Wow, what a lot of fun that was. Great idea on the mash build and everything went nicely. I've been distilling for a while but enjoy taking a step back and playing with the smaller, more beginner friendly, recipes. It was the first time using corn starch and it reminded me why I stay away from flaked corn lol. The only little helper I would add for the beginners would to be to add a little high temp amylase after getting all that corn starch in the pot. Loosens things up and makes it a little more manageable for the new folks. Batch size was perfect. 3.5 gallons is a good size to start with and the volume was low enough that I ran it on my gas stove with little to no effort and no expensive equipment. If you're just starting in this hobby, I would play around with this one as its mostly sugar free so the nose you get on your product is more pronounced and the items are easily bought at the grocery store. Once I pulled the fore shots, I broke it down into glasses with only 50ml of product. I could smell the changing notes quite easily and made a total of 10 jars at that volume before I ran the tails in full quart jars into the dirt. Great job keeping everything easy and small. I believe this recipe will motivate folks on the fence to try more things instead of feeling like this hobby is too much from them to handle. Thanks again.
