I have wanted to distill rice wine (baiju or soju) for a long time. But the traditional methods always seemed like just a little too much work. Thankfully I came across angel yeasts yellow label product. It promises to allow you to ferment starch WITHOUT mashing OR boiling! How crazy is that?!? I decided to put it to the test to make my own distilled rice wine. Its similar to a traditional baiju or soju, more importantly its EASY to make. After the testing in the video this is the recipe I would make again. You can split it into multiple fermenters like I did, or ferment in one larger fermenter You will need: 6- 12 kg (13 - 26 lb) of rice (I used 6kg of medium grain) Water 36 g (1.3 oz) Angel Label Yeast (Yellow label version!) Method: Mill the rice. Ideally to small course pieces Add almost boiling water (around 3x the volume of rice) Agitate well (A paint mixer is great) Let it sit for 1 hr Top up with cold or warm water as needed to reach a total volume of 55 l (14 gal) and reach a temp of 30c (86 f) Hydrate the yeast in 35c water ( 95 f) Add the hydrated yeast to the rice wash and agitate again Ferment at 30c (86 f) Wait another 3 days after fermentation has stopped then rack to your still Run 3x stripping runs Slowly distill the low wines in one spirit run Make good cuts based on flavour Teddy Sad's Forum Link: https://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=76531 You can purchase this in New Zealand here (use "CTC" as a code to get a discount): https://www.yeast.nz/product/yellow-label-version-distillers-yeast/ 00:00 Intro 00:20 Yellow Label 02:25 The Test Idea 02:55 Milling Rice 03:57 Cooked Rice Wash 05:26 Hot Water Rice Wash 05:52 Cold Water Rice Test 06:14 Hydrating The Yellow Label & Pitching 07:53 Fermentation recap 08:45 Stripping Runs 10:05 Test Results 11:46 Recommended Recipe 12:50 Spirit Run 14:59 Tasting & Thoughts ---------------------------------------------------------------- CTC Glencairn Glasses https://chasethecraft.com/shop/ctc-glencairn-glass Try Adventures In Home Brewing For Your Next Supplies Purchase (Free Shipping In The Lower 48 over $50): https://www.homebrewing.org/CTC Chase The Craft Calculators: https://chasethecraft.com/mash-fermentation ---------------------------------------------------------------- Chase The Craft Shop (including new coins): www.chasethecraft.com/shop ---------------------------------------------------------------- Still Its Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/stillit ---------------------------------------------------------------- Listen To The Chase The Craft Podcast On The Website: https://chasethecraft.com/podcast Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/chase-the-craft/id1489147767 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/39ItzOaQaDx5lfc9Kk0oyc Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/chase-the-craft ----------------------------------------------------- Sign Up To The Still It Mailing List Here: http://www.chasethecraft.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- Still It Tee Shirts: https://teespring.com/stores/stillit Some Cool Distilling Stuff On Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/shop/influencer20170928731 Subscribe To The Channel Here: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=ChaseTheCraft ---------------------------------------------------------------- #still #distilling #BubblePlate Just in case you didn’t realize I often include affiliate links in my videos and descriptions.
