GOOD WHISKEY
I thought you might like this moonshine recipe to enable you to Make Whiskey at home.
The ingredients are malt, sugar, yeast and rain water. You can buy the malt from most big supermarkets, if they don't have it they will probably order it for you. The brand names for the malt and yeast can be Blue Ribbon, and Red Top. The malt is a liquid and comes in a can, the yeast comes in cakes.
To every can of malt you will add 5 gallons of warm water, disolve 5 pounds of sugar and add 1 cake of yeast. Mix all this together in a barrel made of plastic, stainless steel, or copper, under no circumstances use aluminum.
Keep it covered with cheese cloth to keep the bugs out. Keep it in a warm place till it ferments. Then you can cook it off in your still and you have the smoothest whiskey you have ever tasted.
After you run off the whiskey, it is clear like water. You can color it by taking a piece of dry fruit wood (or maple), burn the fruit wood over a flame till it is blackened, then drop the burned fruitwood in your clear whiskey. In a few days the whiskey will be the color of store bought whiskey.
RYE WHISKEY
INGREDIENTS
7 Lbs. Rye
2 Lbs. Barley
1 Lbs. Malt
6 gallons of water
3 grams Yeast
.
DIRECTIONS
Heat water to 70 degrees and then mix in malt and grain. While stirring the mixture slowly heat to 160 degrees (raise temperature 5 degrees every 2 minutes).
Keep mixture at 160 degrees stirring constantly for 1 hour to convert starch into fermentable sugar and dextrin.
Filter off liquid and place into fermentation device and allow to cool to 70- 80 degrees. Immediately pitch with 3 grams of yeast.
. Stir liquid for 1 minute then cover and seal with a airlock.
Mash will take 5-7 days to ferment.
After fermentation is complete pour into the still, filtering it through a pillow case to remove all solids.
Moonshine
5 gallon bucket of sweet feed (Sweet feed has several different grains and molasses making it a great tasting whiskey.)
one package of yeast (using distillers yeast will increase quality and quantity)
5 pounds sugar
Water
Put enough feed to cover bottom of 5 gallon bucket, a good 4 inches deep.
Add 5 pounds of sugar. Fill 1/2 full with boiling water. Mix until sugar is dissolved. Mix the rest and finish filling with warm water.
Add the yeast after it has cooled to the recomended temperture on the yeast label. Cover with lid--our lid has a little cap that screws on, leave it loose to breathe.
4-5 days later it's ready to run! This is an old-timer recipe and works quite well. My liquor is always 150-180 proof.
It is not recommended for pot stills unless you filter it by pouring it through a pillow case into a 5 gallon bucket after it has finished fermenting.
Otherwise the meal will settle and burn in the bottom of your still. Some folks leave the solids in the pillow case and tie it off where it will not touch the bottom of the still. When you, Make Whiskey at home you can produce a drink of exceptional quality, and the process can be exceptionally rewarding.

Moonshine
A "genuine" moonshine recipe,
- 5 gallon bucket all grain horse feed (we use MannaPro Hi Grain sweet feed)
- one package of yeast (using bread yeast now--others will increase quality and ferment time)
- 5 pounds sugar
- water
Put enough feed to cover bottom of 5 gallon bucket a good 4 inches deep Add 5 pounds of sugar. Fill 1/2 full with warm water--warm enough to melt sugar but not so hot as to kill yeast. Mix until sugar is dissolved. Add yeast and mix some more finish filling with warm water--again not so hot to kill the yeast. Cover with lid--our lid has a little cap that screws on, leave it loose to breathe.
4-5 days later it's ready to run! This is an old-timer recipe and works quite well. Our liquor is always 170-190 proof. You can substitute corn meal for the grain (horse feed) but I don't recommend this for pot stills cuz you can't filter it well enough. The meal will settle and burn in the bottom of your still. The old-fashion way of making corn liquor--with real corn--just is not feasible time wise.
