Thanks for the video. I appreciate the time you spend making them which probably takes longer than make this mash. I love this method and use it all the time. I add some dry malt extract to the pot to make a Bourbon mash. Two 16oz bottles to every gallon and a half of water. 1 lb of DMA or Malt extract syrup. I use baker’s yeast. If distilling, age it on medium toasted oak chips for about a week then filter and cut to 85 proof. Makes very good “Bourbon”. I place the corn syrup bottles in warm water to get the syrup out easier just like you would do with liquid malt extract when making beer.

You sir are a genius, I'll have to give that a try.

@suoppsdn9751 6 лет назад

Thanks for the video. All you have to do now is add crack corn just for a flavoring agent to add that old corn whiskey taste. It's not necessary but could add some corn flavoring to your mash. Thanks for sharing.

@brettpritchett5762 4 года назад

When would you add the crack corn and when would you take it out? (Asking because I don’t know any of this stuff but really want to get into it!)

@suoppsdn9751 4 года назад

@@brettpritchett5762 Most people don't make true moonshine any more. Most don't use malted corn. They use crack corn thinking heating it will make it produce the sugar needed for formation. True moonshine uses malted corn. When corn sprouts "Malts" It makes the starch turn into the sugars needed for fermenting. Moonshining is illegal so if you want corn whiskey taste go by everclear and soak corn in it for a week. strain out the corn and enjoy the corn whiskey flavor legally lol

@homevalueglass3809 5 лет назад

You're the man! I was just watching a video of a guy Makin honey shine from white sugar and honey and was wondering about using corn syrup, since he was aging with toasted oak and going for a bourbon flavor. Very cool buddy, thanks for the video!

Turbo yeast works even better because it can hot a higher ABV.

@CastBlastCamp 2 года назад

What does it mean if some one has done the following but the product is not making bubbles on the airlock?

@PlattR 2 года назад

It could be a couple of things. If the room is too cold, the yeast will have a tough time getting started. It could be fermenting but the solution is so thick that the CO2 is trapped. Put your ear next to the container and see if you hear any kind of fizzing noise.

@CastBlastCamp 2 года назад

@@PlattR what does it mean at the end of fermentation if there is very very little alcohol content present?

@PlattR 2 года назад

@@CastBlastCamp You might have what's called a "stuck" fermentation. You could pitch in more yeast and that would finish up the fermentation.

@biggordo482 Год назад

.how would adding a few of the grape concentrates found in the freezer section effect this? would I need to remove a bottle of corn syrup?

@PlattR Год назад

It would add more fermentables to the mix and probably bump up the ABV a little bit.

@joe-kf1us 4 года назад

Does it need to stay at a certain temperature.

@PlattR 4 года назад

During fermentation, you'll want to keep it around room temperature 65-75.

How much percentage alcohol at the end?

@PlattR 7 лет назад

I didn't do a measurement on this particular batch but you should get around 7-9% ABV

@troyyarbrough 5 лет назад

@Mike Pitman I think Platt R. is giving you the ABV of the "mash" before distilling. If my calculations are correct, then 5 gallons of mash at 9% ABV would possibly yield 3 quarts of 95 - 100 proof "shine"

@erictaylor4118 6 лет назад

When using a 7 gallon fermenter how much water and corn syrup is needed?

@PlattR 6 лет назад

you want to leave some room up top for when it bubbles up during fermentation. So a 5 gallon batch in a 7 gallon fermenter is fine.

@erictaylor4118 6 лет назад

Platt R. Thanks for your help and your knowledge!

@troyyarbrough 5 лет назад

Did you take a starting gravity of your "mash"? Also, will the final product have a corn flavor?

I did not. This is an older video and I kinda flew by the seat of my pants. I would say the corn flavor was very subtle.
