Oh rite didn’t know I could put it in my next mash b4 distilling… How do u know what’s heads hearts and tails???

What should it smell and taste like how do I know it’s safe to cut and drink?? No stupidly I some how bought a 18 lit still so did big lot first then 9 lits second..

[Rwithers]

It was from a 25liter wash .got a 18liter still so did 2 cooks ..
That’s what the alcometer said 74% which I thought u doubled to get proof ??
It’s a stainless still still I can’t seem to attach picture of it .!! Is 4 x 750ml jars to much ??

yes im a beginner….!!! I did do a sugar mash which was 8kgs of sugar 21 lits of water and one pack of alcotec 48 left it 7 days and it was on 990 on the hydrometer and 10% on alcometer I then distilled it when I went over 174F it started to run I threw first 100ml as watched youtube and that’s what was said to do, then I collected 4 jars of 750ml @ 75% or 150 proof it has a strong smell (not that I know what it should smell like) it burns with a very blue flame … but I was scared to drink it as mates said that I could go blind if its made wrong … thoughts ?? do I throw it or how do I know if its dangerous ???

jus found some natco cornmeal which says its freshly ground from the grain of golden yellow maize ground to super fine texture no added aditives… is this better than the polenta cornmeal I found ???

[Rwithers]

so they should be the same then ?? I was going to do a 1gal mash with it jus to try it .. how much corn do I use and how much sugar?? iv got alcotec 48 yeast will this be ok but there 135gram packs which say to do a 25lit wash ?? I have some small packs of 5 gram champagne yeast too but they also say sufficient for 5 gall mix ????
