Re: Finley smelling Corn mash
have not seen the will not oak thread but good choice holding onto the puke smelling booze. The jug i got was oaked heavily and just started coming around to something amazing after 12 months and is now heavenly about 3 years later.
I finally quit drinking for good.
now i drink for evil.

I hope you don't mean you are going to age it white. I'd put it in a 2/3ds full jar with some nice oak for at least a couple of years before pulling a sample, removing the cork every few months for a smell and to let it breath.

Hey NZChris
It is on oak and I will let it age... time will tell eh.

It sure will.
That reminds me, I have a demijohn somewhere here that had a similar start but I haven't seen it for a while. I should try and find it again. The last time I stumbled on it it was very nice.
