So I thought I would let you guys know what I have been working for the last few weeks.
I decided that I would like to have a go at making a scotch style malt whiskey. I decided on all grain because why not.
I didn't want to spend up on brewing equipment so I made do with what I had.
I insulated my pure distilling 30 litre boiler with some stuff from Clark rubber and filled it up to 23 litres. I put 3 kilos of distillers malt and 2 kilos of peated malt into a grain bag and once the water in the boiler was up to 69 degrees I threw the grain into the boiler.
I let it sit there for and hour and a half then pulled the grain out rinsed it off with some water from the kettle and i boiler my wort for ten minutes.
Once the boil was finished I threw the whole lot into a 20l container i got from bunnings and sealed it up real tight.
I did this twice and now both containers are sitting in the shed waiting to be fermented which I will hopefully do next week.
I was surprised how straight forward the process is and how little equipment you really need.
I'm not expecting a huge yield from what I got but it will be all grain malt whiskey which has been a goal for a while.
Maybe we need a no chill BIAB recepie in the tried and proven section.
