First things first, let’s set the mood with a beautiful image of a wonderful ear of corn to inspire our creation. After all, you need to appreciate what you’re working with!

Ingredients:

This corn mash recipe is as straightforward as it gets! Here’s what you need:

5 lbs of crushed corn (milled corn, we like to call it)
5 gallons of water (the more, the merrier!)
1 packet of distillers yeast (they’re partying, and you’re invited!)
1 lb of malted barley (for that extra zing)
Optional: A sprinkle of sunshine and a dash of patience

Instructions:

Alright, let’s get this party started! Follow these steps, and you’ll be on your way to having a corn mash that puts a smile on your face:

Start by heating 3 gallons of water in a large pot. Remember, the goal is to get it hot but not boiling—think hot tub, not sauna.
Once the water is nice and steamy, stir in the crushed corn. Let it soak for about an hour while you pretend you’re a corn whisperer.
Add the malted barley to the mix! This is where the magic begins. Give it a good stir, and let it sit for another hour.
Now it’s time to cool things down a bit. Pour the mixture into a fermentation bucket and add the remaining 2 gallons of water to bring the temperature down.
Once cooled, sprinkle the distillers yeast over the top like you’re a fairy godparent. Stir gently to incorporate.
Cover the bucket and wait! Let it sit for about a week, allowing the yeast to do its hard work. You’ll know it’s ready when the bubbling lowers to a whisper.
After this waiting game, you can strain your mash and start your distilling adventure. Just remember: safety first, cocktails second!

And voilà! You’re now well on your way to creating your very own corn mash. Drink it, dance with it, or even just post about it—whatever makes you happiest! Enjoy responsibly, and may your spirits always be high!
