No Mash No sugar ( YLAY)

[Teddysad]

My recent trials

I used a (Chinese ) Angel Yeast (for liquor making) which comes with included enzymes

This is designed for converting grain to sugar as it ferments so mashing / malting is not required

500ml of corn ground to a meal, soaked in 2 litres of hot water for 10 minutes.

All added to 5l demijohn and topped to 4.5 litres with cool water.

1g (yes 1 gram) of the Angel Yeast rehydrated in warm water for 10 minutes.

Demi temp was at 30C and yeast added. Airlock installed .

Following on from this I tried
1 500g white Rice and 1g yeast in water
2 200g barley, 200g rye and 100g crushed weetbix 2g yeast
The ferment:

AFter racking off from the grain I was left with about 3.5l of liquid which I let settle for a couple of days
and the strip run

Produced 400ml at 20% abv with a great smell and taste (for low wines)

No added sugar no mashing. no malting It is alive and it works.

Now to scale up. both the above were light on grain .
