"Lovegrass Bourbon (Teff) RecipePosted January 11, 2026. This is a bourbon-style mash recipe scaled for 42 liters (about 11 gallons), using Teff for a nutty twist. Ingredients:• 7 kg (15.5 lb) corn – 70% of grain bill (mix of flaked corn, coarse ground cracked corn, and coarse ground polenta)• 2 kg (4.5 lb) dark Teff flour – 20%• 1 kg (2 lb) Golden Promise malt – 10%• 50 g (1.8 oz) Yellow Label Angel Yeast• 42 L (11 gal) waterMashing and Fermentation Steps:1. Mill the grains and mix into a 60 L (16 gal) fermenter. Soak in 25 L (6.5 gal) water starting at 67°C (152°F). Let the temperature drop to pitching level overnight.2. The next morning, add the remaining 17 L (4.5 gal) water, stirring to prevent clumps. Total volume reaches 49 L (13 gal) at 30°C (86°F).3. Hydrate the yeast in 50 cl (7 oz) of 34°C (93°F) water, then pitch it into the mash.4. Fermentation begins rapidly due to the pre-soak; krausen subsides in about three days. Allow primary fermentation for nine days total.5. Rack off about 25 L (6.5 gal) of clear liquid. Filter the remainder through a brew bag, letting it self-strain, then squeeze to extract more (adds ~14 L / 3.7 gal).6. Total wash yield: ~39 L (10 gal), but after cold crashing and settling, expect 36-37 L (9.5 gal) ready for stripping. Estimated ABV: 8.5-9%.Notes: The fermented wash has nutty (peanut-like), chocolatey, and slightly spicy aromas. This uses Yellow Label Angel Yeast for both mashing and fermentation efficiency."
