I set myself the challenge of home brewing and distilling a bourbon whiskey with ingredients from the supermarket. It turned out a whole lot better than expected!
Recipe:
4kg (8.8 lb) cornflakes
1 x rye bread loaf
1.5 kg (3.3 lb) wheetbix
Mash all the ingredients together at 60-75c and add in the enzymes (assuming you cheat like me).
Alternatively, check this video from bearded and bored to malt supermarket barley:
• 🍺GREEN MALT Beer using...
Mash for one hour and add in the Gluco (use beano if going full supermarket) let go for another 2 hours.
Separate goop from liquid cool it down to pitching temp of 25c - 77f.
Pitch 50 g (1.7 oz) of yeast and ferment
I used angel bakers yeast. Its my favourite baker's yeast, but use what you find in your supermarket
Either double pot distil OR run it once with 1-3 plates
Age on charred American white oak. I'm lucky enough to have a few supermarkets and food stores around with still spirits products so I used their oak spiral. Alternatively, look for chopped up barrels intended for smoking.

Just getting into bourbon/American whiskey. I'm extremely ignorant of the processes involving production. I also don't have a well developed palate nor can I voice the plethora of descriptors on the nose. All that being said, I feel like I can broaden these shortcomings quickly by watching your channel. You have an extremely intelligent audience (judging by the comments), which is an excellent indicator of what kind of content producer you are. I look forward to digging into your videos.

Love these experiments, great way for new crafters to get away from the sugar wash & essence.The first Bourbon I made was using Cornflakes (Odins recipe) and it came out great. Next time you are at the supermarket get some Polenta, made one from that and it was a lot better than the Cornflakes and not too expensive.

A common mash I use is 12 ozs. Instant oats, 5 lbs. Grits, and a box (sorry can't remember the weight off top of my head) of family size shredded wheat biscuits. Add to 5 lbs white cane sugar, 1 lb golden cane sugar,and 4 lbs 50/50 mix of light/dark brown sugar. Ran thru my air still three cycles I come out to around 165 proof. Split 75% to age on a mix of toasted apple,pecan,and oak chips, 15% on jack daniels barrel chips and final 10% retained to cut in event of over aging. Cut with distilled water back about 85-90 proof and it makes a decent sipping drink for a cold winter evening.

Ive seen a recipe doing the rounds on the distillery forums for a whisky made from just All-Bran cereal. Thats 80% cooked whole grain wheat plus some corn, some sugar and malt. Its got vitamins and minerals added too and some salt. Thats a pretty good safety net whisky recipe. Nutrients for the yeast and a bit of sugar to push the abv up a bit. The recipe is basically All-Bran, enzymes and yeast.

I've just recently found your channel and I'm loving the content. I tried an experiment like this a few years ago. I used corn flakes, wheat bix and ryevita biscuits. I didn't let it age for any real amount of time, three weeks is what I let it age for. 2x 5litre demijohns with 40grams of ex bourbon barrel dominoes. I can't remember the exact amounts of each Cereal used. I have it written down in notes somewhere though. It is strange how the Cereals really come through on the taste.

Thanks for all the work you put into the channel - I’m not allowed to distill, but it’s helped explain things I’ve noticed in local distilleries’ whiskies. If a spirit still tastes “hot” after aging, even after adding water, and I like cask strength whisky without water normally, what could cause that other than proof level / being too delicate?

Possibly could be they are using wider heart cuts that contain more heads maybe? That could result in more spiky, hot, ethanol in the spirit

I know when I tried to get the rye flavor from rye bread that was fluffy "like the stuff you used" looking at the ingredients it doesn't have much actual rye grain in it and will darken it with molasses. Versus the traditional rye bread that's heavy and dense and gets dark from the low temp and long time cooking making the maillard reactions. Yours came out fine but putting the info out there for anyone looking for more rye flavor.
