Fresh Corn Corn Liquor part 2 "Fermentation and Distillation"

[@scottmcneill6333]

Out of all the corn runs I have done, the fresh corn came out with the best flavor in my opinion. Great job Randy!

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jonbilodeau2254]

Wait, why degass a mash? I thought that was only for wine. (I saw your wine gear in the background). Wouldn’t heating it drive out the gas anyway

[@bethsavoie9493]

i really apricate your videos. t learn a lot from them.

[@kevin_ninja_jones2363]

Can you use canned Corn I am just curious. The corn I have says it has corn water and salt in it

[@stillworksandbrewing]

I have never tried can corn but have done frozen corn turned out good

[@PaulSmith-tf9bn]

Just curious, are you running a reflux or just a sight glass a some copper in the column. Great video, going to number 3.

[@stillworksandbrewing]

sight glass two rolls of copper mesh in column

[@mikew.1902]

Great idea! Never thought of using part of a run and leaving it as a White Dog for sipping. Usually I age it all, but with this past weekends run I may just leave some of it as a White Dog. Have you thought of trying any Bloody Butcher corn? It has an interesting flavor and a bitterness that I did not expect.

[@stillworksandbrewing]

one day ill have to get my hands on some bloody butcher corn

[@OVRCOME]

Love it!

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Thanks!!

[@sjedi5646]

Great video 👍🏻 i really like your tutorials. One thing though can i recommend a blue labs ph pen I've been threw the Gambit with ph pens and have found the only consistently reading and easiest to calibrate is the blue labs pens by far you should check them out 👍🏻

[@stillworksandbrewing]

have to check out thanks

[@jimmelton7299]

Did you scrap the milk off the cobs?

[@stillworksandbrewing]

no and their is a reason for that will let you know later time cheers

[@nortonshop1742]

It’s going to be interesting to see what you do with those cobs. Hoping to see that soon.

[@777Dorado]

Nice....but I never have to collect more than 100ml of foreshots in any Mash blend.

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Fair enough!

[@clwood]

@1:23: What's the purpose of acidifying to 5.4 before pitching yeast?

[@stillworksandbrewing]

5.2 -5.4 is a happy place for yeast

[@williamcahill617]

Can I ask what is your rig

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Mile high distilling

[@dannylee9138]

I think a 2 year soak on good oak barrel chips and it will be awsome

[@edwardhershberger6267]

From what've gathered oak chips for 2 years would probably over oak it,because theres more surface area on chips than say a barrel would have

[@stillworksandbrewing]

noted

[@georgemaida387]

⁠@@edwardhershberger6267what is your opinion on chips??

[@stillworksandbrewing]

I have and still will use chips they work great but you need to taste test often then when you get the wood taste you are looking for strain them out and bottle put up on shelf and continue to age

[@edwardhershberger6267]

@@georgemaida387 I like them,the only thing I age with righ now. I just toasted some more yesterday! I need to try spirals or staves next and broaden my horizons lol

[@Sylvanas72]

If you not making a mess, you aren't working.

[@stillworksandbrewing]

then i must work alot lol

[@andrewf2630]

If I were you I would look up how manufactured citric acid is made, it is impossible to entirely separate the black mold from which the citric acid is made. It sounds harmless though right? Citric acid, u guess it comes from citrus like I did, but its not at all , it is a commercial product almost entirely manufactured in China, and comes from mold, black mold, it's not safe , like many fda approved products aren't, it's never been tested , buy because of its chemical structure (regardless of its source and contamination never being tested by the fda) being identical to citric acid from citrus, the fda considers it GRAS. Also FYI organic produce is not tested for synthetic petroleum based fertilizer residue , or it's heavy metal ingredients are not tested, that goes for conventional and organic corn , all produce, and why I'm growing 1/4 acre of own corn and here try learn more about the distillation process. Thanks

[@stillworksandbrewing]

cheers
