I just had a go with my SWMBO's meat mincer with some cracked corn I have here although hard work going backwards and forwards I am getting a grain very close to what you showed earlier. Now next job is cutting the top off that second keg I have here to use a mash tun and now I have that 2 tri clover clamp my pot still will fit on my other keg so my first 40-50 wash going to happen all grain.
Now how would a 1kg can of the malt extract found in coles go for the conversion. also I was thinking 10kg's of milled corn and 3 kg's of milled wheat. Ok no barley so just a corn/wheat/malt extract wash.
Before i jump in do you think this would work ?
Cheers Bryan

sorry mate but the malt extract won't have any enzyme left as its boiled to sterilise before its canned
also i think you will need malted wheat for flavour and its enzyme is needed to help in breaking down the corn starches :-|

If the recipe has about 2kg in total of wheat and barley, once it converts itself and another 2kg doesn't that leave another 4.6 approx kg's to convert?. I did read you add in the enzymes from the hbs but you said you're not convinced it's needed.

Whiskyaugogo wrote:Thanks Brendan, I put my own AG down this weekend and basically followed your method;
7kgs flaked corn
2.5kg 6 row malted barley (finely ground)
1.8kg Rye (finely ground)
Alpha and Beta amalyse 2 x sachets
45 litres water
Safspirit American Whiskey yeast
Boiled 20 litres of water and added corn and turned the heat off.
Stirred every 15 minutes for the next 3.5 hours.
Added the amalyse, barley and rye at 67 degrees Celsius.
Covered and left sit overnight.
This morning, wash was at 42 so transferred to fermenter and topped up with another 25 litres of water,
Adjusted PH to 5.
Kept stirring every 15 minutes till wash hit 30 degrees Celsius.
Pitched the yeast and covered with a loose lid with the airlock in (to stop any nasty bugs).
6 hours later it is going ballistic.
Stage 1 complete and cannot wait to distill it! :happy-partydance:
Always tempted to add sugar but pushed through.

Reckon first 6 months you wonder why you bothered. Past that it starts to excel and the past 18 months there's no compare imho.
If you can hold a flagon or 6 to that age, it will seriously change your view.
