Sunday may 26 2024 got the news my dad had passed away
And I was in middle of spirit run on a sugar wash
So had 40# cracked corn that I had ground to #3 course ground meal
So in his honor since he was a turkey 101 fan most of my life I decide to do a hybrid sour mash type dont know to be honest
40# course ground meal
12# white sugar
40 oz honey
18 gallons water
4 gallons of sugar head back set
Soaked corn and sugar in the 18 gallons water
Added back set at end of run super hot
All into a 30 gallon fermenter
Let sit till today June 3 2024 did my stripping runs 3x @ 8 gals apiece
Low wines gathered at 7.5
Add .5 low wine backset
Ran slow and low deep into the tails
2 gallons hearts was end result
Tempered down to 120 and now got 1 jar sitting on oak stave #3
Anyways yall let me know if this is considered a sour mash or just another hair brain idea
Either way it did turn out good and eases the pain a smidge
Got
Old man's sour mash
