Recapitulated sugar head oat whiskey

Postby crow » Mon Nov 05, 2012 11:15 am

I've been doing a single malt oat whiskey for a while now and started doing a oat sugar head concurrently but then thought why am I wasting grain. I now reuse the grain from my sacrification mash to do a reiterated grain sugarhead in the same genre as the UJSM. Heres a basic outline of the process I'm using currently
I boil the spent grain from my last sugar head strain and then dissolve my sugar (same ratio as UJSM) and put that in my fermenter with say 50% or so of the stillage (warm) from the last sugarhead wash to this I add the spent grain from my mash (I freeze this stuff until needed) and add some hot water. Then when the temperature is between 32 and 27 I pitch with the last sugarhead lees, it seems to be coming along just great :D

It's too early to tell now, but please keep us posted after they've aged a bit.
I am very curious to hear your thoughts on/if the taste difference. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Ok i ran this one through the bubbler . it was a mix of low wines and finished wash. the resulting whiskey is really something special , not like the single malt but not really worse . It is and it tastes like it is a sour mash oat whiskey. I've put another down and can recommend this process :handgestures-thumbupleft:
