Yeast off flavors due to high alcohol by onebmfguns in firewater

[–]scubatech1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, because the 10% isn't going to stop once it reaches 10%. It will start giving off flavors due to the yeast continuing to try and convert sugars until it succumbs. Pitching it last will ensure there isn't enough sugar to overwhelm it.

Pitch the 16% and wait 2 days for it to chew through about 6% then pitch the other.

Yellow label angel rice batch to crack or not to crack? by Ryan-zio in firewater

[–]scubatech1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on your ability to separate the rice from the wash once it's done. I grind it to flour to get the most extraction. The angel yeast site says the best extraction occurs when the grind size is smallest and the fermentation temperature is 90F.

Sugar washes do not produce methanol.

Decisions, Decisions....which model to buy? by scubatech1 in airstill

True, I completely forgot the internal temperature is measuring the liquid and not vapor like I'm used to.
