Re: I was fiven 45lb of apples
So this isn't going like I wanted. I have 5 gallons of apple sauce. This stuff is thick I added the 2 liters of water per 10 kg of apples and this stuff still looks like apple paste. All I've ever done is corn washes and one attempt at an all grain. I can't even get a sg reading this stuff is so thi...

Re: uncle jesse's simple sour mash method
I'm not in a hurry just asking question. And I am researching but I have learned that all research isnt created equal. I knew when I added to much sugar it would take longer just didn't think it would be that long. I thought my ph should be between 2.0 And 5.4 And I thought higher fermenting temps w...

Tails and heads
So quick question if I keep adding my heads and tails from my spirit runs to my next run the amount of heads and tails in my next run will go up? The reason I ask is because in my head that would just make sense of you keep adding more of something the amount of it will get higher. And I'm trying to...
