What's up fukkers

New Still being delivered this week.
Whipped up a batch of mash for the first run of some likker.
Here is my recipe so far.
Ingredients:

1.5 lbs of 6 row malted barley

2 lb corneal (coarse if available)

1 cup light corn syrup

2 tbsp red star yeast

3 gallons water

Soak barley in 1/2 gal water for 2 hours.
Puree in blender and put in pot with another 1 1/2 gal water.
Heat to 130f while stirring to avoid scorching.
Hold at 130f for 30 min. (Enzymes released)
Add 2lb cornmeal and bring to 150f and hold for 90 min. ( Convert starches to sugar)
Strain into plastic bucket using cloth to remove solids. Rinse with last gallon of water.
Grain solids can be used for many things or trash it. I may make some doggo biscuits.
Once wort(name at this stage) is filtered and cooled to around 100f add corn syrup(booster for sugars, cane sugar works but corn syrup is the same type sugar we just converted so best for flavor and shit. )
Add yeast and aerate by dumping back and forth into two buckets or whatever.
Cover tight and fashion an escape tube for CO2.
Wait until bubbling stops. About a week.
I will be adding corn syrup water and distillers yeast (DADY). Depends on how big the still is.
The DADY will allow a higher alcohol content to achieve. 18%

The new setup has a thumper, flavors can be added here as well as in the wine, beer, etc.
I'm trying to stay away from the cane sugar, as I heard it can make the whisky hot on the tongue.
I've done that method early on, but have tried to add corn syrup and fruit juice for sugar to boost alcohol level in the wash.
I do have a 10lb bag on hand though if levels are not achieved.
She's bubbling away, so it's still got plenty of grub.
My neighbor has a mango tree. thinking bout some nice brandy FUCK YAH.!!! maybe next batch.

Because we don't waste anything use, the barley and corn mash solids are kept aside. I will use some for the garden as fertilizer, and some will get mixed with a bit of chicken stock, eggs and flour. I'll bake this off for some tasty doggo treats.

nice.
btw, GREAT video clip

say, ive studied brewing and distilling and a thumper while cool introduces the opportunity for catastrophic accidents.

what its selling point?
aside from being cool...
