Re: Simple All-Grain Bourbon For Anyone

I gave this method a go last weekend but scaled it up to 100 litres and mashed into my stainless 100 litre fermenter. All went well except the next day I couldnt get it to pull down in temp quick enough. I had left some water out so added cold water but it still sat at around 42C. I put a fan on the outside and just left it until that night to pitch.
No sign of fermenting had started so I figured it wasnt infected and pitched my yeast. Im going to strain it through my bag and into a second fermenter to allow it to settle so I can re-use the yeast for a second batch.
I brought fine cracked maize from Dandenong stockfeeds used to feed young chickens and it was cracked pefectly. didnt need to mill it at all.
