Nowadays, they rarely use real grain spirit for the production of vodka. Vodka producers can get alcohol even from natural gas. The most disgusting store tinctures for alcohol - “With honey” and “Lingonberry” contain artificial additives that interrupt the terrible smell of bad alcohol, but do not relieve a severe hangover the next morning.
To produce good moonshine at home, you need to get dishes for mash. There is a simple rule: the larger its volume, the better. In my first experiments, I used ten-gallon bottles for mash. Now I have 18 liter bottles in my arsenal, as well as milk cans.
Next, you need to have a pressure cooker and a thermometer. In the pressure cooker lid we drill a hole where you need to insert the thermometer. A piece of silicone tubing can serve as a sealant. Top can be covered with dough. A flask of this kind is also needed.
You also need to have a reflux condenser. We will talk about its purpose a little later.
As a coil, which also serves as a refrigerator, ariometers (alcohol meters) will perfectly serve.
Next, you need to acquire silicone tubes and, in addition, hoses to connect the refrigerator to the tap with water.
So, we begin assembly. A pressure cooker is placed on the sprayer (gas stove). And further - according to the sequence depicted in the figures. When installing silicone tubes, you can use the dough as a sealant. Cold water is supplied to the refrigerator from below!
After the assembly is completed, it is time to fill the mash.Together with it, it is necessary to fill up 2 tablespoons of activated carbon BAU-A and very little potassium permanganate.
One pressure cooker is capable of producing moonshine within half an hour. Condensation begins with a temperature of 88 degrees on a thermometer and lasts up to 97 degrees. The first 20-30 grams are ruthlessly removed to avoid spoiling the entire product. Do not be greedy for them!
During cooking, different muck accumulates in the flask.
But after the reflux condenser and condensation of moonshine in the refrigerator, you can evaluate the color purity of the finished product!
Ready moonshine can be drunk, but it is better to clean it. To do this, take two proteins from chicken eggs and pour them into a jar of moonshine, with a capacity of 1 liter. Then filter through cheesecloth. Now you need to make a filter of white bread, oats, activated carbon BAU-A, cotton wool, bread, gauze. Through it, it is recommended to filter almost the finished product three times.
The obtained moonshine can be bred by spring, or ordinary drinking store water. The optimal alcohol content in the drink is 50 degrees.
