SECRET Popcorn Sutton’s Cornmeal Mash recipe explained. 

What a slap in the face to a legend..

Boy,.....you sure know how demean a legend. Well done.

Marvin "Popcorn" Sutton avoided a 16 month prison sentence by killing himself via carbon monoxide poisoning 12 years ago today (who wants to die of cancer in the pen?) May he rest in peace. We will continue to carry on his art and remember his legendary life

Calling his self Popcorn rubs me the wrong way.

Whole up rasco, no white sugar, dark sugar, remember it is like molasses, and molasses is made from sugar cane, long live the legend popcorn Sutton, an I still remember JB, popcorn right hand man, watching from Jamaica west Indies !!

Ole popcorn would absolutely love this!!

1. Should have named yourself "JiffyPop" corn Sutton to emphasize the parody. 2. I don't believe Popcorn ever used a specific gravity hydrometer. He did a shake test after distillation to measure proof. How the hell he and other shiners are able to determine the proof from the size of the bubbles and how fast they pop, I'll never understand.

R.i.p. to the legend popcorn

Ok so you got the bare basic idea but forgot a major component amalays the enzyme that is found in malted grains that actually turns the starches in corn ect into sugars so the yeast can eat them and produce alcohol so with this mash you really only have a sugar wash not a true mash

What's the music playing in the background and need to know? Love it.

ok, at first i was like 'this is offensive'.. but it's actually pretty damn funny and entertaing, bc i watched it all 💪

Great video tho I like the scientific explanation. Added it to my likker playlist! Keep it up!

Popcorn was a man among men. His loss was truely a loss of a legendary figure in American history. I read some of the comments and think... How very sad these sacks of shit are. Miss ya popcorn!

Really wish it was his famous multi grain shine

God I’d love to find that poster of pappy Sutton.

Absolutely Not popcorns recipe. He believes in natural wild yeast fermentation

You are making a corn flavoured sugar wash, this is definitely not what Popcorn made. You are better off just fermenting the sugar and throwing some corn into the thumper or still for flavour if a corn flavoured sugar wash is what you are after. Popcorn did add sugar to his grain mixtures but only to boost the ABV not as the entire base of the product.

using self rising and enriched flour?

Awesome video 👌 put this in the downloads for next weeks first batch of mash thank you.

How does the starch in the corn convert to sugar without malted barley or added enzymes?

To my knowledge, Popcorn never used surgery in his receipt

Did you actually know popcorn? Because if not this is outrageous sir!

Every time dude burns his hand and says shit! I start laughing and replay it again.

Far as i was gold why he was called popcorn is in his mix he would use sprouting corn that was popping. But its just dawsonville talk... also using white clay for paste which usally around the limestone spring water you are using.

pure Mockery of a good man.

Well that's a little hot....SHIT......I'm dying here. Almost ruined my computer when I spit my beer all over it.

He will be haunting you forever

When was the malt or amylase added as the yeast won't work right

Nice... But how are you converting your starch from your corn to sugar? Guess its more like a sugar wash with corn water?

How dare some do that to a legendary moonshiner and man thats very disrespectful hopefully someone confronted him about that

Still not a bad video pretty humorous

Popcorn never used a recipe, he tossed in what he thought was right.

Making real shine is tough. As the great popcorn would say, "its harder than a minister's pecker".

Nothing added to breakdown TBE starch in the corn such as malted grain

.045 is a really low starting gravity , at least .080 would get ya around 10% after fermenting .

What was the point of the corn you didn't convert the starch to sugar

Good video but man can't the music wait till the lesson is learned anyway thank you

Need to run that specific gravity up to 1.120 and let it ferment all the way out then run it thru a still.. Higher yielding mash means higher proof off the still

R.I.P popcorn!!

Be Nice everyone. as far as an imitation of Popcorns outfit, and talk, I would have to give him a 4, kinda funny that he used the same language popcorn used everyday. but he even said that this was NOT Popcorns recipe, but its just an imitation of a recipe. Popcorn only told all his moonshine making secrets to only 2 or 3 other people, and they certainly aren't talking about sharing it anytime soon. but as Popcorn always said, the only way you are gonna learn about it is to do it yourself. In the movie he told the ingredients, but not what amount of each. Yellow sweet corn, yellow corn malt, sugar by the 50 pound bag. He did it perfectly. theres your foundation. Go make some and try your hand. Not as easy as you might think.. I would think his friend, and life long companion, J.B. Rader would know also, but he won''t be telling anything either

Stupid question but if your wanting to make 10 gallons i guess you just double the ingredients?

How dare tread on Popcorns great name

You have to cook the corn meal to convert starch to sugar, you can test for starch with Iodine. Cheers

Hey Popcorn - you are looking REALLY good for a guy who's been dead as long as you have. What's your secret for maintaining your healthy, youthful appearance?

All you made was sugar shine, corn meal will settle to the bottom. I know cause I made it in the past.

Well I reckon it's a good beginner's guide. But I would never make it that way

A mash is the process of converting starches to fermentable sugars. Without some malted barley or enzymes you can just save the money from the corn meal by not adding it to this sugar wash, the corn meal isnt doing anything to make any fermentable sugars. Malting grain develops the enzymes (α-amylase, β-amylase) required for modifying the grains' starches into various types of sugar, including monosaccharide glucose, disaccharide maltose, trisaccharide maltotriose, and higher sugars called maltodextrins. A simple recipe from the Master himself: Popcorn Sutton! Author: MoonshineRecipe.org Ingredients 5 lbs of Sugar 4 gallons Filtered Water 2 1/2 lbs of Coarse Ground White Corn Meal 1 small packet Yeast (preferably Distiller's Yeast) 1 gallon of Malt (rye, corn or barley) Equipment - Boiling Pot Fermentation Bucket Airlock Siphon Tube Cheesecloth Moonshine Still Instructions Add 1 gallon of water to the pot and bring it to boil. Add cornmeal and cook, don’t forget to stir occasionally. Remove the heat and let the cornmeal cool down some, then add the remaining water, then mix in the sugar and ground malt. Transfer mixture into the fermenter, let it cool to room temperature then add yeast. Let the mash ferment completely until no visible activity can be detected. Rack the wash off the yeast sediment with a siphon tube into the still's boiler. Distill the wash as normal. Notes Classic Popcorn Sutton mash undergoes open fermentation, so just need to cover the bucket with a cheesecloth and let it ferment. Preferably use a copper pot still for this one in order to keep it true to the way Popcorn Sutton used to do it. Manage the cuts thoroughly, as you’re aiming for the very hearts to get that legendary moonshine flavor. Adjust recipe to size of container. Cornmeal should equal about half or less of container.

Nice experiment? Might work? But not very good?

Haha, nice job! =) It's app-uh-LATCH-un, though---not app-uh-LAYSH-un.

Would like to get back those 2 minutes of my life. Clickbait

Well, shoot! Now I'm wondering if you can get drunk off of eating candy and bread together? Probably not. Otherwise, kids would be tripping over their own feet after eating a PB&J at lunch.

That's more poopcorn Sutton What the hell

Damn all the haters here. It's a friggin' kid's science assignment and parody (as pointed out in the description). The fermentation explanation was fine (points deducted for not covering starch conversion), the parody was... amateurish but good natured. Popcorn says FU. Who'd have thought shiners would have a stick up their ass.

He used white corn not yellow corn.

I know for certain you are not a southerner. We dont call the mountains (Apple-Ā-chins) They're the smoky mountains.

Not real recipe u need to add malt and distillers yeast and less sugar more cornmeal a little sugar fine but add malt and use more corn meal

He did NOT Live most of his life in Tennessee. He lived in Haywood, Co NC FACT !!!

popcorn sed when im gone there wont be inemore moonshine he was rong

It’s not App-uh-lay-shun 🤦🏻‍♂️

popcorn everyvone talk poporn recipe, but wich one? there's 9 million's ones, like he never did twice the same thing lol as mark and dig said

Popcorn used yellow sweet corn, yellow corn malt, sugar and water. Never used yeast

Hey Cornpop, if that's really a "secret" recipe, there's a good reason for it. That's nothing but a hack attempt at UJSSM and Popcorn would have never used anything so laughable.

Just like 90% of the real O.G. moonshiners, PC's recipe has malt not yeast.

Of all the replies none of yuns stated something the man himself said in his video the last run. He had numerous different recipes and none of em were ever put on paper. Even his best friend JD has no damn clue what those were. In all likelihood Popcorn had a general recipe he used and no 2 runs were the same. It's not hard to understand when you've grown up around the life and know that everything you need for a specific recipe isn't always available and you make dew with what you have. Lastly if not for the tv drama series I don't have to name 90% of ya wouldn't have a clue who he was.RIP Popcorn.

Parody np

I know some boys that would turn him into fertilizer over this shit. Lucky internet is a bitch in the mountains.

Who the hell is this guy? I don’t think he’s ever made any liquor

Where’s the still video boi

people cant help themselves they just gotta complain about something in every video.

NONE of this is right!! Popcorn is rolling over at this!

Lmao😂🤣

I guarantee you popcorn didn't use Fleischmann yeast

This is wrong making fun of Mr Sutton this way if you want to do a video don't make fun of people just my opinion

Lost me at appa-laish-un

Every Recipr was Popcorns likk'r. And everyone is gonna come up with popcorn's recipe or not just sayin it is makes it true . Makes a whole bunch of buckets . And have a years worth of self rising corn meal mush .lol and you gotta wear a mop for a beard to be athentic .. and 2 boxes of yeast .. at the end of a week throw away the slop and eat the buckets . Yum Yum 😜 Im just sick n tired of everyones knows Popcorns secrete recipe .. only one maybe 2 JB Rader .. a .25 pounds white corn meal or maze to a gallon water .. 1 lb sugar per gallon water. . After you make your slop in your 5 gallon bucket or 300 gallon slop pot .. your gonna take two packets of yeast you want your water at no warmer than 90 degrese .. when it works off Your fingers will not be sticky that means the yeast has worked off .. remember toss 50 mililiters off the first pint .. that is methonal .acetone it will mess you up ..

did you even try to study and he never had a resupie

Super Super old boy activitys

Really

POP CORN GOT PHAT....😳

I watched your video and I do not believe you are using the proper ingredients, just my opinion.

WRONG WRONG WRONG..... You made what is called Sugar Shine.. Steeping corn in hot water converts it to a starch slurry.. YOU THEN have to convert the starch to glucose (sugar). That is done with Malted grains such as barley or rye or malted corn. You can also use a chemical called Amylase enzyme.. This video basically demonstrated how to make sugar shine with a "hint" of corn flavor. Distilled sugar shine tastes horrid

Popcorn did not use cornmeal.

Doesn't sound like that's gonna make much likker at all

Popcorn didn't measure shit. How do I know? I am from his area

Lol... what turned the cornstarch into sugar? You only make sugar shine. Lmao.

corn meal burn to the boottom of the pot. dont use that.

Thats bullshit theres just a few fellars that has that recipe

Wrong! You must hold at 155 deg F then add a malted grain or Amylase Enzyme to convert the starch in the corn to fermentable sugar. What you are making a corn water flavored sugar wash. Total waste of corn. Prepared cornmeal for baking has additives in is unsuitable. Grind your own.

He never had a exact recipe..

Eh, you all better check your science a little better. All you’re making is sugar shine.

This recipe isn't right bubba. I have it and the triple grain recipe directly from 2 men I won't name who actually ran his recipes.. also Marvin NEVER wrote anything down or did exact math. Please don't put false information about him out. I mean no disrespect but this isn't his recipe. Close but not it

You know he’s full of shit when he starts out saying that popcorn from the Appalachian mountains it’s the great Smoky Mountains they are Bubba

You are just making corn flavored sugar wash... Even popcorn talked about amylase! PS your popcorn don't even know how to pronounce Appalachian O_O

You could have done this without the whole Popcorn gimmick and I must also say it's a tad disrespectful to the man himself...

I feel offended really you never knew pop

Definitely not pop corn

This video is just bad in every way. People still don't film in landscape mode? I thought we worked that out finally 12 years ago.

You're off by a long shot...just saying...

pop skull likker 5 dollars a gallon crap

Please remove this insult.
