<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica;">A Quick Recipe for Making Moonshine</span></h2>
</center>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica;"><table border="0"><tbody>
<tr><td nowrap="" valign="top" width="300"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica;"><b>The basic ingredients:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>corn meal</li>
<li>sugar</li>
<li>water</li>
<li>yeast</li>
<li>malt</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>The basic process:</b><br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />
Keep mash in container. It is now called "slop." Add more sugar, water, malt, and corn meal and repeat the process.<br />
Repeat the process up to eight times before replacing the mash.</span></td></tr>

(Commercial distillers use malt.) This is done by "sprouting" the corn. Shelled, whole corn is covered with warm water in a container with a hole in the bottom. Place a hot cloth over it. Add warm water from time to time as it drains. Keep in a warm place for about 3 days or until corn has 2 inch sprouts. Dry it and grind it into meal. Make mush (or mash) with boiling water. Add rye mash that has been made the same way, if you have it. Yeast (1/2 pound per 50 gallons of mash) may be added to speed up the fermentation if you have it. Without it, 10 or more days will be required instead of about 4. In either case, it must be kept warm. When the mash gets through "working" or bubbling up and settles down, it is then ready to run. At this stage, the mash has been converted into carbonic acid and alcohol. It is called "wash" or beer and it is sour..<br /><br />SWEET FEED MOONSHINE # 5 gallon bucket of sweet feed (Sweet feed has several different grains and molasses making it a great tasting whiskey.) one package of yeast (using distillers yeast will increase quality and quantity) # 5 pounds sugar # water Put enough feed to cover bottom of 5 gallon bucket a good 4 inches deep Add 5 pounds of sugar. Fill 1/2 full with boiling water. Mix until sugar is dissolved. Let it set for 90 minutes and then finish filling with cool water. Add the yeast after it has cooled to the recommended temperature on the yeast label. Cover with lid--our lid has a little cap that screws on, leave it loose to breathe. 4-5 days later it's ready to run! This is an old-timer recipe and works quite well. My liquor is always 150-180 proof. I don't recommend this for pot stills unless you filter it by pouring it through a pillow case into a 5 gallon bucket after it has finished fermenting. Otherwise the meal will settle and burn in the bottom of your still. Some folks leave the solids in the pillow case and tie it off where it will not touch the bottom of the still. </strong>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543135830203242955.post-42150165193464553502012-12-01T20:26:00.004-08:002012-12-01T20:26:42.314-08:00WATERMELON-ELDERBERRY MOONSHINE BRANDY <strong style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">WATERMELON-ELDERBERRY MOONSHINE BRANDY<br /><br />32 Lb watermelon<br />1 1/4 Lb dried elder-berries<br />water to 5 gallon<br />juice and zest of 10 lemons<br />36 cups granulated sugar<br />wine or distillers yeast<br /><br />Cut the rind off of melon, cut melon into one-inch cubes, remove loose seeds, and put melon and any free juice in primary (crock, plastic pail, etc.).

<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />It consists of 80% corn, 12% rye, 8% malt (a high enzyme 6-row variety will be needed). Steep your ingredients in 140 to 150 degree water for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Wait until it has cooled to 68 degrees before adding your yeast. After fermentation, it is distilled once in a pot still with a thumper, then filtered through a 10 foot layer of maple charcoal (this takes about 4 days). It then is placed in new, charred American oak barrels where it ages for 5 years, 6 months before it is bottled. But instead of aging in oak barrels, you can fish out a piece of half burned white oak from the fire place, crush it up and place this in the container with your product. Shake it up once a day for about 3 months and then filter it through a coffee filter for a beautiful amber color. Cut it back to 80 or 90 proof for a smooth taste.<br /><br />The premium brand called Gentlemen J is aged in the same way, with the same grain bill, but it is filtered through maple charcoal again after aging.<br /><br />Sweetened with a dash of REAL maple syrup (the kind that has a slight smokey flavor)- this will taste JUST like the store bought spirit- but will be a LOT smoother. The spirit should be aged at less than 65%abv, to prevent vanillins from clouding up the smokey sweetness from the maple syrup. </strong>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543135830203242955.post-53414757593486667532012-12-01T20:25:00.004-08:002012-12-01T20:25:38.944-08:00GOOD WHISKEY <strong style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">GOOD WHISKEY<br /><br />The ingredients are malt, sugar, yeast and rain water. You can buy the malt from any big supermarket, if they don't have it they will order it for you. The brand names for the malt and yeast I always used was Blue Ribbon, and Red Top. The malt is a liquid and comes in a can, the yeast comes in cakes.<br /><br />To every can of malt you will add 5 gallons of warm water, dissolve 5 pounds of sugar and add 1 cake of yeast. Mix all this together in a barrel made of plastic, stainless steel, or copper, under no circumstances use aluminum. Keep it covered with cheese cloth to keep the bugs out. Keep it in a warm place till it ferments. Then you can cook it off in your still and you have the smoothest whiskey you have ever tasted.<br /><br />After you run off the whiskey, it is clear like water. You can color it by taking a piece of dry fruit wood (or maple), burn the fruit wood over a flame till it is blackened real good, then drop the burned fruit-wood in your clear whiskey. In a few days the whiskey will be the color of store bought whiskey.<br /><br />I hope you find this recipe to be to your satisfaction. </strong>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543135830203242955.post-1188811161761856042012-12-01T20:25:00.002-08:002012-12-01T20:25:15.302-08:00WATERMELON-PEACH MOONSHINE BRANDY<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">WATERMELON-PEACH MOONSHINE BRANDY for five gallons<br /><br />1 1/4 large watermelon<br />10 peaches<br />1 1/4 cup chopped golden raisins<br />15 limes (juice only)<br />25 cups sugar<br />water to make 5 gallon<br />wine or distillers yeast<br /><br />Extract the juice from watermelon and peaches, saving pulp.
