I am brand new to this. I just got a 5 gal vevor pot still for christmas. Did a lot of reading and watched videos. Chose a sweet feed mash for my first ferment. My plan was to make a mash, ferment it, distill it then make apple pie moonshine. After starting the first ferment I did more reading and found out about stripping runs. I changed my plan to three 5 gal mashes and doing a spirit run with the low wines form all 3. So I started a 2nd sweet feed mash. I will start a 3rd sweet feed mash tonight.
I did a stripping run on my first mash yesterday.
My oops is I did not know about taking a hydrometer reading. My first mash I took no readings. By the second mash I knew to take one, but did it AFTER I added my yeast.
Where do I go from here? How do I proof it? I have both a tripple scale hydrometer and a refractometer 0-32% brix
thanks
oops...now what?
