what ingred's are need to make moonshine,cooking temp stuff like that?

Answer 1

I wouldn't attempt it, myself. Private stills have a habit of exploding catastrophically and seriously maiming or killing everyone in the vicinity.

Liquor's some pretty volatile stuff. You should probably leave the distilling of it to professionals who have all the equipment to do it safely.

Answer 2

Here in NZ and Australia we're allowed to distill our own spirits using a ready-made still which costs about US$200, sugar and a packet of yeast and nutrients costing about US$4. I make my own vodka. To make 6 litres of vodka requires 8 kg sugar, a packet of yeast and nutrients and 20 litres of water. You let it ferment in a warm place for a few days then distill it with the still, which needs to be plugged into the electricity supply and connected to a cold tap for cold water for the condenser. If you want more details, my address is [e-mail]. My friend runs a business supplying everything you'll need. He is Pete Sayers, The Brewer's Barn, 291 Dee St., Invercargill, NZ. Phone [phone]. He can sell you an instruction book too. Far as I know you're allowed to buy your supplies by airmail. The heater in the still is designed to run on 230 volts. It's like the heater in a hot water jug. I don't know if the manufacturer makes 110 volt versions. You'll need to take some simple precautions to avoid contaminating your hooch with methanol. But be sure to use proper commercial equipment, sugar and spirit kit. It's easy to poison yourself with homemade materials, that's why home distilling is illegal in most countries. You'll need a few accessories too like a thermometer and filter, but the total cost of the still and everything else to get started is about US$300, plus a packet of special yeast and nutrients (starter kit) for each 6 litre brew plus the sugar which you can buy at home plus shipping for the still etc. email me for further information.

Answer 3

There are way to many factors to answer this easy. Pick up a copy of "The Alaskan Bootleggers Bible". Remember that private use of a distillery is illegal in the US. It really can be rather dangerous.
