I Turned Corn Into Whiskey & Filled A Barrel

It's time to make a 100% corn bourbon. No wheat or rye and no barley. Just a spirit made from corn and only corn. I have mashed corn a bunch of times now and I have always been a little disappointed with the conversion. So this time I decided to go overboard with the cooking/mashing process.

I used a standard barley mill and double milled it. Fill a large pot to just under halfway with corn. Add boiling water and stir until the pot is full. Add a small amount of HTA (high temp alpha amylase enzymes) and boil for 45min. Add the corn into a large fermenter and insulate very well. repeated until all the corn is cooked. Stir in the rest of your HTA and insulate. Leave for 6-8 hours. Cool to 60c and add glucoamalase. Insulate and leave for 2-4 hours. Cool to 25c and pitch your yeast. Run stripping runs to strip all the wash. Then run a spirit run. Proof down to your desired barrel proof. Age on wood for as long as you can wait. ============================= Linked Videos ============================= Distilling on grain https://youtu.be/X2YrEmm0lK0 Staves Vs Barrell https://youtu.be/fXwLjYNX7x8 ============================= Popular Series ============================= Safety Net Want to jump into all-grain but worried about the process or the amount of gear you need?
