I am very new to this whole game. What is the best way to get a batch at that gravity? I added the sugar to the corn to try to boost the sugar content in hopes of getting more final product. Am I misunderstanding? and you would continue with the distillers yeast?

Fermentating process: I cook the mash then let it cool down to about 70 degrees. I have done one batch strained before I fermented and one after but I had similar problems with both. I bottled it into a glass carboy and used distillers yeast, this batch was strained before I added it to the carboy. it was kept in my basement which stays at a pretty constant temp of 70-75. I used an airlock as well. I let it go until the bubbling in the airlock has stopped.

Yessir, 5 gallons. Sorr for forgetting to provide you with the basic info. So was there just very little fermentation?

Recipe was 8.5 lbs of flaked corn, 4 lbs. cane sugar, 2 lbs malted barley. I don’t recall the exact final gravity but the final percent was around 7 %. I have not taken the time to check the proof of what I produced. Should I check the jars that seemed to be heads as well?
