Answer 1

GRANDMA'S MOONSHINE GRAPE WINE RECIPE

2 - 12 oz. cans frozen grape juice
3 1/2 cups of white granulated sugar
1/3 cake of yeast (Fleishmann's is best)
a large Balloon and some strong string one Gallon Jug

First, set the grape juice out to thaw, until slushy. Next, mix
the sugar thoroughly in with the grape juice. Pour the sugar
and juice, into the gallon jug.

Dissolve the yeast in a cup of lukewarm* water and add to the juice mixture in the gallon jug. (*If water is too warm, it will
kill the active ingredient in the yeast that causes fermentation.) Mix everything thoroughly. Now add just enough lukewarm water to fill the gallon jug up to about 2 inches below the neck. When this is done, place the balloon over the top of neck and secure tightly with string. Note! This must be an air tight fit... If you have followed all directions
carefully, the balloon will soon start to expand with the gas,
caused by the fermentation. Store the mixture in a cool (but
not cold) area, 60 to 75 degrees is ideal, for a period of from
3 to 6 weeks.

Check the balloon every other day. If the balloon expands too
large, untie and allow the gas to escape and then retie, but be
sure to retie tightly to make it air tight again. When the
balloon ceases to expand, the wine is done.

NOTICE - Do not bottle the wine before it is done. Working
wine (fermenting) can explode a bottle from the gas pressure of fermentation.
Strain your wine with a cheese cloth or a tea towel and pour
into a bottle, using a snap-on type of cap or use a cork. Store
bottles on their sides in a cool, dark place. All that's left
now to do, is ENJOY YOURSELF.

HOMEMADE KENTUCKY BEER
(15 gallons)

Use 15 gallon plastic garbage can with clip on lid. You need:

Approximately 6 oz. hops
3 lbs. extract of malt
9 lbs. granulated sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
1-1/2 teaspoons granulated yeast.

Place in vessel with approximately 2 gallons water, or more if
vessel is large enough, and bring to boil. Then turn down to
simmer for about 45 minutes, steeping hops into liquid during
this period as hops will sit on top of the water; otherwise,
flavor will be too weak.

Put malt, raw sugar and molasses into plastic bin. Then strain hops liquid through parachute silk or cheesecloth to remove all sediment and add liquid to contents of bin. Stir thoroughly with wooden paddle to completely dissolve malt and sugar into liquid.

Place the bin in a position where it can be kept for a week
undisturbed at 70°F. Fill up with lukewarm water to within 2
inches of top of container. Temperature of brew now be about 70 to 80°F. Sprinkle yeast evenly over surface and seal. Beer will work for 7 to 10 days. A thick white broth will appear after the first 8 hours and gradually die, towards the end of the time.

When working has ceased, take 8 dozen clean 26 oz. bottles and put one level teaspoon of white sugar into each bottle. Drain off liquid into bottles taking care not to disturb too much. (This will disturb sediment and make liquid cloudy). Cap bottles tightly and correctly and store upright for 3 weeks
minimum.

Cool in refrigerator in upright position and pour gently into
glass mug for serving. Sediment also forms in bottle If beer
is too lively, too much yeast has been added or if bottled
before, it had ceased working. Flavor of beer can be softened by adding 4 oz. of barley to the hops when bottling. Color can be darkened by increasing amount of molasses.

Your local health food store is where you can buy your
ingredients. Follow directions and be careful - this is very
potent.
