I have put together a rough recipe based loosely off of "UJSSM" that i would like to run by everyone here.

I have on hand Beer brewing Grains that are "past their prime" for use in beer which is where this comes together, ok they are just plain 3 years old cause i bought to much back when i had money and never got them used up. I have managed to call in a debt a friend owed me(a whopping 5 bucks lol) and i have 7 lbs of cracked Corn, 2 lbs Dark Brown Sugar,and 10 lbs of light brown sugar. So here is the Recipe i have came up with.


7lbs Cracked Corn
5lbs 6row malt
2lbs Dark Brown Sugar
10lbs Light Brown Sugar
Red Star Pasteur Champagne Yeast(had it on hand from my winemaking)
5 teaspoons yeast energizer ( i have it on hand and it needs used up)
5 teaspoons Acid Blend ( i have it on hand and it needs used up)

The Process i plan to use is as follows. Cereal Mash on the Corn(IE boil it for 1.5 hours) to extract the starch, Mash in with enough water to lower the temp to 152, Stir in the 6 row for conversion, and let sit for 4 days covered in my round cooler mash tun. Drain into fermenter and Sparge with enough water to equal 5 gallons, Add Sugars and stir till dissolved Mix in yeast energizer and Acid Blend, Pitch with yeast and let ferment out until complete. I am going to take a chance this one time, and NOT do a boil, which is against my sanitation process totally, but the aim here IS a sour mash after all.

So let me know what you all think.
