On-grain distillation from Yellow Label "mash"
So a few months back I toasted up some rolled barley and made a simple no mash whisky with yellow label yeast. The three buckets have been sat in my office smelling delicious for a while now and I've finally cleared enough time and space to actually strip them. But having just siphoned off the first two buckets, I find that only about 50% of the volume is clear liquor. In the past, I'd just squeeze the solids and let the resulting goop settle out, but I now have a steam stripping rig so I got to wondering... but before I become the guinea pig I'd like to know if anyone else has steamed the solids from a YL mash. Any interesting flavour carry-over? I think I can strip 2 charges of clear wash from racking, so I'm not taking too big a risk by trying it... I just don't want to do it if someone has already found something horrific carrying over.
