I made a five gallons of corn meal and sugar mash (thin mash). I was running it I figure out that alcohol was super low, and I stopped running it. Could let it cool down and is it fermentable still. Add more sugar and yeast, or should I just start over?

Id run that one as is and make another.

thanks tater -- sounds good to me!!!

Tater- i just want to know IF I could let it cool down and add sugar and yeast and reuse it? I am still running it just like you said, I was just wanting to know.

Yep ya could .Way I look at it was say yours was 5 proof best yeast could do was 10. So ya would got 5 more proof . Run what ya got. Start again and get the 10 proof wash .For amount time ya come out better .

Thanks Tater

TATER- you have been lots of help to me. Everything you told me sound just like everything I read in a book name MAKING PURE CORN WHISKEY by Ian Smiley BSc, 2nd edition. How you read or hear of it. Well let get to what I want ask you; I am running the other stuff,and I started my next mash. Right now the SG is 1.120 ( I did not forget to check it this time). Does this sound like a good starting number with the SG. I am "STILL" learning, and you sound like you really know what you are talking about! Hope I not BUGGING you!
Thanks Tater

All most the same--- 8lbs corn meal -10lbs sugar - 1lbs brown sugar - Around 5 gallons of water. LOTS more sugar this time. Hope not too much sugar!!
