Moonshine Base

Materials Needed:

Fermenter: A food-grade container to ferment your mash.
Airlock and Stopper: Allows gases to escape while preventing contaminants from entering.
Stirring Spoon: Long enough to reach the bottom of the fermenter.
Heating Element: For heating the mash during fermentation. A propane burner can be used for this.
Still: A distillation apparatus made up of a boiler, condenser, and collection vessel.
Thermometer: To monitor temperatures throughout the distillation process.
Hydrometer and Test Jar: To measure alcohol content.
Glass Jars or Bottles: To collect the distilled moonshine.
Charcoal Filter (optional): For additional purification of the final product.

Ingredients:

Cornmeal: The traditional base for moonshine.
Sugar: Enhances fermentation and alcohol production.
Yeast: To ferment the sugars into alcohol.
Water: Clean, distilled water is best for the mash.

Steps to Distill Moonshine:

1. Prepare the Mash:

Ingredients:
8.5 lbs (4 kg) of cracked corn or cornmeal
5 lbs (2.3 kg) of granulated sugar
5 gallons (19 liters) of water
2 packets of distiller’s yeast or baker’s yeast
Instructions:
Heat the Water: Bring 4 gallons (15 liters) of water to a boil in a large pot.
Add Cornmeal: Slowly stir in the cracked corn or cornmeal, ensuring there are no lumps. Maintain a temperature of around 190°F (87°C) and cook for about 30 minutes. This process gelatinizes the starches in the corn, making them accessible for conversion into fermentable sugars.
Add Sugar: Slowly add 5 lbs of sugar to the mash while stirring continuously. This boosts the potential alcohol content.
Cool the Mixture: Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the pot from heat and let the mixture cool to 75°F (24°C). Rapid cooling can be achieved by placing the pot in an ice bath.
Add Yeast: Once the mash has cooled, add the yeast. Stir well to distribute the yeast evenly.
Fermentation: Transfer the mixture to the fermenter, attach the airlock, and place it in a warm, dark place. Allow it to ferment for 5-10 days or until bubbling stops in the airlock. This indicates that fermentation is complete, and the sugars have been converted into alcohol.

2. Distillation Process:

Instructions:

Prepare the Still: Ensure the still is clean and free of any contaminants. Transfer the fermented mash into the boiler of your still, avoiding any solid residue that could burn during distillation.
Heat the Mash: Gradually heat the mash in the still. Monitor the temperature carefully. Ethanol (drinking alcohol) evaporates at 173°F (78°C). Maintain the temperature to allow for a slow distillation process.
Discard the Foreshots: The first 5% of the distilled liquid, known as foreshots, should be discarded. It contains methanol, which is toxic and can cause blindness or death if ingested.
Collect the Heads, Hearts, and Tails:

Heads: The next portion (approximately 20-30%) contains volatile alcohols and should be discarded or reused in future distillations.
Hearts: This is the desirable part, containing ethanol and the best-tasting product. Continue collecting until the temperature reaches around 200°F (93°C).
Tails: The remaining portion after the hearts, which contains heavier alcohols and compounds, can be saved for future distillation or discarded.

3. Final Steps:

Filter and Dilute: Optionally, filter the moonshine through activated charcoal to remove any impurities. If the moonshine is too strong, dilute it with distilled water to the desired proof.
Bottle the Moonshine: Transfer the finished product into glass jars or bottles and seal them tightly.
Age (Optional): For a smoother flavor, you can age the moonshine in a wooden barrel or with wood chips.
