Ingredients:

• 17L water
• 4kg white sugar
• 700g corn flakes
• 20g yeast
• 20g yeast nutrient
• Juice of 1 lemon or 1tsp citric acid

Fermenting method:

• Bring 5 litres of water to boil

• Squeeze lemon juice or add citric acid over sugar water
• “Liquidise” the corn flakes in a food blender until fine
• Add the corn flakes to the sugar water and stir

• Sprinkle 20g of yeast on top of your mash and wait 15-20 minutes
• Gently stir your yeast into the mash to disperse evenly throughout
• Leave fermenting bucket open to air to ferment for first day
• Close lid of fermenting bucket (with CO2 escape) and ferment until SG is less than 1.000
• Siphon to remove sediment
• Strain to remove any solids left.

Pot still distilling method:

• Bring to boil
• Adjust heat input on burner to a SLOW boil (the slower the better)
• maintain a 75% alcohol level. (Using a distilling parrot helps a lot)
• Stop when the reflux output cannot be maintained at 75% alcohol anymore.

Enhancement and aging

• Bottle in glass bottles and add oak chips
• Let stand for 2 months or until desired colour and taste has developed.

Note: If you prefer a stronger maize taste, add more corn flakes during mashing.

We hope you enjoy this cornflakes whiskey recipe!
