My First Mash!!!

[Jeffrich]

Sorry guys, y'all might find this boring, but I just set my first mash fermenting! It's only a sacrificial run for cleaning my new still, but I'm so excited that I could stand on the bar and announce it to the world!! But, since I can't do that, y'all get to hear it!! I've been reading the website and the forums for the last several months, and now finally got something going... The info here is Awesome. I keep reading myself in circles. I'm lucky in the fact that I have a friend who is very experienced and active in this forum that I can run to for help. Sorry for rambling, but I'm so EXCITED!!!!

I forgot the pic! 2 - 2 1/2 gallon batches!!



Hope this works.....

Congratulations, Jeff. And welcome to the board.

Photobucket didn't work. Please upload photos directly to the forum. We frown on 3rd party hosts.

And here's a tip to make you sound smart. "Wash" is the generic term for something you fermented to distill. It's only a "mash" if it's made totally from grains with no sugar.

[Jeffrich]

Sorry, and thanks for the tip about Wash. Still getting the terms confused. Do you have a link that you could send me on how to upload to the forum? All the search results I get recommend photobucket, or how to upload to the Wiki. Maybe I'm missing the obvious, but any help would be appreciated....

[Jeffrich]

Trying again, Hope it works this time

2 - 2 1/2 Gallon Batchs

Thank you Skow69 for the suggestions!

A sacrifical using corn?

[Jeffrich]

Yes, It's my first attempt at making a wash and figured the little bit of corn wasn't all that expensive if I could learn something. Already planning my next wash for a real run after the still is cleaned....
