Hbb/caramel sugar wash
Made a really interesting spirit this wknd, two wknds ago I ran off a honey bear bourbon run. Turned out great and it's aging now, I saved the grains, and in a clean 12 gal fermenter added 1 lb of Chrystal caramel 120l - 4 lbs of dark brown sugar and 4 lbs white sugar. I filled up fermenter with hot backset from hbb run. Pitched with bakers yeast. Starting og was 1.075. I ran it Friday nite n it is very nice- im getting better but it's still hard for me to tell quality right outta the spout. I've learned that even a cpl weeks age makes a huuuuge difference. Stuff I thought that was rough turns out great over a months time. Anyway this stuff is pretty good right out the spout. I proofed a test cup down to 100 proof and it has a really good sweet raisin aroma and taste. And no sugar bite. Really like it so far.

Sounds delicious. Suddenly, my sugar head on HBB w/oats seems inadequate.

The grass is always greener! Don't underestimate your prowess or power of HBB ... especially with oats.OtisT wrote:Sounds delicious. Suddenly, my sugar head on HBB w/oats seems inadequate.
