How do I find a new hobby. Moonshine.

I want to share with you my little hobby - moonshine.
According to the authorities, in the domestic market - about 50% of all alcoholic beverages in the implementation-counterfeiting. Not this time, I felt. All we know that bottle of Jack from the "duty free" much tastier purchased in our stores. By this, I decided to score on a fake swipes and engage in the production of his drink. So, welcome.

It will be 16 photos.





The first stage, preparing home-made beer. I decided not to you * there are also prepared by conventional sugar Braga. Ie Water + sugar + yeast. You can take a classic recipe: 20 liters of water, 5 kg of sugar and 100g. dry (!!!) yeast.
This requires a suitable container. I bought food bucket with a lid. Knead the sugar with water, stir until sugar is completely dissolved. At this time, we take the yeast 2 l.teploy water and 100 grams. sugar. Activate dry yeast. We reserve pot for an hour. (t = 25-28 degrees)



Then pour "activated yeast" in our vat of sugar water. Close, Fasten gidrozapor (need to CO2 left, and oxygen in the air did not get into a bucket) and left at t 24-27 degrees for a week.



Pour Braga Capacity for convenient, hassle-free then to pour it into the distillation "cube".



As we can see, Braga contains impurities, very muddy. Fill it to the cube through cheesecloth.



I have to say, the machine I have, as they say, "purchase" made at the Chelyabinsk factory of household appliances. collecting apparatus. My machine has a steam-dome. We need it to delay it all Gauvin occurring during distillation. (intermediate container)



The shops close to normal hoses could be found. Found two hoses from the soul, their slightly altered, connected to the evaporator (for those who do not know - the last vessel in its coil, the water envelops the coil inside the vessel and cools it in this way). Connect the inlet tube to the tap.



Turn on the gas at the 2/3 power.



My cube is equipped with a thermometer. At about 75 degrees Braga starts to boil.



The important point. The first 50 ml of 5 l.bragi will leave the most poisonous substance - alcohol mixed with by shit, which has a detrimental effect on our health. Acetone, Kenton and other garbage. This procedure is called "cutting off the head." Here it's head. Braga I had 10l. cubed. Another forgot to tell you - you need to fill the cube 2/3 volume max. Ie I wait 100 ml harmful shit.



Another photo collection head.



Take a spoonful of this harmful compound. Ignite. As evidence of harmful Gauvin - yellow fire. Since the combustion temperature of pure alcohol is relatively low, it burns with a blue flame. Red also burn more severe and harmful compounds.



We remove those of 100 ml. Gauvin. You can fill in the car, in bachek washer, if the smell does not frighten))) Substitute the jar and wait!



On the number of output: 9 liters of mash I got 3 liters of the product of general strength of the order of 60 degrees. Ie when diluted with water (purified necessarily) get about 5 liters. 42-degree product.



It is important to monitor the temperature. When the cube shows about 90 degrees - are "tails" that is, Braga is the evaporation in ktoroy little alcohol and a lot of harmful substances. Increase the gas on full and driven by their tails in a separate bank. Then these tails can either overtake again or filter carbon filter.
I poheril your home for water. Besides Sam now they do not otfiltruesh)



After distillation of the cube will be a lot of useless mash without alcohol. In no case do not pour down the drain. All risers will stink Braga month. Therefore, we gather in a bottle and pour it on the street.
Diluted with water, measuring alcoholmeters fortress. I love to catch up to 42 degrees.
Next - as anything. Insist on pine nuts, berries, herbs and so on. I prefer pure.
Well, for you, dear YaPovtsy!
Thanks to all!
