I malt 6 row rye my self and store it in the freezer 10 below zero. When I need some, I grind the unmelted and malted real fine and blend in hot water. Works very well for me!!!

does the wash need to be air locked for this fermentation period?

Fall of 2015 I made Apple Grape wine. I juiced the grapes seeds and all and now is like sipping alum from the grape seeds. I am going to freeze Jack this and as posted above will summer at 150° to remove some methanol. Also, going to run alcohol through a charcoal filter before oak aging a few weeks. Thanks for ideas.

Thanks for the detailed instructions. I am preparing some apple cider too. Currently fermentation is still in process. Once its done, I am planning to use the microstill to distill the applejack. The microstill allows a hassle free distillation and can be operated by anyone.

In my country obtaining a bottle of applejack is about impossible, while cider slowly gains some foothold. I have managed to obtain a few liters of apple cider for reasonable price and happen to have a decent quality freezer. I’d like to use freeze-concentration to produce some applejack from it, to have a glass of the legendary drink.

I have been racking up a 23 litre jar a month for the last 18 months.
In doing so I have found that there is a big change in taste and colour.
Generally there is an improvement and anybody having a tasting are
happer with the aged drink.

Hi,
this is a great recipe. Do you think it could work with mead? I’ve heard that there is a drink called honey jack, but I can’t find anything on the net. My friend has taken up beekeeping recently, but he doesn’t want to sell his honey, so he’s looking for a way to make it useful, well, maybe rather more enjoyable than just honey. Can you help me? Thx.
