Interesting. I'll give this a try as I usually do a basic sugar wash. Haven't added the corn meal but will give it a try. thanks."

Takes me about 14 days to ferment, although I usually wait 21 since I'm not usually in a hurry. Heads are very compressed (I reflux for at least an hour) & I have great delineation between the heads, hearts, & tails. In fact I get fore tails & aft tails. The fore tails I can clean up with carbon & the aft tails go back into the carboy for the next time.
