Bentonite

Post by Triplequad »

Ive got some all high corn off the grain mashes finishing up and I was going to try bentonite. Is there anything unique to corn and bentonite I should be aware of?

Depends...on where you’ve been tonight! :lol:

But, here’s a thread (among many) to read: https://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtop ... 15&t=68673

I use bentonite at the start of making a sugar wash.. don't use it with an AG mash..

Help clearing of a sugar wash if done right..
