Thanks Randy, another information packed video. You covered all the basics for distilling a great run of corn liquor. I glad you put those cobs to good use, what a windfall. Keep up the great work, always enjoy your content.

[@donniepowell7146]

I’ve watched every video you’ve made and some other KZbinrs, I never get tired of watching a still run.

cheers my friend

As always Great information, Great attitude, I also run a Mile High 8 gallon, Electric, But I upgraded to the 3" Copper Torpedo Pro, Love the versatility of it, Last fall I copied your Rum almost to the letter, I added a # Quick oats.. Wow what a mouth feel... Keep up the great job, So many learn from you including Myself!

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Very nice! how do you like the 3 inch do you think it is faster? to be honest i love to help people in the hobby it is fun to me and i hope i can help cheers my friend

[@terrybaldwin1182]

@@stillworksandbrewing Love the 3 " , I pack it full of copper mesh, A low and slow run takes up to 12 hrs, Depending on how low of a proof I collect, 5 - 7 is about the norm, Fast and hot stripping runs 4- 5 hrs. All times include heat up.. As always, Keep up the great work...

[@markcilli9321]

Please get a bigger proofing jar, watching you proof gives me PTSD 😂😂😂😂 Absolutely love the channel, just started binging from the start again 🤙

[@stillworksandbrewing]

thanks so much cheers

[@mikew.1902]

Run the same set up, just haven't converted to electric yet, but it will happen. Love the flexibility. Works well for me. Really enjoyed your comparison of your two products. I agree ......put it on some oak.

[@stillworksandbrewing]

I run propane and electric when I get to temp I turn gas off finish with electric only have 120 volts in shed it works well. Cheers Mike

[@ericfields1950]

Hey Randy I’m new to the hobby,thanks to you I’m hooked. I recently ordered my first still,all copper with thumper and warm. Am I going to have a problem running a rum with this setup?

[@stillworksandbrewing]

have fun with it

[@StillFunBrewing]

Pretty fun experiment. From your explanation the two whiskeys seem similar with the corn cob being more muted and less creamy. More like a sugar head but still unmistakably corn liquor. Do you think there are any other significant differences? Does the corn cob liquor bring anything new or different to the table vs your fresh corn liquor?

[@stillworksandbrewing]

in todays world we need to stretch the dollar both taste great would like to age some on oak and some will be used in different flavored moonshine projects i thinking that corn cob will except flavoring a little better will we see cheers

[@OutlawSpirits]

I use stainless steel as well. In fact, I just ordered a couple stainless steel bubble plates for my column still.

[@stillworksandbrewing]

so cool

[@Rubberduck-tx2bh]

Hey Randy, I played poker with my buddies this past Fri. The host had some Knob Creek Smoked Maple, and it was PHENOMENAL!!! I was thinking that a combination of charred white oak, toasted sugar maple, & smoked hickory in the aging would get a corn-based whiskey close to that flavor??? Might be a good project for your Sweet Corn & Corn Cob finished product?

[@stillworksandbrewing]

you gave me some ideas thanks i always need them got a good idea hope you will like it will be in near future

[@timchapman6702]

It’s very possible that the age on the fresh corn explains the difference. It would be nice to test again after the corn cob has had a chance to age.

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Could be they both taste good I will have to let you know I do like corn liquor

[@timchapman6702]

@@stillworksandbrewing I do as well, my friend that stuff looked awesome

[@rickfickes4954]

That’s what I use my reflux still is the bomb lol I use bubble plates for vodka and Bourbon it’s worth the money

[@stillworksandbrewing]

be careful with bubble plates and bourbon dont strip all flavor

[@chrislnflorida5192]

What was your starting proof before Tempering, had to be in the 170s. U added 3/4 gallon +- water to bring down to 100pr. For 6 gal Mash = 1.5 gal , the proof dropping maybe down to 80pr, that some High proof? Did u add Sugar to yhe Fresh Corn?

[@stillworksandbrewing]

no added 3 pints bottled water

[@timchapman6702]

Hey big Randy , I’ve been waiting on this one. I was wondering how it would come out.

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Hope you like it!

[@ScottBryant-wi7gb]

I love my SS pot. I do not see me switching anytime soon.

[@stillworksandbrewing]

I heard that

[@michaeldeal3868]

Didn't spill a drop! Is that you Randy?

[@stillworksandbrewing]

got lucky lol

[@dbomber69]

I have a recipe for you to try! For your corn use popcorn instead of the corn you usually use. And pop it first. Then process it into a flour. It's cooked so the starch is gelatinized so the yeast should be able to use it and you should be able to use less corn since it's getting digested pretty much 100%. I want to know what the flavor is like. I hear on Moonshiners always talking about making sure the corn flavor comes through. If it works like I think it will it should be very corny. Maybe even a roasted flavor.

[@stillworksandbrewing]

that sounds interesting i put on idea list thats where i keep idels that i want to try thanks cheers

[@JohnDoe-es5xh]

I thought, destilling is forbidden in the US. Anyway, cheers!

[@stillworksandbrewing]

don't tell anybody

[@tonysmith8779]

I don't think you should add water atleast I don't you can always do that when you make your own drink leave it alone until then

[@stillworksandbrewing]

I like to proof down to my liking before I bottle that’s just the way I do it cheers
