E247 How to make corn moonshine a base for flavored moonshines

Today here at Still Works and Brewing we are making a corn moon shine base for flavored moonshines

[racerothery]

Hey I wanted to tell you that thanks to you and a couple other guys on YouTube I finally put my own thing together. Self engineered my own device and I cooked my first bourbon mash up almost a week ago along with a honey Mead I got brewing up with it. I figure if i F up the Mead I’ll run it with the bourbon 💪🏻🇺🇸

Good to see you Randy!!! Love the vids. I think we should go for a cherry bounce...

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO! Blackberry would be great! I second that one!

The most talked-about flavored 'shine is, of course, Apple Pie. Lots of recipes out there but I've never seen it made.
Fireball hot cinnamon is another popular one.
For myself, I think a little orange flavor in a corn whiskey could be good, just a touch, but it would be easy for it to get too bitter.
I usually age with just a bit of a vanilla bean in with the oak but I'm thinking about trying to use some caramel, either in the aging or in the mash itself.
I look forward to whatever Randy comes up with. My bet is that he is already working on a better Fireball.

I’ve been wondering for awhile now if it was a good idea to use the bubble plate tower thank you for your information

Randy, I made this recipe with 14# of cracked corn from Tractor Supply that I milled to a coarse corn meal and 4# of milled 2 row malt. I followed your recipe to the tee, but only got a 1.045 OG. Iodine test confirmed the conversion. This corn is about 9 months old and the 2 row is about 1 year old, but has been vacuum sealed and stored in the freezer. Any ideas why I got such a poor brew house efficiency?

With the price of peaches here in Georgia we’ll over $2 a pound I need some suggestions what to use with some peaches to get a great taste!

Your Corn looks more like Corn Meal after u ground up?
I buy the Cracked corn and cook in a Brew Bag, then there no grain setteling.
WOW 1.080 SG thats without Sugar only Barley.
Im going to have to try the Barley, i use Sugar and Cracked Corn

[danthemann]

Why not add the HTA when you first add the corn? It makes the initial stirring easier and helps prevent clumping.

[chrislnflorida]

Ok, i just started a 7-7.5 gal mash, 14.5 lbs Milled Cracked Corn, 2.5 lbs 2 Row Malt Barley.
I went with ALL your temps and as it sits now, i have 7 gal of Porage, its not converging enough for any liquid for fermenting?
I will get back after it sits over night!

[Kenny-Whisnant]

Summertime drinks would be good. Lemon aid, strawberry, or strawberry lemon aid

[ronfussell]

Hey Randy, my problem always seems to be yeast and fermentation, I use DADY for most every batch, around 16 grams, my last sugar wash was like the Lakers locker room, bad yeast?

[okay]

I've noticed YT steal from YOU before, anyhow I LOVE the vids.

[Grandpa_RLP]

They say you can add the high temp enzyme in immediately as it works better on the high end of temps. 🙂

[michaelbackhaus]

Randy, how fine do you grind your grains?

[crack]

Is there a way to get good strong Carmel flavor on the mash and not post flavoring

[funwithwine]

I would like to see eather a peach or blackberry

[orion]

Pretty good video. If you were to Malt all your grains then you would not need any sort of enzymes or any additional yeast to be added. Malting the grains really is the secret to getting great product that is super simple without having to add unecessary stuff like yeast and enzymes. Just like the old timers used to do.
