How to make Super Easy Bourbon Recipe part 1 the Mash

[@glleon80517]

Well done, Randy! I tried grocery store cornmeal and it clumped up something awful. My last batch was whole yellow corn coarsely ground and then run through my grain mill, and hi-temp enzymes. I adopted your drain bucket idea from a previous video but have also fermented on grain. I made a second batch the next day from the spent grain and sugar water, which gave me a double batch to distill. This is a great teaching video, thanks.

Thank you so much for your videos! Being a beginner can be daunting sometimes!

[@edscott4029]

1.080 is outstanding

[@stillworksandbrewing]

yes I was happy with that

[@chriskatsou5483]

Great video!

[@1000ferns]

Great video! Wondering though, is this for a 5 Gallon distiller or bigger?

[@petipren]

Is using corn meal the same as using regular corn that has been milled

[@stillworksandbrewing]

yes real close just a little finer

[@OVRCOME]

Cant wait to see this one distilled out. Question.. Do you always ferment off grain. I always like fermenting on grain. I find that I get better flavor that way.

[@stillworksandbrewing]

most of the time i do ferment off grain

[@MrDabush81]

Thank you…I was wondering if I can use corn mill in my mash…

[@danthemann]

Great vid. How many gallons are fermenting?

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Six gallons

[@OutlawSpirits]

What size cooler is that???? Love the channel by the way!

[@stillworksandbrewing]

10 gallon and thanks

[@chopdoc11]

Great vid! Question is what do you do with the wort after pouring in in the bag and letting it drain into the fermentation bucket. Do you spurge it and do you leave the bag of wort in the liquid during fermentation or dispose of it?

[@stillworksandbrewing]

that is a great question yes I sparge it then discard

[@craigimboden9741]

Were the malted wheat and barley crushed at all?

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Yes both were milled

[@fletcherfarmandfleet]

What kind of yeast do you use please?

[@stillworksandbrewing]

DADY yeast

[@fletcherfarmandfleet]

Thanks!

[@tristaneast8625]

How many litres did your wash end up as? Sorry, Aussie here 🤣

[@stillworksandbrewing]

23 liters

[@tristaneast8625]

@stillworksandbrewing thanks legend 🙏

[@VirgilAllen-s2t]

How many gallons are you making

[@stillworksandbrewing]

6 gallons mash

[@tomchristensen2914]

almost impossible to find 6 row or 2 row barley at a good price. I can get flaked barley at my local fed mill, but they dont even know where to get it. seems to be only a brew store is only place. which is expensive. thinking of trying flaked barley

[@stillworksandbrewing]

you can use flaked for taste but it is not malted so it will not have the enzymes in it to convert starches into sugar

[@MikeSchmitz-i1e]

....part 2?

[@stillworksandbrewing]

yes super easy bourbon distillation part2

[@MikeSchmitz-i1e]

@@stillworksandbrewing sorry, I couldn't find it. :-( But I did now! :-)

[@oasismike2]

Iodine advice from HD forums: "Don't drip your iodine anywhere it might get into the mash, and don't let the saccharification sample we tested get back into the mash. Just treat it like poison. And, if it turns the sample brown the conversion's complete, but if it turns black that means there's starch. It's easiest to test just a drizzle on a white porcelain plate, so the color's easy to read and it'll wash off without leaving a stain. Again, be careful with iodine -- if you touch it wash your hands, don't touch your eyes, nose or mouth." And, please, everyone, email your State Senator and House Representative asking them to make home distilling for personal consumption legal. Thx,

I made this recipe and I have to say it was my first “proud to share” success. I had a few other batches that came out ok but I really wasn’t impressed with them
