Wheat mash without yeast

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 22 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make mash with wheat without yeast and sugar? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. You will need unprocessed wheat; it is best to buy this, for example, in pet stores. I buy wheat as chicken feed - it's great for mash.

2. STEP 2

   

   Do not wash wheat, as the surface of the grain contains many bacteria that cause fermentation. It is enough to sort out the grains from the garbage.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the grains in a fermentation container and add a little water.

4. STEP 4

   

   Leave the soaked wheat for a couple of days so that the grains “hatch” a little - they begin to germinate.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add sugar, pour in the remaining water.

6. STEP 6

   

   Wrap the neck of the container with gauze and place in a warm place for 2 days. In a couple of days, the starter for making mash will be ready.

7. STEP 7

   

   After two days, put a disposable glove on top and place it in a warm place to ferment again.

8. STEP 8

   

   When the glove inflates, it will mean that the fermentation process has begun. It can last from 7 to 14 days.

9. STEP 9

   

   Once fermentation is complete, the glove will deflate again. You can also check the readiness of the mash using a burning match: if the match burns and does not go out over the neck of the jar, then the mash is ready for distillation.

10. STEP 10

    

    Strain the mash using a sieve or gauze.

11. STEP 11

    

    This is what mash looks like.

12. STEP 12

    

    Braga is ready. You can start distilling.

If the wheat is not thoroughly washed, then you will get so much head (acetone) that the percentage of ethyl alcohol will be too small.
