| Found this on a site looking for moonshine mash recipes. Think I'll give it a go for wine.
WHEAT GERM RECIPE
1 jar 20oz. of wheat germ 2oz. of an acid blend 5 lbs sugar 5 gallons of water 1oz of bear yeast
All you need to do is steep in water at 180 degrees for 30 minutes. While that is steeping put the packet of yeast in a glass of room temperature water as instructed on the packet of yeast. After the mix cools filter it into a 6 1/2 gallon glass jar to remove the wheat germ and add the yeast. The mix must be no hotter than 80 degrees and no cooler than 65 degrees or the yeast will die. Check the yeast package for proper temperature. Place a bubbler in the top of the jar. When it stops bubbling the mix is ready to distill or is a very good wine that taste like pears. This is the easiest recipe I have found. It's a moon-shiners dream. | |
