probably a dumb question i think i know the answer to but methanol starts boiling at 64c but ethanol start boiling at 78c but lets say im tryin g to get my mash up to 80c to start distilling what would happen if i just couldn't get it to 80c and it was stuck at like 68c would anything even come out or would its just be methanol and no ethanol
so i dont have a hydrometer yet but my mash has stopped bubbling and im belive it done but i just wanna know if theres any signs if it should still go for a bit longer
so it where a kid on favella scream seem crap like who over the f### lives in the mud hut in tahiti get off the wifi does anyone have the link to that clip
so i started my corn mash a few days ago its 7/2 corn to barley i just wanna know what corn mash is supposed to smell like since i cant really tell if mine smells sour or boozy
So I added yeast to my mash yesterday and it is fermenting like crazy it bubbles like every second should I stir it or leave it?
OK so I cooked this mash yesterday and left it over night so it could cool down so I could add the yeast I unopened it up and all the corn was at the top and stuff is this a good thing?
I've been cooking this 8lb cracked corn and 2 pounds of malted barley for about 2 hours now I would like to know if there any real signs it's ready to take off the heat
ok so i made a mash and i wasnt able to cook long enough to cook down the starches and crap or what ever and i had to let it sit for 2 days and now its slighlty moldy with a bit of weird foamy white mold and a little vinegary smelling i jsut mixed it up and noww its really goopy do i gotta throw it all out or can i cook it one more time
so im making my mash and i jsut wanna k now how bad is it if it starts boiling
