The Super Simple Beginner Corn Mash Recipe

  • I walk through my process for mashing the super simple beginner recipe. This recipe is technically a sugar wash, but we're steeping corn and molasses flavor. It is perfect for the beginner because it simplifies every step of the process and allows for a great-tasting product with only a novice-level skill. Home distilling is a very rewarding hobby and I hope this video encourages more people to join the craft by showing just how simple it can be.

    Wow, no comments on this video? I've been brewing beer, wine, and cider for years and I've thought about making moonshine but never tried it. I used to know a guy in his 80's who'd been carrying sugar since he was 10. He made the best Georgia White I've ever drank. He died just a few years ago. Miss him terribly. Thanks so much for posting this video.

    Very similar to our old recipe in the North Carolina mountains years ago with my dad and his dad. We didn't fully gel the grains either, but there's still quite a bit of starch released. In a 7lb grain to 10gals water mix, used a 70-25-5 mix of corn rye and malted barley, the malt to convert the starches that were released that need converting, plus usually about 6 pounds of sugar as grand dad said too much sugar makes it too damn hot! Ha! This was a very popular drink back then and we made a bunch of it in grand dads old spring house (endless supply of ice cold water!). Some of the best memories of my life!! So glad to see this art revived and gaining ground again. Thanks for your part in it! Be safe!

  • @timjohnson6457

    Do you think it's beneficial to ferment on the grain as opposed to off?

    • @StillnTheClear
      @StillnTheClear  2 года назад +3

      I think like most other things in home distilling, it depends on what you're making and what equipment you're using. Fermenting on the grain is pretty easy if you have a mash tun or fermenter that makes it easy to drain of the wash after the ferment is complete. Some recipes are very thick and hard to separate wash from grain. If you are sparging then you should ferment off the grain. It all depends on your circumstance.

    @dkeith45 2 года назад +2

    Corn mash, sigh. Then I see the sugar come out. I make my own wine, and that much sugar for 10 gallons of water makes me wonder what the corn is even for? To act as yeast nutrient? Sure would be nice someday for corn whiskey to see a video where ZERO sugar is used. Only one like that I've seen was a vid by Irish TV on how they used to make whiskey in the old, old days. They'd take a 50 lb sack of barley (in a cloth sack), soak it in a bog for three days, which would start it sprouting, then spread it out till it's all sprouted, then bake it, etc.... to stop the germination process (malting). No sugar or other sweeteners was used.
    BTW, I use returnable 5 gallon drinking water bottles for my fermenters. Trick is, only fill them to the top of the straight sides. That leaves enough room if the wort foams up. Once the foam settles down after a few days, add in the rest of the water, juice etc.

      Technically, It's called a sugar wash. By definition, it is "Real" moonshine. This channel is geared for the beginner and it is much better for someone getting into this hobby to start with a sugar wash. for a number of reasons, starting with an all[grain mash is hareder for the beginner. Thanks for your comment though.
