Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.

faux bourbon question

Post by midlife_rebel »

I am thinking of doing a faux bourbon run

Grain bill is 70% cracked corn
16% barley
14% wheat
running 2nd generations onward with 33% backset
and enough sugar to bring up the SG to 1.070 or so

I am trying to get similar to makers mark as my buddies like this style, but not wanting to go all-grain

Should I run like a sourmash by leaving the majority of the grains in for each ferment
or should I start with new grain each time?

What are the pros and cons of this? Thanks guys
