Here is a little recipe for all you drunk fucks out there.




In making "white lightnin" the first step is to convert the starch of the grain into sugar.
(Commercial distillers use malt)
This is done by "Sprouting" the corn. Shelled, whole corn is covered with warm water
in a container with a hole in the bottom. Place a hot cloth over it. Add warm water from
time to time as it drains. Keep in a warm place for about 3 days or until the corn has 2
inch sprouts.
Dry it and ground it into meal.Make mash with boiling water.Add rye mash,that has been
made the same way..if you have it.. Yeast (1/2lb per 50 gallon of mash) maybe added to
speed up fermentation if you have it. Without it, it takes 170 days..or more..instead of 4.
Either way, it must be kept warm.
When the mash gets thru "workin" or bubbling up and settles down, it's ready to run.
At this stage, the mash has been converted into a carbonic acid and alcohol called a
"wash"and it is sour.
The "cooker" has two main parts (top & bottom).The mash is put inside, the top is pasted
on with a "red dog" paste.This is so if the fire gets too hot,and pressure builds up..the
top will blow off, without wrecking the still. In the top of the cooker is a 20 ft long
coiled copper pipe ("arm") which projects over one side and tapers down from 4-5 in pipe
to one about 1 1/4 in. called the worm.
The first run off ("singling") is weak and impure and must be redistilled to rid of water
and rank odors. For the second run off ("doublings") the cooker is cleaned out, and then
the singlins are run thru again The first qt is about 200 proof...way to strong and towards
the last it will be weak about 10 proof. The skill is in making it about 100 proof.

If a tbsp of liquid doesn't flash when tossed to the fire, it's too weak to bother with any
more.To test for proof, a small glass is used. When the bubbles rise half way up then
settle, then it's the right proof. Filter thru charcoal, and it's ready for consumption.

You aren't going to make some corn squeezins?

no thanks. we've got bottles upon bottles upon bottles of homemade wine that my grandpa made for the 15 years before he died.
