can't wait to see how this turns out. I've made a bunch of "all grains" but spiked them with sugar to get the ABV up. if your mash goes right I'd say you'll have 8% ABV.

Nice video, Randy! As a technical nit, draing your mash tun is called lautering, not sparging. Adding water to your grain after lautering is and draining that second running is called sparging. Both of these terms are from the brewing world. You can treat unmalted barley as an adjunct without gelatinizing if you grind it first. The corn is unnecessary. Having corn in the mash bill relates to Blended Irish whiskey in which the barley-based spirit is blended with an industrial grain spirit which produces a smoother product. Pure pot still Irish has only malted and un-malted barley in the mash bill. But we are hobby distillers so there is no “right” way. Cheers!

Randy you can squeeze out a few more points of the low end starch chains with the liquid Glucco Amylase. Just add a teaspoon. The Glucco is not present in Malted grains mostly Alpha and Beta enzymes. Glucco will aid in fermenting it out dry to 1.000 to .999 Glucco works at low temps and continues to convert starches during fermentation. Looks like a solid recipe. After distilling definitely age some, and keep some for a control Poteen / Poitin. As of 1/4/2021 there are 71 days until St Patrick's Day. :)

Garry, any sparge water added will lower the OG. Sparging is a brewing practice for lower ABV beer. Sparging your grains is of limited utility in distilling but there’s nothing wrong with doing it.

are you using 6 row or 2 row malted barley? or does it matter? Is the unmalted barley, also in the hull?

Can I use masa that is used for making tortillas. Substitute for the corn meal

Hi Randy .. GREAT video. In your comments you mentioned that the recipe calls for 1/3 unmalted barley and 2/3 malted barley..... but when you put the mash together you used 4 pounds of unmalted and 12 pounds of malted barley. That indicates a 1/4 unmalted and 3/4 malted barley. Did you mean to say that you used only 8 pounds of malted barley (which would be consistent with the 2/3 - 1/3 recipe)? Anyway... GREAT VIDEO as usual. Thanks
