Are you confused about your own post there googe :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: see how it feels (just kidding)
ok maltrose is basically the sugar from grain recoverd normally through the malting process. If you can get it cheaply you should. this stuff would be great in any mash recipe and I would think substituted fur sucrose in an UJSM should taste something very similar to a full saccharificial mash :handgestures-thumbupleft: , good score go forth and report back

:laughing-rolling: thanks crow :handgestures-thumbupleft: . Just what I wanted to hear :D . So, would you know what sort of quantities I would use in a 30l wash?, or would I need to see how much fermentable sugars there is in the product?, hopefully they will have a labeled on it showing quantities, or have info on it. Thanks again mate.

duno i would think it would be not a whole lot different to sucrose and would consider using identical quantities :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Thanks mate, sorry to make you repeat yourself lol. So, a part mash is UJSM?, and a full would be UJSM with maltose minus the sugar?. Sorry but I really really struggle with this shit lol.

yeah.. i mean no I think.. maybe.. what :? :laughing-rolling:
Ok let me start again I think you could do a sugarhead whiskey using maltrose instead of sugar and it may well end up tasting like a cooked mash and yes that is positively a good thing :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Ya do realize ya derailed ya own thread don't ya :laughing-rolling: Don't shoot he dunit
In the interest of members researching this I would suggest that you continue further discussion and reporting results in a thread called or alluding to the use of maltrose

Thanks mate, don't know what a sugar head whisky is :laughing-rolling: . I was planing on doing a thread on it, will do when I get some and work out a recipe. Thanks again mate.

Jeezuz googe :shock: go to tried and prove and look for my bourbon knock off, that's one. sugar head : a spirit that uses a fermentable product for flavour sugar to produce the alcohol

Yes my son? . I know crow, its like watching a train wreck :laughing-rolling: . Since ive been doing this ive read bugger all about mashing and the such, just been totally focused on building and thinking!!. Want to try different things now my buildings dropped off. I'm excited about doing a whisky and appreciate all your help :D
