Moonshining is so cool because it's as simple as it gets, yet also incredibly complicated. It's wonderful. Part science, part camping, part cooking, part Americana, part outlaw life. Love it.

They also said it was 160 proof which is 80% whereas Kraken is 40%. That is the exact colour and bottle shape of kraken, you can literally see the marks where they ripped off the old label so at the very least we know it was re-used

In prison I used to get a 5 liter bottle and fill it with orange juice. A few slices of brown bread.Then a bag of sugar with hot water. Then leave it on the pipes they are hot. And 7 days tops it’s about 15 percent . And if you get done it’s a extra month lol

Ah good ol' pruno.... I did the same with grape juice and Lavlin EC1118 when I was underage... It's as smooth as drinking a glass of moldy bread but a single glass will do you.

[@josephfowler964]

I'm surprised that the acidity wasn't too high though. Acidity tends to rise as the fermentation process progresses - with something like apple juice that isn't a problem but orange juice is already acidic. I imagine the ferment would stall pretty easily. Also, I don't think you got to 15%. A lot of wine yeasts don't go to 15% - and bread yeast is less robust. Not to mention, even if you take a yeast that's rated up to 15% to 15%, you tend to get some really bad flavors because the yeast starts struggling at higher alcohol concentrations... Most bread yeast max out at around 10%.

[@arronbeta598]

[@christensolomon3679]

Johnny Depp makes moonshine? Jk but really though, if the moonshine is made with brown (cane) sugar as it's sugar source, doesn't that make it a rum?

[@josephfowler964]

Yes and no. Rum is run on pot stills - so flavor from the sugar cane carries over into the final product. They were essentially running a multi-plate reflux still here - when alcohol is coming off at 80% ABV, very little of the mash flavors will actually carry over. You end up with something closer to vodka or Everclear (or what Jack Daniel is before it's aged) than anything else in this case... The only exception is when you add something like lemongrass or another very pungent oily herb into the equation - then the flavor tends to carry over no matter what. Even multiple runs and charcoal filtering can't save a horribly flavored batch.
