Great stuff as always, Randy. Can you post the recipe in the vid descriptions? Also, one of the best pieces of advice I've read on HD site was to make a gumball-head to get another use out of those grains & sip on those while the all grain stuff ages! i.e. add 8-10 lbs of sugar on top of the sparged grains to get back to your 1.080 SG & ferment as normal. Kinda like a corn-based moonshine or UJSSM.
@@charlesdeshler202 After you've siphoned off the mash from the settled grains in your fermenter, you add sugar water right back on top of them, some yeast nutrient, & some pH balancing. It's basically a sugar wash using the grains as an adjunct.
Love it. I know you are making a single malt barley but you should also try a single malt with wheat or rye. Take part of your malt and toast some to caramel and some to chocolate.
So... Single malt.. You dont have to let the grains steep before adding malt? or because they are malted... they convert automatically? im a little confused....
@@stillworksandbrewing thank you again. I just found your channel and I find it very informal while trying to learn this craft. Other than that question I really appreciate the way you explain theses processes.
Great videos Randy. I have a question regarding home distilling. Is it possible to home distill liquor as good as you can purchase? I have brewed beer for several years and know that the answer is "yes" regarding beer. I just wanted to hear that it is equally as possible with spirits before I purchase a still. Thank you again for the great videos.
Yes, absolutely I have had blind tasting with friends with mine and store bought the good stuff and mine did very good so my answer is yes I will say as beer got to learn the craft Cheers!!
@@stillworksandbrewing I am putting together a mash tun like yours and was curious. I was thinking an upside down ss sieve or colander placed over the valve entry but have seen the SS threaded tubes on Amazon. Any recommendations on size or mesh type?
@@kevinbaxter2578 if you look back i made a video on how i made mine i got yhe strainer from local brew shop it was ss mesh with a male threaded fitting
Don't stir the mash, match the sparge speed to the drain out speed and maintain an inch or two of water above the grain bed while you fill your kettle or fermenter in this case.
Hi Mr Brewer yes that is one way that is called fly sparge what I like is called batch sparge their is always different ways to do the same thing Cheers!!
@@stillworksandbrewing Yes, I'm a professional brewer I know there is a difference, that's why I was suggesting since you have the equipment to do a fly sparge like the pros to try that. Conversion wise you are correct it will yield about the same efficiency, but the fly sparge allows the grain bed to act as a filter and gives you nice clean and brite wort. But of course do what works best for you.
I guess I didn’t/don’t understand ‘single malt’... I thought that meant a single grain. Have I been doing it wrong this whole time? You have 3 grains in your grain bill. What am I missing? Is my interpretation of ‘single malt’ incorrect? Thanks for your time and videos sir.

That’s kinda a cool idea might have to try that. Interesting. Cheers my friend
That would be like a Sour mash eh? Whats a gumball head?

Sounds good!
Great video. What have you done inside the mash tun to keep the drain valve from plugging?
Thanks
I use a bazooka screen at the valve when using with just grain works well if got corn or oats in the bill i add a brew in the bag bag
So... Single malt.. You dont have to let the grains steep before adding malt? or because they are malted... they convert automatically? im a little confused....
Hi Charles the grain is malted i am only using a single malted grain in this whiskey you have to mash in for 1.5 hours to convert starch into sugars
So if im correct you don't add the grains to your fermentation tank?
that is correct I ferment off the grain that's the way I do it Cheers!!
@@stillworksandbrewing do you have to remove the grain or can you add the grains into your fermenter?
@@Mo11y666 The choice is yours just keep in mind that like in my case i need 6 gallon of liquid after fermentation to put in still

Randy, I went back a few times to see how you were filtering the mash when you drain. Are you using a false bottom or a SS mesh sock?
I use a ss mesh like a sock or tube

@@kevinbaxter2578 go to video E28 se if that helps
@@stillworksandbrewing Ah, way back there. :) It's all clear now. Thanks for that. That helped a bunch.
Nice! 1.085 without supplemental sugar. Are you planning on aging with any of the wood form your previous video? Should be a good one.
Yes that’s what I was thinking cheers my friend
Love the channel. Can you please use ear buds or a microphone?
cheers!!
can you please post the recipe?
so sorry it took so long to get back to you i used 14 # 2 row 2# crystal 60 2# light munich and dady yeast Cheers!!
@@stillworksandbrewing Thank you! :)
OK, SOooo, where is the grain bill?????????
14.5 # 2 row
2 # crystal 60
2 # lite munich

@@aknutz46 Jesus....there's not 1 damn thing "single" in a single malt whiskey. In a just world there would be a law preventing such a deception.
Totally lost with all the weird 17th Century measurements. What a turn off
sorry you didn't like all i can say is cheers
