Stick you ear close to the surface , if its not fizzing its getting close to run time.
Stick your finger in it ...if its not sweet and has a slight sourness to it , its finished and its time to go.
No need for fancy gadgets with most washes to tell when you can run.

Tests show that a single hydrometer stored with a Prozac are much less likely to go all suicidal.HDNB wrote:hope you bought the three pack.

Re: My first UJSSM ferment
In my run right now. No real change in flavor to it since I started. Separated the first 30 oz of my 10 gal. wash.
At 70% abv right now. Collecting in pints. Might I see a change in flavor to a sour mash type in following generations?
This is great to see my efforts in still making working out

Re: My first UJSSM ferment
Going to run it down to about 20% and shut down. Ran my thumper with a small amount of wash, water, and some of the corn from the first ferment. Any suggestions on a better approach for my next run?

Re: My first UJSSM ferment
Everything finished out nicely and ended up with a little overa gallon of likker. Aired it out, and ended up with some good corn flavored stuff!

Re: My first UJSSM ferment
Love your signature, reminds me of a grumpy old guy that taught me how to drive tractor trailer, man he gave me a hard time. I was downshifting as I was nearing a downgrade he yells what the hell you slowing down for!? I reply I'm heavy there's a hill and I don't know how steep it is or what's at the bottom. He says "boy you can go down too slow as much as you want, but you only go down too fast once"jb-texshine wrote: Low wines in thumped and wash in boiler
He was alot less grumpy after that, thanks for the trip down memory lane!
