jeffw Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Quick little game of what the hell is that? The orange stuff is something new to me. This is a new equipment "sacrificial" mash with mostly corn. Smells like a normal bourbon mash. It is extremely oily. Corn oil? Otherwise, maybe some fluid leaked into the mash from the gear box on the agitator? All thoughts welcome. I did not taste it. Distilling now and I will see how the low wines taste.

Stumpy's Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 We see that when we do an all corn mash. Depending on the variety of corn, we see some with more and some with less. If the kernels are a little darker down toward the tip, it seems to be more. Not sure exactly what it is, but I'd say "corn oil" is a good bet. Everything seems to ferment and distill out just fine.

PeteB Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I get a very similar oil with rye. Does anyone else see that with rye??? Unlike most others I get very little foaming with my rye and I have often suspected it is because of the natural oil in my rye variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
