Re: Whiskey or bourbon liqueur
I’ve done quite a few Glayva style liqueurs using mead dregs and various whiskeys and honeys. Most were successful. My daughter likes UJSSM and honey, but I’m not a fan of it. Any liqueur made with honey is difficult to get clear so I don’t put much effort into clearing them. If anything does settl...

For those of you making mezcal / tequila...

Re: Best Top Shelf Vodka Recipe ?
wheat is a good choice. it's pretty bland and its cheap. if you don't have a tall reflux, your gonna have to wash it down by redistilling with fresh water until it's clean. maybe 2 or 3 spirit runs. then carbon filter it with activated charcoal then dilute with good RO water.

Re: Stuck fermentation
It wouldn't hurt to adjust the ph and see if it fires back up with some yeast. Like HDNB said, next time test your ph and adjust your starting ph to around 5.5 with Citric Acid is always a good start. Your ph may not ever crash if you do that. if you are using HTL, you need to be 6-6.2 when you int...

Re: Stuck fermentation
summary: you're done. want to try and avoid this next time? pay attention to PH during mash, i use 6.2 for dough in, which is where my water comes in at anyway. i use some citric acid at mash in temps (before enzymes) to get PH 5.5 i have had much, much more success avoiding bacterial ph stalls by u...

Re: Stuck fermentation
i think you're done. either a bad mash with unfermentable sugars (hence the sweet taste) or a bacterial/ph stall for the record, i have never successfully saved a ph stall. just ran and got what i got. temperature stalls i have come back from, with some heat. if you think your msh was perfectly exe...

Re: Looking for a good and easy Whiskey recipe
I think using LME is the easiest and most fail-safe whiskey recipe. The ingredient's are warm water, Liquid malt extract and yeast. Pour the extract into the fermenter, use the warm water to shake and rinse out the jug. Dilute the LME to OG 1.060 - 1.050 and 80'f Sprinkel the yeast on top and cover...
