"supermarket moonshine"

[Rachiu]

I have no home-brew-shop in my country, so I gathered tips from here and beyond and I developed my own recipe for my "supermarket moonshine". The ingredients are very usual.

My recipe for 60 liters wash is very simple:
- 10 kilograms of sugar
- 500 grams of tomato paste
- 500 grams of bran husks
- Juice from 5 lemons
- 50 grams boiled yeast
- 1 tablet vitamin B
- 50 liters of water
- 50 grams dry baker's yeast

I Dissolve 10 kg sugar in 10 L water and squeeze 5 lemons. Bring it to boil and simmer for 30 minutes to invert the sugar. The last 15 min of boiling add 50 g yeast. Cool with 20 L tap water and pour into the fermenter barrel with a lot of splashing to aerate the mix. Add the tomato paste, bran and crushed B vitamin mixing well. Add another 20 L water for an almost 60 L total wash volume. Splash well with a mixer for additional aeration. Make sure the temperature is below 28*C then add 50 g hydrated yeast. Cover the barrel with plastic foil tied with elastic rope and leave to ferment out completely until stops the fizzing noise.
It should provide 10% ABV and if left undisturbed, it will settle well.

What do you say about my recipe? Is there something wrong with it?

Sounds good, just seems easier to do all bran

Making shine in Bucharest sounds like a whole lot of fun.

You have a good still? Your recipe and process sound solid.
