Re: HOW TO STRAIN MASH
I tried a sediment filter cartridge, once. With the mash in a corny keg under CO2 pressure. I figured Id push it through the sediment filter to clear it up. Not so much, total catastrophy, instant clog and no movement. Live and learn I guess.

Re: Firecracker Bourbon
Great post MCH. What temp did you kiln the corn at? Are you counting on some enzymes from the corn malt, or leaving it to the malted wheat to do that bit fer ya?

Re: Mash abv?
I saw Jimbo’s post about new distillers wanting to push abv’s. He says a mash should produce 6-8%. Ive since modified my opinion on this. I do 10% mashes now for bourbons as Ive found with a clean yeast, and a slow (cool) ferment and healthy mash the result is the same as 6-8% mashes. I would recom...

Re: Jimbo's easy 1/2barrel Wheated Bourbon and Gumballhead
Hey guys, sounds good, congrats on your runs. I've been getting low on bourbon stocks until this new barrel is ready next year, so I started diluting my bourbon maybe 60/40 with the gumball (2013 batch) and its really nice. Nothing at all seems unbourbonlike about it. The other livers that help me f...

Re: Jimbo's Wheat Flour AG Experiment
Thanks Jimbo for the idea! I'm tempted to drink this white it's so good. The idea of all grain without the fuss of squeezing is great. The only downside is disposal of the slurry. I don't have access to a place to dump it outside and fear plumbing issues if I dump too much down the sewer. When Wind...

Re: Jimbo's Single Malt AG Recipe
Had great luck with this using Malted Barley. Started the ferment at 1.060 sg, and was complete in 5 days. I just got some malted red wheat to try next and ran mostly the same process yesterday per the directions. All seemed to go fine, and looked right. But when I checked the sg after pitching the...

Re: take off rates
On my last run 2 weekends ago I got my 3 plate fired up with a 25G tank almost full, 2 elements dialed back to 3500W each (7000W total) and a decent defleg flow. Plenty of reflux happening, and all plates fully loaded. Seemed like the quart jars were filling fast, so I timed one at 8.5 minutes, holy...

Shit! I think I will be adding some bitter almond oil to my wash, and more in thump charge. na, I wouldnt worry about it. Not sure the almonds make that big of difference?

ok so maybe not 12 trillion pits. Sounds like about 3200 pits by MCH's math.

Re: Kirschwasser (cherry eau de vie)
Hey! Watch who youre calling an OOOOOLD ass!
5g of cherry wash is about 12 trillion pits when I attack the cherry tree. So I wouldnt worry about 'over pitting' it, if that's your concern.

Juniper, that's a fantastic ferment, all the way dry. Congrats. The big sleep will be worth it, leave your mitts off it. 5L wont be able to handle 'big' sleep tho so be careful.

BTW if you add non malted grains to an otherwise all malt recipe, like I did below, just follow the bourbon protocol (see in my sig). Bring water to a boil, put it over the non malted grain and stir well periodically while the temp slowly drops to strike temp for the malt. Here's a calculator for st...

Re: Jimbo's Single Malt AG Recipe
RYE! Did up this recipe again today but with rye. Mashed up 50 lbs of Rye malt with 10 lbs of oats to add a little smoothness to the spice. OK its not a single malt any more with the oats in there but who's counting. This will go in one of my used 5g barrels for as long as I can keep my mitts off it.
