Racked 20 gallons of 5th gen ujssm wash this morn it had a very different smell and taste this round. Tasted alot less like beer and more like dry wine or vinager. I am 1 gallon into a strip run and the taste is much more heated to my tongue than the previous runs and has a slight smell/taste of rubbing alcohol. I am collecting at about 65% right now (cooled abv). My mash was started at 1.080 and finished at 1.000 and fermented for 6 days and settled for one at an average temp of 70°.
Not sure if this is the normal taste evolution......

Re: smell and taste question ujssm
Taste is mellowing out slightly at 1.5 gallons. Correction on original post the abv was 60% ,distillate was not as cool as I thought.
