Recycled corn?
Posted: Thu May 05, 2022 9:18 am
Hello all,
I am new to using a thumper and learning as I go. But this is the mashing fermenting section.
So I'm used to working with my column and squeezing the grain after fermentation. Dealing with mostly ground corn not cracked but not quite meal either. I'm putting my clear an my boiler and the solids and some clear in the thumper.
I know when I was using my column I would strain the grains and start a UJSSM ferment.
My question now is that I'm running my grain in the thumper is it even worth while to do that?
I did do a starch and there are some starches left in the stuff that came out of the thumper. Maybe strain the juice off and reuse the corn with angel yellow label maybe? or just add sugar like a UJSSM? Or is it even worth while to mess with it.
One reason I ask is the corn out of the thumper is very thin since its been cooked again.
But the last two runs I've dumped the thumper behind the shed and it smells beautiful back there.
Please bear with me I'm still trying to figure all the thumper ins and out.
Btw Its a keg boiler and 13g milk can thumper. Mostly just doing stripping runs before putting the column on and running my spirit run.
Sorry if this has been asked before I'm still reading my way through all the thumper posts.
As always thanks for the help.
