  • Rheumatism medicine eh!? I like your style!!

  • Congratulations, you just made 10% abv Vinegar.

  • YoU are the MAN!!!!

  • cool beans........

  • BTW I make beer from malted barley

  • so anyway, this vid is BS. the whole point of corn liquor is that you germinate the corn and then cook it under fire to stop it from growing any more. The malted corn then provides the sugar for the yeast "bacteria" to eat and then make alcohol.

    The yeast eats the sugar and poops out alcohol and then you distill it.

    The whole purpose of the malted corn is to provide sugar for the yeast.

    Thats what makes the booze.

    Additional sugar should be minimal

    RIP Popcorn

  • @Trash732 But you've only made beer so you don't know for sure..

  • @Trash732 well i am from eastern kentucky grew up around moonshine all my life.and i can tell you there are different ways to make it and everybody has their own preferences.i dont know where you heard that the sugar should be minimal if you sprout your corn thats bs.you also dont have to add yeast to make mash it just speeds up the process.but yhe true old timers just use sugar sprouted corn and water thats it.

  • @kycuntry making alcohol without adding yeast???!!! impressive. 

  • @Trash732 yep thats what i said.adding yeast makes it work in about 3 days not adding yeast takes about seven days to work but makes a better product.now turn you computer off! get out in the real world, and learn something hands on then you will know what you are talking about. have a good day!

  • would you be able to use bakers yeast instead of fermentation specific yeast?

  • @Ready2Run1

     yes, baker's yeast would work. brewer's yeast for making beer is used because it is slower acting and produces less "off" flavors. Probably less important when making moonshine. I've only made beer, so I don't know for sure.

  • @Ready2Run1 yes

  • Do you run it more than once?

  • this is the most entertaining video ive ever seen. YEEHAW POPCORN LIVES!!

  • does it smell while it is fermenting?

  • lol im not a avid moonshiner, but i know for a fact you have got to cook the mash before you add the yeast,so the corn is broken down for fermentation, all he is really making or anyone for that fact that isnt cookin there mash first is just making sugar booze,in which that case you dont need corn or any grain for that matter.these guys would make a tasty booze if only they did it the right way

  • Is the Trash Can, Water Hose & ALUMINUM Yeast Pan Sterlized?

    Im feeling Woozy already!

  • @ChemTrailSkys It doesn't need to be, when your mash is made you distill it.. It basically boils.

  • Sorry guys I ment Wine and Beer! Moonshine is permit only! I need to read what I post ; )

    I'm doing 200 gallons a week of spirits for fuel to blend with 15% ragular fuel with a permit. It's real easy to get and you have to use the fuel for YOUR vehicle only. I'm at $1.26 a gallon right now. The should only be used in flex fuel vehicles only due to the water atraction of alcohol. Thanks Ironhead41 for catching my typo.

  • its legal to make it, it's illegal to sell it. 100 gallons per house hold here in GA.

  • @medicbr549 go to atf.gov......then comment

  • @ironhead41 laws come from the people. not "governments". governments are groups of people who get together when needed to protect non rights violating citizens from other rights violating citizens. what right does it violate of someone else to make or sell whiskey? none. all government does is create criminals and violence out of, otherwise, non violent people; by forcing them to protect their own property when they threaten to take it or cage them for owning or selling things.

  • what why numnuts?

  • @ironhead41 where I live in Tennessee it is legal to make and distribute as long as you have a tax sticker on each jar, these are sold at the court house with a pamphlet on staying legal

  • Comment removed

  • @medicbr549 u cant sitill anything got to have a liscensce to manufacture. wine and beer is legal 100 gal wine.

  • Nice Job, wish I could have a taste

    God Bless

    Dan

  • can you just use suger or just corn serup with the yeast ????

  • Mmm, tasty hose water.

  • Comment removed

  • Where are you buying 50 pounds of deer corn for $6.50? Down here in South Alabama we are having to pay $13-$14 a sack.

  • Dis har is good fer fewture proostat problems and kidknee fections afta a fue yars!

  • You need to sprout your corn...well, that's the way my grandfather did it.

  • @backyardsounds some do to realeas more natural sugars......but im not making a malt......

  • @ironhead41 yeah but that's the point, you want to change that starch to sugar and get more alcohol! That first run off, - woooo! It'll knock you on your arse.

  • Very good vid but I dont know way throughout the whole video I keep saying GETRRRRRRR DOOOOOOONE looool

  • I want to see this guys still. Also how he destills! Total character.

  • is well water ok to use or do it have to be distill water

  • Good video

  • This isn't really corn mash. Real corn mash doesn't require any sugar to be added. For the real stuff, you use a lot more corn, and no added sugar. You process the corn in such a way to convert the starches in the corn into sugars. Making it the real way only costs a few cents per gallon. This sugar mash of yours will make alcohol, but it will never taste like real moonshine. Ah; and using city water will only lower your alcohol yield in the best cases, and prevent fermentation at the worst.

  • I made just a cup full of this..I didnt bust open the corn but its starting to smell right..it hadnt been sittin long enough yet but its goona be a good one (: thanks for the video

  • *now i know* and i made the mash before watching this video.

  • Thanks alot, this video is very helpfull. ALOT easier to follow than 90% of the other tutorials on making mash. just made my first attempt .. it sucked and not i know what i did wrong. Thanks again

  • What if you used ground up fruit instead of corn?

    Do you still need sugar?

    Will it work??

  • @GlassByThaddeus probably a good idea depending upon what fruit your using and how much

  • It would be much easier to buy cracked corn wouldn't it?

  • @flagwaver1969 yeah its easy but whole corn is 1/3 the price

  • That hosepipe water will ruin the liquor.

  • How much corn did you add? I couldnt understand you. It almost sounded like you said 50 pounds. But it didnt look like 50 pounds going into the sugar water. My father-in-law makes homemade tequila down in mexico, and we already got the still and all, but Ive been wanting to make some whisky or moonshine down there. I think there is a market for it.

  • after this is done, do you put it through a still?

  • Yes this is all well and good but where the heck is the air lock on the trash can lid? You want to let out that carbon dioxide don't you?

  • @Ncharlestun no air lock needed cause its done usually in 10 days

  • @ironhead41 If it is all sealed up then what happens to the CO2 after the yeast reaction? Don't you have to let out the CO2 and keep air locked out? I am trying to gather all this in for when I begin gathering materials. Everyone on here has air locks during fermentation except your system. It seems like the lid would blow off without an air lock to evacuate CO2. Your explanation of it being "done usually in 10 days" does not explain why an air lock is not needed on your sealed container.Thanks

  • @Ncharlestun the lid is not even needed...i just use the lid to keep flies and moths out.......the lid doesnt seal 100% anyway......i know a guy that that doesnt use a lid and pours flies, moths and beetles right in the "seperator".........true....lo­l

  • @Ncharlestun what about your well water wudnt it kill the yeast straight from the ground

  • @Ncharlestun lol that container aint air tight dah

  • @Ncharlestun not to mention its not a food grade barrel and is leaching deadly cemicals into ur booze

  • @Ncharlestun dork

  • @imzardoz s.o.b. 

  • Genuine double rectified Bust Head

  • @ExtremePeppers I would have to agree with you sir.

  • @ExtremePeppers have you tried jack Daniels? they have the same taste. It even says sour mash on the bottle!

  • when u do a big batch do u need a breather

  • try some corn meal brother, taste better but u gota syphon it out when ur ready to run after its all settled to the bottom

  • how did you activate the yeast before hand?

  • hold 7

  • Sanitation? Turbo yeast will get you up to 23-23% if you have an adequate starting gravity. Cracked corn needs to be boiled to dissolve the cellulose to expose the starch. A few pounds of six row Briess at 152 deg will give you enough amylase to convert it's self and the corn starch. I like the corn flavor myself in spirits but I want to utilize all the sugars it has also.

  • @BrentRF Turbo yeast turns out a shit product. Good for cars. Bad for sales ;) ;)

  • if you make 5 gallons, only 10-15 percent is pure ethanol... so if my math is right from 5 gal you got 0.5 gal of ethanol, which is 10$/gal or 5$/l... not very efficient or cheap i d say... dunno if this is for drinking or driving though :D

  • @gigi172 that pail is 30 gallons

  • @gigi172 he should expect 30 gallons of 15% alc which is 5 gallond of 90% alc. you can dilute it to taste at around 10 gallons of 40%, that will prolly cost you a grand at the liquor store. idk i never bought 10 gallos of alcohol at once but you can make it cheap!

  • dear god my mission will start soon

    live in pa so i gotta wait acouple more weeks before i can start cuz im not doin that in my house and it will frezze outside at the momment

  • i love this dude :D

  • Well I do believe this is gonna make some good headache producing quick shine.

    If you want to make some good shine fellers don't use store bought yeast. Take some whole kernel malt corn put it in a bag and set it in a warm creek for two to three days. If ya can pour some warm water on it come evening. Git yourself some sprouts growin and then mash your mash darn it.

  • by malting your just cracking correct? you dont sprout or cook or anything?

  • Ironhead.. How would someone go about learning how to finish this good ol medicine?

  • HERE COMES THE REVENUERS!

  • Why even put the corn in there. You'd have the same ferment with just the sugar.

  • 5 gallons for 10 bucks...so a 50 gallon run would require 60 lbs corn and 200lbs sugar? what proof are you getting?..

  • @centervilletn depends on howmany times you run it and how.....

  • You missed a very important step! Malting (sprouting) the corn. AKA craked corn.

  • ummm, as a homebrewer, i was wondering how you were able to get the starch out of the corn to convert to something the yeast can eat? did you add an enzyme, or did you end up with a bunch of rotten corn in your sugar wine?

  • @svrichard81 the corn will begin to rot after day 10......it will vinegar......

  • @svrichard81 DID YOU MISS THE 20LB OF SUGAR? AS A HOMEBREWER, THE EXTRA SUGAR WAS FOR VOLUME, THE CORN FOR TASTE

  • @bubbajeasy1 i did call it sugar wine...if you don't malt some of the corn, then it will just be a carbohydrate that the yeast cannot eat, so by malting some of it, you will get an enzyme out of it that will convert the rest of the carbohydrates into sugars that the yeast can eat and produce alcohol. i hope this doesn't make me seem mean, i was just trying to figure out what this guy was doing, i think it's brave that he is making mash for the world to see

  • @svrichard81 I remember reading somewhere that if you add some malted barley, it will help the corn convert the carbs into sugars. I think that's why they use Rye in some of the whiskeys. 

  • @svrichard81 I use 6 row and wheat, corn sugar mash with aa...I use carboys not dirty plastic lol....some ppl straight ghetto...4 year homebrewer...2 year distiller...this guy has a limited information....maybe during the winter I'll post a video

  • @svrichard81 I think that's why you are supposed to sprout it first, to turn the starches into sugar.

  • @scottnsuzs you're right, but as you can see here the corn whole unmalted, you would have to add enzymes to get the starch to convert to a useable"fermentable" product for the yeast. what he is showing in the video would cause someone to make a nasty sugar wash with hints of rotten corn and after distilling it it would not be very good.

  • If I use a 5 gal. glass, or plastic water container, like the one you used for your apple cider, how much yeast shoud I use for one of them? How is the corn mash doing with those 6 packs of yeast you used? Thanks for the video!

  • I know all about that my friend haha this is a lot less noticeable though

  • Dang Bo. I got to try this! So you don't need no still? When I saw mash I just thought it was a recipe but this Is a good process. Lot more efficent too.

  • @lynyrdskynyrd95 there is another process......

  • @lynyrdskynyrd95 this is what gives you stuff to put in the still. Its probably up to 15% alcohol at most. The still doesn't make the alcohol, it just takes it from the mash and condenses it.

  • Not to be pestering you but I'm really curious. How is this turning out?

  • @VivianRinSC its comming good......checked it yesturday...its ready.......i wont have time til tomorrow night or monday to finish.......ill vid parts of it......

  • Yeah! I agree with Vivian - where's our update, Mr. WhiskeyMeister? ;-))

  • It's 10 days today... ☺

  • @VivianRinSC its gonna take a couple more days.......all the extra sugar i put in it...its not done.....

  • @ironhead41 Drat! I have to wait more. lol

  • I want some of the finished results. :)

  • awesome

  • Good job Ironhead, like your get it done style,I use a 55 gal drum with 80 lbs of brown sugar,2 bottles of molassess and pitch 1.25lbs of dry yeast,the (medicine)is usally top shelf.keep up the good work my friend.

  • @passintyme1 good job too you......i love your ingredients.........just too pricey for me.....im cheap and easy.....lol....

  • you makin shine or wine? haha

  • @fenderpaman16 wine of course...hahaha

  • @fenderpaman16 hahaha damn I wanna know how shine is made lol Isnt it legal to make shine just not selling it?

  • @fenderpaman16 making shine in america is illegal......

  • @ironhead41 oh well only cause uncle sam cant get their cut of the tax haha. I'll make it anyway lol

  • you sending me sum right?

  • Timely vid, my friend....timely. My roomatizm is kickin' up lately.

  • I stand with Arizona.

  • looks good, I will have to give that a go

  • Thanks Ironhead. I really wonder if people realize what valuable information you are giving them. This is good information. Even if you don't drink alcohol, this is good to know! Old fashioned ways need to be practiced. Thank you so much for what you do. Noreen.

  • That's regular baking yeast? Other grains can be used instead of corn? I have some roasted barley I would love to get some use out of. Smaller quantities, of course. I used to own a grinder just like that and I learned quick to not try to grind corn in it. WOW, serious impressed with getting that corn ground with it. I have a much smaller manual grinder that's not good for corn grinding either. Could I use cracked corn like the kind for chicken feed?

  • In SHTF situations, this is an important thing to know. I've been debating buying some strong liquors for medical emergencies but would rather making my own. Thanks for the instructions. Do you leave the barrel out in the sun? Does the temperature matter during the 10 days? Wondering if this can be done in the colder months.

  • @VivianRinSC ill leave it out or a day or two to warm up......spicket water is cold.....then ill drag it into the building

  • @VivianRinSC you can use cracked corn.....as long as it doesnt have any other meal in it....

  • Better living through chemistry. =^[.]^=

  • Can't wait to see the finished product.

  • you might up the alc. if you sprout the corn first

  • @Krylon103112 Presprouted would definitely be easier for me to mash up. More nutritious this way? lol Or does that matter? lol

  • @Krylon103112 ive never sprouted the corn......ive heard about it......i like things easy.....ill get plenty out of this........

  • how strong is that stuff?

  • @pinetar100 as strong as you want to make........depends on how many times you run it thru a "seperater"

  • That's easier than my apple jack !

  • LOL. Man, don't let us down, now. Progress vid in 2 days? ;-)

  • @nameofthepen ok.....10 days.....

  • You sir, Get ur done. Thanks for another good one.

  • Ironhead you have to finish this. Gonna do anything on distilling?

  • @ironhead41 great information once again brother I learn so much watchin your vids !! Keep up the great work !!!

  • I knew you were gonna finish that lighter fluid vid sooner or later.

  • Rocket Fuel..

  • @THEBUBBAEFFECT Pruno, lol

  • @MrPavee Been awhile sense I have heard that word..lol

  • thats what we want WL nice

  • Boy are my ole joints hurtin bout now...... can't wait for this batch!!!!!!

  • Interesting. Can that grinder grind wheat into flour?

  • @Iwillbedurnd yes......

  • Your videos are always very informative.5*'s.

  • is there part 2 please?

  • What's the purpose of keeping bay leaves in the stored sugar?

  • @hunt1803 To keep the bugs out

  • make sure that corn isnt treated with fungicides or some type of pesticide

  • yum
