Corn whiskey wash advice

[Thumpa]

Can anyone tell me if they have used brown sugar no what brown sugar would do to the taste of a corn bourbon wash thanks in advance guys help really appreciated

[Linny]

Ive used raw, to great success but not brown.... I heard brown sugar is white refined sugar thats steeped in cane juice / molasses , thats why you see it in some HD rum recipe's

[OzKev]

Talking cane sugar, raw is the first crystals in the sugar refining process. Whereas, as above, brown sugar is sugar that has been refined to white and then molasses added back. The main difference is raw will have other impurities which also impart flavor. These flavors may or may not suit the product.

Thanks for the quick reply guys so what would u think of brown sugar in bourbon then not sure if I should try it? Thanks again fellas

[Linny]

what recipe are you using ? are you making Uj style or are you actually mashing ? im 99% sure the brown sugar wont hurt mate

Give it a go you could stumble on something brilliant could also turn out like a cross between whiskey and rum 8-} :text-lol: not all bad.

Yeah mate actually mashing. Will give it a try and age on my oak. I'll let use all no how it goes if any1s interested ,just something that I thought I might experiment with if no body had done it before cheers again

If you are mashing, why the sugar at all?

[Thumpa]

You are right about why the sugar at all. I have just been told and sought of convinced to use it starting out (I'm only new at this)but I'm going to get away from using it. I'm going to try the brown sugar but to see if any flavour change good or hopefully not bad come through. :think:
