How to make moonshine

      As Junior Johnson said “moon shining is something that gets under your skin and you would almost do it for nothing”.  Moonshine is basically homemade liquor that you don’t pay taxes on. And you made it your self.  I in no way condone you trying to do this as it can be very dangerous.  It is illegal to make liquor in the united states and not pay taxes on it.  So if you get arrested I warned you and I am in no way responsible for any reproductions that happen to you as a result of what happens to you. I don’t care if you end up dead, blind or dying and I am releasing myself form any results of your stupidity.  

     With that said this from a recipe I found on the internet somewhere and I really don’t remember I did a write up for it awhile ago. So with that here you go. This is how to make moonshine.

Ingredients:
Corn Meal,White Cane Sugar, Brewer’s Malt ,packet Yeast and Orange Juice

First, Mix the Orange Juice and Yeast in a glass. Set this glass aside. Leave glass at room temperature. Next, Mix the Corn Meal and Sugar in a bowl. Then Fill a pot with 1 gallon of water for each pound of corn/sugar mixture. Heat water to 120 degrees Fahrenheit (use a meat thermometer). Do not let this mixture get hotter than 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Slowly stir in corn/sugar/malt mixture. Cook this mixture called “Mash” about 1 hour on low heat (stirring occasionally to avoid burning the mash). Keep mixture at 120 degrees Fahrenheit, no hotter than 140 degrees. Remove a small amount of the cooking mixture and put in a disposable cup. Add a few drops of tincture of iodine to this mixture in the disposable cup. If the mixture turns a dark purple, the mash hasn’t cooked all the way. If the mixture is only slightly purple, it is fully cooked. Throw out the disposable cup and its contents.

*NOTE* DON’T REUSE THIS MIXTURE OF IODINE AND MASH. IODINE IS POISONOUS. When the mash has cooked all the way, let it cool to room temperature. Then add the orange juice/yeast mixture as soon as it (the orange juice/yeast mixture) is foaming slightly on the top. Put the mash in a suitable container for fermenting. use an old milk jug There should be some room at the top to hold the foam that will be created. DO NOT CAP OFF OR CLOSE THIS CONTAINER SO IT IS AIRTIGHT! THIS PROCESS CREATES LARGE AMOUNTS OF CARBON DIOXIDE GAS WHICH WILL CAUSE A CONTAINER TO EXPLODE WITHOUT WARNING! You can use cheesecloth or a handkerchief to cover the container. Make sure to keep the container at room temperature. After 10 days, taste a few drops of the mixture. If it tastes like alcohol or is slightly sour, it is ready.
Then Strain the mixture through a screen or coffee filter and proceed to the distilling process to do this you need to build a still.

The best advice I can give you on this so that you don’t kill yourself is to buy the book The Alaskan Bootlegger’s Bible it is a really good book. Ether get it on amazon or buy it on ebay. I think it costs about 15.00 and is well worth it if just for the plans to make the still. A great review about this book on Amazon states “Book Description How to make beer, wine, liqueurs, cider and moonshine whiskey.

Sweet Bill Murry was caught in a golf cart dui

Fom the A.p

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Bill Murray could face a drunken driving charge after cruising through downtown Stockholm in a golf cart and refusing to take a breath test, citing U.S. law.

“He refused to blow in the (breath test) instrument, citing American
legislation,” Holmlund told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “So we
applied the old method — a blood test. It will take 14 days before the
results are in.”

Murray, who had been at a golf tournament in Sweden,
signed a document admitting that he was driving under the influence,
and agreed to let a police officer plead guilty for him if the case
goes to court, Holmlund said.

“Then he was let go. My guess is he went back to America,” Holmlund said.

He said the 56-year-old actor-comedian would only be charged if
tests show his blood alcohol level exceeded the legal limit, which is
quite low in Sweden.

A very high alcohol level could lead to a prison sentence, but Holmlund said fines were more likely.

“There were no obvious signs, like when someone is really tipsy,” he said.

An e-mail to Murray?s lawyer, David Nochimson, seeking comment wasn?t immediately returned.

The golf cart had been on display for a week outside the downtown hotel where Murray and other VIPs attending the Scandinavian Masters golf tournament, were staying, tournament head Fredrik Nilsmark said.

Murray apparently drove the golf cart to the trendy Cafe Opera
nightclub, less than a mile away, and was pulled over on his way back
to the hotel.

Nilsmark said the vehicle wasn’t intended for guests but added: “I don’t hold any grudge against Bill Murray for borrowing our cart for a while.”

Cafe Opera manager Daniel Bodahl confirmed that Murray had visited
the nightclub late Sunday and said “he was a very good guest.”

It isn’t illegal to drive a golf cart in city traffic in Sweden, but Holmlund said it is very unusual.

“I have done this since ‘68 and I’ve never experienced anything like this,” he said.

Murray was among the early cast members on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.” He was nominated for an Oscar for 2003’s “Lost in Translation.” His screen credits also include “Groundhog Day” and “Rushmore.”
