Hey, all!

I've been looking for a rye whiskey recipe and came across one on the net. I was wondering if anyone tried it or has any suggestions whether or not its legit.

Here's the recipe...

Code: Select all

RYE WHISKEY


 


Ingredients

7 Lbs. Rye

2 Lbs. Barley

1 Lbs. Malt

6 gallons of water 

3 grams Yeast

1 gram Ammonium-fluoride.

 


Directions

 


Heat water to 70 degrees and then mix in malt and grain. While stirring the mixture slowly heat to 160 degrees (raise temperature 5 degrees every 2 minutes).

Keep mixture at 160 degrees stirring constantly for 2-3 hours to convert starch into fermentable sugar and dextrin. 

Filter off the liquid and place into your fermentation device, allowing to cool to 70- 80 degrees. Immediately pitch with 3 grams of yeast. 

To avoid secondary fermentation and contamination, add 1 gram of ammonium-fluoride. Stir the liquid for 1 minute, then cover and seal with an airlock. 

The mash will take 5-7 days to ferment. 

After fermentation is complete, pour into the still, filtering it through a pillow case to remove all solids.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!!
