The Super Simple Beginner Corn Mash Recipe
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 06. 2024
- 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.
Sorry to here that brother.
@@StillnTheClear always wanted to try Popcorn suttons shine!.
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!
Thanks.
Hi Cyrus, been watching your videos for a while. Just had a road trip and listened to all your podcasts at one time and can't believe how awesome they are. Thanks for the videos and podcasts, super helpful. Cheers.
Oh man, I'm so glad you're finding my stuff helpful. Thank you for the comment, it made my day.
I used all feed corn so I’m gonna add a little amylase to my next batch to help break down the enzymes. This looks like my buddy’s recipe and his tastes great. Thanks for sharing.
Looking forward to trying this since I just now bought my first moonshine stile. Thank you
Looks Good!
Cool .. interested in seeing the 2nd part!
Coming soon!
Awesome! Hella interesting! Looks like fun...now I want to try this!
You should absolutely try it. This is a blast of a hobby.
I can't wait for my kit to come! I appreciate the knowledge you are passing on. Truly appreciated by this PA hillbilly.
Thanks Jason, and you should only need nutrients if you exceed 1.5 lbs of sugar per gallon of water
Awesome!! Thank you
You're welcome!
So awesome, thanks bud!
Glad you liked it!
Podcast is great. Glad I found you on here
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for listening.
Thank you for the upload! We are going to try your recipe. Greetings from the Netherlands!
Wonderful.
Thank you much for the upload
Our pleasure!
Keep it up my man, Super interesting and informative!
Thanks brother.
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome!
Awesome video thank you very much
Glad you enjoyed it
Love your videos!
Thank you so much.
Thanks for the recipe
You're quite welcome. Enjoy.
I want to try your mash kit.
Great video! Thank you. I’m very new to distilling and I’ve just made this. Is there a part two where you distill this recipe?
Coming soon!
I've got those ingredients out in the barn, don't even need to go to the feed store. Thanks
Awesome! You're ready to roll.
Thank you for the clear concise instruction. You earned a new subscriber today. I did want to ask if I could use a presses corn that they sell at my local Co op?
Thanks for the info.
Thanks!
You're welcome
I bought the kit and have a 15 gallon barrel but also have buckets. Does it matter which one I use? If I use the 15 gallon barrel do I put 10 gallons total of water or do I fill up to 10 gallons with grains included? Thanks, can't wait to make my first mash.
Great video lots of helpful information. How long do you let it sit before you run it?
It will depend on the temps, but typically it will finish in 7 to 10 days.
the wild yeast gives your shine a better flavor i always just put a burlap over the top of my barrels to ferment
I agree.
How long do you let the buckets set to ferment
Thank I messed mine up
Going to try this recipe soon. I can’t find any sweet feed will I be safe to just use just cracked corn in place of the sweet feed
Yes you can!
Great video! Thanks! How do you know when it’s ready?
If you're not using a triple scale you just wait until the bubbles stop.
@@StillnTheClear Thank you for all your help!
Interesting video, brother. I am curious of the night time ambient temperature during your video..how does the end product taste? I'll be checking in and subbing....right now!
Night time times at this time were about 70f. The end product is in my opinion the best tasting sugar wash recipe out there.
When did Sugar go in at one point after the 45 minutes or during
whats the sweet feed consist of?
If you have one available, instead of standing and stirring for 45 minutes, I've seen people use drills with drywall mixers on them. Keeps everything nice and mobile. Great video though.
That's really a great idea. I will be trying that one for sure. Thanks for the comment.
Do you think it's beneficial to ferment on the grain as opposed to off?
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.
I’m just here for a friend😏🤘😎also, if you have a Firehouse Subs nearby you can buy the food grade pickle 5 gallon buckets with lid for $3 and they donate the money to local firehouses in the area!!
I didn't know that. Thanks
How water did you start with?
How long do you let it ferment before it goes through the still? Forgive me I’m new.
No worries, the beginners are why I'm doing this. The time it takes for the ferment to finish will vary mainly depending on the temperature of the ferment, but 7 to 10 days is typical.
Wort chiller for sure..I made mine by wrapping soft copper tubing around a paint can..then adding the hose fittings..also I would suggest using a blow off tube instead of an airlock..I’ve had a few ferments that were very aggressive and made a mess….on the ceiling..lmao
Can you make apple or peach moonshine with this recipe??
Absolutely! My wife does it all the time.
Could you stir that with a drill and and a stainless paint stirrer?
Yes, sounds like a good Idea to me.
When do you put in the yeast? You didn’t say, but I assume with the grain?
Sorry, The yeast goes into the 5 gallon buckets when the temp of the wash drops to 90 f and not before.
Can I add 6 row malted barley in lieu of all grain sweet feed stock. I cannot find it in my area.
Can you start out with a good used big block car to deliver the moonshine?
😂
Verry simmer to ujssm. Im trying to step my game up to all grain mashing but still always have a ujssm going
Well, I also have a video for the easiest all grain mash.
@@StillnTheClear ill have to have a look
Nice. I make wine. I want too make some shin. I would like to make some of my Grandads Beer
You should absolutely go for it.
at what temperature did you add the Yeast?
About 90F
Is the sweet feed that you are using the 14% or 16%
Neither. It has no pellets.
CAN you add fruit to the mash or is their kits to make it with fruits
Yes you can add fruit. The thing about this hobby is you can try whatever you want. There are hundreds of recipes out there to try. We will be doing many more recipe videos in the near future. Thanks for the comment.
Whats in the sweet feed?
Did you allow the water to boil at any time?
No need. It doesn't have to get that hot.
👍
Where is the second part of this? What is the process for running the wash?
Distillation video coming soon!
Hello from Concord arkansas
Hello right back at ya.
if you had to shoot out a number, how much will that batch make?
About 1.5 gallon at 110 proof
what is in the kit please so i can buy it in australia
It is 6 lbs cracked corn or corn chop and 3 lbs of all grain sweet feed NO NO PELLETS
How long does it need to ferment?
7 to 10 days
Could I just mix it in one 10 gallon bucket ??
Except it won't all fit, unless you shorten the water. maybe just use 8 gallons of water. The recipe will still work fine. In fact, the ABV will be a little higher.
How much moonshine will you get after distilling a 10 gallon mash? New to it all . Can't imagine you get 10 gallons of moshine after boiling it. How many gallons do you think you end up with
There are a number of factors that will determine final yield, but the ballpark will be around 15%of mash volume.
What’s the reason behind not being able to use the pellet feed
I don't know for sure, but ever time I've tried them I get some off flavors.
Is there a part 2, what do you do next?
Part 2 coming soon
How long dose shipping take?
7 to 10 days typically.
When are you going to video for the corn mash running it through the still
That video is just around the corner.
Fyi, all stock sweet feed has pellets, the product your calling all-stock is actually Called "All-Grain" at a actual feed store
Thanks for the info.
Is the cracked corn Corn Grits?
No
does this recipe have to be distilled after this
Technically no.
@@StillnTheClear ok should I get an alcohol tester
what kind of sweet feed is it
It's an all grain from the local Coop Feed.
What was your S.G. on this? Don't seem like it would be more than about a 1.050
Doing this recipe will typically give you an SG of 1040
Where is part two of this video?
Part 2 coming very soon. Thanks
so is it supposed to be that color i thought it was clear
Different recipes will have different colors before they go into the still. They will all be clear once they're distilled.
Great!... 130 🐄🦉🏴☠✝
Dont see the point of the grain if u don't convert the starch to sugar how are u transferring the corn flavor
The corn flavor is steeped into the water. Then transfers over because the distillate is part water.
No amalayse enzyme?
None needed for this recipe. This is a sugar wash. the corn is for flavor not starch conversion.
Good girl
IKR.
What type of still are you using
In this video I'm running the 8 gallon 2" Dual Pro from Mile Hi Distilling.
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.
What about fruit flavored shine a little sweetness. For the ladies,lol
We will certainly be doing some flavored shine videos. Thanks for the comment.
10:03 wait thats it u let them sit over night and u have that whiskey
No. It sat overnight and some wild yeast got into it and started the ferment.
The hair of the dog that bites you.
Please send a free kit to me in the uk
Uh.... Nope.
No comments 👀
If your adding sugar why add corn or anything ur making a sugar mash anyways not gona get anymore alcohol just wasting money ?
This recipe is just steeping flavor from the corn. Starches are not being converted with this recipe
Seems to me you would get more interest if you did not “make” people sign up to be on another e-mail list.

Fool proof eh? Not to a sufficient fool like myself.
Ah, come on. You an do it.
That's not moonshine, that's corn flavored sugar liquor. It would be better to use malted corn, or malted barley and do a REAL mash. It's not that hard.
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.
Corn whiskey is for people who like country music, both of which are low on the excellence scale.
😂That's funny
Good grief. This was awful.. Bad. He convinced me to give up on doing this.
I dont want to frig around like this fool. Ill get a jug at th e store. Thanks.
It's not for everyone.
👍
