Your channel is awesome mate! Cheers!

Love both of these channels! Great entertainment and very informative

Wow. Never heard of making shine being legal. Only legal to make beer and wine. That is why people say don't tell and don't sell.

I do the pour over method. I buy cracked corn. 25 lbs 25 lbs brown sugar, amylase, daddy yeast. Heat water to 170, pour into the can and cook for an hour. Then amylase at 130, sugars and stir. Then at 90 add yeast. Takes 7 days or so. Then distill 8 gal in a 10 gallon still. I get 120-150 proof and about 2.5-3 gallons of shine.

Amazing collab!! ❤

You just killed it for me bringing still it on here

Home distilling is legal in one state in the USA, Missouri.

Colab videos I’m stoked. Love you guys.

Sounds like you should’ve hit up your local malt house for that really nice malted corn

I used flaked corn in a corn flake saison last year. Came out dry but delicious!

I love using sweet corn.. makes best moonshine ever tasted

You really need to do this with some of the heritage corn varieties. Bloody Butcher corn is a great choice.

Cut corn is easier to deal with. And it's usually best to do a protein rest, @125f, when dealing with the high protein feed corn

The best corn grinder I found is a buffed coffee grinder. Model 750 crusher for corn.

Jimmy made a living out of cracking corn. And he did not care at all about what became of it!

How about soaking the corn in hot water then mill it so it's not so hard on the mill then add your enzymes and yeast

A "friend" told me... they fill a large blender 1/3rd with cracked corn... then tip it to a 45 degree and it throws the corn around breaking it down but not making flour.

I use my BLENDER! 3 scoops on high 30 seconds turns it into cornmeal. Shake it well.

you can get permits in illinois and its fine up to 200 gallons i think in missouri

First thing i thought of when i saw the headline was that old song: “jimmy crack corn and I don’t care.”

I wonder if a coffee bean grinder would be a good alternative to a mill

I wanna make moonshine but I can't grow a beard.

Ohh Ross, we miss you a lot man..😀

Fang some more in there!!! Chur bro!

My grandfather malted with corn also. I grew up hearing stories of my 10 yo father carrying jugs of moonshine whiskey. They did it because corn was a nickel a bushel or something but whisky was a dollar a jug. They were afraid to use sugar because you had to buy lots of it but they used it to make rye whiskey not corn liquor.

excellent confab

Did you ever try to mash the left over corn from ujssm?

How Much Power does the Pot Use

Is this where the “jimmy cracked corn” song came from?

Fun to watch, but I"m still lost why you had to do it in TWO different batches in two different Clawhammer systems? Couldn't you have just started the corn in the 20Gal pot? It seemed you poured everything from the 10gal into the 20 gal...and then started from there with the other grains?

When making all corn do we need any nutrient with the yeast? Not using any sugar. 2 tablespoons of distillers yeast . 5 gal. Batch.

It depends on the state. I'm in Missouri and it's legal to distill your own whiskey in Missouri Some states have limits but we do not. You can distill as much as you want in MO

right on, Pennsylvania here, we are allowed to own our own distillation equipment, however to use that equipment to make alcohol requires a state issued distillers license.

In the larger one step the malted grains up like beer, more enzymes and better flavor

I'm curious why it's necessary to mill the corn, since it's so hard to do? Why not just simmer it for a long time as ppl do with preparing dry beans for food, then blend it, maybe with a hand held blender once it's soft? And btw, when I volunteered at a county park that was an old farm, they had a corn grinder powered by a large electric motor for grinding field corn into hog feed. It ground it pretty fine.

what was the OG?

Was the secret ingredient jimmy cracking the corn?

Here in North Carolina it is illegal to manufacture "spiritous liquor" including moonshine without a license. Additionally selling or possessing liquor without paying the 30% excise tax will also get you nailed. In spite of that "bootlegging" remains popular here in my state and is in fact how NASCAR got its start. (Long story short) Interestingly, the permit for a distillary here is only $300 which can pay for itself with a decent run of legal liquor. Just remember the revenuer's cut... The main problem with North Carolina is that it is an ABC state. Meaning that the state holds a monopoly on Liquor sales and distribution. If I want a bottle of my favorite rye, I have to go to an "ABC" (alcoholic beverage control commission) store and pay what ever the hell the state wants me to pay for it (usually considerably more than non ABC states). That's pretty much why they don't want a lot of independent distillers. Why pay $50 for a quart of shine when my neighbors friends cousin's brother-in-law will secretly sell me one for $25.

Please post your source saying distilling spirits is not in violation of federal law. I'll wait.

Is cracked corn less expensive than frozen corn ???

Ah yes...now I know how to make hooch with chicken ration.

Why not jusy cornmeal? I heard that was popcorns secret

I wonder where moonshine got its name from

Distilling less than 20 gallons does not require any federal permits making it legal according to chagpt4

@jeremysmith9263

I add high temp amylase once she starts breaking down at 190⁰. The regular amylase works at 155⁰ along with malted grains

I would remash that corn add a little sugar and double up and catch up

Thought I was watching ZZ top or the Hobbit for a minute there bro

Grian whiskey truly is more work than its worth lol just buy a few bags of frozen fruit, mush it up in boiling hot water, let cool, add peptic enzymes then let cool some more, add yeast and wait for 5 to 7 days lol no need to make a slop for 2 hours and clean for 2 hrs... the way i do it the cooling process takes the longest... stirring grain for 90 mins is for the birds and just makes liquor everyone talks about but nobody truly wants lol not a high demand on "cheap grain liquor" lol

Ninja blender works great

Wait I don't get why you wouldn't just soak it? so you can mash it up

🤔 they sell corn that is already cracked , wouldn't that be a lot simpler, quicker and cost effective?

If you would sprout all that grain you wouldn't have to do most of those steps.

Jimmy cracked corn and I don’t care is about jimmy makin moon shine!?!?!? 🤯

why not just use corn meal? Some companies make it without the preservatives.

Apparently looking up foreign laws in New Zealand is also illegal 😂

Guy said all he eats is starch. Metabolic syndrome is the leader in early death. His fatty liver tells me he has at least one symptom of metabolic syndrome.

Why did they bother with a strainer? They strained it, then just dumped everything into another pot. Moonshine logic?

Couldn't you just soak it and put it in a blender instead of milling?

buy a commercial meat grinder maybe $300 save yourself a ton of time grinding corn and you can make sausage with it . grind burger cheese nuts anything . imagine adding shine to your sausage for flavor or sell it as a specialty item

,only in a handful of states. West Virginia was the last one to legalize it, but North Carolina and Virginia will bust you for even having a still, and more for using it.

I’ve always wanted to ask this question. In the song “Jimmy cracks corn” and no one cares. Then why is there a song about it?

Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer. Do your own damn research. So much wrong in these comments. It is federally illegal to distill in the U.S. without special licensing, etc. Many states that go with that also make it illegal to even own a still. It is legal to distill for personal use in Alaska, Arizona, Massachusetts, and Missouri (when I checked last night, anyway). Those states' laws do, in fact, supercede federal law within their borders, as this is literally the main point of having separate, sovereign states. Look into the DEA going after California dispensaries. Even Obama made this point about federal agencies not respecting states' rights. They're most likely just covering their bases saying "100% illegal" because KZread.

Its not illegal to distill your own in all states. In my state, you can make and distill moonshine. But you are limited to 100 gallons annually per each household, and it is for personal use only. It cannot be sold. That would lead to arrest. Also, someone 21 or older has to live on the property and it must be their permanent residence. There is also a permit requirement. Private citizens are required to request a permit from the state before making moonshine. Likely so the state boys can keep an eye on production to a degree. And it probably has something to do with the thing being at odds with Federal law. A permit would nullify that maybe? I don't know. I just know what I read in the State code.

lol making alcohol and distilling alcohol are very different, and distilling alcohol can get you into a lot of trouble without the proper permits and inspections where it is required by law in the united states--not to mention it is extremely dangerous without the proper equipment or knowledge of distilling liquor. you can blow yourself up, go blind, or die if you do it wrong, or do those things to other people.

Your water has to be 85° for you. Still work over a 105. You'll kill your yeast. But it takes 4 days for that to finish for a minute. Probably you see bubbles leave it alone. When bubbles stop-start making whiskey.
