This was fantastic sir! To help anyone out there calculate their mash/wash's ABV simply use this basic math formula. Specific gravity - final gravity multiplied by 131.25 = ABV %. In this specific recipe 1.052-1.000 = 0.052 * 131.25 = 6.825 % ABV. 7 percent ABV is really good for an all grain wash with no sugar added to it. I tend to shoot for roughly around 12 to 14% ABV give or take a little.

@StillnTheClear6 ай бұрын
No, you can't make that substitute because the diastatic power of malted corn is very low. It doesn't even have enough DP to convert it's own starches much less the starch of another grain. This is why malted barley is used in so many recipes. It has a very high diastatic power.

When trying to figure out how to mash in with a lower abv what is the formula? How many gravity points per weight of corn per gallon? What abv gives the best corn flavor?

I like corn at 1.050 or just below. I don't use a thumper either. Starts coming off the still at around 135. I keep everything from 130 down to 90. Usually end up with a final product at 110 proof. No tempering required.

While fermenting a grain and sugar mash to make alcohol I had the idea to run my grain mash through an ultrasound to decrease particle size to make the grain mash more bioavailable to the yeast. The results were incredible. I am wondering if you can also try this on a grain mash and measure the results between the ultrasound mash and a control. I did a very short clip showing my bubbler and fermentation bucket. @ After this I tried a sugar wash through the ultrasound unit but it did not seem to increase the rate at all. Probably because the dissolved sugar was already at it's smallest size. It did seem to point to the fact that the yeast did better with the smaller particle grain mash than it did with the sugar wash. I really would like to see someone do more testing and research on this as it could have a huge impact in several fields like fuel and space travel. That and I like the idea of giving back to the yeast something it likes for its centuries of service to humankind. @/yeast lives matter. I would love a reply with your thoughts.

@kennethhathaway30902 жыл бұрын
all you need is an ultrasonic parts cleaner. put your grain mash, after grinding and mixing with water in the ultrasonic parts cleaner and like a kidney or gallstone it breaks it into smaller and smaller pieces until the bloodstream and urinary tract can wash them out of the system(simpified version) The smaller you can break something down the greater the surface area to react with( like if a rubics cube was all just smaller cubes and you painted each little cube separately it would take a greater amount of paint than the big cube would as more of the internal areas became external surfaces. The increased surface area like an expanding picnic table allowing more of the yeast to have a seat to eat decreasing the time it takes to finish all the food. More yeast getting fed with less time and effort getting to the food leaves them with more strength to eat.. Like the finer you grind gunpowder the bigger the boom. A synergistic effect. Also a much happier work environment for the yeast. With how much we depend and profit from their work they deserve all we can give and in giving get more from it. We share the same goal a happy life. If helping yeast helps us its a win win. Equaling more than the sum of it's parts when we think with the head but work from the heart
