I've never had anything come out good at 190 degrees!
Maybe your ferment produced very little alcohol for some reason, I've never seen anybody pull hearts at 190, I guess sea level matters, but not THAT much IME.
170s more normal fer me, 190s be tails land. Backenz

Re: Routine Additives to Your Ferment
Very smart, sulfur is arch enemy of fungus, not sure it is of yeast because they are not fungus. They are more akin to bacteria. Magnesium destroys fungi and so does sulfur, yeast loving magnesium kinda supports the fact they are not fungi. I wanted to know this myself, in my observation, the extra ...

Re: Routine Additives to Your Ferment
True ShadyLane magnesium and calcium work like yin and yang for balance. The magnesium/calcium war is very visible, it is tied to plants, humans and i suspect yeast, that's why I add plenty of coral calcium with the excess magnesium sulfate. Thanks shady for that great input! The output being: You c...

Usually magnesium thwarts fungal growth, but yeast are not fungi, yeasts thrive on magnesium, potassium and phosphorus among other things like nitrogen, just like plants and humans.

For a sugar wash with desire'n corn flavor I'd use plenty cornmeal and you will not need as many nutrients, however I highly recommend adding wheat germ (mega flavor + nutrients) and lots of magnesium sulfate, keep pH stable at 5 for first 24 hours. I toss in handfulls of oyster shell if it gets too...
