    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!

      What do you mean "the beginning of the mash"? I thought that was before fermentation. I don't make beer (to drink) .

      @@Psilocybiant I meant after you stir in the grain into your strike water. Strike water is water heated up slightly higher than your intended mash-in temperature since adding grain will drop your water temperature.

    One last question. I don't have a grain mill yet. Could I buy cracked corn from the store and just toast it, or is cracked corn not fine enough?

    • @stillworksandbrewing
      @stillworksandbrewing  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'm not sure but my thinking is I wanted only toast that outside shell for flavor if the corn was cracked you would toast some of the inside might have to try it who knows

    • @stillworksandbrewing
      @stillworksandbrewing  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Great question you need to hold the grain at 155 for 1.5 hour to covert the starch inti sugar then like beer i sparge into fermenter and i end up with a cleaner mash

  • @boblogan8344

    Could you theoretically not use the bag and just use the false bottom in the mash tun? Or is this a bad idea?

  • @norriswebber3790
    @norriswebber3790 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for the video. I am learning a lot. I have read a lot of people say the reason to do all grain is to avoid the off taste that adding sugar adds. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks in advance.

    • @stillworksandbrewing
      @stillworksandbrewing  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That is a great question I do like all grain better but I have made some lets say bourbons and added some sugars to raise my numbers up with no problems no off taste so in my opinion some wont hurt

  • @michael3607
    @michael3607 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

    • @stillworksandbrewing
      @stillworksandbrewing  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      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

  • @Rubberduck-tx2bh

    @stillworks and brewing Randy I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all of your videos! Aloha from the big Island of Hawaii. My still isn’t even here yet and I’m super stoked about getting started. 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!

      Hi Greg , thanks for watching hope they help a little. as far for the first question I have a 8 gal. still with 1 heating element 120 volt i used 1/2 pipe and it seemed to work fine IMO any larger you might need more heat thats a guess yes i am a Bourbon man hey if you like bourbon go for it just remember when it goes into still be clean try to keep particles out take your time its a slow process make small cuts taste taste taste and if you do mess up get up and try again have to say if i can do it anybody can cheers let us know how it turns out randy
