How do you make moonshine?!


Question: How do you make moonshine?
I was just curious. I'm not going to make it or anything, I swear.:P I was reading "my sister's keeper" and the older brother made some with a crock pot, a copper tube, a plastic milk jug filled with ice, and a glass mason jar. what is it even made out of too? how do you make it?

Answers:

First you need to make alcohol. Basically a solution of grain, water and yeast let to sit until the yeast turns the sugars into alcohol. Then you will have a solution that is 10% - 15% alcohol. To get the alcohol concentrated, you need to distill it. Basically boil the solution at a low temp (alcohol boils before water). When you boil it, you collect the steam in a tube, let it cool and drip into a container.

That is the 20,000 foot explanation



mostly made from corn
you ferment it and then heat it and then collect the distillate
alcohol boils at a different temp from water so you can get it stronger that way

what I know but hopefully not enough for anyone to try it



as its illegal, we can't tell you on a service like yahoo answers... as discussion would be against yahoo answers terms of use

that being said, i can tell you to go to a website, like homedistiller.org to get the proper information
