I am currently making ujssm and it has been finished fermenting for 3 days I took the wash off the grain befor second fermentation started and added some water to keep yeast healthy.

It had a white oily fiim on the top of the mash and it had bubbles it the film wash tasted just like vinegar. And also I have amaylas enzyme, I usually put in when I cook the corn with a lil bit of barley then after it drops to 150 f I put more enzyme and about a gallon of malted barley.

Can boiling corn when makeing a ujssm reduse chances of infection in the mash?

So I was thinking boiled core will kill any bacteria on the corn also creating more corn flavor...
