I pulled off the grain to let the mash settle and ran into a problem on the still. Now all fixed how long can I let it sit and still be good to run? It smells like hard alcohol does not smell sour at all.

I have them airing with coffee filters. Now I have to try and find the hearts and do what blending I ne...

That's what I thought, but didn't know if it would hurt the sludge on the bottom.

If this is in here Im sorry I cant find it. I siphoned off the grain but how do I get the liquid that is left in the grain? I did a 30 gal run and there is probably 5 gal or so in the SF. I know I am to just take a little off the top and replace it with new so do you just leave the liquid in and jus...

I have been making wine for years and just made the jump over to distilling. I have a 10gal pot still with a thumper, looking forward to learning this trade.
