Okay gang, the definitive answer is in. The final product in my corn sugar wash resulted in a distillant that has a sweet corn flavor even stronger than the ""white dog"" we tasted when we toured the Four Roses distillery in Kentucky. So if you are looking for a sweet corn flavor in your end product, or if you are looking to create whiskey, bourbon, or any other corn based liquor, it is worth the effort and will behoove you to make your next batch with pure corn sugar. I used 15 lbs of corn sugar, 6.5 gallons of water, and Mile-hi Turbo 48. I used Super-Klear to clerify it. You will get a little less total alcohol, about 1% less than cain sugar. I can imagine how this stuff will taste after sitting in an oak barrel for a few months! My next three projects will be brown sugar, a 2 row barley infusion mash wash, and a wheat mash made from liquid extract. Not necessarily in that order. I will keep you posted. Elricko"

"Mtn. walker; I searched all over but haven't been able to find the actual break down for ingredients for say a 5 or 10 gallon mash of rum. Could you give the quantities for rum, how much mollases, dark brown sugar and whether say 1118 yeat or rum turbo. I have some rum turbo and 1118. Thanks Jim"

Brewhaus carries it, but is pricey with the shipping. Most grocery stores will order and stock it if asked. Get case priceing. You can basically achieve the same result by inverting the sugar, boiling it with an acid like a teaspoon of citric acid for 15 min. Converts it to dextrose and fructose which is what corn sugar is. Also, High fructose corn syrup, which is crap to eat but distills well and is cheap in 60# buckets."
