Moonshine Vodka, 70 cl

Product Information

And there isn’t much of a difference at all between unaged whiskey and moonshine; they largely have the same production process.

Sweet Potato Pink Marshmallow Moonshine won a Great Taste Award in 2020 and Gold at the World Spirit Awards 2017. Take the blankets off and allow it to start to cool, if you want to speed up the cooling process then crack the lid a little as long as you are not in a dusty environment. But just as with vodka, as long as the spirit is then cut with water during the bottling process such that it’s still above 40% ABV when bottled, it’s a whiskey.

A charcoal filter which is Optional, but this would help to smooth the spirit out, I make one in my instructable on making Jack Daniels, go to step 5,6,7 for the filter, I will separate this out at some point as I feel it would be useful. Where possible you want as much copper in your still as you can, this helps to remove the nasty tasting sulfides from the spirit. And so it criminalizes any liquor production into the revenue of which it can’t sink its grubby little fingernails.

This was the question that first drove our initial discussion, and it turns out that the confusion stems from the fact that lots of distillers and liquor companies nowadays have elected to use the term “moonshine” incorrectly as a commercial gimmick.

you can use a load of jars to keep 100ml at a time and then you can taste the flavors as they progress through the run. TO RECAP: when it comes to proof, the spirit must exceed the 95% ABV threshold during distillation to be a vodka, whereas it cannot exceed the 95% ABV threshold during distillation to be a whiskey. I then had to split the the wash/mash in to 2 fermenters with airlocks to avoid this happening again. Other countries use the term whiskey to reference spirits aged in barrels made of other types of wood, such as maple or hickory.if you find a leak you need to plug it quickly, I had a bad gasket on my still, and tightening the Tri clamp didn't help so I went old school moonshiner on it. First off you will need a still to turn the low level of alcohol in to spirit, traditionally vodka is done in a pot still and is processed multiple times. Yeast, I used an ale yeast but you could use bakers yeast or wine yeast EC-1118 is my fav wine yeast.
