Re: First all grain ferment...mold on the top...
This happens when the grain on the surface are not mixed. Be sure to soak the grains on the surface at least once a day in the future.

Re: Old wine - brandy or spirit?
I recommend creating a brandy, often an excellent brandy is made from a bad wine. If you don't like it, you dilute it and distill it again to a neutral.

Re: Controller fan
PC fans are typically 12v DC. You can also power them at 5 volts... it will spin more slowly but enough for your purpose, feel free to use a battery charger from an old cell phone. Connect the fan respecting the polarity (in DC it is important)... generally black wire (-) and red wire (+). Sometimes...

Re: Open Source Recipe Builder/Calculator Application
I use brewfather for my beer but it's always nice to have new tools. A forum user created an app with some people's ideas and there are (few) apps like this. It would be nice to have other tools.

Re: Any ideas for old Malted Barley?
Don't throw it away..... sooner you could do a mini test mash to understand the diastatic power. People selling homebrewing supplies have no idea about distillation and are often trying to sell you something.

Re: Cloudy effect - relationship with maceration alcohol
I'm going to guess that what you were trying to say was lost in translation. Personally, I don't use Star Anise in gin or Absinthe. Probably…let's look at it another way. I want to make an essence with botanicals high in essential oils. The botanicals will be macerated in alcohol and then distilled...

Cloudy effect - relationship with maceration alcohol
I know well "the cloudy effect" which takes place in the presence of essential oil and water. I am experimenting with the maceration and the subsequent distillation of the starry anise (in the same way as one gin) to obtain an essence that will be used in a liqueur (therefore added with al...
