Homemade Corn Mash Moonshine

Below is a classic recipe for making corn mash moonshine, loaded with flavor and perfect for your next gathering or special occasion.

Homemade Corn Mash Moonshine ### Ingredients:

5 gallons of water
8 pounds of cracked corn
2 pounds of sugar
1 packet of active dry yeast
1 cup of malted barley (optional for flavor)

Instructions:

Start by heating 5 gallons of water in a large pot. The temperature should be around 190°F (88°C).
Once the water is hot, slowly stir in the cracked corn. Make sure to stir thoroughly to prevent clumps from forming.
Lower the heat and allow the mixture to cook for about 90 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help to convert starches in the corn into fermentable sugars.
After 90 minutes, remove the pot from heat and let it cool to around 150°F (65°C). If you are using malted barley, now is the time to add it. Stir well.
Cover the pot and let it sit for about 24 hours, maintaining the temperature if possible to encourage enzymatic activity.
After 24 hours, it’s time to add the sugar and stir well until dissolved. Then, allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, sprinkle the packet of active dry yeast on top of the mash. Stir gently to incorporate it into the mixture.
Transfer the mash to a fermentation vessel, ensuring that it has enough space to accommodate foaming during fermentation.
Seal the vessel with an airlock and place it in a cool, dark space. Fermentation should take about 5-7 days. You’ll know it’s ready when bubbling has nearly stopped.
Finally, it’s time to distill your mash. Follow local laws and regulations regarding distillation. Collect your moonshine and enjoy responsibly!

Crafting your own moonshine can be a fantastic experience, allowing you to experiment with flavors and techniques. Share your creations with friends and family and raise a glass to your newfound skills. Cheers!
