What is Moonshine?
• Moonshine is distilled liquor, most common is corn liquor (Moonshine.).
(Tennessee Moonshine in a Mason Jar)
Where does the “X” come from?
• “The “XXX” signifies how many times the moonshine batch had been run through the still” (What Does the XXX on Moonshine Jugs Mean).
History of Moonshining
• Whisky tax of 1794• 1896, ten millions gallons was produced• Prohibition (1920-1933), (bootlegging,
NASCAR)• Appalachian Mountain Ridge • Franklin, V.A.

What is Mash?
• Mash is the mixture of all your ingredients.– Mash can be made from: corn, Rye, fruits,
different types of sugar, yeast, water.
(Carolina ShineFest 2011)
Worm?
• The worm is a coiled length of pipe that winds down the inside of the worm box (Tim Smith Moonshine).
• The worm box is a crate or barrel into which cold water from a nearby water source is pumped, flowing into the top and then back out the bottom (Tim Smith Moonshine).
• This keeps the worm bathed in constantly circulating cold water, which condenses the alcohol steam into liquid (Tim Smith Moonshine).
How the Process Works
• Yeast and sugar is added to the mash • Yeast breaks down the glucose in the mash to
make ethyl alcohol • Mash is heated to evaporate the ethyl• The worm box condenses the ethyl steam, into
liquid ethyl
Whiskey Vs Brandy
• Whiskey is made from corn, with a clear color and strong kick
• Brandy is made from fruits, with a colored look and a mild kick
