Aussie sour mash whiskey

[r.c.barstud]

I kinda hijacked the bundy red process here as another experiment, I made an all grain sour mash and oaked it out, added some pure maple syrup and in the meantime I charred some sawdust in the fish smoker, packed a 4foot column with the charred sawdust and ran the spirit through it, 5 litres over about 45mins, end result, not bad at all

What sort of sawdust RC. You'd need to be careful what you used, anything suitable for a smoker should be ok I would think.

Red gum, bundy use red gum for their bundy red range

Wouldn't this have eucalyptus oil in it? Eucalyptus oil is toxic.

I thought Bundy used red gum charcoal,for filtering :shifty:

[db1979]

The charcoal wouldn't have any eucalyptus oil left in it.

Don't think I would recommend toasted red gum sawdust. The temperatures required to remove the unwanted toxins would not be achieved . Can see a case of the green Apple splatters on the cards here :puke-huge:

Red gum saw dust that has been charred to the shit house.

Well if you're going to char a timber that has toxins so the toxins can be removed, charring the sawdust would be your best bet because of the high surface area.
