What Kind of Yeast is Best for Moonshine? 


There are many different types of yeast that can be used for making moonshine, bread yeast, distillers yeast, and turbo yeast. Each option has its own advantages and disadvantages. 

Turbo Yeast: 

Turbo yeast is a popular option for those who are looking for fast results with a high ABV. Of course, this would seem like the easy answer, but it is not that simple. While turbo yeast may be an easy way to cut down on your fermentation time, it also has its disadvantages. 

The biggest disadvantage to Turbo Yeast is that it can cause your moonshine to have an unpleasant taste. Many seasoned shiners steer clear for this reason. 


Bread Yeast: 

Bread yeast is a great option for those looking for a cheap and simple option for their shine. With proper preparation and care bread yeast can be just as effective as a specialized yeast. However, those new to shining may not have the knowledge or ability to add their own nutrients and may be unhappy with their final result. 

Distiller’s Yeast:


Distiller’s yeast is a great option for those who want great results with minimal effort. All of the nutrients are already in place to get the best results for your moonshine mash every time. 

It's a simple solution for great flavor and reliable results. Plus, its highly-concentrated composition reduces time and effort for fast and easy distilling.



How Much Yeast for Moonshine?

The amount of yeast needed for your moonshine mash will vary by the type of yeast you are using. Turbo or Distiller’s yeast will have guidelines printed on their packaging to make it fail-proof. 

If you are using bread yeast you can use the ratio of 2 to 4 grams of dried yeast for every gallon of mash.


What Do I Do if My Yeast Isn’t Working? 

A great indicator your fermentation is going to be successful is the formation of kraeusen which is the foamy head of the yeast.

This should form within the first four hours of fermentation but can take as long as 24 hours. If this has not formed in 24 hours, you need to pitch in additional yeast. 




How to Activate Yeast for Moonshine


You can activate the yeast for moonshine in the same way you proof moonshine when making bread. This proofing essentially gives your yeast a head-start and is a great boost to your fermentation.

How to Use a Hydrometer for Perfectly Distilled Moonshine

 

 

Moonshining is a time-honored practice handed down over the years. To achieve the most nuanced flavor in your product, precision, and vigilance during the mash and distillation processes are paramount.

An indispensable tool in the moonshiner's toolkit is a hydrometer. This device allows for the measurement of the mash's specific gravity, enabling an estimation of the alcohol content of the moonshine.

Mastering the hydrometer may seem daunting but, with practice and instruction, one can perfect the art of moonshining with a hydrometer.

 


How to choose the right hydrometer for moonshine production

 

A hydrometer for moonshine production is a crucial piece of equipment to help build perfection in your mash and distilling outcomes. Make sure your moonshine is always of the highest standard by selecting the right hydrometer, taking precise readings, and making any desired tweaks to the recipe. With practice and the proper support, you can excel in the moonshine craft and keep the age-old custom alive for years to come.

Choosing the right hydrometer for moonshine production is essential to ensure accurate readings. Hydrometers come in various shapes and sizes, and each has a specific range of gravity measurements. When choosing a hydrometer, it is essential to consider the range of gravity measurements that you will need for your moonshine production.

For moonshine production, a hydrometer with a range of 0-200 proof is generally sufficient.

A proof hydrometer measures the percentage of alcohol in the liquid and is essential in determining the strength of the moonshine. It is also important to choose a hydrometer that is made of glass and has a sturdy design to ensure accurate readings.


 

Understanding Gravity and its Role in moonshine production

 

Gravity is a fundamental concept in moonshine production and is essential in determining the alcohol content of the mash and the distilled product.

Gravity is the measure of the density of a liquid, and it is measured using a hydrometer. The specific gravity of a liquid is the ratio of the density of the liquid to the density of water.

In moonshine production, the specific gravity of the mash is measured before and after the fermentation process.

 

The specific gravity of the mash before fermentation is known as the starting gravity, while the specific gravity of the mash after fermentation is known as the final gravity.

 

The difference between the starting gravity and the final gravity is used to determine the alcohol content of the mash.


Steps to Using a Hydrometer for Moonshine Production

 

Using a hydrometer for moonshine production is a straightforward process. Here are the steps to follow:

Step 1: Fill a sample jar with a small amount of mash or distilled product.

Make the Most out of Your Mash with Amylase for Moonshine

Our Amylase is ready to get to work making the most out of your mash. Get your moonshine off to the right start with our amylase. 

With the right amount of amylase, you can get the proper enzymes for fermentation, ensuring the best flavor, aroma, and alcohol content for your moonshine.

 

1.5 oz - Good for 30 gallons of moonshine. Stored in a resealable pouch. 


What is Amylase Used for in Moonshine? 

Amylase is a  bacterially-derived enzyme that is a great option for those who want to make moonshine but don’t want to add malted grains. The malt is required to achieve a proper starch conversion so if you are not able or want to add malted starch to your recipe you can substitute it for amylase. 

You can tell when amylase is ready to get to work when your mash becomes thick and gelatin-like. This happens when your starch absorbs the liquid in your mash and then bursts open. 

Once your amylase is added you will notice your mash liquifies again. This is because the amylase breaks down the starch into dextrins and simple sugars to get it ready for fermentation. 


Do I Need Amylase to Make Moonshine?

 

Amylase is not necessary for every recipe, as adding malted grains, such as our Malted Barley will do the same job. However, if your recipe does not have enough naturally occurring enzymes, you will need amylase to help with starch conversion. 

By adding amylase, starches are quickly converted into simpler, fermentable sugars, so that your mash turns out exactly the way you want it. This essential enzyme helps to accelerate the mash process and provides uniformity and consistency to your finished product.

 


How Much Amylase do you Add to Moonshine?

Amylase enzyme is used during the mashing process when there are not enough naturally occurring enzymes, typically due to a mash containing a high level of adjuncts. Also used to more rapidly and completely convert starches into sugars.

Usage varies, but the typical dosage rate is 1/4 oz per 5 gallons. Combined with other ingredients, this enzyme helps ensure a higher yield of ethanol and glucose, resulting in a higher quality, smoother-tasting distilled spirit.



Amylase Moonshine Recipe


Amylase is used in moonshine recipes when the recipe does not include a malted grain. One example of this is our Malt O Meal Moonshine recipe. 

This recipe uses your favorite cereal to make your favorite spirit-moonshine!  It's a simple, veritably foolproof way to get moonshine that is ready to drink in about one week! It's the perfect way to get your craft-style booze, easy peasy!

Add Copper Mesh to Your Moonshine Still for a premium taste at an affordable price. 



Why Do Moonshiners Use Copper? 


There are many benefits to adding copper to your moonshine still. Copper is a great conductor of heat so it is a great choice for distilling, which uses heat to remove the ethanol from your fermented mash. 


However, the biggest benefit of using copper in your distilling is its ability to remove the sulfur taste and smell from your final product. 

 

With this in mind, many shiners use copper stills in their shining. It’s a great option for those with unlimited funds but does come with its drawbacks. 

 


The first disadvantage of course is cost. Even the smallest of copper stills will run you big bucks. In addition, copper is difficult to clean and maintain. This means that without a lot of upkeep you will not be able to keep producing your shine. 

 

Dimensions:

 

Our Copper Mesh is:

  • 10 cm (4 inches) wide 
  • 10 meters (32 feet) long


Copper Mesh for Distilling


Copper mesh is a great compromise for those who want all the benefits of using copper in their distilling without the heavy price tag. 


By combining a stainless steel moonshine still and the use of copper mesh you can find a great balance between performance and availability. As the copper mesh is removable, it is easier to clean and maintain. 


Many experienced shiners prefer to use structured pure copper mesh for distilling because it is highly efficient and easy to use. 

 



What is Copper Mesh Used For? 


Copper mesh can be used in both reflux column stills and pot stills. In reflux column stills copper mesh plays a big role. By packing your column with the copper mesh you can both improve the flavor and increase the ABV (alcohol by volume). 

Of course, your taste is improved by the copper mesh reacting with the sulfur compounds that are in your fermented mash and eliminating their unpleasant taste and odor. 

 

In a reflux column, your copper mesh does double duty by increasing the surface area for the vapor/liquid contact so that the chemical separation is as efficient as possible. 

 

While you want to fill your entire column with copper mesh, you also need to leave adequate room for the vapor to rise through. 

 

How Copper Mesh Increases the ABV

When you pack your column still, whether you use copper mesh or another material, you will create a slight ‘reflux’ action. 

This happens when the vapor rises and encounters material that has a slightly lower temperature than the boiler. Ideally, it would be slightly below the boiling temperature of the water but slightly above the temperature of the alcohol.

This would allow the water vapor to turn back into a liquid and allow the alcohol vapor to continue to rise. 

While your vapors rise, they will also trickle down and pass through the material before rising again. This is essentially allowing for multiple distillations in a single run. This means you can spend less time running your still and more time enjoying your shine. 

Can You Use Copper Mesh in a Pot Still? 

Yes, you can! Copper mesh still has many benefits when using a pot still. For example, in our Magnum All-in-One Still,  you can simply add copper mesh to the large ‘football’ shaped canister. 

Caring for Your Copper Mesh

It is important to note that copper mesh doesn’t have a shelf life. You have to use what you buy continuously. This is because when copper is exposed to air it will have a reaction, think of what happens to a shiny penny after being in circulation. 

It is also important to take note that copper mesh needs to be properly cleaned after every run. Failing to clean your copper mesh could result in a foul-tasting moonshine still. 

There are several options for cleaning your copper mesh. 

  • Citric acid
  • Vinegar
  • Vinegar/water mix 50:50 ratio

No matter which cleaning agent you choose, submerge your copper for a minimum of one hour, up to 24 hours.
