Moonshine is a great American tradition and this guide will tell you how to make it yourself. Keep in mind this is dangerous and you could possibly go blind if you fuck it up and create Methanol instead of Ethanol. If you do this right it's worth it.
Materials Needed
The Process
This moonshine will be about 95% alcohol. Once again be very careful if you choose to do this. Happy drinking. Keep in mind the mash will have a very strong odor so if you can do this outside I recommend you do.
Materials Needed
- Large pressure cooker
- 5 feet 1/4" copper tubing
- A 5 gallon bucket with cover
- Cheese cloth (A T shirt will also work)
- Corn meal or corn
- Yeast
- Sugar
- A sink
- A heat source
- Yeast This must be brewers yeast or you will make a product that will blind or kill you.
The Process
- You'll need to drill a hole in the top of the pressure cooker so that you can feed the copper tubing through the top.
- Insert the copper tubing into the hole. Only put it about an inch or 2 through the top. Make the tube long enough to reach your heat source and the sink and beyond the sink.
- This is now your condensing tube
- Fill the bucket halfway with the corn or cornmeal.
- Add 4 to 5 pounds of Sugar
- Add water
- Add the yeast to the mix.
- Allow the mash to sit for about 10 to 14 day's and you'll notice a tan colored foam rising. When that foam stop's rising your good.
- Use the cheese cloth or shirt to filter the contents of the bucket into the pressure cooker.
- Put the lid on the cooker and put it on the stove.
- Shape the tubing coming out of the top of the cooker lid so that part of it goes through the sink, immersed in cold water, and down over the edge of the counter top to a location near the floor to "catch" the liquid that condenses and drips out.
- Turn on the stove and heat this mixture to 177 degrees.
- This will boil the ethanol and turn it into a steam that will run through the condensing tube and drip out.
- Do this until you have a large quantity you now have your moonshine.
This moonshine will be about 95% alcohol. Once again be very careful if you choose to do this. Happy drinking. Keep in mind the mash will have a very strong odor so if you can do this outside I recommend you do.
Comments
I could see it happening. Awhile back on the original totse wasn't there someone who actually tried to huff raid and died?
That's a pretty good guide there. It makes it very easy to visualize the process.
My understanding of moonshine is that the only reason people went blind and were otherwise injured is because of adulterants and additives used by unscrupulous moonshiners.
Pretty much Adulterants but sometimes something goes wrong with the actual distillation process and you end up with methanol. It's not nearly as common as some people think but it does happen rarely.
Good guide though :thumbsup:
