First whiskey off my new keg still
Post Body

First before anyone says anything, yes, those jar lids are temporary. That was just to keep from spilling it out of my work table, before I get into the jugs.

Approximately 1-7/8 gallons of new make corn / rye / dextrose simple sour mash at 57% ABV, 114 proof. Not UJSSM, but the same technique, 65% corn, 35% rye.

Stripped generations 1-3 to 27 ABV low wines, combine the three, right at 9 gallons. Took off right at 3/4 gallon heads, hearts came in almost exactly 80% ABV and lasted down to about 71% ABV. Gave me right at 1-1/4 gallons of hearts, at about 76-77%. Diluted that to 57% / 114 proof, which is what's in this picture.

Also took off 2 gallons of tails. When I finish the three Spirit runs from this project, from the nine generations, a Catholic that I will have enough heads and tails, plus whatever I squeeze out of the grain bed after I soften off the wash, to give me about 11 gallons ish after diluting, for a feints run. Plan is to combine everything when the project is done, it's about 7 gallons more or less I think? Keeping some white for drinking now, and I might indulge myself and buy a 5 gallon badmo barrel.

I'm drinking a little bit of it right now, cut to about 80 proof. It's really quite pleasant. A bit of sweetness that is recognizably corn, little bit of rye spice and pepper, some faint indefinable fruit/floral overtones.

Flavors are clearly there and recognizable but not very strong, which is more or less what I expected. This is the first three generations of this generational moonshine, and it should keep picking up flavors each generation. I have generation 6 fermenting right now, and I'm planning on doing 9.

I'm feeling both quite pleased, and quite pleased with myself.
