its allready cooked to release the sugar ,,just add yeast ,water,yeast likes to be warm...
The ingredients needed for moonshine mash are; 5 lb. ground cornmeal, 5 lb. white granulated sugar, 10 gallons of water, 1 cake of dry ale yeast, and 1 pint of malt extract.
Moonshine mash can be made using the following ingredients; 1 pint of malt extract, 1 cake of dry ale yeast, 10 gallons of water, 5 lb white granulated sugar, and 5 lb ground cornmeal.
The amount of moonshine produced from a gallon of corn mash can vary depending on the fermentation and distillation process. Generally, you can expect to yield about 1 to 2 quarts of moonshine from 5 to 10 gallons of corn mash. This translates roughly to about 0.2 to 0.4 gallons of moonshine per gallon of corn mash, depending on efficiency and the specifics of the recipe. However, individual results may vary based on various factors such as the sugar content and fermentation conditions.
Moonshine is usually made by fermenting sugars from grain starch. However, moonshine by its definition means it was most likely distilled illegally, meaning that there can be contaminations such as antifreeze, lead and artificially added methanol.
Yeast should be added to the mash at a temperature between 70-75F for optimal fermentation.
Traditional methods used to make mead moonshine involve fermenting honey, water, and yeast to create mead, then distilling the mead to produce moonshine.
It all depends really on things like amount of yeast, mash, temperature, etc. But usually it'll take abut 4-5 days. To be sure, wait to distill until the mash has stopped bubbling and it has a really sour taste. Fermentation speeds up at higher temperatures, but make sure you don't let the temp. get above 120F or the yeast will start to die, which means theres nothing to produce alcohol.
Yes, chlorine can effectively kill yeast.
Yes, acid has the ability to kill yeast.
No, the recipes that call for doing that are counting on wild yeast to do the job in place of adding distillers yeast.
you need corn meal sugar highly active yeast and distilled water a 5 gal bucket with a air tight lid and a air lock.... you add 32 oz of corn meal in the bucket 2lbs of sugar now you need to heat up about 1 gal of your distlled water a lil bit more then room temp then add the water now add one packet of your yeast and stir it untill your sugar disolves now add the other gal of distilled water you have to you use distilled water tap water will kill your yeast now put on your air tight lid withe the air lock and store at room temp for 6 days if you do not have a air lock you can make one just you a rubber hose put it in the lid of the bucket make sure it is only like 3 inches into the bucket you dont want it to go into your mash then run the other end of it into a glass of water
