Wow! What a bargain bro. 21 gallons of honey is a small fortune. Honey is expensive here. How well would it go in a Whiskey mash?Tater wrote:just had 21 gallons honey gave to me will have to figure something.

That's a beautiful sight!Jimbo wrote:Put up a terracota tile backsplash in the brewkitchen behind both counter tops. 'linen' colored grout for a nice contrast. You can see my still through the door in the brewroom. The shelves of jars are samples of some of the batches of this and that I made, incl bourbons and whiskeys when they came out of the barrel. Its interesting to taste through different batches side by side and catch differences in recipes and process.
Damn Jimbo, that is the ultimate man cave for sure, it just needs a reloading press or two and some components stacked around. Maybe a couple Rifles on a cleaning cradle....if my Wife ever leaves me, that right there is my Living Room.

1.07 is decent if you get that consistently. Do you have your mash process in a post somewhere, or can you tell us?japsinok wrote:Mashed another 10 gallon/20# bourbon bill (14.4# TSC cracked corn, 3.6#rye, 2# 6-row). They typically finish out at OG just north of 1.07 (I'll know in the morning). Will set up the fermenters in the morning, pending successful OG and iodine, and they should be bubbling away by tomorrow evening.
Tried a taste of Johnny Walker Double Black this last weekend. Our annual family weekend at Lake Mulwala, my wife books a house, it's their Christmas present...Fantastic.thumper123 wrote:I made some scotch. Results have been so so. I bought what I thought to be Simpsons peated malt from Northern Brewers, but got something labeled "British peated malt" instead. I mashed the stuff, lautered it and fermented. It smelled very promising to start, but lost most if not all phenolic flavor after distilling. Disappointed, but it's still a very nice malt whisky. I think I'll stick to bourbon. The ingredients are far less expensive, and the results are fantastic.
