Rad's All Bran Recipe
Per 4 liters (1 gallon) of water
- 3.5 cups sugar
- 4 liters water
- 1 cup crushed All Bran cereal
- 2 tbsp active baking yeast
Rad's All Bran is a simple sugar wash recipe which uses All Bran cereal as nutrients for the yeast. The aim of the recipe is to create a wash suitable for vodka and faux whiskey.
Recipe
Per Gallon (4 Liters) of 14.1% ABV wash
- 4 cups sugar (1000 ml, 2 pounds, 1 kilo)
- 1 cup whole All Bran flakes (250 ml)
- 1/2 teaspoon boiled yeast component
- 1/2 teaspoon 20-20-20 fertilizer (substitute 1/4 teaspoon epsom salt if afraid of fertilizer)
- 2 tablespoons yeast (Fleischmann's dry active yeast works fine up to 14.1% with this recipe)
Process
- Invert sugar with an equal volume of water for 30 minutes
- Simmer cereal with double the volume of water for 30 minutes
- Mix the invert sugar, cereal, and boiled yeast component
- Top off fermenter and allow wash to cool to 35°C/95°F.
- Pitch yeast and 20-20-20 and aerate for 1 minute (additional aeration optional)
Notes
- This process yields a fully fermented and cleared wash within 72 hours at 26°C/78°F
- The wash can be pot stilled for flavor or refluxed for clean neutral spirit
- Not using 20-20-20 or boiled yeast will increase lag time and extend fermentation time
- Full krausen within 15 minutes is not uncommon
- %ABV options by volume (Cups per Gallon) are: 4C/G = 14.1%, 3.5C/G = 12.3%, 3C/G = 10.6%
- Adding more cereal will potentially impart more flavor (experiment with more or less)
