cornsarnit! in the process of distilling, a kettle full of slightly alcoholic liquid is heated in a kettle until the alcohol begins to boil away. this alcohol is then collected and condensed to form the wonderful aqua vitae.
but what happens to the leftover kettle gunk? is it simply thrown away, or are there uses for it?
There are two things you can do with corn squeezin’s: feed it to the pigs or make whiskey out of it. That is why they invented scotch to get away from this barabarity.
