cereal wash

[Corps012588]

Woke this morning and getting a burp every 3 or
So seconds through the airlock.
With regards to nutrients, I was under the impression the yeast is would get these from the
Cereal in the wash.
I'm a little concerned now that I may get a yeasty flavour carried over as it has now had 10 tablespoons over its course!
Any suggestions as to how to run it through the
Smartstill or shall I just run as normal.
I'm hoping for some flavour from the cereal in this
One.

I wouldn't worry too much about the yeast. I boil fresh yeast to explode the cells to provide the nutrients for fermentation. It all works out ok and the yeast at the end of fermentation is a lot more than you have added.
Just run it. The cereal in these style washes is mostly there for flavour.

I think there is no risk of that at all. I am trialling 100g in 25l not expecting a problem.
1 tablespoon is circa 15g. So you are well in.

Let it settle somewhere properly cool for a couple of day and the run normally.


Where did this recipe come from ?

I think it was the homedistiller site buddy and thank you

YHB is the one that I remember doing lots of cereal washes on here.
And he seemed to like them.
He possibly stripped more taste out of them with his gear though?

Hey guys. Thanks to all your input it looks like the wash is nearly done. Stuck the hydro in it today.
still tastes great too.
now sorry to be a pain but what are peoples thoughts of maybe doing this like a ujssm? As in add backset sugar and water back to whats left in the fermenter? Or will it not work with it being cereal and not proper grains?
Thanks in advance

Will you be double distilling mash?

Will you be double distilling mash?

I will probably freeze jack to strip and then spirit run on an airstill.

She who shops, is getting my stuff tomorrow. Is there any specific instructions or is this a "lob in & stir"

[Corps012588]

Mash my buddy. I just threw in and stirred. Best of luck

All my cereal washes have been similar, sugar gets dissolved into minimum boiling water then add cereals & top up with hot tap water until there's just enough to soak it all. Then add cold a litre or so at a time whilst keeping an eye on the temperature for pitching. I don't know if adding the cereal to hot or cold makes a difference but it smells nicer when you're making it if they go into hot! Like breakfast on a winters morning!

[Mash]

Thanks chaps. Warm winter brekky coming up!

Edit: it's away!

No activity through the airlock and it's dry and finished.
Should I let this one clear or run it as it is to try and maximise flavour in the airstill?
Have you put this wash on yet mash?

[Mash]

Yes indeedy.

For anyone who brews AG the krausen and the smell are very familiar. Can't wait to taste this.... even before Stillin.
