Hawthorn moonshine

Tincture is one thing, and hawthorn moonshine at home is quite another. It is a strong alcoholic beverage with certain medicinal properties (if used in moderation). The preparation of moonshine consists of two parts: the preparation of the mash and the direct distillation of the product. To create a quality drink, the process should be approached with all responsibility. In order for the yield of moonshine to be sufficient, sugar must be added. Hawthorn does not belong to those berries from which moonshine is prepared without added sugar.

Ingredients for a strong drink:

• the berries themselves - 5 kg of fresh raw materials;
• granulated sugar 1-2 kg;
• water - 2 liters and 4 liters for each kg of sugar additionally;
• 200 grams of dry yeast (can be replaced with pressed, but then 100 grams will be enough).

These products are enough for making high-quality home brew and the subsequent distillation of moonshine.

Braga from hawthorn for moonshine

First of all, it is necessary to carefully sort out the raw materials. Of the fruits, be sure to choose rotten, moldy, spoiled specimens. If live yeast is used in the preparation of mash, then it is not recommended to wash the fruits, so that microorganisms remain on them, which will accelerate the fermentation process.The algorithm for making hawthorn mash is available even for a novice winemaker:

1. The berries must be chopped in any way possible, you can simply overheat. It is important that the bones remain intact. The more seeds are damaged when grinding berries, the more bitterness will be in the finished drink.
2. Place the chopped berries in a container where they will ferment, add slightly warmed drive and granulated sugar there.
3. Add yeast and stir until sugar is completely dissolved.
4. Be sure to put on a glove with a pierced finger on the neck of the container where the mash will be prepared to track the fermentation processes.
5. Place the container in a room with a temperature of at least 18 ° C. The fermentation process will begin within 24 hours.
6. The first days, once a day, stir the contents of the container or simply shake.

As soon as the glove deflates, and the mash itself brightens, becomes bitter in taste, a sediment appears at the bottom - the mash is ready, it's time to distill it into moonshine.

Distillation of moonshine

Hawthorn moonshine at home should be driven strictly according to the recipe so as not to spoil the product. But with experience, winemakers have their own secrets of a tasty and strong drink.

Distillation is carried out as follows:

1. Braga should first be carefully filtered. It should not retain any solid particles that can spoil the moonshine still, as they will burn. After filtration, squeeze the cake thoroughly and discard, since it is no longer needed.
2. The first distillation should be carried out at maximum speed, and it must be completed at a strength of 25%. After the first run, the moonshine turns out to be cloudy, this is considered the norm.
3. After the first distillation, it is imperative to measure the strength of the resulting drink.
4. Add water to a strength of 20% and distill the distillate again.
5. Select the "head" that smells bad, contains impurities hazardous to health.
6. Continue distillation until the strength in the stream drops to 45%. This is the basis, the "body" of moonshine.
7. Collect the "tails", that is, the remains of the distillate, in a separate bowl.
8. The body of the resulting drink must be diluted to the strength that the distiller wants to get as a result. This is usually 40–45%.

That's it, the distillation is over. Now the moonshine needs to be bottled and stored in a cool, dark place.

Storage rules

Any alcohol requires its own storage conditions. If a berry tincture is made, then, first of all, it should be stored in a tightly sealed bottle. This is the only way to preserve its strength and healing properties.

Correctly prepared tincture can be stored for up to several years. For storage, it is optimal to choose a dark, dry, but cool place. So the drink will retain its healing properties and taste. The tincture, which is taken daily, drop by drop, must be kept in the refrigerator without fail.

If the drink is stored in a basement or cellar, then the walls should be free of moisture and mold, and the cork in the bottle should be closed as tightly as possible.

Conclusion

Many people associate hawthorn tincture with moonshine with unhealthy, poorly dressed people who buy daily from pharmacies and consume the pharmacy tincture in whole bottles. But in fact, cooked at home, it can really be a medicine. It is an inexpensive and effective remedy for pressure and insomnia, as well as for lowering sugar and normalizing the nervous system. It is important to choose the right ingredients and follow the recipe, as well as remember that alcohol in large quantities is harmful to health.
