Figured I should post up the recipes I have found:

 

Strawberry

2 quart jars About 5 lbs strawberries my favorite but you can use fruit of choice 1 quart of clear Shine cut to about 45-50 % Honey 3 cups sugar clean and distribute the strawberries in both quart jars, ad 1 1/2 cup sugar in each jar, ad about 1-2 oz honey, top off with clear liquor, let sit for about 5 days every 12 hours rotate jar from its top to its bottom. for the strawberry all ya need to do is combine 3 cups of strawberries, 2 tsp of sugar and 3 cups of everclear can in mason jar seal it tight and every couple of days shake it well. ready to drink in 30 days

 

Lemon Drop Moonshine: 1 qt Lemon Juice 3 qts Water 2 to 4 cups Granulated Sugar 1/5 gal (750 ml) 190+ proof alcohol (moonshine, Golden Grain, Everclear, etc.) Bring the lemon juice, water and sugar to a boil (add sugar to taste...some like it tart, some like it sweet). Let cool, then add alcohol. Bottle, store, and drink.

 

Black berry banger

First cook down a pot of fresh blackberries with sugar. Then after the berries cook down and the sugar melts and makes a good juice strain the berries from the juice and remove all sediment...mix with shine about 60/40 chill and serve.

 

candy cane shine 5 peppermint candy canes, put in a blender grind into a powder, put in sauce pan or pot 1 cup of white sugar 1cup of water bring to a boil stir let it cool add 190 proof ( moonshine, golden grain, Everclear, etc.) bottle, store, drink.

 

Cherry Pie Moonshine - (made 7 - 1 pint mason jarswith a half batch) Ingredients 2 32 ounce jars all cherry juice 2 cans tart cherries in heavy syrup 1/2 cup white sugar 1 liter bottle everclear Instructions In a large saucepan, bring all ingredients but everclear to a boil for 10 minutes. Stir to make sure sugar completely dissolves, remove from heat. Let cool. Pour in Everclear. Pour into sterilized mason jars. Can be consumed immediately, but gets better after time. 2+ weeks is ideal!

 

Peach Pie Moonshine - (made 8 - 1 pint mason jars with a half batch) Ingredients 2 1 lb cans of sliced peaches in heavy syrup, do not drain 2 64 oz bottles white grape peach juice 2 tbsp cinnamon 750 ml bottle everclear Instructions Add all ingredients but everclear into a large stockpot. Bring to a boil and stir often for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let cool completely. Add everclear. Pour into mason jars (I like to keep the peaches in- it gives more flavor and sweetness without additional sugar in the recipe.) Since it can be hard to pour peaches into a jar without spilling liquid everywhere, I usually fill only 3/4 of the jar full and spoon the peaches in after. Store in a cool, dark place for over 2 weeks to continue to develop flavor. Mixing with tonic, soda, lemonade is delicious and helps to not overserve.

Moonshine is illegal here in the US so I'm sure the mods would rather us not talk about it here.

So everclear is the next best thing...It's legal and you can get in 190 proof- I doubt 5% is going to make or break anyone.

 

I know a few other people here like to drink and I was just wondering if anyone hand any other recipes..

I thought I would just share the one's I had. So here's the recipes me and girfriend used:

 

Cherry Pie Moonshine - (made 7 - 1 pint mason jarswith a half batch)

 

Ingredients

2 32 ounce jars all cherry juice

2 cans tart cherries in heavy syrup

1/2 cup white sugar

1 liter bottle everclear

 

 

Instructions

In a large saucepan, bring all ingredients but everclear to a boil for 10 minutes.

Stir to make sure sugar completely dissolves, remove from heat.

Let cool.

Pour in Everclear.

Pour into sterilized mason jars.

Can be consumed immediately, but gets better after time. 2+ weeks is ideal!

 

Peach Pie Moonshine - (made 8 - 1 pint mason jars with a half batch)

 

Ingredients

2 1 lb cans of sliced peaches in heavy syrup, do not drain

2 64 oz bottles white grape peach juice

2 tbsp cinnamon

750 ml bottle everclear

 

Instructions

Add all ingredients but everclear into a large stockpot.

Bring to a boil and stir often for 5 minutes.

Remove from heat, cover, and let cool completely.

Add everclear.

Pour into mason jars (I like to keep the peaches in- it gives more flavor and sweetness without additional sugar in the recipe.) Since it can be hard to pour peaches into a jar without spilling liquid everywhere, I usually fill only 3/4 of the jar full and spoon the peaches in after.

Store in a cool, dark place for over 2 weeks to continue to develop flavor.

Mixing with tonic, soda, lemonade is delicious and helps to not overserve.

 

 

 

As of the day we made it I thought the cherry was very very good and the peach was eh. She was oposite of me. However, I could have called that from the begaining because I really wanted to make the cherry and not the peach and vise versa. So we made both with one fifth of everclear- just cut the ingrediants in half.

 

Here is a price break down for the major stuff:

750 ML Everclear 190- $20 liquor barn

(2) x12 1 Pint mason jars- $7 each pack Walmart

8 Quart pot (can do a full batch later with it)- $8 Walmart

Everything else was just a few bucks..it costs about ~6 bucks in ingredients to make each one.

 

All said and done we spent <$50 bucks.

 

ProTip...when youre at walmart pick up a 75c oil funnle. Best idea I've had all month. It was super easy to funnle the moonshine directly into the jars from the pot.

 

 

I'll repost back this weekend to let everyone know how much it "mellows out" in just a week, then in two. :waving:

Moonshine is not illegal, you just can not produce large quantities for sale. Down here in Fl, I can make my own, just not allowed to have more than one gallon/four quarts at a time in my possession. I'm originally from West Virginia, so it's in my blood. As for flavors, I turn my fruit into a syrup so you can't waste anything like half of these idiot kids do down here.

[Spectormj]

Same here in tn we can make it for our own consumption but can't sell it with out the paper work and all the legal work 

Syruped fruit? then float some to eat

If ya don't know your stuff ya go blind

That's because people like to down the pre-batch. You have to still it a second time to get the impurities/imperfections out. Your body takes the pre-batch and breaks it down into two basic chemicals, formic acid and formaldehyde.
