I got mine from a feed store online which you can see the details in the picture, I'm in the UK so this was the only place I could get it.Įquipment Scales Cooking thermometer / Probe 2 X 25L Fermenter with Airlock, optional temperature probe a wooden cooking spoon an extra long spoon a Pot Still, Ideally a copper one if you have one, but they are expensive to build do I just have a copper column on a stainless steel boiler. The ingredients for the mash Cracked Corn also known as kibbled corn or kibbled maize. For those who want further reading on home distilling, you cant go wrong with The Home Distillers Workbook, you can get it here they often pop stuff up on their facebook page here. I would also like to thank the help of the guys over at forums who pointed me in the right direction now and then when I got stuck.
And i don't even drink the stuff! You don't have to spend a lot of money your self to make it, the ingredients and the process does not cost a lot if you have the equipment already, but I had to do a few runs and I spent a fair bit extra to put it in nice bottles and present it well which can be great for gifts.
This instructable is the result of a few months of research, over 2 months of experimenting, a botched attempt or 2 and a fair sum of money just to get it right. Well except the video on charcoal which went weird at the beginning because of youtubes codecs for some reason. Just a bit of a heads up because I wanted to document this so well I have taken tons of pictures, so there is a lot of images but I am hoping that wont be a bad thing as they are all good quality. Thanks to that information I have gathered I have come up with a way to produce this my self at home as close to how they make it as is practically possible for my self. There is a lot of information from peoples how to recipes for bourbon or Tennessee Whiskey but I wanted JD so I spent over a month most of my evenings looking in to how to make it and trying to find as much information about JD's actual method and I found various articles and video snippets with fragments of information from people who work at the JD Distillery.
The point is I was looking for a project to keep me busy and even though I don't drink JD my self I thought I would have a stab at making it my self just for the challenge. A lot of my friends drink Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey and I already have built a still, the for how I built it, you will need one like this which is a Pot Still. I wanted to make Tennessee Whiskey and Kentucky Bourbon is not much different its just a slightly different recipe and you miss out one of the steps that you would use when making the Tennessee Whiskey.
