In the proposed recipe, only grain and water will be used as raw materials for making wheat moonshine! No sugar or purchased yeast is used. Wheat moonshine appeared long before sugar appeared, it is a traditional strong alcoholic drink of our ancestors. At that time, wheat mash for moonshine was made on wild yeast found on the surface of the grain. Wheat moonshine is one of the best grain drinks. This elite alcohol is on the same level as cognac, whiskey, rum. Wheat distillate has a soft taste and a bread aftertaste. Wheat was the main product for obtaining strong drinks, sugar was much more expensive than grain. Moonshine was considered an exclusively grain drink. Experienced distillers and connoisseurs of homemade alcohol know that moonshine made with grain yeast is “head and shoulders above” sugar. The whole secret is in replacing artificial dry and pressed yeast with natural yeast from grain crops. Thanks to the soft action of such yeast, the moonshine will have a unique cereal bouquet of taste and aroma. Based on mash, which is prepared on wild wheat yeast, they prepare the most delicious moonshine, also called wheat vodka.
