How to Make Agave Wash "Mosto Vivo!" the Easy Way with HB Agave Pure

Dilution:

The Brix used to produce an alcoholic fermentation must be low, so if it will be necessary to dilute the agave syrup between 10 and 20 ° Brix (or the ° Brix necessary to reach the desired volume of alcohol), the amount of alcohol that will be produced will depend on this.
What dilution rates would you recommend? - Agave Syrup to Water (see CoA and product description for raw material). I would say 1:4 to get a SG of about 1065 – 1070
Before to add yeast, have special attention in dilute first the Agave Syrup to 15 °Bx with water to avoid high osmotic stress on the yeast (dilutie 1 part of Agave syrup per 4 parts of water; 200 ml of yeast Agave Syrup with 800 ml of water)

Yeast:

For DistilaMax® TQ or DistilaMax LS yeast of Lallemand at 70-50g/HL you could start with 1.0 gr/litre and increase to 2.5 gr/litre if necessary looking for to have 12% abv at the end of fermentation process
What Lallemand DistilaMax Yeast would you recommend? Addition rates g/L? DistilaMax TQ or DistilaMax LS + A lot depends on the strength he is targeting but typically this syrup has very low nutrients and low buffers so watch pH.
Hydration: Recommend using Lallemand Go-Ferm Protect Evolution™ during hydration - Lallemand Go-Ferm Protect Evolution™ Yeast rehydration sterols maximise fermentation security, yeast viability and vitality. Dosage: 30 g/hL
Hydrate the yeast in treated water in a ratio of 10 litres of water per 1 Kg of yeast for 30 minutes.
Add Yeast hydrated in the fermentation tank and receive musts

Fermentation:

Agitation is required during ferment. Paying attention to the pH. Slowly adding the diluted syrup to the yeast is also best.
pH Buffering recommend starting fermentation pH of around 5.0 - use aids like calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate to bring pH back up - watch it like a hawk as pH will drop rapidly

In the fermentation process need to control the Temperature from 27 to 30C, pH will drop down towards 3.5 to 6 and add 1 gr/litre (per final volume) of diammonium phosphate (DAP) to aid yeast growth
Yeast Nutrients: DistilaVite GN 70-50g/HL will also aid yeast health and recommend staggered nutrient additions.

Distillation:

In the first distillation process with alambiques the goal is to reach 23% abv
In the second distillation in alambiques the goal is to reach 55% abv
