Nope, just ferment it, and when its done fermenting, put it in your still and run it. You should let the yeast settle out for a day or two after fermenting, but that's not really maturing. Maturing happens after its been distilled. Look at the preparing>fermentation>settling section on the parent site for more on what to do when your wash is done fermenting.

no, it can run as soon as its done fermenting. Some try to clear all of some of the yeasts, some don't. There was a recent post and poll on this. Look back for a post about clearing washes.
