- Here we go in depth with a scientific explanation on how Popcorn Sutton made his cornmeal mash.
Of course you understand this is not exactly his recipe but our interpretation of his recipe so please haters don’t hate. This is all just for fun and a school project.
What a slap in the face to a legend..
Marvin "Popcorn" Sutton avoided a 16 month prison sentence by killing himself via carbon monoxide poisoning 12 years ago today (who wants to die of cancer in the pen?)
May he rest in peace. We will continue to carry on his art and remember his legendary life
Seriously? If the prison dramcoms I've watched are any reflection of real prisons, Popcorn Sutton would've been a legend in prison. What with his backyard chemistry skills, he could've made primo pruno that inmates would kill to get.
was really a good move now his spirits free
the off chance that he gets stuck being a ghost at least he'll be a ghost in the hills of Appalachia instead of a prison
Amen. He was a legend.
No that's not what happened
Calling his self Popcorn rubs me the wrong way.
Yeah no doubt!
Annoying at best
Same here!
He's a counterfeit. . Just plain embarrassing.
Read the description. It was a science project. My kids microbiology class in college. She made an A+. I paid homage to Popcorn while doing it. It was out of respect. Thanks for watching.
Boy,.....you sure know how demean a legend. Well done.
Don't cry... from what I've heard, Mr. Popcorn Sutton has an awesome sense of humor.
1. Should have named yourself "JiffyPop" corn Sutton to emphasize the parody.
2. I don't believe Popcorn ever used a specific gravity hydrometer. He did a shake test after distillation to measure proof. How the hell he and other shiners are able to determine the proof from the size of the bubbles and how fast they pop, I'll never understand.
That’s funny.
Ok so you got the bare basic idea but forgot a major component amalays the enzyme that is found in malted grains that actually turns the starches in corn ect into sugars so the yeast can eat them and produce alcohol so with this mash you really only have a sugar wash not a true mash
So what would I need to add to make it a real mash?
True and real Moonshiners dont do that bullshitt.
@@saltyspitoon5089 did you not just read what you replied to? MALTED GRAINS
Very good ! This is correct! I’d like to add that Amylase enzymes refer to Amylase A and amylase B (which are collectively referred to as diastase). They both consume the molecules that compose starch (amylose and amylopectin ) and transmute them into glucose, Maltose, and maltodextrose. These (simpler) sugars are yeasts food source!
Correct. This is more like rum with cornmeal for taste.
Whole up rasco, no white sugar, dark sugar, remember it is like molasses, and molasses is made from sugar cane, long live the legend popcorn Sutton, an I still remember JB, popcorn right hand man, watching from Jamaica west Indies !!
You are making a corn flavoured sugar wash, this is definitely not what Popcorn made. You are better off just fermenting the sugar and throwing some corn into the thumper or still for flavour if a corn flavoured sugar wash is what you are after. Popcorn did add sugar to his grain mixtures but only to boost the ABV not as the entire base of the product.
It’s a simple fermentation video for my daughters microbiology class. She got an A. It was just for fun.
@@jbeaube Kinda hilarious that most folks miss the point of this. Congrats to your daughter.
Ole popcorn would absolutely love this!!
Absolutely Not popcorns recipe. He believes in natural wild yeast fermentation
Kenny Shaut read the disclaimer. I know it’s not.
Yup. He got organic yeast from the hooker in town.
Popcorn was a man among men. His loss was truely a loss of a legendary figure in American history.
I read some of the comments and think... How very sad these sacks of shit are.
Miss ya popcorn!
Amen
Every time dude burns his hand and says shit! I start laughing and replay it again.
Well that really happened and that water was hot as… well you know. My daughter suggested we keep that as a real time blooper. I thought it was a great idea.
ok, at first i was like 'this is offensive'.. but it's actually pretty damn funny and entertaing, bc i watched it all 💪
Thank you for watching. We had fun making it. It was an homage to Popcorn and made my kid an A.
R.i.p. to the legend popcorn
Amen 🙏
Making real shine is tough. As the great popcorn would say, "its harder than a minister's pecker".
rip to the og
That’s funny
God I’d love to find that poster of pappy Sutton.
To my knowledge, Popcorn never used surgery in his receipt
Well that's a little hot....SHIT......I'm dying here. Almost ruined my computer when I spit my beer all over it.
Sorry if that happened. We laughed about your comment the other day while camping. It actually happened that way. That water was hot as SHIT and it would not have made it into the video except my daughter said let keep it as a real time blooper. I thought it was a great idea. Thanks for appreciating our “school” project. I’ve gotten a lot heat from Popcorn fans. Haha.
Dude....when I first saw this I couldn't finish the video cause of watching that clip. I probably rewound it 100 times to the point my wife said she was gonna smash the laptop if she heard it again. Funniest shit ever
It’s a parody for a school project for my kid. Lighten up. But if you’re willing? Send me your pappy’s recipe. I’ll make a video using it.
Popcorn never used a recipe, he tossed in what he thought was right.
Far as i was gold why he was called popcorn is in his mix he would use sprouting corn that was popping. But its just dawsonville talk... also using white clay for paste which usally around the limestone spring water you are using.
Wise words sir
He was called popcorn because he got mad at a popcorn machine and broke it.
Did you actually know popcorn? Because if not this is outrageous sir!
I know him in spirit like Daniel day Lewis knew that my left foot kid. Method acting Sir
Would like to get back those 2 minutes of my life. Clickbait
Haha. Sorry.
What's the music playing in the background and need to know?
Love it.
Good Ole Mountain Dew!
How dare some do that to a legendary moonshiner and man thats very disrespectful hopefully someone confronted him about that
All you made was sugar shine, corn meal will settle to the bottom. I know cause I made it in the past.
The recipe should have some malted rye or enzymes to convert the starches to sugar.
You guys are both drunks and probably need help. But everything you said is correct.
Really wish it was his famous multi grain shine
Me too.
.045 is a really low starting gravity , at least .080 would get ya around 10% after fermenting .
Thank you for your comments.
It did make a 5% final product. 10-12% is optimal. But it was a joke project for my kid in college. Please take it as such.
using self rising and enriched flour?
Stupid question but if your wanting to make 10 gallons i guess you just double the ingredients?
Great video tho I like the scientific explanation. Added it to my likker playlist! Keep it up!
Thanks Kenny. We had fun making it and my daughter made a 100 for her microbiology class.
I know for certain you are not a southerner. We dont call the mountains (Apple-Ā-chins) They're the smoky mountains.
Nice... But how are you converting your starch from your corn to sugar? Guess its more like a sugar wash with corn water?
Of all the replies none of yuns stated something the man himself said in his video the last run. He had numerous different recipes and none of em were ever put on paper. Even his best friend JD has no damn clue what those were. In all likelihood Popcorn had a general recipe he used and no 2 runs were the same. It's not hard to understand when you've grown up around the life and know that everything you need for a specific recipe isn't always available and you make dew with what you have. Lastly if not for the tv drama series I don't have to name 90% of ya wouldn't have a clue who he was.RIP Popcorn.
Well said sir.
How does the starch in the corn convert to sugar without malted barley or added enzymes?
It doesn't. It's only in there for flavor. All of the sugar is provided via cane sugar.
What he said
Popcorn used malted corn. This is a sugar wash with corn floating in it.
At best the corn is providing nutrients for the yeast.
That sounds like his son tho to be honest.
His son even laughs like him
Nice experiment? Might work? But not very good?
Awesome video 👌 put this in the downloads for next weeks first batch of mash thank you.
You my friend are a nice person. Thanks
people cant help themselves they just gotta complain about something in every video.
A mash is the process of converting starches to fermentable sugars.
Without some malted barley or enzymes you can just save the money from the corn meal by not adding it to this sugar wash, the corn meal isnt doing anything to make any fermentable sugars.
Malting grain develops the enzymes (α-amylase, β-amylase) required for modifying the grains' starches into various types of sugar, including monosaccharide glucose, disaccharide maltose, trisaccharide maltotriose, and higher sugars called maltodextrins.
A simple recipe from the Master himself: Popcorn Sutton!
Author: MoonshineRecipe.org
Ingredients
5 lbs of Sugar
4 gallons Filtered Water
2 1/2 lbs of Coarse Ground White Corn Meal
1 small packet Yeast (preferably Distiller's Yeast)
1 gallon of Malt (rye, corn or barley)
Equipment -
Boiling Pot
Fermentation Bucket
Airlock
Siphon Tube
Cheesecloth
Moonshine Still
Instructions
Add 1 gallon of water to the pot and bring it to boil.
Add cornmeal and cook, don’t forget to stir occasionally.
Remove the heat and let the cornmeal cool down some, then add the remaining water, then mix in the sugar and ground malt.
Transfer mixture into the fermenter, let it cool to room temperature then add yeast.
Let the mash ferment completely until no visible activity can be detected.
Rack the wash off the yeast sediment with a siphon tube into the still's boiler.
Distill the wash as normal.
Notes
Classic Popcorn Sutton mash undergoes open fermentation, so just need to cover the bucket with a cheesecloth and let it ferment.
Preferably use a copper pot still for this one in order to keep it true to the way Popcorn Sutton used to do it.
Manage the cuts thoroughly, as you’re aiming for the very hearts to get that legendary moonshine flavor.
Adjust recipe to size of container. Cornmeal should equal about half or less of container.
You just made what I made. Are you messing with me? Haha
He did NOT Live most of his life in Tennessee. He lived in Haywood, Co NC FACT !!!
He will be haunting you forever
Nothing added to breakdown TBE starch in the corn such as malted grain
What was the point of the corn you didn't convert the starch to sugar
How dare tread on Popcorns great name
David. Honestly. Read the description
This is wrong making fun of Mr Sutton this way if you want to do a video don't make fun of people just my opinion
Read the description. It was a science project. My kids microbiology class in college. She made an A+. I paid homage to Popcorn while doing it. It was out of respect. Thanks for watching.
Damn all the haters here. It's a friggin' kid's science assignment and parody (as pointed out in the description). The fermentation explanation was fine (points deducted for not covering starch conversion), the parody was... amateurish but good natured. Popcorn says FU. Who'd have thought shiners would have a stick up their ass.
Well, shoot! Now I'm wondering if you can get drunk off of eating candy and bread together? Probably not. Otherwise, kids would be tripping over their own feet after eating a PB&J at lunch.
Haha. Only if you ferment them. But watch the middle of the video and my kid will teach you about fermentation
You may have said the dumbest thing yet.
He used white corn not yellow corn.
Thank you
Still not a bad video pretty humorous
Thanks buddy. We had fun making it. It’s a one off. We aren’t “UA-cam people”
Well I reckon it's a good beginner's guide. But I would never make it that way
Ofcourse not. But thanks for watching.
Read the description. It was a science project. My kids microbiology class in college. She made an A+. I paid homage to Popcorn while doing it. It was out of respect. Thanks for watching.
Not real recipe u need to add malt and distillers yeast and less sugar more cornmeal a little sugar fine but add malt and use more corn meal
Read the description. It was a science project. My kids microbiology class in college. She made an A+. I paid homage to Popcorn while doing it. It was out of respect. Thanks for watching.
When was the malt or amylase added as the yeast won't work right

Sugar can be used to activate the yeast. Ofcourse. You are messing with me.
pure Mockery of a good man.
Who the hell is this guy? I don’t think he’s ever made any liquor
Gotta love SECRETS posted on youtubes😅😂
Need to run that specific gravity up to 1.120 and let it ferment all the way out then run it thru a still.. Higher yielding mash means higher proof off the still
Be Nice everyone. as far as an imitation of Popcorns outfit, and talk, I would have to give him a 4, kinda funny that he used the same language popcorn used everyday. but he even said that this was NOT Popcorns recipe, but its just an imitation of a recipe. Popcorn only told all his moonshine making secrets to only 2 or 3 other people, and they certainly aren't talking about sharing it anytime soon. but as Popcorn always said, the only way you are gonna learn about it is to do it yourself. In the movie he told the ingredients, but not what amount of each. Yellow sweet corn, yellow corn malt, sugar by the 50 pound bag. He did it perfectly. theres your foundation. Go make some and try your hand. Not as easy as you might think.. I would think his friend, and life long companion, J.B. Rader would know also, but he won''t be telling anything either
He did say all those things.. "Secret recipe". But at the end if the day, mash to distil into alcohol is simply water, grain, sugar, malted grain and yeast in numerous combinations. Commerical Distillers call their proprietary recipes "Mash Bills"
Thank you sir. We had fun making it.
I know some boys that would turn him into fertilizer over this shit. Lucky internet is a bitch in the mountains.
Hey Cornpop, if that's really a "secret" recipe, there's a good reason for it. That's nothing but a hack attempt at UJSSM and Popcorn would have never used anything so laughable.
What’s laughable is you not reading the description. It was a school science project for my kid.
@@jbeaube No, you're laughable for claiming that it's a kid's science project to hide behind. Yes, there are so many science classes teaching moonshining in this country. Save it for Halloween and say trick or treat next time.
@@LordLarryWho what planet do you love on? Hide behind? You sir are a moron. For the record it was a college advanced level microbiology class but you probably didn’t get that far in the video.
It’s not App-uh-lay-shun 🤦🏻♂️
Damnit!!! You are not the first person to say that. I’m from Alabama. CRAP!!!! I spent months method acting and preparing for this role. I lived in the woods. I ate in the woods. I …….well. You know in the woods. But all the footage I watched. ALL THE VIDEO I WATCHED!!! He never said the word you are speaking of…….
It will haunt me for ever. Sorry to all you guys for messing that part up
You have to cook the corn meal to convert starch to sugar, you can test for starch with Iodine. Cheers
Obviously
I watched your video and I do not believe you are using the proper ingredients, just my opinion.
You are absolutely 100% right. Thank you for noticing.
That's more poopcorn Sutton What the hell
Good video but man can't the music wait till the lesson is learned anyway thank you
popcorn everyvone talk poporn recipe, but wich one? there's 9 million's ones, like he never did twice the same thing lol as mark and dig said
WRONG WRONG WRONG.....
You made what is called Sugar Shine.. Steeping corn in hot water converts it to a starch slurry.. YOU THEN have to convert the starch to glucose (sugar). That is done with Malted grains such as barley or rye or malted corn. You can also use a chemical called Amylase enzyme.. This video basically demonstrated how to make sugar shine with a "hint" of corn flavor. Distilled sugar shine tastes horrid
It’s a video about fermentation for a college microbiology class. I know what it isn’t. Read the disclaimer she made an A+.
@@johnbeaube4306 Huh? Did you not read the videos title? " Secret Popcorn Suttons Cornmeal mash recipe explained" what she did is the polar opposite of Popcorn or any legit moonshine recipe/process. If it was a school fermentation process the video should have been titled as such....
Jeez. Have you had a stroke yet?
@@jbeaube Not unless I drink your sugar shine......
I guarantee you popcorn didn't use Fleischmann yeast
did you even try to study and he never had a resupie
Ofcourse. I studied him a lot for the role. This is method acting at its finest. Academy award stuff my friend. ;)
Read the description. It was a science project. My kids microbiology class in college. She made an A+. I paid homage to Popcorn while doing it. It was out of respect. Thanks for watching.
R.I.P popcorn!!
Amen Brother.
Popcorn used yellow sweet corn, yellow corn malt, sugar and water. Never used yeast
popcorn sed when im gone there wont be inemore moonshine he was rong
Haha. Thanks.
Popcorn didn't measure shit. How do I know? I am from his area
Lol... what turned the cornstarch into sugar? You only make sugar shine. Lmao.
corn meal burn to the boottom of the pot. dont use that.
Haha, nice job! =)
It's app-uh-LATCH-un, though---not app-uh-LAYSH-un.
You would not believe the response I got to this…. I’m from Alabama. I wish I had heard him say Appalachian in any of his videos. I swear I would have gotten it right. It was not a Hollywood thing. It was an alabama thing. I hope you enjoyed it anyway
Lost me at appa-laish-un
You know he’s full of shit when he starts out saying that popcorn from the Appalachian mountains it’s the great Smoky Mountains they are Bubba
Wrong! You must hold at 155 deg F then add a malted grain or Amylase Enzyme to convert the starch in the corn to fermentable sugar. What you are making a corn water flavored sugar wash. Total waste of corn. Prepared cornmeal for baking has additives in is unsuitable. Grind your own.
See the description. We know it’s not how you make it.
Wonder how many idiots actually tried this.lol
NONE of this is right!! Popcorn is rolling over at this!
Lmao😂🤣
Me too thanks
Just like 90% of the real O.G. moonshiners, PC's recipe has malt not yeast.
No yeast no moonshine bro you should study your arts b4 tryna talk about them
What he said
Doesn't sound like that's gonna make much likker at all
Popcorn did not use cornmeal.
WHAAAAAAAAAAA……….???????!!!!!!
You are just making corn flavored sugar wash... Even popcorn talked about amylase! PS your popcorn don't even know how to pronounce Appalachian O_O
I’m a city boy helping my daughter in her college microbiology class. The point was to explain fermentation. She nailed it and made an A+. 😊
Post note. Sorry we are from Alabama.
Every Recipr was Popcorns likk'r. And everyone is gonna come up with popcorn's recipe or not just sayin it is makes it true . Makes a whole bunch of buckets . And have a years worth of self rising corn meal mush .lol and you gotta wear a mop for a beard to be athentic .. and 2 boxes of yeast .. at the end of a week throw away the slop and eat the buckets . Yum Yum 😜
Im just sick n tired of everyones knows Popcorns secrete recipe .. only one maybe 2
JB Rader .. a .25 pounds white corn meal or maze to a gallon water .. 1 lb sugar per gallon water. . After you make your slop in your 5 gallon bucket or 300 gallon slop pot .. your gonna take two packets of yeast you want your water at no warmer than 90 degrese .. when it works off Your fingers will not be sticky that means the yeast has worked off .. remember toss 50 mililiters off the first pint .. that is methonal .acetone it will mess you up ..
Well there you go then.
POP CORN GOT PHAT....😳
Phat is the funniest thing said on this so far. We have laughed many times
Thank you.
You could have done this without the whole Popcorn gimmick and I must also say it's a tad disrespectful to the man himself...
I consider imitation as the highest honor and respect you can give a person. To that, you have to remember this is for my daughters college microbiology class about fermentation. All the other kids were doing fermented cabbage and other boring stuff. She made an A+
My bad...Cheers
Where’s the still video boi
Well son. That’s not legal now is it.
Thats bullshit theres just a few fellars that has that recipe
Read the description. It was a science project. My kids microbiology class in college. She made an A+. I paid homage to Popcorn while doing it. It was out of respect. Thanks for watching.
I’m bettin you ain’t one of em
I feel offended really you never knew pop
This video is just bad in every way. People still don't film in landscape mode? I thought we worked that out finally 12 years ago.
You sir are correct.
could've explained this without the whole fake accent
What would be the point?
Parody np
Eh, you all better check your science a little better. All you’re making is sugar shine.
Science? So SOMEONE DID LISTEN!!!!!! Yipppeeee
He never had a exact recipe..
Read the description. It was a science project. My kids microbiology class in college. She made an A+. I paid homage to Popcorn while doing it. It was out of respect. Thanks for watching.
But come on…you wish you had a mop beard and overalls like me. :)
You're off by a long shot...just saying...
Yeah man you should stop.
This is a mess from start to finish
Please remove this insult.
