BDF EASY WHISKEY WASH RECIPE

Ingredients:

3 kg Pale liquid malt

5 kg Dextrose

1 Pack Pure Distilling Whisky yeast

1 Pack Pure Distilling Crystal Clear

Pure Distilling Distilling conditioner

21 litres warm water (30-35 deg C)

DIRECTIONS

1. In a sterilised fermenter combine the sugar, malt and the water, making sure to dissolve the sugar completely.
2. Ensure the wash is between 24-30 deg C, this is the ideal temperature range you are aiming for.
3. Now ferment the wash for 10 days. Check gravity on day 10 ensuring it has fermented all the way out (FG <1.000). Clear with the Crystal Clear, following instructions on the packet.
4. Once fully cleared, usually 24-48 hours, transfer to your boiler & add distilling conditioner. Run still as normal.
5. Your Spirit is now ready to be cut back to your desired strength and aged with oak till you reach your desired flavour.

For the best results use a pot still. Alternatively removing the packing from a reflux condenser will produce a similar result with a reduction in flavour.

If you’re feeling adventurous, replace the sugar with a dark malt for a richer flavour. Cheers!
