Comment Author: Ketfeshkellen Making 90-130 proof booze 101. If your just starting out Here is the most simple mash recipe out there.
Step 1: go to the store and pick up 3 to 5 lbs of “dark” brown sugar, active dry yeast, “and if your a city slicker” 5 gallons of spring or purified water.
Step 2: bust out your biggest pot, throw in at least 3 lbs of your dark brown sugar, all 5 if you like your booze “in this case rum” to be on the warm side and you know how to party. Mix in about 2.5 gallons of water.
Step 3 bring it to a boil and shutter down about 30 seconds later.
Step 4: poor it in to your carboy or 5 gallon bucket and poor in the rest of your water. “Hopefully this will help get it cooler quicker”
Step 6: “very important” wait for your mash to cool down to room temperature
Step 5: if your mash is cooled down thrown in 1-1.5 table spoons of yeast “I throw in an extremely heaping teaspoon”
Step 6: find a nice consistently warm around your house or property “preferably not outside” and wait two weeks occasionally giving your mash a whiff to make sure everything is copacetic and up to par.
Step 7:….. Well considering that I should have told ya how to build a fermentation chamber and added more specific shopping list I’ll have to make this a part two but if ya know how to make a fermentation chamber and can run a still the this was likely to much info for ya but if not then I’ll leave another comment tomorrow on all that -
