Make Whiskey at home - Really satisfying!As I've been asked many times where you can buy various whiskies, I am going to recommend a superb online Whiskey retailer that ships across the world. Please click on the following link.
The following will give you a number of recipes to enable you to Make Whiskey at home Please remeber that you will need the right equipment. A number of companies now produce stills to enable you to Make Whiskey at home Whiskey
INGREDIENTS 10 lbs. Whole kernel corn, untreated 5 Gallons Water 1 Cup Yeast, champagne yeast starter
DIRECTIONS Put corn in a burlap bag and wet with warm water. Place bag in a warm dark place and keep moist for about ten days. When the sprouts are about a 1/4" long the corn is ready for the next step. Wash the corn in a tub of water, rubbing the sprouts and roots off. Throw the sprouts and roots away and transfer the corn into your primary fermenter With a pole or another hard object mash the corn, make sure all kernels are cracked. Add 5 gallons of boiling water and when the mash cools add yeast. Seal fermenter and vent with a water sealed vent. Fermentation will take 7-10 days. When fermentation is done, pour into the still filtering through a pillow case to remove all solids.
GOOD WHISKEY
I thought you might like this moonshine recipe to enable you to Make Whiskey at home. The ingredients are malt, sugar, yeast and rain water. You can buy the malt from most big supermarkets, if they don't have it they will probably order it for you. The brand names for the malt and yeast can be Blue Ribbon, and Red Top. The malt is a liquid and comes in a can, the yeast comes in cakes. To every can of malt you will add 5 gallons of warm water, disolve 5 pounds of sugar and add 1 cake of yeast. Mix all this together in a barrel made of plastic, stainless steel, or copper, under no circumstances use aluminum. Keep it covered with cheese cloth to keep the bugs out. Keep it in a warm place till it ferments. Then you can cook it off in your still and you have the smoothest whiskey you have ever tasted. After you run off the whiskey, it is clear like water. You can color it by taking a piece of dry fruit wood (or maple), burn the fruit wood over a flame till it is blackened, then drop the burned fruitwood in your clear whiskey. In a few days the whiskey will be the color of store bought whiskey.
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 liquid and place into fermentation device and allow 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 liquid for 1 minute then cover and seal with a airlock. 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.
Moonshine 5 gallon bucket of sweet feed (Sweet feed has several different grains and molasses making it a great tasting whiskey.) one package of yeast (using distillers yeast will increase quality and quantity) 5 pounds sugar Water Put enough feed to cover bottom of 5 gallon bucket, a good 4 inches deep. Add 5 pounds of sugar. Fill 1/2 full with boiling water. Mix until sugar is dissolved. Mix the rest and finish filling with warm water. Add the yeast after it has cooled to the recomended temperture on the yeast label. Cover with lid--our lid has a little cap that screws on, leave it loose to breathe. 4-5 days later it's ready to run! This is an old-timer recipe and works quite well. My liquor is always 150-180 proof. It is not recommended for pot stills unless you filter it by pouring it through a pillow case into a 5 gallon bucket after it has finished fermenting. Otherwise the meal will settle and burn in the bottom of your still. Some folks leave the solids in the pillow case and tie it off where it will not touch the bottom of the still. When you Make Whiskey at home, you can produce a drink of exceptional quality, and the process can be exceptionally rewarding. Please take a look at the page I've put together on how Scotch Whisky is made as this page can hopefully provide the information you are looking for. If it doesn't then please contact me and I will see if I can help.
