Bourbon

Bourbon--a classic American whiskey，is a type of whiskey made from a grain mixture that's at least 51% corn. Other grains such as rye, barley, or wheat can be added to the mash to give the whiskey additional flavors. Here's a recipe for making bourbon:

Ingredients:

10 pounds of corn

5 pounds of rye

1 pound of barley

5 gallons of water

1 package of yeast

Equipment:

Large pot or kettle

Thermometer

Fermentation vessel (e.g., plastic bucket)

Still

Aging barrel

Instructions:

Grind the corn, rye, and barley into a fine powder using a grain mill.

In a large pot or kettle, bring 5 gallons of water to a boil.

Add the ground grains to the water and stir well.

Let the mash cool to a temperature of around 150-160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Add a package of yeast to the mash and stir well.

Transfer the mash to a fermentation vessel and cover it with a lid.

Let the mash ferment for around 5-7 days, stirring occasionally.

After fermentation, transfer the mash to a still and heat it slowly, being careful not to let it boil.

Collect the distilled spirit as it comes out of the still.

Once the distillation is complete, transfer the bourbon to an aging barrel and let it age for at least 2-3 years.

Making bourbon can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process, but the end result is a rich and flavorful whiskey that's perfect for sipping neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails. If you're new to distilling, it's important to read up on local laws and regulations before attempting to make your own bourbon. Distilling spirits can be dangerous and it's important to take all necessary precautions to ensure your safety and the safety of those around you.
