So I absolutely love geeking out and doing things the tough way just for the love of it. But every now and then I just really REALLY want to get a result as easily as possible, I am sure you feel the same!
Thats where Liquid Malt Extract (LME) comes in to play.
What is LME? Well, basically some kick-ass brewer has already made a killer all grain mash for you. Seeing as it would be impractical to ship the whole thing it is reduced down to a thick gooey liquid the consistency of molasses.
To make a wash from it all you need to do is mix it with water, hit your volume and temperature then pitch yeast. While this is really simple I have a few tips and tricks that will make it a little faster and easier for you.
Once it is fermented out as dry as it will go I suggest distilling it with a pop still before making cuts and ageing it on oak.
The Recipe I used here:
3x 1.8kg Amber Malt Liquid Malt Extract
2x US-05 yeast
25 l of water
Pot still and cut by flavour then age with US white oak that has been used for a corn whiskey of some description.

@dirtyblond2332 5 лет назад
Jessie, should have just done a true all grain. 7.5% is about 13 pounds of grain at about $1.00 a pound. Say $16.00 total with a packet of US05. (No need for a second pack of yeast here). I'd go, 10 pounds of 2 row, 2.5 of maybe Munich or Vienna, and half a pound of crystal 40 or 60. Many if not most of us started by doing crafts beer, before we got into making lawnmower fuel. ;) For those that haven't brewed beer before, LME takes the learning curve out of it as the sugars are already extracted, but honestly, keeping a BIAB at 154 for half an hour saves you $50 a batch and you learn another skill set.
@StillIt
@StillIt 5 лет назад
Agreed, I used BIAB about 80% of the time making beer. Honestly I will probably only us it going forward (yeah I'll do beer again some time haha). The point was just to show how easy and un imposing it is for those that have not done it before.
@StillIt
@StillIt 5 лет назад
Sorry, just saw the yeast part. Yeah perhaps it's Overkill. But I tend to follow the Mr malty calculator. Even assuming really good viability (which I often question in New Zealand) one 11.5g packet tops out at right around 1.050 (assuming a 5.5g batch). So I over pitched for sure, but I would rather over pitch than under pitch.
@dirtyblond2332
@dirtyblond2332 5 лет назад
@@StillIt - I'm a fan of Brewersfriend.com calculator and recipe builder and use it almost exclusively, check it out if you haven't already. With US05, I've hit my FG with a single packet up to 1.074 every time. I don't build starters or direct pitch. Both can shock the cell membrane and result in 40-50% cell loss. Instead, I add a packet to 1/2 cup (boiled and cooled) water, wait 20 minutes, and dump it in. The lack of sugar in the water allows the cell membranes to rehydrate without shock, and achieves near 100% cell success rate. I completely understand overpitching, but when I would do that years ago, I often found a more yeasty note, even after clarifying gelatin and cold crashing for a few weeks. Some beers taste better with a slight yeasty note, but Blonds, Pales, and Amber's just taste a bit off.

It’s a few years since I ran a still, 1976 in fact when I worked in Saudi Arabia. There, we produced Sidiki (or some similar spelling) which translated to ‘old friend’. We started with sugar, water and yeast which was fermented and then distilled through 4 runs to 180% alcohol. Yield was around 10% by volume. We drank it cut 50/50 with water then consumed Pepsi or lemonade. Some we made into liquors, gin or whiskey, we called that brown. Ageing it with charred white oak for up to a year. Tasted as you said more like bourbon or Irish rather than scotch. We were careful about what was collected at each end of a run to leave out fusel oils and menthol alcohol and tested purity by heating a teaspoon full and noting the colour of the flame, which had to be pure blue with no yellow showing. Anyway, that took me back but take care with whatever you produce, it has a way of creeping up on you. Regards.

I saw a video recently where a guy was using an ultrasonic cleaner (the sort of thing you'd put jewelry in to clean it) to rapidly "age" spirits. He used vodka which was slightly disappointing. I was wondering: • If you could use off the shelf low hopped beer (Something like DB Export?) to make a whiskey. • If you could then age it using the ultrasonic aging technique to turn it into something complex with instant gratification. • If it works for off the shelf beer, how would it be with cheap supermarket (Coopers or Millers) homebrew starter kits?
@craig.n.gaylene
@craig.n.gaylene 4 года назад
I wouldn't use ultrasonic ageing - you can't accelerate time and that's what good spirits have in spades. All those chemical reactions over time that round out a spirit can't be accelerated. As for low hopped beer, I've distilled an Oatmeal Stout to give a nice Irish style whiskey, and it's good. Really good.

To speed up the wood flavor uptake, i have been using a keg (with wood in it), and pressurizing up to 120psi for 8 hours, then releasing pressure for 8, then pressurizing again..... etc for 6- 8 cycles. Comes out nice and dark, far better than i was getting with hot/cold method. If my fridge was big enough, i would also try using hot/cold along with pressure(high pressure while cold, low while warm). For wood i got some 2" diameter English oak branches, cut into lengths, and left to dry for a year. Once debarked, i ran a skill saw along there lengths, making 4 deep cuts, then charred them well. Sometimes i also add a little jack Daniel's barrel wood chips(also charred) as well. This time around, i am doing a mostly corn(first time trying), and grains wash,(including crystal malt, heavy peat, and just a little manuka smoked)+ sugar(raw) - my favorite whiskeys are Islay heavy peat ones. 2 x 55lt washes are almost ready to run, and have a light smoky taste at this point.

@@КуртВассерман-т3к Try it, is is very effective, air works fine, as does co2 or even nitrogen, as all you are doing, is pushing liquid into the items in the the tank with the pressure, and then letting that pressure off causes a flow back out. Yes, agree - a vacuum cycle would do the same thing, but not sure how you would use it, without sucking a lot of alcohol content out as well. Had to laugh last night, watching "moonshiners" latest episode, (s11 ep12) where they use an identical tank to mine, like they invented the idea, with first nitrogen, then co2 to push product into pears, for a quick flavor transfer. Been thinking of using air as usual (which is 78% nitrogen), but doing it on the beach, in a heavy sea fog, to see if some flavor could be added that way (like moonshiners" diggers" sea aging method, but vastly quicker). ps, lately use much shorter pressure/release cycles. Agree i should reduce or eliminate all sugar for a batch, just to compare, but sugar is cheap, and gives around 1 liter of product per kg used(@40%abv), so makes the much dearer grains go further.

Definitly yes to the higher OG. That is not nescesarily a good thing. I like the 8-10% range for whiskey. Best flavour, consistency, yield ballance IMO.

Combine the low wines from each stripping run and pop them back into the still for a stripping run.

It depends on the product I am running. If its a lower ABV wash then just running slower may not get you a high enough ABV (with a straight pot still). On the other hand its a great way to make a larger wash fit into your still. 75L was but only have a 50L still? Strip 40L of it first, add it back to the 35L and put it all into the pot.

@@StillIt A first run through a pot still will always smear throughout the run and taking off slowly will not change that. There are hidden dangers in your collection jars like Ethyl Carbamate (which is 90%+ left behind in the boiler after a second distillation). The Scots and the Irish aren't known for throwing money away. If they could get away with it, they'd be doing it just like you have. In fact you'll be hard pressed to find any commercial distillery on the planet boasting about doing a single run pot still anything... For good reason.

Hi, I'm new to the channel and new to the spirits world. One of the doubts I have is related to diluting the final product to achieve the desired ABV. Should this be done with distilled water? And if so, are distilled water (purchased or produced) all the same or should we be careful with the water we use? Thanks a lot, and kudos for all your work and shares!
@StillIt
@StillIt 3 года назад
How's it going Joao, welcome to the craft mate. You definitely don't need to go full distilled water. But you can if you want. Different water profiles are going to add slightly different characteristics to the spirit when used for proofing. Generally if the water tastes good to drink by itself your 95% there. That last little bit is going to be preference and probably differently suitred based on the type of spirit you are making. If your not sure what water to use for a specific spirit you can always set up little tinctures. Put say 20ml of water into a cup, proof it down with water "A" . . . do it again with water "B" etc. which one tastes beest? Or can you even tell the difference?

Jesse, I can't agree with you more about the difference in flavor from a week on oak to months on oak. I made a sweetfeed whisky a few years ago (my first one) and I was very disappointed in the immediate flavor. I oaked it like you did in this video with just #2 pieces of charred white oak. It sat in a closet for almost a year and what a difference. Thanks...

Down here in the southern US we just drink it white.......when you start getting wood involved you get more impurities and possibilities for weirdness. Good corn whiskey will stand up on it's own without wood. I guess that's the theory behind the pure vodkas lately.

@@StillIt true......it's a cool hobby. We always had old time moonshiners in our families....so that's my only experience....our people's stuff was always illegal. It just seems to Me that if you can get that much color in that short of a time with only a small amount of wood that the additives are really concentrated and it would be difficult to know when it's going too harsh. Could you hold back part and age the other then mix it if you got too many tannins? Cask aging is what they do around here....Jack Daniels and George Dickel are just up the road an hour or so away and Kentucky is maybe 3 hr drive. White Oak barrels I think. I'm in Southeast Tennessee. You might be able to get a version of malt by sprouting and regrinding. That would be slower but much much cheaper.....that's the old way with corn.

I make my own wines and in the past have rendered them down to brandies with decent results. Once I distilled about 6 gallons down to a bit better than 2 half gallon jugs. I think my hat still has a hole in it from the effects of the testing and I learned that things could be taken a bit too far. This method shows promise and I'll let you know how an experiment I have in mind comes out, if in fact it does. If not, these pigs are gonna be high AF and the bacon will be gourmet quality on the proviso that it doesn't fry itself.
