I started with 20 gallons of water, 15 lbs of cracked corn, 15 lbs of sugar and 4 packets of yeast (2.25 teaspoons in each).

I tried to brew 10 gallons of the mash and it produced a small amount of alcohol at 125 proof.

I dumped the remainder of the liquid from the still back into the mash… (sour mash)

Yesterday I put 15 lbs of sugar and 3 tablespoons of yeast in the container that had the sour mash…..

What do you think?

I have the 10 gallon still from Clawhammer

My hydrometer will work in mash?

4th run. I again produced mash from 20 gallons of water, 15 lbs of sugar, 15 lbs of cracked corn and packets of yeast. I let it ferment for 8 days. I only put 10 gallons of the mash into the still and it produced less than 1/4 gallon at only 130 proof. Now, I have 10 gallons in that tub with the 15 lbs of cracked corn for about a week. Is that still good? I was trying to make sour mash. Is that still good? It has been sitting a week.

Thank you

it was actually 12% abv

I have corn mash that has been sitting since Friday. When I stir it, it bubbles. If I not stir it, no bubbles

The temp was 184 for 6 hours. It never trickled. It was a drop or two per seconds at its fastest point. If I have air leaks, would it cut the production that much?

[Rebel]

I think 14.5

I accidentally put 20 lbs of cracked corn in the mash…. is that going to be a problem? Should I remove some?

[Rebel]

Thank you….. How do I know when it is ready to put through the still?
