Just wanted to know if mash gives off alot of smell when im distilling it. I live in apt and i have a 1 gallon worth of mash i want to distill, but i don't want it to stink up the place too bad.

If it smells too much, you've got a problem somewhere, going too fast, a hole, not enough condensation, something.

I typically do 5 gallon runs and I'm in a 900 square foot apartment. There is a definate smell to distilling, although its not really an unpleasant smell. Opening a window a little bit helps a lot.

Well, okay thanks. I was talking to some dude awhile back and he was telling me distilling smells like shit or worse.

Its not the distilling that smells its when you open the boiler afterwards.
