Corn Whiskey Wine

[Wade E]

There you go and that wine is crystal clear!

 

[vcasey]

Wow that was worth the wait - nice and clear. So what's the recipe?

 

[Runningwolf]

Is that wine or distilled spirits in that carboy. Heck I got to get get my windex out as my carboys aren't that clear empty! LOL

I'll put up the recipe when I staret the next batch when local corn comes in. Then I can post a few pictures of each step (I hope). I don't know why the last picture worked but it did. It's a bit large but I don't know how to change it. So it is what it is. I'll try to send some more now. Go back to the explanations I typed in for the pictures before. I'm tired of re-typing everything if this doesn't work.

 

[pbrblue]

Try again!!!

 

[Wade E]

By golly now you have it!

 

[Wayne1]

this sounds interesting and I'm trying to figure out what corn whiskey wineis - is itbasicallya corn wine or do you actually include whiskey?

 

[ibglowin]

I'm betting on just (a lot) of cut corn, sugar, water and yeast!

I don't have the recipe in front of me but if I remember right it's just about the same as corn wine with a bunch of peppercorns thrown in the mix when it is fermenting. That gives it a bit more taste. I tried both and I think the corn whiskey wine tastes better. When I start a new batch I'll put up the recipe and pictures of each step. I got the recipe from the "purple" book. It's such a pain getting it to clear. That last batch still had a little haze to it but I didn't think it was bad enough to start the clearing process again. Besides every time it's racked you have to add a bit of water to top it off. That cut's down on the alcohol content. We wouldn't want to do that!

 

[Wade E]

Try using more pectic enzyme next time, it usually will remove a stubborn haze and the additional enzymes will settle out with no taste at all.

i may have missed it..whats the alc % on that white lightning?

 

[pbrblue]

The last 2 batches was 13%. I don't remember any problems with fermentation stopping. I could probably push it to 13.5% but I had a problem with a 13% batch of apple wine I had for thanksgiving dinner last year. I didn't remember eating.

 

[pbrblue]

I'll write that down to try it. What do you think....twice as much?

 

[AlFulchino]

twice as much?

 

[pbrblue]

Twice as much pectic enzyme? Was the question
