Great video! Thankful for the metric AND imperial units.

I just saw a 5 part series of Videos from George,and he Used sweet potato ,and he says that they have all the enzymes needed for starch conversion,going to have a go with that and include grains

[@MZ.X-Alien]

Why do you need alfa amilaze enzime, if you have added malt (which containes enzimes)?

[@dominickcapito4420]

I’ve been researching this a lot. I think you don’t need as much malt if you use the enzyme. The enzyme breaks it up more so more starch the better ABV

[@BobZed]

Why add alpha amylase enzyme and malt? It depends on how much malt and how much adjunct (corn, rice, etc.) you have compared to the malt. Unfortunately, the enzymes in malt are not perpetually useful. If it's a 50/50 mix between malt and adjuncts, you're probably OK, but the closer you get to that mark the more likely it is that you will need to add additional enzymes. Alternatively, you could use six row barley rather than two row. It has more protein, less starch, more enzymes and a thicker husk than two-row. I am kind of amazed at how long the mash is conducted. IMHO, the malt and the enzymes should go in at the same time. Sure, it's slightly less efficient to go for an hour, but way less annoying.

There are other videos using potatoes, or just juice and sugar.

[@kanmaen4183]

Can you drink the distilled water directly?

[@bigboyshobbies5731]

water or moonshine. Both of them you can but not too much. Too much distilated water can kill you because it will flush away a lot of microelements from your body. Too much alcohol its also dangerous :)

[@kanmaen4183]

@@bigboyshobbies5731 besides corn, what else is the ideal ingredient to get good vodka

[@josephbXIX]

@@kanmaen4183 sugar. Search for Birdswatcher recipe or tomato paste vodka. Table sugar gives an even cleaner spirit and its easier to work with. Just dissolve it. Probably corn sugar or corn syrup could work well too if its cheaper in your area. Mostly anything can make vodka, some things will just require more work (like molasses and sugar cane juice or potatoes).

After distilled how much the alcohol percentage ?

Dont skip on cooking the goddamn corn. I just did that, my og should be 1080 but it was 1040 because my malt enzymes couldnt reach most of the starch. I just hope that since i didnt boil and i am fermenting on the grain, that i can squeeze some more og before distilling

[@bigboyshobbies5731]

i hope so. I keep a right temperature for long time just to make sure enzymes can reach all starch

[@josephbXIX]

@@bigboyshobbies5731 oh sorry. I was kinda talking to other viewers. I actually used your vid as reference for correcting my mistake! Great video btw!

[@Murlockingqc]

Bro, why is the mash time so long? Is that because corn is harder to process? What about really fine corn meal? Would that also take that long? I've watched a few videos and it's the first time I see such a long process.

[@bigboyshobbies5731]

hello, when its really fine grinded maybe its faster. Normally when i mash barley malt for a beer it takes maximum 60 minutes, but with a corn it takes longer for a good results

[@BobZed]

Is it worth mentioning that distillation is illegal? You can totally make a "corn beer" called Chicha. It comes from South America. To make Chicha, stay pretty close to your recipe and add Philly Sour yeast, because Chicha is a sour beer. No hops.Probably add some water because Chicha is traditionally less than 3% ABV.

[@ansuz444]

I used my spit for the amylase enzyme.

[@Murlockingqc]

Did it work? How much spit ?

[@Murlockingqc]

I know the beer chica de maizo is made with chewed&spitted corn, but I don't think a single spit would add enough enzyme..

Every 100ml got 12gms of Sugar... Total water was 35 litres (35000ml) So 350 part got 12gms sugar means 4200 gms of total Sugar in it... 4.2kgs of Sugar in 35 litres water produce how much litres of Alcohol, and what would be the percentage? One final question is that if my math above is correct then, is just 4.2kgs of Sugar enough for 35 litres??

[@marioadiez]

Buy the sugar at the supermarket, and go on the fladh..

[@NielvanderWath]

35L water to start with. The final fermentation in the bucket is not 35L. And I see his final brix % was 15%, not 12%. But if the final volume was 35L at 12% brix, then you would have potential alcohol of 6.4% ABV, meaning there is 2.24L of absolute alcohol available if you could get all of it. In reality, you would only be able to recover some of it via distillation. But if you could retrieve all the alcohol, you could add 3.36L of water to the spirits and that will give you 5.6L of spirits at 40% ABV.

[@MegaDavyk]

Cracked corn is dirt cheap why would you grind it.

[@jaceanderson6710]

For more surface area with starches I believe.

An OG of 1015!!!???? Seriously???? That is HUGE waste of time mate. The minimum OG for a corn mash would be 1065. Don't be cheap and pour some MORE corn in there lol.

it was measured in Brix or Plato. it means 1.06x SG

If 98% of corn in USA is GMO...and GMO means crops are genetically modified to resist glysophate (weed killer ingredient in Roundup)...and farmers spray corn crops with glysophate...What do you think your drinking when distilling alcohol from corn?

@@bigboyshobbies5731 hes being kinda of a prick. Many words are used. In the case of corn, "gelatinizing" is also used, mashing is mostly used for the whole process and pasting or gelatinizing would be used for the step of cooking the corn
