If you plan on making moonshine at home then there are a few things you need to know. Like, how to not blow yourself up! Just kidding. No really, you can blow yourself up making moonshine so be very careful and wear fire retardant gear. And a helmet.
All joking aside, making moonshine at home is actually not that hard. You need just 3 things. And one of those things is distilling equipment. Before you do anything else, you must have an apparatus that you can distill alcohol in. Back in the day, these were called Whisky Stills, or Moonshine Stills.
I prefer to call them Moonshine Stills because it sounds cool.
Anyway, There are literally hundreds of options when it comes to what type of still you use. For example, you might only plan on making moonshine for just personal use. So in that case, you wouldn't need a very big still. Probably a stovetop moonshine still would work for low volume production. I would suggest a Small Moonshine Still around 2 to 3 gallons or so. Or you can also find 5 gallon and 8 gallon moonshine stills. The size depends on how much moonshine you plan to make.
Now, for those Go Big, or Go Home kind of folks, I would suggest a more interesting size. Maybe Like this 13 Gallon Moonshine Distiller! I personally have not tried one this size. I use a 5 gallon stainless steel distiller, but I own distill alcohol once a year as a hobby. Regardless of which size you choose you will be able to distill as much, or as little moonshine as you want. Smaller sizes will just take longer.
Here are a few of the recommended items you need to begin your home distilling journey:
There are several things you can also find that will make your life a lot easier when distilling moonshine. I will explain more in another post.
