Place sugar in a highball or mason jar, add lemon juice to help dissolve it, then add strawberries and ice, pour whiskey over, and gently mix. Distillers also use sweet mash, which requires more equipment and monitoring to control pH. Using sweet mash is more like baking with commercial yeast. The yeast is added and then monitored to control for pH and for contaminants. The trade-off is that distillers have more control and are able to produce a more consistent product, even though they have to invest more in equipment and monitoring. Unlike other American whiskey styles, corn whiskey is not required to be aged in wood. [2] If aged, it must be in either uncharred or previously-used oak barrels and must be barreled at lower than 125 proof (62.5% abv). In contrast, a whiskey distilled from a mash consisting of at least 80% corn in a charred new oak barrel would be considered bourbon. [4] [2] Aging is usually brief – six months or less – during which time the whiskey absorbs color and flavor from the barrel while the off-flavors and fusel alcohols are reduced. A variant called straight corn whiskey is also produced, in which the whiskey is stored in used or uncharred new oak containers for two years or more. Whiskeys produced in this manner and aged for at least four years can be designated bottled in bond if they meet additional requirements. Official Journal of the European Union, ed.

Crow is the sour mash process, which conditions each new fermentation with some amount of spent mash. Spent mash is also known as spent beer, distillers' spent grain, stillage, and slop or feed mash, so named because it is used as animal feed. The acid introduced when using the sour mash controls the growth of bacteria that could taint the whiskey and creates a proper pH balance for the yeast to work.

Boon County White” corn is another favorite of corn whiskey distillers. It’s a dent corn developed from another variety known as “White Mastodon” by a Mr. James W. Riley, of Boon Country, Indiana in the 1870s. It is called a “triple threat” because it is great for eating fresh, roasting, and grinding. Many of the spirits we drink are unaged, such as vodka, gin, and some kinds of tequila. Generally, we don’t give it a second thought, except when we see the rare “Vodka aged in Cognac Barrels” or “Gin aged in Bourbon Barrels.” These are new trends that have mirrored the “finishing” trend in scotches and bourbons with their “Cask Finished” spirits. Case finished spirits spend the last part of their aging process in barrels from rum, brandy, sherry, ale, scotch, etc. How Bourbon Whiskey Really Got Its Famous Name". May 13, 2008.

Bourbon sold in the U.S. must be produced in the country from at least 51% corn and stored in a new container of charred oak.

If you’ve ever played around with brewing beer, you know there are all sorts of different yeasts with different flavor profiles. Champagne yeast works for dry and sparkling wines, but if you’re brewing a lager, you want lager yeast. Whiskey distillers usually opt for sour mash. Think of this like your sourdough starter. It is taken from the last batch of whiskey mash and allowed to ferment, then added to the next round. And just like a sourdough starter, sour mash is self-sustaining. Its lower pH makes it more difficult for unwanted microbes to get a foothold. Make the tea (1 teabag per 1 cup of hot water) and chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
