Little or nothing to do with distillation.

What do you make most often?

Post by MountedGoat »

I really don't have much experience outside of fruit washes and was just wondering what everyone else kinda specializes in?
water + sugar + yeast = wine

water + flour + yeast = bread

wine + bread = two things I can make at home

UJSM, is a staple, i have a 70l feremnter ticking away slowly with ujsm corn and malt barley at all times.
Often do other ujsm's too, with say wheat, barley and malt for the scotch lovers or some such.


Other than that i tend to do cycles of stuff. I'll do fruit for a month or two till i build some stocks up, at the moment it's rum but i've nearly got enough to last me a while now. I'll be starting a sugar wash cycle (i haven't tried plain sugar yet). And about to start some allgrain back up again, it'll be barley and malt barley to start with.

UJSM rolling along most times. Working on my straight corn when I have the time.

Light-medium rum is becoming my staple.

A nice bourbon is my ultimate goal. I've been running UJSM for the past few months getting the kinks worked out of my process, but have started working on malting a batch of barley so I can get back to work on the all grain whiskeys. I've also run a couple batchs of apple brandy, but that's more of a seasonal thing.

UJSM is the most frequent. I'm wanting to get started on more all grain mashes. I've never made a rum, so that is also on the list. I seldom run any neutral at all.

All grain wheat as per this., although I'm going to try to do Dunder's boil-steep-boil method (no sparge) to see if I can get better yields.

Variants of DWWG and several other cereal based sugar washes... Would love to do grain mashes at some point, when I have space for a full blown tinkering area...

UJSM without the sour part! :lol: When I'm finished fermenting I let it set for a month sometimes before I run it off. Then I siphone it into the still and make a new batch while it's warming up. When I'm done distilling there's never any place to put the backset, I just dump it. Someday I'll try it though...someday...
Numerous 57L kegs, some propane, one 220v electric with stilldragon controller. Keggle for all-Grain, two pot still tops for whisky, a 3" reflux with deflag for vodka. Coming up, a 4" perf plate column. Life is short, make whisky and drag race!
