When the mash is done fermenting, can I drink the mash straight without even distilling it? After seven days it tasted like dry wine and it was delicious. It smelled so good and tasted so good I just wanted to drink a full glass (or two) right there on the spot.
this recipe is
6.3 Lbs corn (rolled to be made somewhat flat and cracked)
1.25 Lbs malted barley
1.5 Lbs sugar
5 gal water
yeast
thanks,
ptech

I always try a spoonful but that's about it. Mainly checking for infection or off flavors. I wouldn't say it's good or anything but that's how it goes, different tastes for different people
