Content: Grains are harvested, dried, and then milled into usable grains. These grains are combined with varying proportions, added to water, and cooked. This creates what is known as “mash.” A part of the first mash is left out to sour overnight. The second batch of mash is created and combined with the sour mash of the day before. Specific yeast strains are added. This is allowed to ferment. The yeast and other bacteria in the mash (or enzymes if barley has been added) will slowly breakdown the grains’ sugars into alcohol. The fermented mash goes through distillation twice. Once in a column still that removes the alcohol from the rest of the mash.
