Re: Cornflakes whiskey

Do you mean how long will the unstilled wash keep good? How long do you plan? Since it's not airlocked anymore, I would only go a few days. Correct.

It has now finished fermenting but the cornflakes are sitting up to the 9l level in the fermenter. Any tips on how to rack it - can I squash the cornflakes down before racking with a long sp...
