DIY Homemade Moonshine Whisky Rum And Other Distilled Spirits – Richard Armstrong

For 5 minutes, dump the mixture between two containers, aerating it back and forth. 11. Afterward, you can now pour the mixture into the fermentation bucket. Make sure you have a good airlock and cap for this step. A spigot is also a good plus if you have it just so it’s easier to pour the mixture when needed. Fermenting your mash will require you to have your hydrometer, your siphon, and a cheesecloth within reach. Let your mash ferment for approximately a week or two at room temperature.

You should store your mash at the correct temperature because inappropriately cold temperatures can halt the fermentation process. The yeast may go dormant and waste all of your time and effort. With your hydrometer, check your specific gravity first before and after fermentation just to see if all the sugars have been completely used. At the same time, this measurement should indicate the alcohol by volume (ABV) of your fermentation.

When you strain, you need to siphon the mash water out of the whole mixture. Make sure that all the sediments and unnecessary solid materials are left behind. You can use a cheesecloth to strain your mash water to make sure those pesky headache-inducing sediments are gone. And now for the wonderful art of distilling! You will need: Your chosen moonshine still The fermented and strained mash water Your column packing Cleaning products Even before you transfer your mash water into your still, make sure that you cleaned your still properly from your last use.

That said, you should clean your still again right before you use it, especially if you let it sit for a while since your last batch. Make sure you pack your column properly as well with copper packing.

But what exactly is moonshine, and why is crafting moonshine at home making such a huge splash today? Moonshine is defined as any type of alcohol that is actually made clandestinely. Usually rum or whiskey, moonshine used to be made at night (hence the term) to avoid alcoholic beverage bans and high taxes. While the term originated from Britain, it is now used to refer to these supposed illegal whiskey stills, the production of which is conducted late at night and out of sight from the authorities.

Moonshine is usually made from sugar, water, yeast, and cornmeal, but there are plenty of variations to the basics. We’ll talk about those variants in the subsequent sections of this book. What makes moonshine quite unique is its aging—the whiskey that comes out of the still is as clear as water and is bottled that way.
