How many times can you reuse the sour mash

[@olbenparker310]

Good Info. Question: if you are going to add water wouldn't it be better to dissolve the sugar in the water so you can get it in solution before dumping it in the fermenter? Also, would you want to use inverted sugar as well? makes it better for the yeast.

[@patrickwilliams9717]

Great video! Really helps out some of us new guys. If I wanted to ferment during winter (my garage is 45-50 degrees) do I need to heat the mash, or will the yeast work at that temp just slower?

[@Chillguydrew]

It will Ferment at lower temperatures but Ideally you want it between 60-80 degrees

I ferment mine in my living room at 67 degrees.

[@hansfreundwich8331]

What is the point of having uncooked cracked corn in both runs, without adding malted barley or amylase? There was no way for the corn to convert its starch to fermentable sugars without heat and amylase and the yeast couldn't get to any sugar in the corn on its own. The only thing you fermented was the added sugar. Was the corn just for the 'taste'?

[@philbillymoonshine7356]

the sugar in the corn will break down over time that is why you don't get any until the second run. Malted barley just speeds up the process this is what poor mountain folk have been doing for years, it is one of the most popular recipes in the whole world, that is why we made the video, we have some other videos coming up where we use malted barley and amylase. The point of our videos is to get people into it, and show how easy it can be, we have some next level vids coming up that you would probably like more.

[@jasonjeffers3929]

Also this is what the old timers used back in the day. It's called sour mash and the corn will turn sour and add a much better flavor profile in the 2ed gen to the last is about 5th gen.

[@hansfreundwich8331]

@@philbillymoonshine7356 I'm not doubting you. I've just seen on multiple other channels that the yeast can't get to the sugar in the corn without the enzyme. If you could, do a video on cracked corn and yeast without adding sugar and let us know how much alcohol was fermented over time. That would be great!

[@philbillymoonshine7356]

It works this way it just don't really happen until the second go round, i will do a couple videos just about malted barley coming up soon. In the states this is a very popular recipe, i however am in the process of making a potato vodka where i did use malted barley to help break down the taters.

[@everydayden5826]

@@hansfreundwich8331 I am sure you got your answer by now, but this really is just a sugar head recipe. The corn is used for flavoring only, and really does not contribute to the overall sugar content of the wash. The added sugar is where you get the fermentable sugars from. You are correct that without cooking the corn and getting a starch conversion, you will not get fermentable sugars from the corn. -- den

I’m getting an off taste and smell in my ujssm. Same recipe as used in this video. I use my tap water but My water tastes good and is a drilled well 300 ft deep. I’m going to try another batch with spring water I guess.

[@philbillymoonshine7356]

Did you maybe get some corn in your pot and it scorched? The water is definitely not the issue. Also was it warm enough for the yeast, keep in mind concrete garage floors stay cool even when its 90 outside, bucket warmers are like ten bucks and are awesome. I know in the video i say 3 days but i always let it go much longer, in theory you could run it after 3 days but i like to get as much alcohol as possible. 2 weeks is good measure on any run especially if you aint got no magic alcohol wand layin around. A lot of these guys out here want to make as much alcohol as quick as possible because they want to be duke boys, i care more about the taste because it is for me to drink, so it is worth some extra time and love.

[@robertbeauchesne9148]

I used DADY and let it ferment about 3 weeks. Gravity was .996. I strained it so no corn got in but some cloudy did get in. Mash smelled really good except for a faint off odor that got magnified by distilling. I am able to filter out the odor and taste but I want to be happy with it right off the still. Ps.

Matter of fact I kinda just did that. This will be my 1st attempt for Sour. I for last couple years cook the grain in a Brew Bag, your right makes life easier, just remove the bag when done. This time I left the bag and grain in after adding Sugar and Yeast. Over night, I was thinking how the Yeast was sticking to the bag, this morning, I emptied the bag and did away with it.
