I vote yes.

I don't have a thumper. I strip three times and do a spirit run.

Unmalted wheat is Red winter wheat crops,the malted wheat is white wheat Rahar brand!

Thanks! I'm putting this on the to do list.

Is the wheat white or red?

Last weekend I did the first spirit run of this recipe. 9 gallons of 70 proof went in and I collected 3 gallons total after cuts. I let it air out for a few days and I haven't decided yet how to finish it. How is the final cut ratio compared to others running this recipe? This recipe didn't disappoi...

I make this frequently. One thing I've been doing is saving the squeezed ginger and cloves. After I squeeze everything, I put the ginger and cloves into a jar of 150 proof and let it sit. When I'm ready to make this recipe again, I use this 150 proof mixture. I also use this as a base for a medicina...

This was the one variation to your original recipe that I did out of habit since I use both high temp enzymes. I didn't realize it until I read your post.

I bought enough honey malt to do a half a bag of the other malts. I was going to find a different recipe to use the other 25 lbs of malts. After doing my first stripping run, I know what recipe I'm going to use the grains on. More Honey Bear Bourbon!!! I've done my fair share of AG's lately and this...

Sorry I miss read the 3 lbs of honey - should only post sober

OVZ

It's all good OVZ. I didn't take it the wrong way.

I add both of the high temp enzymes as insurance but other than that, I mash exactly the way SCD described.

5 lbs of white wheat malt, red wheat malt and pale ale malt. 3 lbs of honey malt.

I ground the grains today. 25 lbs corn, 5 lbs each of the malts except for 3 lbs of the honey malt. I just sprinkled 3 packs of Prestige WD yeast on top. I used both enzymes, Alpha and gluco. This is my first time using any of these malts. I've used malt barley and rye up until now. This is easily t...

I just ordered the malts to do multiple batches. I've been intrigued by this recipe for a while. I've finally got other ferments out of the way to give this a shot.

I did 2 spirit runs on 100 lbs of panela. I ended up keeping approximately 6.5 gallons @ 120 proof average, after cuts. Ive got one gallon on Pugi's suggestion of pineapple, cloves and raisins. I also have a gallon on medium plus french oak and a gallon on Hungarian oak. The rest is still white unti...

I just did a stripping run on this recipe,12.5 #'s of each grain: Corn, rice, oats and 2 row malt barley. I started another ferment yesterday. I stole a sip during the stripping run and it tasted good. I still need to do more batches before I do a spirit run but it seems promising. I've been curios ...

That's possible. I have been using this for about 6 months and wash it between different types of ferments. I may have missed something along the way.

I made an AG yesterday of 12.5 lbs each of corn, oats, rice and malt barley. I used high temp enzymes and added malt barley and gluco enzymes around 150f. I put everything into a 32 gallon brute and waited overnight for the temperature to drop low enough to pitch US 05. I woke up this morning to a t...

After following this thread I bought 100#'s of panela. I couldn't be happier with the results! Great stuff.

32lbs cracked corn, 8lbs oats, 8 lbs malt barley, 8 lbs malt rye. Steep cooked the ground cracked corn and oats, added alpha. I used Sebstar enzymes. Added the gluco and malt barley at 153f. 24 gallons of water total. It all went into a 32 gallon Brute trash can. Racked it off yesterday.

Spirit run on my AG sweet feed.

I use them frequently. After the first use, I let them air dry. After I collect enough of them, I put them in the toaster oven and retoast. After the second use, I char them with a torch. Three uses per stick is as far as I have used them. I use 4" per gallon.

I just made a batch of this, damn fine drink! I'll be making more. I had some ginger macerating for months just waiting on something, I found it.

I'm on a quest to make Soju. I just started the boiler on 5 gallons of makgeolli I made from 15lbs of Nishiki sushi rice and 3lbs of Nuruk. I'm also going to do an URRV as well.

I will take better notes when I do the all sweet potato next time and share the results.

MC, My first experiment was a rice and sweet potato combination. I recently bought a small grain mill and ground 10lbs of extra long grain rice. I bought 5lbs of sweet potatoes. I washed and sliced them into small pieces. I then added the small pieces and some water into a blender and blended them r...

Thanks for the welcome. S-Cack, I have read all of those threads. I'm enjoying the Booners casual all corn and the liquid enzymes. I'm experimenting with the enzymes and sweet potatoes and the sweet potato flavor carry over is awesome. My favorite sugar head is the sweet feed in the tried and true. ...

I've been reading the forums and the homesite for over a year. I have a 5 gallon Alembic that I've ran many batches from the tried and true. I'm into all grain now and enjoying that process.
