UJSSM Turned Purple

Sugar, and all about sugar washes. Where the primary ingredient is sugar, and other things are just used as nutrients.

UJSSM Turned Purple

Post by Blazebag »

Hope i'm posting this in the correct section. Been looking for hours, but can't find anything else like this on the forums.
I made up a 5-6 gallon batch of ujssm about two weeks ago, numbers were good according to the thread. It finished fermenting about a week ago and has just been sitting since. when i took a reading about a week ago, it was a bright yellow. I opened the fermenter today to transfer the wash to let it clear and it is a dark purple color. Has anyone heard of or experienced this?

Thanks
Blaze

so it should still be good to run? smells slightly acidic, but not very bad. being new to distilling, i want to get as many runs under my belt as possible to learn my equipment/the craft of distilling. thanks for responses
