so i have 5kg of cracked corn and 20L of molasses and wondering how i should ferment them should i just do a molasses rum wash and something else with the corn or put them together and make something

whats goes with the corn to make a whiskey/bourbon

cheers for any help guys

With the molasses I'd be using a rum recipe posted in the proven section, and for your corn you can use my bourbon knock off recipe and just use corn instead of adding barley and wheat.

On other forums the best and easiest corn recipe is called UJSM, and that's what my bourbon knock off basically is.

Cheers.

i forgot about ujsm thats where i read about the corn lol
yeah i was looking at your rum recipe

If you have a reflux still, Pints Fast Fermenter ( pintoshine-fast-ferment-molasses-wash-t197.html ) makes a brilliant white rum/bacardi/neutral. ;)

No girls drink, water this down to 50% and mix 1/3rd white rum 1/3rd fruit juice and 1/3rd lemonade.

You'll be asleep in your armchair before you even feel drunk 8-)

on another note hows danstil 493 edv for a yeast :mrgreen: ive got a 500g pack of it in the cupboard can i use it the same as bakers yeast

No don't use it the same as bakers yeast. It's a proper distillers yeast. Pitch it at sorta beer rates. A tablespoon or so for a 20-40l wash.

You can make it last a lot longer if you just pitch about a cup of an active wash into a new one. I use 'Danstil C', i always have a ujsm going, so i'll just dip a cup of ujsm and throw it in a sugar wash or rum wash or whatever. 8-)

woops i shoulda read that earlier i pitched 30grms into a 22.5l ujsm it has taken a while to start off but it goins slow at the moment is that normal once i have a free fermenter ill be doin a molasses wash is it the same with that only a tblsp to say 20l molasses ($16.60 for 20l is that a good price )

Dunno about your mollasses price, i get mine for free.

Speed of fermentation depends on lots of factors, the most important one being temperature. Google up a spec sheet for your yeast, or ask on AD, i know a few blokes went in on a bulk buy of the 493 a while ago.

You can make a starter, pitch dry or pitch active wash into your mollasses wash, it'll all work the same.

how do you get yours for free 5Star ill have to make friends with someone similar
