Broover ships the canonical home-distiller wash recipes from the homedistiller.org forum and Clawhammer Supply catalogue: Uncle Jesse’s Simple Sour Mash (UJSSM) for corn whiskey / moonshine, reusable across 6–8 generations; Birdwatcher’s Sugar Wash for clean neutral spirit + vodka (tomato paste nutrient, lemon-juice pH adjustment); Saltbush Bill’s All Molasses Rum (SBB) for heavy traditional Caribbean-style rum with dunder + ester development; Apple Pie Moonshine two-phase recipe (apple cider ferment + cinnamon–clove–vanilla infusion); All-Grain Safety Net Bourbon for beginner-friendly bourbon with corn + barley + rye + sugar safety net.
Full eau-de-vie tradition: Calvados-style Apple Brandy (cider-only ferment, no added sugar, French oak aging); Williams Pear Brandy (Poire) (whole-fruit pulp ferment, single-distilled for aroma); Slivovitz Plum Brandy (pitted plums, 21–42 day pulp ferment, white or oak-aged); Cognac-style Grape Brandy / Eau-de-vie (double-distilled from wine or grape juice, French Limousin oak aging). Each recipe includes methanol-safety cuts strategy, pectic-enzyme dosing, Campden tablet use, fruit ripeness notes, and pit-removal warnings where applicable.
London Dry, contemporary, citrus-forward, herbal. Each gin recipe lists botanicals with grams per litre of neutral spirit, base structure (London Dry / Plymouth / contemporary / navy strength), in-still vs vapour-basket method per botanical, and macerate hours. Liqueur templates with sugar bills, post-distillation infusion ingredients and timings — limoncello, cassis, herbal aperitifs, krupnik honey vodka, spiced rum infusions.
Sugar source (dextrose / sucrose / molasses / honey / fruit / multi-grain bills) with kilograms per wash, yeast type and pitch rate, nutrient, target original gravity, fermentation temperature band, pH adjustment, and pre-ferment steps (gelatinisation for grain mashes, dunder for rum, Campden + pectic enzyme for fruit). Pitching a wash from a wash recipe pre-fills every field on the New Wash form.
Open any recipe and slide the scaling control to your fermenter volume (for wash recipes) or your neutral spirit on hand by volume + ABV (for botanical / post-distillation recipes). Every quantity re-prints instantly — sugar bills, yeast doses, botanical loads, infusion timings. Imperial users see pounds, ounces, fluid ounces, gallons automatically.
Single-malt-style whiskey washes with grain bills and backset / sour-mash recycling. Molasses-based rum washes — light white rum, gold añejo-style, dark Jamaica-style with dunder, spiced rum infusion. Neutral spirit recipes for vodka and as the base for liqueurs and gin. Polish potato vodka with amylase enzyme starch conversion. Krupnik traditional Polish honey vodka with spice infusion.
