How to make moon shine?
Answers:
Moonshine is any illegally made distilled spirit. In the US, *ALL* distilling at home is illegal, so any spirit made at home is technically "moonshine."
In New Zealand and a handful of European countries, home distilling *is* legal. Assuming you're in NZ, here's all you could possibly want to know (and more) about distilling at home:

go the the southeastern united states and visit some one in prison if they dont know they will know someone who does.
The basic ingredients in moonshine are corn meal, sugar, water, yeast, and malt. Other ingredients can be experimented with and added according to taste or preference and there are ultimately hundreds of varying recipes that have stood the test of time. Essentially though, you will have to determine a recipe specific to the amount you are planning to make and what type of still you are using. To make moonshine, mix the ingredients together in a container. The mixture, called “mash” then has to be moved into a still to ferment. It may take several days for the mash to ferment depending on how warm it is kept. Fermented mash is then heated until it produces a liquid and then vaporizes. The vapor is trapped in a tube or coil and transferred to an empty container where the condensation becomes the moonshine. The mash can be stored in its container and reused a few times by adding more sugar, cornmeal, malt and water.
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.
