technical names for different distilled ferments/washes/mashes

Post by BOLDBEAR 73 »

Hello all, I am not a newbie but am still looking for an answer to one question that I haven't been able to find. Is there an official "Name" for a spirit distilled from a combined Fruit and grain mash?

Is there a mash bill that you have in mind? Experimentation is part of the hobby. You may come out with some funky flavor profiles in some unconventional ways but is part of the journey.

Call it a 'ferment'.

Covers everything.
