Home Distiller

Hi all. Quick question I have had my mash fermenting for 14 days now with airlock, have 7 more to go I am working 21 days on my job and was wondering will it be ok when I get home after sitting for that long?


Thanks,

Yes, should be fine. A friend made some hard cider that he forgot about and after more than a year I ran it through the still and she made some pretty good brandy.

So long as you're fermenting a few (5-10) gallons you're more than fine. The weight and heat on the yeast shouldn't cause off flavors. If you're doing quite a bit more than that, I would recommend getting of the yeast sooner rather than later once it finishes, but I think you'll be fine. Dead yeast have a specific flavor that you'll taste in your hydrometer sample if you get to that point.

I've left 6.5 gallons of beer in a carboy with airlock for 6 weeks with no issues.

Never be scared to charge it when you in dout.
It all bout learnin .
Can't see how it can go to the bad that quick in a air
tite jug. Mostly wine over 12 percent will keep.

So im tole :
