What if you kill your moonshine mash yeast?
Killing your moonshine mash yeast can lead to a failed fermentation, resulting in little to no alcohol production. This typically occurs due to extreme temperatures, high sugar concentrations, or the presence of toxic substances. Without active yeast, your mash will not convert sugars into alcohol, and you'll end up with a sweet, unfermented mixture instead of the desired spirits. To prevent this, maintain proper fermentation conditions and monitor your mash closely.
