I've tried a handful of vodkas that are just plain better than what I have made so far. So I wanted to start a mission to change that. Enter the Barley and Wheat vodka! MOSTLY all-grain (there is a little sugar in there too) and distilled on 8 plates.

The Recipe (rough numbers on grain)
17 kg (37.4 lb) Wheat
13 kg (28.6 lb) Unmalted Barley
3kg Sugar (dose at your desired rate, I pushed it up to 1.071)

Cook:
Fill a large pot just under halfway with the milled grain.
Fill pot to the top with boiling water
And a small amount of HTA in to keep it thin
Start heating and bring to a simmer
Simmer for 30min
Add to the fermenter and insulate

Mash:
Get temp down to prescribed temp for your HTA enzymes
Dose with enzymes
Cover and insulate for 2 hours
Cool to prescribed Glucoamalayse temp
Dose with the prescribed amount
Cover and insulate overnight


Ferment:
Cooldown to pitching temp 30 c (86 f)
Pitch 40 g (1.4 oz) of yeast (I used angle AG-1)

Distil:
Separate the grain from the liquid.
Perform stripping runs (I needed 2)
Add low wines and any leftover wash back into still
Distil with 8 plates (for more neutral flavour try a packed section over plates)
