It's called high fructose corn syrup. The Americans have it in everything, even on their chips... They are pretty much addicted to it. It's so water soluble. It's quite hard to buy over here in the UK as I'm sure some of you have already found.

It's not used in much over here, Bakewell Tarts, Carte D'or ice cream, high energy drinks, stuff like that. It's really really bad for you and linked to diabetes.

It's the best fermentation aid for particles. Carp fooking love it.

Put some of this stuff into the water whilst soaking. Put more into the water after boiling too. Put the lid on the bucket and leave sealed... It will start frothing like the bucket of Spencers maize below within a week or so depending on weather/temps. Hey presto. How far you take that is up to you. I personally do not like to get to the alcohol smelling stage, the real magic comes before that. Others do like to go that far.

Peanuts, the same way as tigers. Slime them up.

Im sure its borderline illegal over here

Its lovely though. If you ever try drinks from the american market that use it, and then try the european version that substitutes it for sugar or stevia, the corn syrup drinks are so much smoother, its a totally different type of sweetness. You can see why they're addicted.

It's not the same thing mate. I will use the dry method when I do not have time. It certainly works. I like to add salt to that too.

It's very weather dependent as to how long you leave stuff in a bucket mate. In cooler temps it might take three weeks to reach nirvana. In red hot weather like we had last week, only a week. You have to be the judge.

Look at Spencers bucket of maize below. For me, as you can see I told him, that is absolutely perfect.

He went down lake, smashed them up. Lovely fish too.

Yes they do not like that stuff here, or in Europe either.

Now you all went and got your Daesang corn syrup.... Now you can make it even better.

The American stuff is as the name suggests, high in fructose. But this is for fish in a waterborne environment to ferment particles, so we are now going to take it to the extreme.

Take a 1kg bag of fructose sugar, run it through a coffee grinder to make it ultra fine. Stick a funnel into the top of your 5l bottle of Daesang... And add the fructose sugar slowly, using a wooden spoons long handle to stir inside the bottle. You can get 1kg of sugar into a full bottle pretty much, but I always tip a little bit out first to make things easier. At first the corn syrup will go very thick and sticky... But pop the bottle onto a radiator or into the sun, and it will thin back down. Pop a dab on your tongue, it's very lush and moorish. You can see why the yanks get addicted to it.

Get as much fructose into that bottle as you possibly can.

What you have done, is made yourself a 5l bottle of carp crack... And it cost less than a score delivered.

You can thank me later
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
