4. Add the malted barley, and stir in well until the temperature falls to 152 degrees F.

10. Perform an ordinary distilling run, managing the cuts as you would normally do.
11. Cut down the distillate (if desired), depending on the final proof of your run.

Notes

For more experienced distillers consider adding two tablespoons of gypsum (CaSO4) to the mash water.

It? ‘s recommended to perform an iodine test after the mash to make sure all starches have been converted to sugar.

The corn whiskey is good for consumption right after it has been distilled, chilled, and cut down (if the proof is too high). But you can also mature it in a cask for added flavor. See our guide to whiskey kits here to learn how!
