Posted: Mon Oct 26, 2009 11:18 am
to any o yall that have been following my problems with regards to getting a successfully fermented wash, well i finally got it right. its a sour mash and about 10% alcohol.
my recipe from scratch, and with inspiration from uncle jessie (small batch btw b/c i was experimenting:
1 cup enriched corn meal
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 liter purified water
yeast bomb (water, 1 packet of emergen-c, fleischmann's yeast, all left to grow for about 2 hours)
well its a shame that i have no means of distilling it right now, and its a little to sour to drink as a beer, but at least i finally got it right
p.s. i made a previous thread about emergen-c. check it out. its a b vitamin supplement with citric acid to lower the ph and give nutrients to the yeast. worked well IMO.
