Like these tutorial videos. Curious that 2.5 pounds grain one gallon water was only 1.045 also no glucoamylase? So my take is sugar half converted grain wash.
Here is the main link, www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/dumor-non-gmo-6-grain-scratch-35-lb-n9991?cm_vc=-10005, not everyone TS has it I am told, but worth it if they will ship to your local store for pickup.
A break down of the video. Ingredients: 2.5 lbs six-grain mix (cracked corn, whole wheat, whole oats, whole barley, whole milo, and peas) 1 gallon of water 1 tablespoon amylase enzyme or ground malted barley 6 lbs white sugar 1 gallon room-temperature water Yeast (approximately 1-2 tablespoons) Equipment: 14-quart pressure canner Thermometer Refractometer (for measuring specific gravity) Glass carboy (or a suitable fermenting vessel) Airlock Instructions: Prepare the Grains: Place 2.5 lbs of six-grain mix into the pressure canner. Add 1 gallon of water to the canner. Cook the Grains: Secure the lid on the pressure canner. Select the “Porridge” setting and add 10 minutes to the default time. Allow it to cook overnight or for about 8 hours. Cool and Add Enzymes: After cooking, let the pressure canner depressurize naturally. Once depressurized, open the lid and stir the mash. Check the temperature (aim for 150-157°F). Add 1 tablespoon of amylase enzyme or ground malted barley. Stir the mixture thoroughly and let it sit for about 1.5 hours, cooling down. Prepare the Sugar Solution: Dissolve 6 lbs of white sugar in 1 gallon of room-temperature water. Combine and Measure: Transfer the mash to a fermenting vessel (e.g., a glass carboy). Add the sugar solution to the vessel. Fill with additional water to reach about 4.5 gallons total volume. Measure the temperature (should be around 95°F) and the specific gravity (target 1.070). Pitch the Yeast: Sprinkle the yeast over the surface of the mash. Let it sit for about 10-30 minutes until it starts foaming. Secure the airlock on the fermenting vessel. Fermentation: Allow the mash to ferment, checking periodically. The yeast will convert the starches to sugars and then to alcohol. Monitoring: Monitor the fermentation process and ensure the airlock is bubbling. Notes: This recipe is designed for 5 gallons of mash. Adjust quantities if using a different size pressure canner. Always ensure proper sanitation to prevent contamination.
Add grains and gallon of water into a small stockpot/bowl that fits loosely in your Pressure Cooker. Cover pot firmly with aluminum foil. Add 1 1/2 inche of water to pressure cooker. Close cover securely. Place pressure regulator on vent pipe, after venting steam for ten minutes. COOK 13 MINUTES at 15 pounds pressure. Let pressure drop of its own accord.
Exactly, half the grain because pressure cooking cooks from the inside out, therefor utilizing every ounce of starch which is hard to acheive with on the stove top cooking unless you cook for hours and hours which most likey would be scorched. You still have to convert as if it was 5 pounds of grain. The starches are very high with this method. Example, you would still use the same amount of malted barley, Amalyse, etc. as if it were 5 pounds. And no stirring for hours :)
I tried a batch of wheat in the instant pot to add to a corn mash, and it came thoroughly cooked like you said. (Good enough to eat). Thank you for your excellent videos!
You can if you want. I don’t with grains because there are yeast nutrients in grains. Also I keep the starting gravity around 1.07 to 1.08. If you go above that I would add nutrients
I use less grain especially if I am using these small fermenters and sometimes I like it that way. But absolutely if you use 2.5 to 3 lbs of grain per gallon you can use malted grains or amylase and Glucoamylase and eliminate sugar all together. Great question

Nice vid you showed good detail and steps from start to finish good stuff Thanks !!
Glad it helped, thanks for the watch and the comment!
Thanks for this great idea , I have used it for all my distilling process family and friends love the results
Wonderful! Thanks for the comment and watch :)

You really need to try this six grain Non GMO it’s great.
yes!
I like the lazy Susan!
Can somebody provide me with the name of or a link to TS for this 6-Grain. I cannot find it on their website searching 6-Grain. Thanks......

Let me know if you found it.

Awwww, yiss!
I knew you would appreciate this one 😂
Perhaps a dumb question but here it goes, will a 11qt Nesco pressure cooker work at the same cook times??
Not a dumb question at all, if it will hold that amount, yes it will work, thanks for the comment :)

So, why do you use only half the grain? Is the grain so well cooked this way that it results in a higher S.G. ?
Exactly, half the grain because pressure cooking cooks from the inside out, therefor utilizing every ounce of starch which is hard to acheive with on the stove top cooking unless you cook for hours and hours which most likey would be scorched. You still have to convert as if it was 5 pounds of grain. The starches are very high with this method.

Thank you for your excellent videos!
@@timgutter2708 I know , right !! I wish others could experience the pressure cooker just once to see its value. Thanks so much for the kind words.
why didn't you use any Fermax nutrients with your Redstar yeast?
You can if you want. I don’t with grains because there are yeast nutrients in grains. Also I keep the starting gravity around 1.07 to 1.08. If you go above that I would add nutrients
I use it regardless, just to be safe. I shoot for 1.085 on my SG
My wife gave out my secrets
I try!😂
Niceee
Thanks 🤗
since you are using alpha amylace why not use glocoamylace which convert the starch you made into sugar instead of adding refined sugar. thanks
I use less grain especially if I am using these small fermenters and sometimes I like it that way. But absolutely if you use 2.5 to 3 lbs of grain per gallon you can use malted grains or amylase and Glucoamylase and eliminate sugar all together. Great question
How much barley for this amount of Grain....Thanks!!
Minimum 20% of barley, example 80% corn or grains and 20% malted barley. Which to malted barley should be added at 155°.
