 How It's Made

media type="youtube" key="7LwdwQSIwhI" height="295" width="480" The simplest recipe for producing moonshine is by the fermentation of yeast with the help of the following ingredients: 1 kg sugar 4 L water 100 g yeast

As described in the video above, the direct amount of materials put in does not matter as long as the proportions are in balance. Producing 100% alcohol maybe possible but one has to keep in mind that it will also lead to alcohol poisoning.



Now for the real recipe (obtained from ibiblio.org): The Basic Ingredients:
 * corn meal
 * sugar
 * water
 * yeast
 * malt

The Basic Recipe: Step 1: Mix all ingredients together in a large container. After mixing, move the mixture, called "mash," into a still and leave it to ferment. How quickly this process occurs depends on the warmth of the mash.

Step 2: Heat the mash to the point of vaporization at 173 degrees. The mash will produce a clear liquid, often the color of dark beer. You must watch this process with careful attention.  Step 3: Trap vapor using a tube or coil. The vapor will be transferred into a second, empty container. The resulting condensation is the moonshine. It is then ready to drink or sell.  Step 4: Keep mash in container. It is now called "slop." Add more sugar, water, malt, and corn meal and repeat the process.  Step 5: Repeat the process up to eight times before replacing the mash.

Step 6: //Voila! Cheers!! *clink//
