Firefly Cherry Moonshine, 75 cl

Product Information

There are two main types of cherries, sweet and tart. Both sweet and tart cherries can be used to make cherry brandy, however, using half sweet and half tart produces the best result. Depending on the type of cherries, they are usually ready for harvest beginning in May and ending in July. If you are looking to make Drunken Cherries (alcohol-infused maraschino cherries) you’ll want to preserve extra cherries for eating later. The fermentation process takes months, and the cherries used in making cherry schnapps will be mushy. For best flavor, I would preserve sweet cherries (by freezing or canning in a simple syrup) and make tart cherry brandy. Optional Cherry Wine Ingredients King, Jeff.

Let it Sit: Cover the container and let it sit at room temperature for a couple of days. This allows the flavors to meld together and infuse the moonshine with the vibrant taste of lemons.

You need to create fermentable sugars, ferment them into alcohol and then distill the alcohol. The first step of the moonshine process requires making fermentable sugars. Often this was achieved by heating grain and converting it into sugar. However, moonshine is also often made with a fruit mash. In a large pot, combine the pineapple juice, and white sugar over medium low. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved. Although methanol is not produced in toxic amounts by fermentation of sugars from grain starches, [23] contamination is still possible by unscrupulous distillers using cheap methanol to increase the apparent strength of the product. Moonshine can be made both more palatable and perhaps less dangerous by discarding the "foreshot" – the first 50–150 millilitres (1.8–5.3impfloz; 1.7–5.1USfloz) of alcohol that drip from the condenser. Because methanol vaporizes at a lower temperature than ethanol it is commonly believed that the foreshot contains most of the methanol, if any, from the mash. However, research shows this is not the case, and methanol is present until the very end of the distillation run. [24] Despite this, distillers will usually collect the foreshots until the temperature of the still reaches 80°C (176°F). [25] Additionally, the head that comes immediately after the foreshot typically contains small amounts of other undesirable compounds, such as acetone and various aldehydes. [26] Fusel alcohols are other undesirable byproducts of fermentation that are contained in the "aftershot," and are also typically discarded.
