We can help you to make Moonshine at your home with the help of a pressure cooker. The instructions for making Moonshine are easy to follow and here we will make a Peach Moonshine. However, you must take a look at whether it is legal in your area to make Shine because many local authorities have banned the making of Moonshine.
However, some countries do not allow it at all but some do only for personal consumption. When it is summer the corn is cheaply available and it is one of the favoured ingredients for making Moonshine. However, when it is winter the corn is not available so fruits like peach can be used.
How To Make Moonshine in a Pressure Cooker?
Instructions For Making Moonshine
A few ingredients can be used for the preparation of Moonshine.
- Cornmeal or peach
- Water
- Sugar
- Malt extract
- Yeast
Apart from these ingredients, you might also need some necessary equipment that would help the preparation of moonshine.
- A fermenter or a mash tub
- Still
- Condenser
For containing your Moonshine in a large container not everyone has stills available in their backyard. So for this, you can have a replacement with any stainless steel or copper container which is clean. Having a clean container is necessary otherwise there can be impurities. Make sure that you do not use aluminium containers because it can cause chemical reactions and contamination is in your Moonshine.
Recipe For Peach Moonshine
- Take one or two large barrels of completely ripened yellow peaches.
- Mash them in the drums, and there is no need to clean because you have to leave them for 2 weeks until they rot and ferment.
- Do not close the lid during this fermentation time as the fruit mash will make a lot of gases.
- Make sure you cover your Still with something that lets the gas out but stops the insects.
- When the bubbles are visible your mash is ready to be distilled. Do not leave it for a longer time otherwise, it will convert into a Peach vinegar.
- Now heat your mash in the still. We have mentioned above, the still should be a big copper kettle that can be easily heated and does not make any chemical reactions with the mash. You must heat the kettle with the fermented peach until its boiling point so that the alcohol evaporates.
- When you heat, the alcohol boils off before the water because it has less boiling point than water and it is trapped by the condensation pipe attached to your still.
- The condensed and collected alcohol in the bucket is very top quality peach Moonshine.
- This Moonshine can also be redistilled for surety.
Stills can be bought from the market otherwise you can DIY a still in your backyard or garage. Hopefully, the above-listed information and steps are enough for you to make a Peach Moonshine all by yourself.
