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.

Bourbon Recipe Question

Post by Ftero »

I dearly loved my Grandfather. A soft-spoken gentleman from Alabama.
Some of the best things that I learned in life came from that man.
Anyway, when I was a kid, he would come to visit us sometimes, and I can remember him bringing along a flask of Old Crow whiskey and Gene Autrey albums to listen to.

So, now that my DWWG is just about ready to rack to my carboy, I'm thinking about making some Bourbon in honor of my GP.

I did some searching, and came across this grain bill from an all-grain recipe from Tar on Yahoo Distillers:

25 pounds cracked corn
5 pounds rye flour
17 pounds crushed 6-row malted barley

Does this look o.k? or can you push me in the direction of a recipe that is generally considered "better" ?


Thanks all!
