History of moonshine

In Russia this concept has appeared for a long time. In 1553, a chronicle was found, in which it was said about such a curative drink as moonshine. Russian drink was stronger and tastier than cognac or whiskey. In many countries it was done, and the recipes vary considerably. Rich people cooked moonshine for themselves and for gifts to guests. The sale was banned. Back in the 60s of the 19th century they wrote about the illegal sale of a drink. Questions were discussed about the punishment for the sale, but they were not accepted by the authorities. Usually they cooked and sold it in villages and villages. By the 20th century, brewing almost disappeared. Now make moonshine from wine only in order not to harm your health with purchased alcohol. On sale there are many different devices for home distillation of a quality and delicious drink.

• 6 liters of wine.
• 320 grams of yeast.

Cooking process

Wine must be mixed with yeast and overtaken twice. How to do it:

1. The mixture is poured into the distillation cube and starts the distillation. The first 20 ml of each liter is poured into a separate container. They are not used because of harmful impurities. The following are collected in one container.
2. The residues also merge separately and are used as a leaven for a new portion.
3. Ready homemade wine from home must necessarily undergo a cleaning process. Do this with coal or soda.
4. Then the drink, if desired, is diluted with pure water to reach a strength of 20 degrees, and again the distillation is carried out.
5. In order to improve the quality, the bottle is tightly closed and allowed to stand in a dark cool place for at least 10 days.

Moonshine wine is made using the same technology. At the output you will get a tasty, not too strong drink. Samogon of wine, the recipe of which is described above, is considered classic and simple.

Moonshade from the grape

Why not try to cook it from berries? It is easier to make wine from wine, but it will turn out more delicious and rich from grapes.
What is necessary:

• Freshly squeezed fresh grapes - 5 liters.
• Wine yeast - 5 grams.
• Sugar - 3 kg.
• Water - 15 liters.

Water poured into the tank, heated to 30 degrees, add all the ingredients and close the water seal. Within 10 days, once a day, it is necessary to mix the brew. When it is ready, we do a double distillation. To taste more berry, you need to reduce the amount of added sugar.

Equipment

For the preparation of moonshine from wine a special device is needed. The best is considered an alumbic, which is intended for the production of alcoholic beverages. It consists of copper, due to which it helps neutralize harmful toxins. Alambic for distillation of wine is better than any moonshine. Modern equipment is ideal for home use, does not take up much space, and it is easy to understand. The device for moonshine from wine can be made independently or bought in a store.

Advice

These simple guidelines will help to avoid mistakes and spoilage of ingredients:

1. To make a trial lot, divide the amount of wine by at least 5. If the result is good, you can start all the ingredients.
2. How to make a moonshine out of wine so that it is of good aging? Use wooden barrels. They will give the drink a soft taste, a pleasant aroma.
3. Oak barrels give homemade taste of cognac. Each tree, in the container from which the drink is aged, gives it different shades. Diversify the barrels - an apple, a pear or a cherry. Choose a tree to your liking.
4. Yeast is one of the important ingredients, without them you will not get an alcoholic drink. They must be fresh, properly stored. Buy yeast in special stores, from trusted vendors. It is on their quality that the final result depends.

Causes of unsuccessful bragging

There can be several:

• If the braga stops playing, the bubbles are gone, then, possibly, in the room where it stands, the unsuitable temperature of the air. The second reason is a small amount of sugar, and you need to add a little. And the third is low-quality yeast.
• If the braga matured for a long time, try to split it in half. Pour into equal capacity.
• If liquid is poured out during fermentation, drain off a little separately.
• If moonshine is cloudy, you need to repeat the distillation at least once.

With what they drink moonshine

Drink the drink chilled, pouring into wide deep glasses. If you drink with bitter chocolate, you will feel the notes of cognac. Homemade moonshine is well combined with boiled potatoes, smoked bacon or salted cucumbers. No matter how tasty the drink is, remember that drinking alcohol should be moderate. Moonshine from wine can also cause a hangover.

Benefit and harm

Moonshine, cooked independently, differs from purchased by the quality of the raw materials used. You can not talk about the benefits of alcohol, but in small quantities it does not hurt. In fact, drinking moonshine harms the liver and stomach. If you drink it too often and a lot, it can lead to peptic ulcers. It is also high in calories and contains 235 kcal per 100 grams, because it contains sugar. Moonshine can be used for medicinal purposes, for example making compresses, diluting it with water. In cosmetology, it is added to the shampoo. It is believed that a glass of this drink with the addition of pepper helps in the prevention of colds. Rubbing them helps from joint pain and high fever.

Braga from jam for moonshine

The simplest thing you can use is homemade jam, cooked from any berries. The main thing - it should be without mold. For 5 liters of water we take 1 kg of sugar, 1 liter of jam, 10 grams of yeast. Prepare the container: a large saucepan and a glass bottle. We use pure water, but not boiled. Heat water to 35 degrees, put jam and sugar, stir. Yeast is bred, added to a pan and put in a warm place for 2 weeks. Then pour into the brewer's apparatus and distill two times. At the output, we get about 5 liters of the drink, which is bottled and left in a cool place for another couple of months. You can drink it, make liqueurs and tinctures from it.
