Well I did type this out in Tradition Appalachian (u.s.) sweet mash whiskey thread
but it took me along time to type it up and so when I hit the post button it asked me to log back in what
a fuck about not happy because this meens I got to type it all out again. This time I aint fucking around with
spell checkers so you all just got to deal with the spelling. :angry-banghead:
When I hit the post button the first time I thought this might be a thread hikack so Im gona make a new one.
So yesterday I ask 2 questions about the igredence that went in to mtn recipe for whiskey. The reson for asking them
is because of how much they cost where I live. I realy dont want to spend a good chunck of cash on something that I might
fuck up or might not like the tast of sorry to say mtn. But not only that the biggest thing that I like about doing what
we do is making booze from raw ingredence. That for me meens cutting out as many middle men as I can. This also can
save us some big bucks.
On with my first question form yesterday.
Q1. The barley that is used is that the beer making type or is it the type
that is used for stock feed it would make sence if it was the beer type
but I am hoping it might be the other because of the cost of the beer
type.
My anser I found on the net. :-B
Barley is a basic cereal grain not particularly good for milling into flour
and making bread or bakery goods. But it is great for beer. There are three
major types of barley. These are differentiated by the number of seeds at
the top of the stalk. Barley seeds grow in two, four and six rows along the
central stem. European brewers traditionally prefer the two-row barley
because it malts best and has a higher starch/husk ratio than four or
six-row barley. Brewers in the US traditionally prefer six-row barley
because it is more economical to grow and has a higher concentration of
enzymes needed to convert the starch in the grain into sugar and other
fermentables.
I have all ready spoke to my guy at the feed shop about what grains he can get in for me and barley is on the list. So
all I need to conferm now is what type he can get but from what I understand you can use any type if you dont have a
choice.
Ok my secon question.
Q2. rye meal. I have done a google serch and I get few diffrent things
that come up from it. I think I need to pick up whole grain rye flour.
It contains all of the bran, germ and endosperm of the original rye
kernel.
My anser.
This was alot more simpler then I thought it was. I think I must have been over thinking this one. All I got to do eh is
make another trip to the feed shop pick up some rye seed put in blender and BAM rye meal. Just dont over blend.
I realy cant see the cost for these grains being all that high. over 1 clam and probly under 2 per kg.
(yes I just finished seson 2 of boardwalk empire)
Barley malt will probly take some work to make but it is a hobby after all its part of the process of making my own booze
that I want to try at least once.
Finaly I do need some help from one lucky ready. What I need is some pic's of rye meal. I want to see how blened it is.
Short of going and buying some and that I dont want to do so please someone just a few minets of your time please thanks.
Well thats about all thats to it atm I will keep you all posted and get some pics up to show what I am doing and how Im doing it.
