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. The author dusts off over 30 years of experience to tell you how it’s done. He not only tells how to make darned near any kind of beer, wine, liqueur and whiskey you can imagine, he also tells you how to make the equipment to do it with. Ever wondered how a still is made?

From moonshine, homebrew, wine and liqueur recipes, to stills, make your own cappers, kegs, scales and even a malt factory from an old freezer, it’s all here! “Truth is that this review is true. If you really want to get into homemade moonshine. This is the book to buy! There you have it have fun learning how to make moonshine.
