Sweet Feed Corn Mash
Corn whiskey 📍 Tennessee, United StatesIngredients
10 lb sweet feed (molasses-based, no pellets if you can help it)
5 gallons spring water
1 lb cracked corn for the cap
Distiller's yeast, 1 packet
Instructions
Heat the water to about 165°F and stir in the sweet feed until it's a loose porridge.
Let it cool to 75°F, then pitch your yeast and stir well.
Cover loosely and ferment 7–10 days in a warm corner until the cap drops and it's stopped bubbling.
Strain off the grain, then run it slow through your still. Make your cuts by smell and feel.
Notes from the maker
Aged on a couple of toasted oak chips for a month, it rounds out nicely.
