how do you make moonshine the alcoholic drink that is baned in some state of america?

Answer 1

Making whiskey is not banned anymore. I believe you can make up to 50 gals. for your personal use. Selling the liquor is what will get you busted or if you have an operation that it obviously over te 50 gal. mark.

Sugar , water, cracked corn are all you need. When that is fermented, then you distill it. You can get this information on internet I am sure and to make sure of the laws regarding this, check with Alcohol, tobacco, and Firearms. They have a site also.

Answer 2

Here in New Zealand and Australia, unlike America, you're allowed to distil moonshine.You buy a still commercially. Mine cost US$80 second hand.It's got an electric element like a coffee jug. You can order one by mail order from Australia or NZ. It also has to be connected to a cold water tap. Our power supply is 230 volts, so you'll need a transformer, unless you get a heating element specially made for 110 volts. The cold water is to cool the condenser so the alcohol condenses and drips into a container. To make a brew you need a 20 litre container, 20 litres of water, 6 kg of sugar and a spirit kit. This is a pack costing about US$5 containing a mix of "turbo yeast"and chemical nutrient. You can mail order them from Australia or NZ. You mix it with the sugar and water and keep it in a warm place for about a week to ferment. You end up with about 20 litres of "wash" which is about 20% alcohol. This is what you put in the still and distil. You get about 3 litres of very strong vodka. Dilute it with about 3 litres of water and you've got 6 litres of pub-strength vodka. You also need a thermometer costing about $5. You have to take a few simple precautions to avoid making bad hooch, like you throw away the first 50 mls. or so of spirit that comes off. If you want to know more, contact me. It's much cheaper than buying spirits, and the quality is just as good.

Answer 3

While it's "agin the law" to make illegal moonshine there is no law that prohibits knowing how - so here's how! Take 50 pounds of cracked corn and cook it up with 40 gallons of water for an hour. Let it cool down to 140 degrees and add 15 pounds of ground up malted barley. Let the malt work the corn starch into sugar for an hour. Cool the whole mixture down to 90 degrees and add several ounces of yeast to ferment the sugar into alcohol. Let it sit 3 days until you can taste the alcohol in the corn beer or "mash" as it is traditionally called.

Answer 4

you need barley starch and an herb called hops, but can use yeast instead, then you make what is called a still. you make that by takin a metal drum or can an youi put these ingrediants inside it, then you take copper tubing an run it frum the top of the drum or can in a spiral to a glass bottle. make sure the copper tube is sealed air tight to the meatl can an the glass jar.
then you oil the bottom of the metal can an when it boils the steam from inside will rise up into the copper tube an cool on it way down to the jar an will start to dripp out into the jar when the steamed vapor cools back to liquid. that liquid drippin out into the jar is moonshine. an it will take about one full gallon drum to make one ful glass pint.
but be careful, the stuff is highly flamable, an its very potent.

Answer 5

I think that one way would be to take a whole lot of substandard or 'past the sell-by date' beer off the hands of your local brewery, then stick it into the back of a refrigerated container truck parked somewhere quiet, till you can remove a lot of the water as ice. Then you will need a lot of different types of charcoal and carbon powder to filter out the muck and the colour and the taste. Failing that get out your banjo and set up a still in the backwoods. Hint: when the first shots come off, add a little water. If the liquid turns milky, that is stuff called 'fusel oils' forming a weak emulsion. Throw them away. Keep testing till it no longer goes milky. You should aim to take off a third of the volume of the wash on each run through, so the third 'triple-distilled' run gives you almost neat alcohol. At that level figure on getting about one litre bottle from about 9 gallons of 'wash'. So think big ... (you should maybe also worry about damaging your sight, hearing and liver and going to jail.)

Answer 6

So you think you are ready for white lightning, do you?

Well, to do it up right, you'll have to have a still, a hound dog and a shot gun.

That way the hound can warn you when the revenuers are coming around and you can fill 'em full of buckshot

BTW, don't use led pipes in your still, lots of people went blind doing that. Instantly, permanently blind

Answer 7

Don't! You'll lose your teeth, marry your sister, and paint the Confederate flag on an old Dodge. It'll be the ruination of you.
