HOW TO MAKE BOURBON MASH
A mash is just that – grains mashed up into a nice primordial bourbon stew. To create your own bourbon mash, you will need some grain. A traditional bourbon mash combines corn, rye, and barley or wheat, so that’s what we will be using for our mash bill. Play around with the grain ratio’s, but for instructional purposes, we recommend 70% corn, 15% rye, and 15% wheat (or 15% barley instead). Using wheat will give your bourbon a more mild flavor profile. Throw both the corn and rye grains into your Corona corn and grain mill. It will take three passes to get the mill texture that you are looking for. You’ll add the barley or wheat mix separately from the other grains. 0%

After you have your grains all pulverized, put 5.5 gallons of water into your 10-gallon brew pot.
