This will be my new grain bill.What should we call it?

[wineo]

I have a bunch of grain left over from other projects,and need to use it up while its still fairly fresh so this is what I am going to use in my new mash.{the wines are under control,and its time to smell the whiskey burning}
Flaked wheat 2 Lbs
Torrified wheat 2 Lbs
Flaked barley 1Lb
Flaked rye 3/4 LB
Whole oats 4 Lbs
Crystal malt60 1Lb
Munich malt 2 1/4Lb
2 row malt 20 Lbs+
Total 35Lbs +
I am going to mash all of this in 2 or 3 coolers at 150f overnite,and dump it all in a 20 gallon fermenter the next morning and add hot water to the 18 gallon mark.I will check the SG{adjust for the temp so I get the right SG}and add sugar until I reach an Sg of 1070-1080,and pinch with whiskey distillers yeast with AG.I will set the fermenter in a bin in case it foams over,and ferment it out,rack,run,backset,sour mash with more sugar,and repete a few times.
I think it will taste like irish whiskey and scotch but smoother.We will see!
I still dont know what to call it?

What is "torrified" wheat?

[Aidas]

Well, the torrified wheat in that amount probably isn't going to affect the flavor much, if at all, and with the other two pounds of wheat it is going to smooth out the flavor (I would guess). The majority of the grain bill is barley, with a touch of oats and rye, so you're dead on track for irish whiskey).

If it turns out OK, call it Barley whiskey. If it turns out nice, call it Irish whiskey. If it turns out less than OK, but drinkable, call it grain whiskey. If it turns out wonderful, call it Wineo's Personal Whiskey.

I would say Irish whiskey also. My reasoning is that it is a blend of grains, unlike Scotch. And I didn't see any corn in there, so it wouldn't be an American type whiskey.

Either way, you could always use the moniker I use when emptying the place out and making a beer...

"Kitchen Cabinet Whiskey"

I also use that when my daughter asks what's for dinner, and I have no clue so I say it'll be a ...

"Kitchen Cabinet Special"

lol

cheers

We aren't in Ireland. Call it the "spirit of the wee people"

[mrotch]

When I made beer from a mix of leftover grains - I used to call it "Floor Sweepings"

[punkin]

You already named it at the top of your post.

Why change it from 'Leftovers' now?

Catchy name, especially if it turns out as good as it sounds...

How about A Scotsmans version of Irish Whiskey.That ought to confuse em.

"Brown Paper-Sack Juice" - in keeping with your screenname..

I changed the grain bill a little.I left out the oats,and added some soured corn to the recipe.I cut back on the two row malt some,and ended up with 28lbs of grains total.I ran the first batch of it last night,and it turned out nice and mild with alot of malt flavor.Although there was 5 pounds of corn in there,You cant really taste any corn at this point.It may come out more with age.I collected over 2 gallons in small containers,And ended up using about a gallon and a half of it for keeping.I blended in some heads and tails,and will put the leftovers in with the next run.I added 2 more pounds of corn to the fermenter,and 6 gallons of backset with 20 pounds of sugar in it.Its fermenting away today with a huge cap on top.I have last nights run on some heavy char oak with a little bit of uncharred oak mixed in.It ended up at 60% after blending.Its irish whiskey for sure.I will update when I do the 2nd run.
