I decided lich'vod RZS to consult SA Harav

First SA Harav see 442

6 Taaroves - an incidental mixture with Hametz

However: anything whose derech is to. be made as a mixture as MURYAS
...v'eino bateil

9.  zei'ah emanating from hametz "hareihu k'atzmo shell haemtz"

12.  "shimrei sheichar" is midivrei sofrim"

------------------------

Also note that midina d'mishnah halita - scalding or blanching -
Mursan [p'sachim 2:7]will prevent hametz and is completely muttar
l'chatchillah. Such scalded mursan were used to feed poultry.

However the g'onim were "gozeir" against this. And Rambam states these
2 levels.

So I'm not sure how this pre-distilled "whiskey" mash works

NB: Cooking is NOT scalding. So putting raw grains in water and then
bringing it to a boil would be Hametz mamash because ein shorin!
