Do you run moonshine through a still twice?

You don't have to, but you can. Distilling it twice simply removes more impurities in the alcohol. So, distill away!

Can you distill moonshine twice?

Yes. Traditionally, pot stills were not efficient and were cooked too hot, resulting in lots of water vapor ending-up in the distilled end-product. So the end-product was run through the still numerous times to raise the "proof", hence three x's on the jug. One for each time it went through the pot still. A reflux still is different, so talk to Spock about doing it in one of those modern contraptions. Idunno'bout them.

FYI: The term "Proof" comes from the fact that higher proof alcohol will burn. And lower or watered moonshine will not burn. So if it burns, that is is evidence of or "Proof" of the quality of the booze.

Traditional Moonshine is usually cut to 80-100 proof, (40% - 50% ABV), however, if it is triple-distilled in a pot still it can reach 160 proof on the third run, (80% ABV), but this is much too hot to drink.

Why do people make moonshine?

People make moonshine for either a. their own personal consumption, or b. to sell. Moonshine is generally a neutral grain spirit with a very high proof, which if consumed produces the effects of drunkenness.

Now, why do they do it?

Alcohol is regulated and heavily taxed in the United States. Take for example, Virginia. First there is the price of the spirit. Then on top of the price for the spirit there is the alcohol tax incurred. Then, on top of the alcohol tax, sales tax is incurred on both the price of the spirit AND the alcohol tax. Which is why some people go to other states to buy their booze, or they make their own.

It is simply because moonshine is extremely cheap and easy to make. One can sell moonshine cheaper than regulated alcohols and still retain a decent profit.
