Is it bad ?

Post by Smokey hollow »

Got some wash ( corn meal , sugar , carmel malt grain , yeast , and water ) i warmed everything up to get it started and it done great , bubbled like crazy for several days ( maybe 4 ) then eased off . Just like i have for awhile . Its proved to me to be a quick wash that i like to taste after the run . Anyway i forgot about it cause i been working on other washes and mash . My question is -it still smells good but its been done bubbling thru the water lock for a good month or so . Yall think its still alright to run and drink ? If you need the hydrometer reading ill take anouther one . Last time i did it was 1.01 but that was a month ago lol . Let me know if you need a reading to let me know if its ok or what you think . Thanks guys. SH

if it still smells fine and has no off taste run it.I have left UJSSM sit for 6 months over the winter; its funny it will become as clear as water if you let it sit that long.
The fun is in the outcome

Even if it smelled bad, and was infected, nothing bad carries over into the distillate. I have infected mashes on purpose.

It will be at least as good or better if infected. RUN IT!

Re-run it with your next run, or just dump a bunch of wood chips in it and forget it for a couple months. Then if you still don't like it. Re-run it in your next run.
Experience is something you gain shortly after you need it.
