How hard is it to make your own whiskey?

Answer 1

++ Not that hard as we have been making it for years. Just depends on if you are making one small batch per year or if you are going into full time production as a cash crop.
Look up the definitions of Whiskey, Bourbon, Rye and you will get the basics. the other part is the yeast and fermentation. If you had high school chem class it is easy enough to figure out.

Answer 2

The first you need to learn home-brewing beer as making the mash for whiskey is very similar this part is easy and legal plus makes some good beer
the next step if you live in the USA is you either one need to contact that AFT for a permit to distill at which step they generally roll over laughing at you and then give you a 6 foot stack of papers to fill out in triplicate and ask for a sick about of money and then generally deny you
if you do get the permit you need about 1/2 a million to set up a Small business
or you can moonshine illegally (or maybe legally in your country depending on the laws)
you will need a fermented mash to distill through a it to separate the Alcohol from the water and then age it in oak barrels or at least age it in glass with oak chips

Answer 3

It's tricky and time consuming. You are NOT going to get liquor cheaper than you can buy it if you make it yourself...it's too labor intensive and a there's quite a bit of stuff you have to buy and/or build yourself.
It's a twofold process...you start by homebrewing your own beer/wine, which if you don't already know how to do you must learn.
Second, you then take the brew that you made and distill it in a still. You either have to build your own or buy one, then learn how to use it...an art in its own.

If you feel up to it then take a look at http://homedistiller.org
There is everything you could possibly want to know about it and tons more that you never considered. Bear in mind that it's legal in New Zealand and a couple other countries, but not at all, ever, for any purpose in the US (without a permit).

Answer 4

Good whiskey is hard and time consuming to make. Better to buy and drink.

Answer 6

Seems to be very hard, but you need a special syrup and other ingredients to mix as well, as aging it. But I've been looking online on how to and doesn't give you much info on how to. So I am assuming in a logical way that it would be semi Diffucult.

Answer 7

I know we use to have a recipe for making beer. We made it in a plastic garbage can. It was fun. Not all that great but it was fun.
