Vengeance Whiskey


INGREDIENTS:
10 lbs. Whole kernel corn, untreated
5 Gallons Water
1 Bag Vstills Yeast

DIRECTIONS:
Put corn in a burlap bag and wet with warm water. Place bag in a warm dark place and keep moist for about ten days. When the sprouts are about a 1/4″ long the corn is ready for the next step. Wash the corn in a tub of water, rubbing the sprouts and roots off.. Throw the sprouts and roots away and transfer the corn into your primary fermenter. With a pole or another hard object mash the corn, make sure all kernels are cracked. Next add 5 gallons of boiling water and when the mash cools add yeast. Seal fermenter and vent with a water sealed vent. Fermentation will take 5-7 days. When fermentation is done, pour into still filtering through a pillow case to remove all solids.

GOOD WHISKEY

The ingredients are malt, sugar, Vengeance yeast and rain water. You can buy the malt from any big supermarket, if they don’t have it they will order it for you. The malt is a liquid and comes in a can, the yeast comes from us.

To every can of malt you will add 5 gallons of warm water, dissolve 5 pounds of sugar and add 1 cake of yeast. Mix all this together in a barrel made of plastic, stainless steel, or copper, under no circumstances use aluminum. Keep it covered with cheese cloth to keep the bugs out. Keep it in a warm place till it ferments. Then you can cook it off in your still and you have the smoothest whiskey you have ever tasted.

After you run off the whiskey, it is clear like water. You can color it by taking a piece of dry fruit wood (or maple), burn the fruit wood over a flame till it is blackened real good, then drop the burned fruit-wood in your clear whiskey. In a few days the whiskey will be the color of store bought whiskey.

RYE WHISKEY

INGREDIENTS:
7 Lbs. Rye
2 Lbs. Barley
1 Lbs. Malt
6 gallons of water
1 Bag Vstills yeast

DIRECTIONS:
Heat water to 70 degrees and then mix in malt and grain. While stirring the mixture slowly heat to 160 degrees (raise temperature 5 degrees every 2 minutes). Keep mixture at 160 degrees stirring constantly for 2-3 hours to convert starch into fermentable sugar and dextrin. Filter off liquid and place into fermentation device and allow to cool to 70- 80 degrees. Immediately pitch with 3 grams of yeast. To avoid secondary fermentation and contamination add 1 gram of ammonium-fluoride. Stir liquid for 1 minute then cover and seal with a airlock. Mash will take 5-7 days to ferment. After fermentation is complete pour into, still filtering through a pillow case to remove all solids.

SOUTHERN WHISKEY

One quart of corn syrup per 1 1/2 gallons of water and one cup of honey for every ten gallon batch. Starting hydrometer reading of about 60 or 65. Do not exceed 70. Add 2 bags of vstills yeast per 10 gallons of mash. Heat one fourth of your water to 120 or 130 degrees only hot enough to melt the corn syrup, then stir in your syrup and then the honey last. Pour it into your fermenter and finish filling with cool water to cool it down to 80 degrees. Take a hydrometer reading and adjust as needed. Then add your yeast. 5-7 days to ferment.

MOUNTAIN DEW RECIPE

In making “Mountain Dew” or “White Lightning'” the first step is to convert the starch of the grain into sugar. (Commercial distillers use malt.) This is done by “sprouting” the corn. Shelled, whole corn is covered with warm water in a container with a hole in the bottom. Place a hot cloth over it. Add warm water from time to time as it drains. Keep in a warm place for about 3 days or until corn has 2 inch sprouts. Dry it and grind it into meal. Make mush (or mash) with boiling water. Add rye mash that has been made the same way, if you have it. Yeast (10 bags per 50 gallons of mash) may be added to speed up the fermentation if you have it. Without it, 10 or more days will be required instead of about 5. In either case, it must be kept warm. When the mash gets through “working” or bubbling up and settles down, it is then ready to run. At this stage, the mash has been converted into carbonic acid and alcohol. It is called “wash” or beer and it is sour..

INDIAN HEAD CORN MEAL WHISKEY

Ingredients: 3 Lbs of Indian-Head corn meal
1 1/2- lbs dry malt preferably dark (available at most home-brew shops)
1- bag of vstills turbo yeast
4- gallons of spring water

After cleaning the equipment to prep it for use, put 3 1/2 gallons of water into the carboy and then slowly add the cornmeal allowing it to wet as it falls to the bottom and thus avoids caking as much as possible. Carefully lift the carboy and shake it side-to-side to ensure a good mix. Next add the dry malt like you did the cornmeal,slow and steady and then lift the carboy up and shake it again to get a good mix. Warm the 1/2 gallon of leftover water on the stove until it’s just hot to the touch. Turn off the oven and stir in the yeast until it is completely dissolved. Now add this to the carboy and shake well. After 3 to 7 days, it’s now ready to run off in the still.
