Easy Bourbon Recipe)ourbon is made from the fermented mash of corn with theremainder being malted barley and other fermentables.,ommercial distilleries use sophisticated procedures andchemical en3ymes to convert the starches in the grains tofermentable sugars. This recipe utili3es easily obtainable )eanotablets as the en3yme and then makes up for the relativeinefficiency by using sugar as an additional fermentable to boostthe alcohol production.

your spirits taste like a bakery roll. Turbo yeass already includethe nutrients *no additional nutrients required0 that aid infermentation and can be used with most any type of spirit. 6ert/trand 7restige turbo yeasts are perhaps the best known and areof high quality. They also have specific yeasts for each of

whiskey' rum' and fruit fermentations. 6eneric %isi##ers yeas works well in any grain mash but requires added nutrients insugar type mashes. Wine yeas is often obtainable rathereconomically *try ;alvin E,11<0 and will also require addednutrients in sugar mashes. &ine yeasts are sold in small sacketsso you will need one for every 2 gallons of wash. 8omebrewbeer yeass can be used for grain mashes but they are typicallynot used very often for distilling purposes as they are limited toabout % alcohol fermentations and develop flavor profiles whichwhile desired in beer are usually avoided in whiskey. :or yeasnuriens you will find that homebrew and wine making shops

sell a variety. You will need one that includes bothvitaminsAminerals and D?7 *diammonium phosphate0 or buy thetwo separately. !f nothing else is available to you at least throw afew raisins into your wash to add nutrients.

Fermenaion Temperaure! Yeast works in a very narrowtemperature range& "ost all yeasts will die at high temperatures*above <5 :0 and work very slowly *if at all0 at low temperatures*below B5 :0. Feep your ferment around normal roomtemperature *>$ to ># :0 for optimum results. )e aware that thefermentation process itself generates some heat particularly with

large batches. !t may be necessary to keep your fermentationvessel in a cooler place than your desired temperature especiallyfor the first few days.

Fermenaion Time! ,omplete fermentation can take from 5days to two weeks depending on the ingredients' the yeast beingused' and the temperature of the fermentation. igorousfermentation will be obvious during the 2nd and 9rd days aftertossing your yeast but will become much more subtle after that.The best way to tell when fermentation has ceased is to use afermentation vessel with an air lock. That way you will see when

the air lock stops bubbling entirely. 6enerally speaking it is 4F toleave a wash sealed in the fermentation vessel for an e(tra dayor two if needed before you distill.

ecipes you may want to use with your "oonshine /till 7ro still.
