Re: Simpson’s coffee barley malt
The whiskey is pretty smooth by itself. Good proof and clear. Patiently waiting to try the aged over coffe beans.

Re: Simpson’s coffee barley malt
I have used something similar or it may be the same thing. I have used dark chocolate malt in a mash. It was 4lbs of dark malt with 3lbs of honey malt. The brew had a soft coffee finish as it was sipped. The lighter grain cut the flavor down. The mash had a deep dark color and smelled of coffee whil...

Had anyone ever made apple brandy then used the backset for some rye blend?

It fizzles
I have a product I have been working on for about a year. I cooked up a large batch 5 gallons, biggest I've ever made. On this particular batch I've noticed that every container I have fizzes. Could there have been some left over sugar in the bottom and now it has primed it like a sparkling wine?

How often do you change the wood out when aging in glass jugs?

Re: What'd ya'll make today?
Now I am going to add 2 gallons of the honey shine backset and one gallon of my original backset to my new grain recipe.

Got to hot and puked.
I was running, got 2 good qrts then on the 3rd half full it puked the wash. I shut the rig down. Waiting on it to cool. Do I use that as backset for sour mash or run it again.

What to do with the bad stuff?
What does everyone do with the stuff that tastes bad? Is there a way to run again to get a better taste.

Re: What'd ya'll make today?
Well cross your fingers for me. Just lit the fire for a second attempt at some watermelon brandy. The wine tasted delicious so I'm hoping the finish will as well.

Re: What'd ya'll make today?
Well today I brought roughly 8 or so pounds of corn and 3 or 4 pounds of barley to 190 degrees for about 30 or so minutes drank a few cold ones while waiting for it to gel. Let that cool off and added some amalayse to it. Squished all the stuff out. Need a better idea for that. Sounds like a drinkin...

Re: What'd ya'll make today?
Well good news. I ran it last night got a gallon of nice tasting hooch. Gonna cut it down to 80 proof and age it over apple wood. Should be pretty good.

Re: What'd ya'll make today?
Good news. The new batch is now working away. No foul smells. Hopefully within a week I can run it off and put it over some wood chips to age. Thanks again Hilltop, for the valuable knowledge.

Re: What'd ya'll make today?
I do apologize, you can blame the new guy. I just have found the reply button. Well I cleaned and sanitized and wiped everything down with Clorox. Started over and with any luck it will turn out better this time. Thanks for the help.

Re: What'd ya'll make today?
Copper Do you save your backset and have some available for your next mash? Or if not, some Citric Acid? That particular bacteria that smells like vomit is pretty tough. In plastic barrels it can be a bitch to get out. Heat you some Boiling not hot but Boiling water add some bleach and scrub rinse ...

Re: What'd ya'll make today?
I believe that I have screwed up on a corn mash. I started with roughly 8lbs of steam rolled corn, brought up to 170 degrees then let cool off to 150 threw in roughly 2lbs of steam rolled barley stirred and let cool overnight. The next day I strained and squeezed out the corn and barley mix and got...
