Fermentation time
Posted: Tue Jul 25, 2023 4:23 pm
Hi All
First up I am an all grain novice for distilling. My son is full on all grain brewer. We have just mashed milled malted grain to distil for the first time and produced about 100L of wort. I have distiller's whiskey yeast to pitch which I am going to do in 4 x 25L washes.
My question is when will I know when the fermentation is complete? Do I use when the airlock stops bubbling, when it reaches aa specific SG or as I have seen in some places after 72hours and no longer than 80hours.
Any advice you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
