If I posted a request for resumes to be emailed and someone posted a phone number as a response, I know who I wouldn't be calling. Thanks for narrowing down the list.

Glad to help kind sir. I was merely putting forth an effort to help as was stated in my initial reply. tips hat*

Robert is right. A "recipe" for whiskey is utterly useless. There's no such thing as a generations old recipe, unless you happen to be working at, oh, Buffalo Trace or Beam where they have detailed records about things like yeast types, pitching rates, and their performance. And even then....

A recipe for fermenting and then distilling is a process, not a laundry list.

Here--- want some recipes?

80% corn, 20% malt, boom, there's your corn whiskey

80% rye, 20% malt, boom, there's your rye whiskey

70% corn, 15% rye, 15% malt, boom, there's your bourbon

Want high rye? Ok, 55% corn, 30% rye, 15% malt.

Mash it, ferment it, distill it twice, proof it, put it in a barrel. Adjust all the above to taste.

This and a quarter will buy you a cup of coffee.

Sarcasm aside, I'd prefer that none of you get taken for a worthless piece of paper that has no bearing in your distillery. Save your money for better uses. And heck, half the fun of distilling is DIY. Why let someone else rob you of that pleasure?

ok, ok , I felt that a reply was needed for this particular response. It made me laugh three times in the first recipe delivered alone(I enjoy sarcasm in all forms). As for the original question posed as to what a recipe should cost.....have you thought about sitting down over coffee or another fine social beverage and just "got to know" an individual that might have the particular information you would like to learn? Remember, talking to people and giving your time can yield more than any dollar amount at times. The ingredients are fun to look at, but you have to understand the "procedure" that the original distiller puts into effect. As an example...

My grandmother made the best chili I have ever tasted, and when I finally got the 3 ft long piece of paper that the recipe was on, I realized quite quickly there was a bit of a learning curve involved to "recreating" her methods.

My advice is to find a good "homebrew" club near where you live and just start hanging out with them. Those groups are a WEALTH of information on all grain techniques.
