Ingredients You’ll Need

Gather these ingredients to kick things off:

1 Gallon of Water
2 Cups of Sugar
1 Cup of Fresh Peaches (chopped, or you can use peach juice)
1 Package of Active Dry Yeast
1/2 Cup of Cornmeal
1 Lemon (juiced)
Optional: Additional fruits for flavor (like apples or berries)

Instructions to Make Your Mash

Follow these simple steps to create your own moonshine mash:

Start by boiling the gallon of water in a large pot. This will help dissolve your ingredients properly.
Once boiling, add the sugar and stir until it completely dissolves. Trust me, this step is crucial for that sweet flavor!
Next, toss in the chopped peaches (or peach juice) and cornmeal. Cook on low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once you’ve got a nice mixture going, remove the pot from heat and let it cool down to room temperature. Remember, we don’t want to kill the yeast with hot temps!
After the mix has cooled, add the lemon juice and sprinkle the activated dry yeast on top. Stir gently, but don’t overdo it!
Cover the pot with a clean cloth and let it sit in a dark, warm place. Let it ferment for about 5-7 days. You’ll start to see bubbles forming; that’s a good sign!
Once fermentation is done, strain the mash through a cheesecloth to separate the solids from the liquid.
Your moonshine is ready to be enjoyed! Just be sure to store it in a glass container in the fridge.

And there you have it! Your very own moonshine mash. It’s a fun project and a great way to bring some flavors into your home. Enjoy responsibly and share the love with family and friends!
