What went wrong?

Many like to post about a first successful ferment (or first all grain mash), or first still built/bought or first good run of the still. Tell us about all of these great times here.

What went wrong?

Post by 82Winger »

I recently tried a new recipe...a new one to me. I tried my first 4 grain with molasses and ended with no alcohol. NONE. I have had successful runs with UJSSM before.
My recipe was this..
17 lbs. milled corn
4 lbs. milled barley
1 lb. milled oats
5 lbs milled rye
35 lbs. sugar
1 packet of Amylase enzyme
32 oz. molasses
6 1/4oz. of Fleischmann's yeast.

I heated my water to around 170 degrees. Stirred in all the ingredients minus the yeast. The next day after cooling, I added my yeast and stirred every day for 7 days. When I tested the mash the SG was 1.013
I did not do an initial check.
What did I do wrong??
