Hello. I am running my first large run of sugar wash, 30 gallons. I'v only done 5gl at at any one time to learn the process from start to finish. I have to leave town and will be gone for two weeks. any suggestions? my question is can i run it, should kill the yeast. then when i get back throw some yeast in it and more sugar and nutrients and start over. or run it and throw out the waste. or what else can I do. I dont want it to keep going and then go bad.
any suggestions would be appreciated
thanks in advance.

Re: leaving town 3/4 into fermentation
Just let it ferment and clear while you're gone... If sealed from infection it should be ready to run upon your return...

There's you answer, lunar. Not a problem if it's sealed.

Re: leaving town 3/4 into fermentation
Thank you. I was worried it would go bad. I'll turn the heat source off and let it drop down to garage temp. is about pretty cold at night.
