Making some moonshine using just sugar, this is my least favorite way to make moonshine but i do find it necessary at times to make some for using in other types of moonshine. Seeing how i don't do to many stripping runs because i think any liquor that comes from corn is good drinkable liquor as long as it is heart, i do need other moonshine to help brink up the proof of other mashes and it is also good to have some moonshine around to for flavoring and experimenting with. Anytime you make sugar shine you should use 2 pounds of sugar to every gallon to achieve a starting gravity of 1.080 don't forget to use some type of yeast nutrient with it such as a can of tomato paste, or some raisins. If you ever find it stinking really bad that is a sign that your yeast is stressed out however sugar shine does not smell great like corn so do not get the 2 smells confused. Also if you are new to making moonshine always remember to make sure your sugar is cane sugar and not beet sugar because beet sugar does not ferment as well and will cause stuck fermentations.

Try a run with some tomato paste, yeast nutrient, and a crushed multivitamin. That took my batches from cloudy to clear, about doubled my yield (and improved the taste).

I'd be curios if that heating element is grounded or not. I always insert my heating element through the lower side of the keg using a Tri-Clamp ferrule. That also keeps all of the electric connections out of the boiler and heat to minimize potential issues.

I have a simple homemade 5 gal still. I use 5lb sugar with a whole small carton of molasses in 23liters of water, table spoon of yeast an let that go for 2 weeks. Each run I send thru the still I get about a quart of alcohol. 4 quarts every two weeks for 6.75$ worth of ingredients. Newfoundland recipe my grandmother grew up on

@Rubberduck-tx2bh 11 ай бұрын

Sugar washes have a TREMENDOUS tendency to pH crash in the first 24-48 hrs, so managing it is critical. Crushed oyster shells ($6 for 5# bag @ Tractor Supply) is a great way to set it on cruise-control. As the wash gets acidic, it eats at the shells. As the shells degrade, it makes the wash less acidic, eventually finding a balance. I use a hop-sock in a coffee mug & fill it with shells. Shock it with hot water to pasteurize any nasties, & toss it into your fermenter. And as PhilBilly says, sugar washes absolutely need nutrients. DAP, Fermaid, tomato paste, raisins, etc... There's many ways to skin the cat.

@philbillymoonshine7356 2 жыл бұрын

No not at all, the lower proof is because i did not proof up my mash, and the fact that the still is a little turd lol if it had any type of reflux it would put out a higher proof. I mean that still is okay but when you go through 4 bubble plates you would expect the proof to be higher but it is what it is.

Glad to see you using some nutrient in your video. Sugar doesn't really have much if any nutrition for the yeast to thrive on. Hence, the nasty ass smell coming from a stressed colony of yeast in the sugar wash. I'm not telling you anything you don't already know, but maybe a newbie could use the knowledge and make fewer mistakes and have a better time in the hobby. Thanks for the video. By the way, 10 inches of snow fell up here in NH yesterday. Want me to send you some for cooling purposes ? lol --den

@nineinchnails7213 2 жыл бұрын

Sorry, but you're doing it a bit wrong. After fermentation you're supposed to do a stripping run hard and fast then drain your boiler. Dilute your low wines to at least 40%, toss it back in the boiler and then do a spirit run slow. When making a sugar wash you should follow a proven recipe that lists amounts of specific yeast nutrients. Adjust your PH to 5.2 - 5.6 using Citric Acid. Use a mesh bag and put 1 quart of crushed oyster shells (calcium carbonate) in the fermenter which will buffer the PH to prevent a PH swing. For your spirit runs, as you mentioned, you'll want a dephlegmator to give you reflux, but not for stripping runs.

@@PoppaLongroach Check out the Home Distiller forum. There's an entire section dedicated to 'Tried And True Recipes' which also includes sugar washes. They list their recipes which can be scaled up or down. A version of Wineos Plain Ol Sugar Wash is what I do. I add B Complex vitamin to mine at the rate other recipes call for. I also invert my sugar first to make simple syrup using sugar, water and citric acid. It makes it ferment easier and come off smoother.
