NEPA-still-chillin Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 We are fermenting on grain at my distillery and I've never done a mash like this, Its 100% corn meal, we are using enzymes but once it cools and we pitch I cant seem to get a " Real " SG reading. The liquid is just to thick and has too many dissolved solids in it I feel to get an accurate SG reading. I can use calculators but I still like the old school way of density reading, is there a technique to get this or is this type of brew impossible to read with SG?
JohninWV Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 We use a handheld kitchen strainer...like something to sift flour. Then take a reading.
HedgeBird Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 we use a coffee filter inside of strainer. just need a few drops for refractometer and iodine test.
NEPA-still-chillin Posted January 21, 2014 Author Posted January 21, 2014 Cool, pretty straight forward. Hopefully I can find our Refrac somewhere so I don't need so much Thanks guys
