Notes
Using a darker type of malt gives more flavor and color to the wash, but avoid using roasted or caramel malts as these carry no enzymes necessary to break down the starches.
If needed, add a teaspoon of amylase enzyme to ensure good starch conversion.
Depending on still type your efficiency and spirit proof may vary.
