It’s a highly rewarding process that leaves you with your very own, hand-crafted hooch to hoard and imbibe at your discretion. The whole process might seem a little daunting, but we’ve put together an easy-to-follow guide that will run you through preparing corn malt, fermenting the malt, distilling the whiskey, and finally aging it to your taste. Of course, making whiskey at home is illegal in many areas, so just double check your local laws to make sure you’re good to guzzle. </p> </div> <div class="clearall"></div> <div class="wh_ad_inner

But keep the mixture just above that temperature and not much higher, to avoid boiling off the liquid.</li></ul> </div> <div class="clearall"></div> <div class="scrolltomarker" data-isstep="1" id="scrollto_marker_steps_11"></div> </li> <li id="step-id-211"> <a name="step_3_2" class="stepanchor"></a><div class="mwimg largeimage floatcenter "><a href="#/Image:Make-Whiskey-Step-12-Version-4.jpg" class="image"><picture id="9f26cbc277afbad07693224a5b12de75"><source type="image/webp" media="(max-width: 728px)" width="460" height="546" srcset="https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/8d/Make-Whiskey-Step-12-Version-4.jpg/v4-460px-Make-Whiskey-Step-12-Version-4.jpg.webp 460w"></source><source type="image/jpeg" media="(max-width: 728px)" width="460" height="546" srcset="https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/8d/Make-Whiskey-Step-12-Version-4.jpg/v4-460px-Make-Whiskey-Step-12-Version-4.jpg 460w"></source><source type="image/webp" media="(min-width: 729px)" width="728" height="546" srcset="/images/thumb/8/8d/Make-Whiskey-Step-12-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Whiskey-Step-12-Version-4.jpg.webp 728w"></source><source type="image/jpeg" media="(min-width: 729px)" width="728" height="546" srcset="/images/thumb/8/8d/Make-Whiskey-Step-12-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Whiskey-Step-12-Version-4.jpg 728w"></source><img alt="Step 2 Turn on the condensing tube after the wash hits 120º - 140º F (50º - 60º C)." src="https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/8d/Make-Whiskey-Step-12-Version-4.jpg/v4-460px-Make-Whiskey-Step-12-Version-4.jpg" decoding="async" class="whcdn" width="460" height="345" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image_details"><script type="application/json">{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/8\/8d\/Make-Whiskey-Step-12-Version-4.jpg\/v4-460px-Make-Whiskey-Step-12-Version-4.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/8\/8d\/Make-Whiskey-Step-12-Version-4.jpg\/v4-728px-Make-Whiskey-Step-12-Version-4.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>\u00a9 2025 wikiHow, Inc.

At this point, the whiskey is still probably 60% - 80% ABV, which would make for a fiery, uncomfortable drinking experience. It should be diluted to around 40% or 45% ABV for a much more pleasant drinking experience. Pour water into your whiskey, and experiment with ratios to find the perfect mixture for your taste.<sup id="_ref-15" class="reference" aria-label="Link to Reference 15"><a href="#_note-15">[15]</a><span class="ts_popup " hidden id="ts_popup_15" style="display: none;"> <span class="ts_close">X</span> <span class="ts_name">Research source</span> <span class="ts_description"></span> <a href="#" class="ts_source" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a> </span> </sup> </div> <div class="clearall"></div> <div class="scrolltomarker" data-isstep="1" id="scrollto_marker_steps_17"></div> </li> <li class="final_li" id="step-id-317"> <a name="step_4_4" class="stepanchor"></a><div class="mwimg largeimage floatcenter "><a href="#/Image:Make-Whiskey-Step-18-Version-3.jpg" class="image"><picture id="9c254c92507ca0c9a44c233802125aa6"><source type="image/webp" media="(max-width: 728px)" width="460" height="546" srcset="https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4b/Make-Whiskey-Step-18-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Make-Whiskey-Step-18-Version-3.jpg.webp 460w"></source><source type="image/jpeg" media="(max-width: 728px)" width="460" height="546" srcset="https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4b/Make-Whiskey-Step-18-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Make-Whiskey-Step-18-Version-3.jpg 460w"></source><source type="image/webp" media="(min-width: 729px)" width="728" height="546" srcset="/images/thumb/4/4b/Make-Whiskey-Step-18-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Whiskey-Step-18-Version-3.jpg.webp 728w"></source><source type="image/jpeg" media="(min-width: 729px)" width="728" height="546" srcset="/images/thumb/4/4b/Make-Whiskey-Step-18-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Whiskey-Step-18-Version-3.jpg 728w"></source><img alt="Step 4 Bottle and enjoy!" src="https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4b/Make-Whiskey-Step-18-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Make-Whiskey-Step-18-Version-3.jpg" decoding="async" class="whcdn" width="460" height="345" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image_details"><script type="application/json">{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/4\/4b\/Make-Whiskey-Step-18-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Make-Whiskey-Step-18-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/4\/4b\/Make-Whiskey-Step-18-Version-3.jpg\/v4-728px-Make-Whiskey-Step-18-Version-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>\u00a9 2025 wikiHow, Inc.

Let the corn soak for 10 days, then remove any sprouted ends from the kernels and crush them with a rolling pin. Once they’re fully mashed, put the kernels in a bucket of boiling water and let the container cool. When the solution reaches 86 °F, add yeast to the mash and pitch it for 5 minutes. Then, cover the bucket with a lid outfitted with an airlock and let the mash ferment for up to 10 days. <span id="summary_last_sentence">For tips on how to distill, dilute, and age the whisky, read on!</span><span id="summary_position" class="sumpos_bottom"></span><div class="s-help-wrap" data-type="summarytexthelp"> <span class="s-help-prompt">Did this summary help you?</span><button class="s-help-response" data-value="1" data-type="summarytexthelp" data-prompt-text="We are so glad to have helped!" data-finish-prompt="Thank you! <a href='#' class='firststeplink'>Return to the article to learn more...</a>" data-textarea-prompt="Please describe what was helpful in the video..." type="submit">Yes</button><button class="s-help-response" data-value="0" data-type="summarytexthelp" data-prompt-text="Sorry that the video wasn't helpful." data-finish-prompt="Sorry the summary wasn't helpful. <a href='#' class='firststeplink'>Return to the article to learn more...</a>" data-textarea-prompt="Please tell us what you would have liked to see in the video..." type="submit">No</button><div class="s-help-feedback-wrap"> <textarea class="s-help-textarea"></textarea><input type="button" class="s-help-submit button primary" value="Submit"> </div> </div></p> </div> <div id="other_languages" class="section_text"> <a href="#other_languages" class="collapse_link">In other languages</a><div id="language_links"> <div class="language_link"><a href="https://es.wikihow.com/hacer-whisky">Spanish</a></div> <div class="language_link"><a href="https://ru.wikihow.com/%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%8C-%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8">Russian</a></div> <div class="language_link"><a href="https://www.wikihow.it/Fare-il-Whiskey">Italian</a></div> <div class="language_link"><a href="https://zh.wikihow.com/%E9%85%BF%E5%A8%81%E5%A3%AB%E5%BF%8C">Chinese</a></div> <div class="language_link"><a href="https://pt.wikihow.com/Fazer-U%C3%ADsque-Americano">Portuguese</a></div> <div class="language_link"><a href="https://fr.wikihow.com/fabriquer-du-whisky">French</a></div> <div class="language_link"><a href="https://de.wikihow.com/Whisky-herstellen">German</a></div> <div class="language_link"><a href="https://id.wikihow.com/Membuat-Wiski">Indonesian</a></div> <div class="language_link"><a href="https://nl.wikihow.com/Whiskey-maken">Dutch</a></div> <div class="language_link"><a href="https://www.wikihow.cz/Jak-vyrobit-whiskey">Czech</a></div> </div> </div> <ul id="end_options" class="section_text"> <li><a href="#" id="printLink">Print</a></li> <li><a href="#" id="gatThankAuthors">Send fan mail to authors</a></li> <div class="clearall"></div> </ul> <div class="page_stats section_text">Thanks to all authors for creating a page that has been read 880,506 times.<div class="clearall"></div> <div class="scrolltomarker"></div> </div> </div> <div id="userreviews_mobile" class="section sticky"> <a id="comments"></a> <div class="headline_container"> <div class="headline_info"> <h2 id="ur_h2"><span class="mw-headline">Reader Success Stories</span></h2> </div> </div> <div id="ur_mobile" class="section_text"> <ul> <li class="ur_review ur_review"> <div class="ur_user"> <picture class="ur_avatar"> <source type="image/webp" srcset="/images/thumb/0/0a/CommunityAvatar1.png/-crop-72-72-72px-CommunityAvatar1.png.webp"></source> <img src="/images/thumb/0/0a/CommunityAvatar1.png/-crop-72-72-72px-CommunityAvatar1.png" width="36" height="36" style="max-width:36px" loading="lazy" alt="Steven Lee"> </picture> <div class="ur_author"> <p class="ur_name">Steven Lee</p> <p class="ur_date">Apr 7, 2021</p> </div> </div> <div class="ur_review_text"> "Yeah, it all works, but do buy the proper yeast as I messed up first time.
