hello this is where im at ive got 2lbs corn meal 2lbs sugar 2packets highly active yeast and 2 1/4 gals distilled its in a 2 1/2 gal plastic mr beer maker fermentinggoing on 3rd day im going to distille it in a 4gal ss pot/lid using 15 ft 3/8in copper tubing, coiled through a 5 gal bucket packet with ice through activated charcoal. It is my 1st time and just need someones to say HOLD UP or its ok im not much into typing but i am not afraid to ask for help or suggestions but heres a few a air lock is it a must have and whats its purpose? should i stir it at all if so how much? the yeast is gettin busy inside what kind of smeel should it have and will it change when its down? visually what should it look like? i can go on but wont. any and all help will be greatly appreciated thanks alot

well overall it went well out of the 2 1/4 gal i got back alittle over 2 quarts ran it again and got just under that it came out very clear. the only thing i dont like it that it smells like bread alot more so after 1st run alot less after second run. what did i do wrong and how do i fix it? besides that its definatelly potent. it light up in a spoon bites all the down etc. ive learned a few thing the ss pot worked but keeping a good seal was a chore im lookin 4 a stainless steel pressure cooker any advice suggestions would be great thanks.
