SteelB Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 So I work in an invironment that is sometimes cool between myself and the brewery there is a half wall. Yesterday I heard Cali it’s from next door so I went over apparently a brew got stuck in the mash ton. And could not be pumped out via normal method. After determining the batch was a loss the were going to dump it. I said no give it to me. So I got it into a 300 gallon tote. I dropped some SO4 on it to get it rolling then some 927 distillers yeast on after 24 hrs. It’s doing well. Here is the grain bill. 900 lbs 2 row 150 lbs white wheat 50 flaked oats 50 carapils 50 Carmel malt 40L thoughts..... anyone........ . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestar Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Thoughts of what kind? You haven't asked a specific question. Is it malt whiskey? Yes, if it is 51%+ of malted barley and balance is all grains. Is it single malt, no, because it is not 100% malt barley. What other thoughts are you looking for? Will it be good? Who knows?

SteelB Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 Oh sorry, I guess I didnt ask a specific question. My concern being the carapils. As I have never used them in any fashion. The brewer says he uses them in beer for better body and head retention. Curious has anyone had a similar experience and will they cause a bad flavor is all really.

Tom's Foolery Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Has the term "single malt" been defined by the TTB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what the folks at http://www.americansinglemaltwhiskey.org/ are trying to make happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelB Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 No they haven’t. After the fact I did some reading to see what I could do with it after I have it distilled. It seems as though my options are limited. It can be a malt whiskey, or I can blend it with in house product and it can be a blended whiskey , if I age it on oak for a while I can expand a bit more . I’d like to do a blended rye. I guess I ll have to wait and see next week how the flavor is. Give me a better idea of what to do with it I guess.
