Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying my stuff.

I made a GWR awhile back, and like you, I calculated the original recipe did not have enough diastatic power to convert all the grain. What I did on mine was 40% flaked rye, 20% malted rye (for a total of 60% rye mostly unmalted), 35% flaked corn, and 5% malted barley. I can say I regretted the flaked rye. It took a really long time to get full conversion, and it was such a pain to strain the grains. Great video, and probably a much better idea to use all malted rye. I'll have to give this recipe a try.

Try adding rice hulls! Helps laundering.

@mikebigham4564 OH I did, it was 4kg flaked Rye, 2kg malted rye, 3.5kg flaked corn, 0.5kg distillers malt and 1kg rice hulls in a 40l batch. DP was 36 and I got full conversion, near 90% efficiency, SG 1.070. Fermented on grain, but all that flaked grain was too much, even with the rice hulls... Hardest mash to strain ever.

Great recipe ive been playing with rye a bit and seriously planning on trying this.😊

I did a George Washington Rye four years ago. Kept some in the white, and aged the rest. Did a head to head comparison on the stuff you can only get at Mount Vernon, and I like mine better. They get $100 a fifth for the white and $250 a fifth for the aged.

Hi Cyrus, was thinking, 5% malted barley you said it was not enough power for all that grains. Is there any data on what malted barley GW used? Just recently I learnt that green malt has more power than dry one. Maybe GW used green malted barley, with protein rest and was able to convert all the starches from grain? Just throwing at you this idea...I appreciate your emails and info included. Cheers.

I'm curious how you'll split up the wash for a 1.5 technique! Good candidate for it -- lots of good flavor in that wash.

What was used in place of alpha analyze

Did you add yeast and ferment the mash with the grain still in the bucket? Or did you filter out the grain prior to fermentation?

I fermented with the grains and separated them before distillation.

Why do you need the liquid amylase? Isn't that what the malted grains are for?

I don't need the liquid enzymes. This recipe can be done the traditional way. The liquid enzymes are just really easy for newcomers to the hobby.

When I did this mashbill the SG was so very low I think it came out around 4.9ABV does that sound right?

@@StillnTheClear thank you! I did this on my last run because I ran out of time and just added 2 gallons of mash to the results of my stripping run, 2 gallons of clear and 2 gallons of mash went into the pot, and when I did the spirit run, not only it came out delicious, it came out over 150 proof only dropping to 130 before it tasted like tails, crazy stuff.
