"I just finished running 8 gallons of sweet feed mash:
Recipe:
6 lbs of sugar
about 4"" of sweet grain pellets (Never again)
6 gallons water
about 3/4 bag of turbo 48 yeast
Mash ran for about 5 days
not sure what happened but the mash smelt a little pungent
after I finished dumping the heads and started collecting the hearts it has a very distinctive odor and it isn't very smooth.
My question is WHAT IN THE HELL DID I DO WRONG! sorry about the yelling but damm man it isn't at all what I thought was going to be good...
any thought on what happened...:"

i think you went wrong by using a turbo with sweet feed. Also try non pelletized sweet feed next time

i hate that grain in the pail recipe- I never tried it but it sounds like something they would do on moonshine tv. I think it's really a sugar wash with some grain stuck in it for appearance sake.
This is a very un suported opinion--just an opinion

I am pretty new to all of this. What is the difference between a sweet feed and a sugar wash?

any thought on what happened...: I bet you did'nt do anything wrong unless you fermented too hot or it was the Turbo which by itself will indeed get warm. If it had a pungent odor how did you know where the heads and hearts were seperated. Or did you collect in little jars?? 8 gallon mash and only 6 lbs of sugar with a turbo, it soulds like the yeast overpowered your wash, I bet the grain thing isn't the problem because its just a flavor adding component to the wash. Oh, you didn't dump the whole wash in the boiler did you???"
