BIAB Single Malt Whisky

[TasSpirits]

Just wondering if anyone is interested in trying to get a simple AG Whisky recipe into the tried and proven? Ive been playing with BIAB until I get my mash tun built. Results so far have been very promising, cost between $8 - $11 per bottle. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I have a couple, we would need to discuss what a group of us could all get easily to start with I think :-B I have a few recipes I think are ok. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I started with a pot, makes a sweet Whisky with tight cuts, a power controller makes it a bit easier :handgestures-thumbupleft:

For sure always looking for new recipes especially a whiskey for $11 :D

Peated or unpeated? is the first question

Yeah power controllers in plans makes great stripper uncontrolled I heat up on electric and change to gas when doin spirit runs till controller finally comes together

I'm thinking unpeated :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I think un peated with the option peated. On the other hand is peated malt available to buy? Building a smoker is a bit full on to "try" a recipe..

[bluc]

I see craftbrewer has peated malts available so they are ready available than I wouldn't mind either way..

Seen the "make your own peat reek" article on here? Just need a tin & a fire. Simples. In saying that though, I'd like to experiment with an "Aussie" single malt. Try to get an agreeable yet uniquely Australian flavour into it, whether that be via the aging wood, a native grain or drying/smoking grain with an unmistakable Aussie wood. I have a couple of things in mind but have to make sure I won't be imparting any poisons into anything for consumption. And we all know that everything in Australia is just itching to kill ya :))

Stay clear of eucalyptus then.
Bundy filter or age with Red gum, not sure how much flavour carries over tho, i could not tell, but then ive never had the original recipe bundy.

Hoppydays can get medium peated he has a bag sitting there.
Ive been very keen to try AG wiskey but grain is to spenno and my beer is too good. Im hanging out for a good groupbuy on AHB for some bags
Gotta get that sweet sweet $1.50/kg Barrett Burston ale malt

Hi Guys, I use Simpsons Peated Malt quite a bit, its a bit expensive $80 for 25kg last bag I bought. I am thinking something like a Joe White Pilsner Malt, should be relatively easy to get hold of and its not to expensive. Any thought on this would be appreciated :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I'd be happy to contribute to this with testing etc. I use a 50L braumeister for my beers which gives nice repeatability in mashing. Have made a fair few AG single malt whiskeys over the past year or two. Based on my tests so far, Im not convinced on your pricing as Ive found you need a LOT more malt to produce enough fermentable sugars to result in a satisfactory alcohol level in your wash so as not to be wasting your time and effort. I can dig out the recipe I was using at the time which has amounts and estimated gravity etc if that would help.

Joe White is a Tasmanian Malter using Tassie grown grain. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

That would be awesome :handgestures-thumbupleft: , I mainly use distillers malt but have used a few other types quite successfully,I have lately been using 7kg for a 25L wash and have had good results. I cost my recipes using costing software from my time as a chef so it should be fairly close.
