Thanks for the video, Randy! Best practices are to adjust pH at the beginning of mash (like in beer), not before fermentation. If you can get your mash to 5.25-5.5 you don’t have to recheck later. Cheers!

Hey Randy, excellent video! Doesn’t Sebstar convert the starches to fermentable sugars? I have taken gravity readings after mashing and definitely show signs of sugar as well as taste. Is this a false positive? Starch test passes as well. Thanks and keep up the great videos!! Learning so much from you.
@stillworksandbrewing3 жыл бұрын
Hi, Michael , the sebstar break down the starch into dextrins that are non fermentable it is used to thin up the mash and you will need a type of Amylase enzyme to do the conversion like malted barley or powder

A couple of questions for you, first I’m going to add a couple of half gallon mason jars for my thumper/gin baskets and I want to know is there any advantage or disadvantage in using three-quarter inch copper versus half-inch copper line? Also I just watched a video that said that bourbon is your favorite distillate and as a knob Creek and Woodford reserve guy I can’t agree with you more! Would you please let me know what you would recommend for a first time run for a beginner distiller? Pretty please with bourbon on top!
