Chapter 5: Making and Fermenting Your Mash
Now that you have your still set up and have your ingredients you are ready to begin the actual distillation. The first thing that you need to do is to make the mash. You will be learning a process called infusion mashing. This is the easiest way to make a mash at home, and is very effective at yielding a high alcohol content. Making mash is not difficult. All you have to do is add your grain to water, add in your enzyme powder, and heat. The main difficulty comes from monitoring the temperature to ensure that it is not raised too high as this will cause the enzyme to denature and stop working.
For the next few chapters I will be using a straight potato base to walk you through the distillation process. I recommend that you follow along and distill potato vodka first. There will be a chapter later in the book devoted to other distillation recipes, and will show you how to distill from sugar, molasses, corn, rye, wheat, and more.
