Equipment
Preparation
1. Mix Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine 5 cups of cornmeal with 10 cups of water. Stir until the cornmeal is fully dissolved in the water.
2. Add Sugar
Gradually add 5 cups of sugar to the mixture, stirring continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved.
3. Cool the Mixture
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before adding the yeast. This is crucial to avoid killing the yeast.
Fermentation
4. Add Yeast
Once the mixture is at room temperature, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of yeast over the top. Stir gently to incorporate.
5. Transfer to Fermentation Vessel
Pour the mixture into a fermentation vessel, leaving some space at the top for bubbling. Seal the vessel with an airlock.
6. Ferment
Place the fermentation vessel in a warm, dark place and let it ferment for about 5 to 7 days. You should notice bubbling as the yeast works.
Distillation
7. Set Up the Still
Once fermentation is complete, set up your still according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Distill the Mixture
Pour the fermented mash into the still. Heat it slowly to separate the alcohol from the mash. Collect the distillate in a clean container.
9. Measure with Hydrometer
Use a hydrometer to measure the alcohol content of your distillate. Adjust accordingly if needed.
