    Mold problem

    Bottled a skeeter pee yesterday and when I was cleaning up my stuff I found a very small colony of little specks of mold in my siphon hose. Well I tossed the hose but wonder what I should do with the wine.

    Over Thinking

    I have seen about 7000 questions on skeeter pee. It won't start or do I have to have a cake and on and on and on. It is so simple if you don't even think about reading the original. Mix 7 lbs of sugar to 4 gallons of water. Add 5 tsp of energizer Add 5 tsp nutrient Add 1 pack of any...

    Boiling tip

    Try this next time you are running close on head space and close to a boil over. Just lay a wooden spoon across the top of the kettle and like magic when the foam rises and touch's the wood the boil calms right back down.

    What kind of corn is it? Could you grind your own in the mill out of ordinary corn or maybe popcorn? Is it roasted or treated in any special manner?

    Time wasted

    I have come to the conclusion that draining off a gallon or so from the mash tun to clear the flow is probably just wasting time and effort. The biab folks grind finer crush's almost to powder.
