Moonshine Recipe
moonshine recipe, home wine making, ethanol distillation,
alcohol still The pure alcohol you get as a result of good
hobby distillation is pure vodka. You can flavor it with vodka
essence: it is one of the most commonly sold, but you can
also use it as vodka without flavoring. If you want a flavored
vodka, why not make a Citron Vodka or Currant Vodka and get
a fresh and fruity taste? You can also flavor your alcohol
with fruits and herbs. If you have an old local recipe, use
it. But if you want to make commercial quality gin from Juniper
berries or even a very easy flavor like citron vodka, you
must know some facts.
To make a good gin you need super quality juniper berries
from a special area. You cannot simply buy them: the essence
... herb ... and liquor ... industry buys them, often before
harvest. And there are more ingredients in gin, many other
herbs. If you try to make liqueur from fruits you end up with
a liqueur with limited shelf life. If you extract some herbs
you probably do it in your alcohol directly. The essence manufacturer
first buys the best herbs available, then extracts them with
a mixture of alcohol and water in another strength and with
a certain time limitation. Different strength extracts give
different aromas, and there can also be a mixture of 2-3 different
extractions of different strengths and extraction times.
The essence manufacturer often uses a new technique: carbon
dioxide distillation. With this you can create a great taste
of, for example, a fruit. More than this, you can split up
a fruit aroma into many aromas and mix some of them back together,
ending up with a taste greater than that of the original fruit.
And you can sell what's left to a manufacturer of cheaper
essences. The strong distilled aroma you get you can use in
liqueur and get a shelf life from 5 years to perhaps 50 years.
Flavoring alcohol is a great hobby. Do try, but start properly.
If you put a piece of lemon in your vodka you have no chance
to compete with Absolut Citron, not in the same day. Start
your flavoring with essences, and if Prestige essences from
Sweden are available, start with them and change only if you
find some elsewhere of the same quality. When you are experienced
in making good products with good alcohol and quality essences,
then you can start testing to flavor your own gin, etc. Then
you can go on. There is no limit, and there is a lot of literature
in this area.
About essences: use only essences made from natural or nature
identical aromas. If it is not clearly stated of the ingredients
that it is made from natural or nature identical ingredients,
do not use them. If the ingredients are declared as aromas
or food aromas or similar, they are probably cheap, synthetic
aromas, and you do not want to know what the are made from.
A manufacturer always reveals natural and nature-identical
ingredients, as this is proof of quality and proof that there
are no synthetic aromas used.
