what does it take to make 10 quarts of mash?
The juice of a few melons. A little yeast and a little sugar.
A little yeast? A little sugar? A "few melons" ? You don't quite want to give up your secret do you!
OK. The meat of 23 large melons 4 ozs. of distillers yeast and 35 pounds of sugar. :lol:
How much water? I make wine, never tried whiskey, but if it's like wine, details are critical.
Only 3 gallons of water because of the water content in melons.
I started it out as a wine but the alcohol content was pretty high so I decided to distill some. Just for kicks, I guess.
Put the remainder up in secondary fermentation vessels with airlock a few days ago. It tasted pretty good but will rack again and add sugar if needed in a few months.
We'll see.
