Or buy an airlock for $3 at any brewing supply.

>>158753
In fact just go to a brewing supply first, and buy proper yeast. Makes a big difference. It's best to invert your sugar too. Fermentation shouldn't take more than 14 days either, you're not aging that shit. Also buy juice without preservatives that'll prevent yeast growth

Keep out bacteria an other stuff that'll make it go to vinegar or worse. You have a giant medium perfect for bacteria growth, protect it.

If you're going to make moonshine at least distill it so you're not drinking liquid piss.

Here's my moonshine recipe. Get yourself a wine making pail. These are cheap and can be gotten at... wait for it... wine making stores. Pickup an airlock while your there. How to attach it to the pail is an exercise left to the reader. Wash the pail with bleach water. Soak anything that will touch the fermenting wash in bleach water.

WASH YOUR HANDS. YES, UNDER YOUR NAILS TOO.

OK. now everything is clean.

You will need

6kg white sugar.
2 multivitamins
1 can tomato paste
50g yeast nutrient
1kg molasses
500g bakers yeast (you can get bricks for cheap at a bakery)

In a large pot, boil the molasses, tomato paste and 400g of the bakers yeast with enough water to dissolve them. You're doing this to kill most of the yeast and sterilize the molasses and tomato paste.

Put the sugar, boiled yeast etc and other ingredient in the bucket and fill it 80% with water. Mix the last 100g of yeast with warm water and let it sit for 15-20 min. Then add, stir and put the lid on the bucket (with the airlock).

Put the bucket in your bathtub because the action of the yeast in the first 24hrs is very vigorous. The bucket may overflow with foam. If it does, it's a good sign.

In a week this thing will be done it's job and you now have 12-14% ABV wash.

If you're really desperate, you can drink this and get pissed out of your mind. It really isn't any more foul than Pabst Blue Ribbon (if you're into that).

If you have a modicum of self respect though, you'll have a still built by then and you'll make delicious vodka from this wash.

Good luck.

I'm wondering about a simple recipe my friend told me about is true.
Essentially, you boil 1kg of sugar and 1kg of water, trapping the vapor and condensing it.
Pure alcohol?

You obviously have to ferment it first. The ABV is dictated by still design. Mind you too, that setup would only yield a hundred or so grams of distilled alcohol. Bit much work for one shot.

>> No.160847

>>160836
no unless troll
You need yeast for that to happen. Yeast eats sugar, shits out alcohol and CO2 (easiest description) So you can deduce that if you have enough sugar for the yeast to eat, it will make high alcohol content beverage. If you are not comfortable with still I have a solution easy enough for you. Got a freezer? Mmmkay, put your shit in the freezer, water freezes alcohol doesn't, repeat enough to make strong booze. Sadly, even freezing alcoholic beverage to make it's alcohol content higher is still illegal in gay ass murrika.

1fl oz aka 30 or 31ml is one shot, so somewhere around 3 shots per 100 grams

Still, bit much work for something that will taste like ass unless you distill it until the point of Everclear.

So what's the simplest method in terms of time and money spent for making alcohol? The least amount of still building the better; taste doesn't matter as long as there's a decent percentage of alcohol in there.

Yeah you COULD do it this way and wait two months.

Or you could spend the extra dollar and a half and get 2 packs of champagne yeast from a brewers supply store and wait 2 to 3 weeks.

People do that shit whenever they're in a stressful situation, an example of a stressful situation would be put into an interrogation room even when you're innocent. I would be more concerned the person wasn't exhibiting these things.

behavioral profiling is the single biggest myth out there anyway, it's total fucking pseudoscience made mainstream by tv fiction. It's all just common sense and guesswork, mixed up to look like a separate skill - just like police psychics.

There are actually methods of determining if someone is lying based on their behavior, but it's none of that crap and relies on VERY subtle and VERY small behavioral ticks common to all humans. A properly trained and experienced observer can have impressive lie detection accuracy, but still nowhere close to flawless.

I just started my first homebrew with a recipe very similar for this to make mead! The balloon inflated quickly, and I noticed today that the very immediate area has a beery smell. I hope that's a good sign!

I think it is. Don't forget to let the balloon deflate, though.

>> No.161352

>>161346
I've also read that one problem with moonshine is that the brewers dont trash the first bit of alcohol coming out of the still which is poisonous. I understand that I'm not distilling here with mead, but is there a similar rule I need to be aware of?

>> No.161358

>>161352

I'm on my second batch right now, and all I can say is that I highly doubt it. It's not poisonous to drink your mead, and if there even IS any non-ethanol alcohol in there it's in a much lower amount than when being distilled.

I will say however, that once it's bottled I would recommend letting it sit for at least 6 months before drinking it. if you taste it immediately after primary fermentation you'll understand.

Six fucking months? I don't think I have the patience to wait half a year to drink my brew..
