Excellent. Found this thread looking for a rye recipe. Think I am going try it. I have never done an AG without malted barley before so that will be different. At first I was appalled at the mop bucket mash tub, then I realized its potential as a strainer. Genius idea. What's the preference for ferm...

The recipe above calls for 2 emzymes. The first a high temp alpha amylase. Used during or after cooking the unmalted grains. The second a low temp gluco amylase used after mashing in the malted rye. This is a 6 gallon mash so just follow instructions for each emzyme. Probably 1 tsp for powdered or 5...

Hello all. Hope my title gets the attention of some of you corn pervs. I have bin working on an all corn recipe for awhile and I am almost ready to take plunge but I need a push. About a month ago I hand picked three five gal buckets of corn cobs, dehusked by hand 1 bucket of kernels and began malti...

Ga day bud! to bad we can't talk over some tim bits. I have lots of stilling time with sugar washes, but little experience with all grain mashes. Good luck and prepare for your life to change. There is no better sight/feeling than the first drop of liquor out of your worm/condenser. Just don 't drin...

Strip and spiritrun with a pot, i assume..? I strip ran the first wash to get the backset, then hooked up my doubler for the following runs. Saved the hearts and ran the heads and tails through the next run. I was really just wanting to practice making "cuts" and watching temps as I ran. ...

Thanks to this great site I was able to make this wounderful product. This is 3rd gen UJSSM, Aged three cycles in the mic with charred white oak. I aged it at 60% abv then watered down to 40% with distilled water. Damm it's good! I did this on the side while working on malting some corn for an all g...

Hello, welcome friend. English is not your first language EH! Well you wrote your welcome better then I could. Probably faster with less spell checks to. The search for all grain "corn in my case" is also what brought me here to HD recently. All the info is a little overwhelming at first, ...

I definitely prefer night runs. Not always possible but I like sitting in the dark with just a small light. kids are in bed and wife can't complain that I should be doing something else. Saturday nights are best because local radio station plays old time country music. Opening theme song happens to ...

The real corn recipe? Water, corn, malt and yeast. (had to give a smartass reply considering the forum we are on :moresarcasm: ) How/ what amounts you add and what you do to combine those ingredients is the magic! :think: Thats ok Worm Drippinz. I know this is not a"how to" thread but a w...

Hello Michigan Corn husker. I was just reading your thread on malting and drying. I am thinking about placing my corn on top of my wood boiler and maybe blow a little air over it with a Small fan. Air temp is some where between 70-80f. As for the yeast, I will add after mashing. I know little to zer...

:sarcasm: To make snow malt whiskey, you must wrench the kernels from the cob, lovingly malt the corn in small batches by hand, wait for a brilliant Michigan snow storm, and harvest the snow by moonlight, melt it, and use it to make a nectar worthy of the Gods. A simple stripped down recipe, corn m...

Thanks for the welcome guys. Like I said I spend alot time on here lately. I start reading one thing and end up an hour later learning about something completely different. It is a little overwhelming by times! A few things a have learned on my quest is that there is no one answer to what real corn ...
