Instructions
-
12
Go to the market and buy 25 pounds of cornmeal, 100 pounds of sugar, 100 gallons of water and 6 ounces of yeast.
-
13
Next, you will be required to collect the necessary equipments, like a few large pots, a large pressure cooker and a coiled copper pipe.
-
14
Put water in the pot and place it on stove. Keep on boiling it until it reaches a rolling boil.
-
15
Add cornmeal to the water. The resultant mixture will be known as mash.
-
16
Keep aside the mash and let it cool down, till it is warm to the touch.
-
17
Now, add sugar and yeast to the warm mash.
-
18
Again, keep it aside and let it ferment for 4 to 5 days.
-
19
Keep on checking the mash and when it stops bubbling, it means that it is ready. At this stage, the mash is known as sour mash or beer.
-
20
Put the sour mash into the pressure cooker and keep it on fire, till it goes up to 173 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
21
At this temperature, the alcohol content of the mixture will start rising to the surface.
-
22
With the help of a coiled copper pipe, passed through cold water, trap vaporized alcohol in a separate vessel.
-
23
As the vapors from the cooker pass through the cold copper tubing, they will slowly condense into the liquid called moonshine.
-
24
Finally, filter the moonshine through charcoal, making it absolutely fit for consumption.
