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!

Just got it in the fermenter. Fantastic job on the included instructions.

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.

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.

I can't wait for my kit to come! I appreciate the knowledge you are passing on. Truly appreciated by this PA hillbilly.

Podcast is great. Glad I found you on here

[charlieflager]

I've got those ingredients out in the barn, don't even need to go to the feed store. Thanks

[Christerveen]

Thank you for the upload! We are going to try your recipe. Greetings from the Netherlands!

the wild yeast gives your shine a better flavor i always just put a burlap over the top of my barrels to ferment

[allflows]

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?

[chestercopperpot]

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

[BernWag]

Why wouldn't you convert the starch? I've never done this, just curious

[Ejshook]

Keep it up my man, Super interesting and informative!

[jimfryar]

Can you convert some of the starches in the grains to into fermentable sugars, to further enhance the flavors of the mash?

[Grandpa_RLP]

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.

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.
