Is it necessary to refrigerate backset after you have distilled it down to about 30%? This was from a SF/Malted Barley run.
The backset was allowed to cool to ambient temp, and then put into jugs, but was not refrigerated. Space cadet left them on the shelf and went off and forgot..Say about two weeks.
I notice, the jugs have seperated - light color on top, and a darker liquid(color of molasses) at the bottom, about the bottom inch of the gallon jug. Can this be reheated to about 170f, and used as backset or should It be used to treat fire ant mounds? |

Just a guess
. Why not treat it like wine and use sorbate and sulfite. I use the potassium sorbate and sodium metabisulfite on recently fermented batches that I don't intend to run for a long time-- Sometimes I want to ferment a few 6 gallon batches before running all of it---

I have a bunch of the sulfite, but no sorbate. Do you mix in the sulfite at the same ratio used for sanitizing, or less? It's gonna be a number of days b4 I can get into town for a supply run to get the sorbate... |

I don't know what is too long- I use sorbate and sulfite as recommended by the supplier-- Sanitizing strength sounds bad-- I'm jus trying to tell you what I do with freshly fermented wash that I don't intend to use right away

Not really an option with a SF wash...the grains are pretty much spent, and I am supposed to start anew on the grain bill.. The SF backset I am referring to would be used to melt the sugar in and then add to the fermenter prior to pitch time. If it's gotten dirty (unsanitary), I'd rather use it for fire ant anihilation than take a chance.... |
