It goes on the inside of the lid on the groove

Thank you for the information. If you get some 3/8" expanded ptfe, stick it in the groove on the lid, it is leaks, add another layer and offset your seam. It works very well and it handles the environment better than silicone

Your exactly right about the lid gasket. It goes on the pot not the lid for it to seal correctly. The problem is that the Chinese make videos assembling the equipment with people that don't know what they're doing.

doesnt the yeast reaction with carb also create its own heat? i really dont know what im talking about but always learning and always curious

[@timbrackeen3508]

you didnt extract the starch at all?

[@chrislnflorida5192]

This is all I make, Cracked Corn. I'll use a Brew Bag, with this run 8+lbs Corn, 10lb Sugar 7 gal. Water. Ill cook at 165° and I'll extend the time longer then an hour to cook corn. I'll pull the bag, let the was sit over night to cool, put Yeast in, cover with a lid, bring the reading down to 0 or .999 and run. I use to use your receipt 10-10-10, until I found out that the Corn is more for flavor. I have the same Pot but an 8 gal. I found its easier to cook the mash in a Turkey Pot, and leave it in there until ready to run. Dang it, looked for part 2, a No go. Was curious how u strained the grain or if u ran your pot with it in?

[@LarrySbrusch]

Sounds like a good one..Keep'em coming. Appreciate the comment

[@scottgrevelding2174]

If you don't mind me asking, how are you straining your grain? I've watched a ton of videos and still haven't gotten a straight answer.

[@LarrySbrusch]

I do not strain it. I use a small pump with a hose and suck it out until I can just see the top of corn and then I have nothing but liquid that is semi clear

[@scottgrevelding2174]

Newbie here, literally waiting for my still to arrive. I do have a question... With cracked corn I've noticed that some people grind it up and well you don't. Is there a difference. You have one of the best videos out there. You don't assume that your viewers know what your doing so you explain it very, very well. Though I'd say an experienced distiller wouldn't watch all your video but I thank you for your time and help

[@stevensmith516]

Thanks Mr Larry for this video but I must ask isn't this a sugar wash with a corn component. Does it not extend fermentation time?

[@LarrySbrusch]

Yes it is corn and sugar with the yeast and a few other things. It fermented in 16 days

[@everydayden5826]

Yes, you are correct. This is essentially the beginnings of an Uncle Jessie's simple sour mash, though this first fermentation results in a " sweet mash or wash " as there is no souring component in it from a prior run. Soaking the corn at 165 really isn't going to do much outside of wasting propane in this particular case. For a starch conversion in corn to take place the water temp has to be at least 190 and will be kept there for probably at least an hour, 1 1/2 hours would be even better. Also, Alpha amylase enzyme is really topping out at 165 or so, too much higher and it will become ineffective. There are high temp enzymes out there and my buddy who is a professional moonshine and whiskey distiller uses them to keep his mashes workable, as he regularly goes above 3 pounds of corn or grain per gallon of water. The good thing about this recipe is that the yeast is converting the sugar into alcohol ,not the starches from the corn. The corn as you suggest is pretty much for flavor. As far as fermentation time goes, that is dependent on yeast variety, amount thrown, your nutrient and especially the temperature of your wash. This is a very good, almost fool proof recipe for a good tasting spirit, and way easier than cooking your corn for an hour and a half to convert the starches. Good luck and happy distilling ( hypothetically ) --- den

What kind of enzymes are using that don't denature at a 165ﾟ? .I'd be interested to see the results of a starch test.

[@LarrySbrusch]

BSG Amylase enzyme

[@stevealford230]

@@LarrySbrusch he's politely hinting that you killed your enzymes because you added them at 10 degrees too hot... but it didn't matter because before that you didn't gelatinize the corn first (90min at over 190 degrees), so there was nothing for the enzymes to do anyway. That mash was just cane sugar with corn flavoring and all of your alcohol came from the cane sugar only.

[@LarrySbrusch]

@@stevealford230 Yes sir you are correct..Appreciate the comment. Thank You

[@timchapman6702]

[@jasonmontroy9182]

Why do we not want to stir the yeast into mash? I think you did a great job step by step

[@LarrySbrusch]

Yeast should never be disturbed no matter what it is in. Moonshine , bread or other. It slows the working process down

Hey Larry. Is it correct that the cracked corn is sold as animal food? Guess that’s fine to use yes?? Or is there a more clean kind for human consumption?

[@LarrySbrusch]

Most of the time it is for livestock consumption. If you want something that you feel safer with, use corn mill

[@Brambo76]

Thnx

[@puppyqueen6165]

How long did you boil the corn for

[@LarrySbrusch]

I brought the temp of the water up to boil and added the corn. Then let it cook for about another 10 minutes constantly stirring it, to keep it from burning

[@stevealford230]

bro... 1.170... your yeast can't even convert HALF of that level of sugar. And even if you got full conversion, that's a higher gravity than 2lbs per gallon of corn plus 2lbs per gallon of cane sugar... so are you sure that it was 1.170? If so, that mash would have still been sweet after the fermentation stopped, because DADY yeast doesn't have a tolerance of half that potential. Edit: I just started rewatchin and realized the error. It was 1.070... just from the cane sugar, because you didn't get nearly hot enough to gelatinize the corn. So then you wasted the amylase enzymes and didn't get any sugar from the corn, just corn flavor, and you fermented out to about 9%abv from the cane sugar. You need to cook that corn at just below a boil, around 200, for 90 minutes FIRST. Then cool to 150 and add the enzymes and let sit another 90 min or more... then add your cane sugar (but only half of what you used... or use about 25-50% more corn from the start for all-grain), then cool to pitching temp and pitch... for more abv than that batch, but with the alcohol coming from the corn instead of cane sugar.

Hi Larry Enjoyed your video. Thank you. I little constructive criticism if I could. Please don’t feel offended. 1) there is three teaspoons in a tablespoon. 2) why throw away the wash in the hydrometer column?

[@everydayden5826]

I think you either miss-read your hydrometer or miss-spoke when you said your gravity was 1.170 The lovibond tables show cane sugar as 1.046 per pound per gallon. You would be having to use almost 4 pounds of sugar per gallon of water to hit that gravity, and your potential alcohol would be over 22%.

If u didnt add the sugar then u might have had a reading in the .050s just from the Amalese? If u ferment down to 1.000, with the start gravity of .170, my math figures u will have a .22 ABV to run.

I come from a family that shined, I got no problem with the old ways, and no problem with the new ways. Making likker is kinda foolproof. Like this guy using dady yeast and amylase. Ole boy in my family used to throw a bag of corn in a burlap sack and dunk it in the creek. After it grew a sprout about 2-3 inches long he’d pull it out of the creek, knock off the sprouts and mash it. No thermometers for the mash. Hypothetically, if I was to do it, I’d do it a lot more like this feller, because I live in an apartment in the city.
