How to make wheat moonshine without yeast at home? Prepare the necessary ingredients. In order to make a fence on wild yeast, you will need high-quality wheat grains of the highest grade with a good margin of shelf life.

Rinse the wheat under running water and roll back into a colander. Allow time for excess water to drain and transfer the grains to a wide dish - a bowl or tray.

In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar for the cull. Over a heat, bring the syrup to complete sugar dissolution, then cool to 30 degrees.

Pour the wheat with warm syrup so that all grains are evenly covered with liquid.

Cover the container with a napkin or gauze so that the braga can & quot; breathe & quot; and put it in a warm place for about three to five days, everyone will have different ways. It depends on the quality of the grains. During this time, wild yeast will wake up and intensify its work. During this time, the fence must be mixed at least once a day so that it does not deteriorate.

On the third day, when foam appears on the surface of wheat, the fence is ready, and you can start cooking the main braga.

Transfer all the wheat waste into the fermentation bottle, add the remaining sugar and water. On the bottle, install a hydraulic lock (or a medical glove with a small hole in your finger) and leave in a warm place without direct sunlight for 10-12 days. By the way, some models of moonshine devices provide for the preparation of braga right in the tank. But for this you need to be sure that such a function is provided for your device by the manufacturer.

Fermentation on wild yeast is not as active as on bakers, so you should not expect any turbulent process and active foam formation. Stir-shake the braga periodically and taste it for about 10-12 days. When the sweetness leaves, and the braga becomes bitter, you can start filtering.

Braga is filtered through several layers of dense gauze or through a special filter in order to get rid of all unnecessary impurities. Braga is a yellowish-cream color with a characteristic smell of fermentation.

Assemble your moonshine according to the instructions and transfer the filtered braga into the tank. Set the moonshine to heat up on a medium heat. I use an electric cooker for heating.

When the temperature in the system reaches sixty degrees, cold tap water must be connected to the apparatus to cool the future distillate.

Distillation of moonshine will take place very soon - at about 75 degrees. Moonshine in a thin stream will begin to enter the collection tank. & quot; Heads & quot; - the first 50-60 ml of distillate, extremely toxic to the human body and not suitable for consumption. This amount of moonshine just needs to be poured out.

Make sure that the temperature does not rise above 80-85 degrees. In this case, immediately reduce the heat to prevent the moonshine from breaking. In general, the maximum heating temperature of the tank of moonshine devices may differ. Focus on the information written in the instructions for your moonshine. The moonshine run must be completed at a temperature of 37-35 degrees. Nice tasting!
