How to make moonshine from apple cake? Prepare everything you need. Apple cake (mezga, squeezes) is a waste from the production of homemade apple juice or wine. If you are the happy owner of a moonshine apparatus, do not throw away such presses! It will make the first-class braga for further production of moonshine.

This recipe uses granulated sugar and dry, fast-acting yeast to make braga, as zhmykhu's own sugar and wild yeast will most likely not be enough to produce quality braga. For now, cover the cake and set aside for a while, we will deal with the syrup.

Take sugar and add to the dishes with a liter of warm filtered water. The water temperature is extremely important and should be about 35-37 degrees, no higher. Otherwise, yeast will begin to die. Stir the mixture until the sugar grains are completely dissolved. You get sugar syrup. It is necessary to further activate the work of yeast.

Pour fast-acting yeast into warm syrup and mix. Leave the mixture in a warm place for about ten to fifteen minutes.

It is necessary to wait for the activation of yeast. The signal that yeast is alive and suitable for work is the appearance on their surface of such a lush cap foam. If this does not appear, take other yeast, otherwise you risk wasting time and food.

Transfer the cake to a suitable fermentation tank. I will use a 12. 5 liter plastic bottle. It is impossible to fill the container at the neck, there should be room for foam from fermentation. Pour the yeast and all the remaining water into the bottle. Shake thoroughly until all the ingredients are combined. Pull tight on the neck and secure the medical glove (you can use tape) to track fermentation. In the fingers of the glove, puncture the hole with a needle.

Leave the bottle with braga for a week in a warm room. Periodically shake it well so that the cake does not form a dense layer. During fermentation, the medical glove should inflate due to carbon dioxide emitted from braga, and at the very end of fermentation - deflate. On the seventh day, we taste the braga - it should not be sweet. All sugar was to be & quot; eaten & quot; yeast.

Separate the braga from the cake, not forgetting to squeeze it out properly, and then filter it through several layers of dense gauze. We will get about 4-4. 5 liters of braga for primary distillation. This is the type it should be at this stage.

Assemble the moonshine according to the instructions. Transfer the braga to the tank of the moonshine apparatus and put it on a medium heat.

When the temperature in the system reaches 60 degrees, connect the cold water supply. Since everyone has different devices, check the instructions of your moonshine device.

The long-awaited distillation of life-giving moisture will occur at about 75 degrees. Make sure that the temperature in the system does not rise above 85 degrees to prevent damage to the device. Distillate in the form of moonshine enters the collection tank. The first 50 ml. Pervaka is not suitable for consumption, they are poured out. The stretch must be completed at a temperature of 37-35 degrees.
