Ingredients
  

  • 6 gallons  Filtered water
  • 8 pounds  Ground cracked corn
  • 1.5 pounds  Malted barley
  • 1 pack Yeast (usually 11g) 

Instructions
 

  • Heat 6 gallons of filtered water to 165°F in a large pot. Turn off the heat, and add cracked corn.
  • Stir corn every 5 minutes. When it's at 150°F, add crushed barley. Mix well.
  • Malted barley is vital for converting starches to sugar. Cool mash to room temperature.
  • Strain cooled mash using cheesecloth or strain later after fermentation.
  • Ensure the mash is at 70°F before adding yeast. Aerate mash 5-10 times between the fermentation bucket and pot.
  • Add yeast, and seal with an airtight lid and airlock.
  • Ferment at 70-75°F for 10-14 days. Wait for two days of no airlock activity before distilling.
