Making Rumsky

[corene1]

Well there has been a lot of fermenting activity going on here at the forum so I thought I would jump in with a nice grain mash sort of recipe I make. Had all the ingredients so what else is there to do when it's raining outside. You guessed it make a mash'.
I got out my new home made 45 gallon mash tun with a nice false bottom and brought 30 gallons of water up to a boil and added 20 pounds of steam rolled corn and cooked it for a few hours adding HTL enzymes at 185. At 180 degrees I added 20 pounds of white wheat, triple milled, into the pot and cooked it for another 90 minuets. At 153 degrees I added 20 pounds of milled briess pilsner malt and my GL enzymes just for insurance. This brought it down to 149 and a PH of 5.8. After a couple of hours it was at 16 brix so I opened up the bottom drain and started filling the fermenter. When the flow was down to drips I added more warm water to it to completely drain the sweet sugars out then squeezed the grains for every last drop. Added a gallon of molasses and cool water to get my brix at 16.5. Now I am waiting for it to cool down to yeast temperature and trying to decide what yeast I am going to use. It is colder here right now , may go with safale us-05. Probably going to do 2 of these batches to get enough good spirit to fill my new to me, once used 7 gallon bourbon barrel. Guarantee it is some fine drinking after about a year of two of aging.
