The A-Z of Moonshine

Moonshine A-Z

from RAINIERDISTILLERS.COM

 

Alcohol- A colorless liquid, produced by the fermentation of sugar or starch, that is the intoxicating agent in fermented drinks. Formula: C2H5OH

Alembic- an early still of various designs, derived from alchemical equipment. Also Lambic, Lambeek, and Lambyk.

Backins- weak whiskey left in a thump keg or boiler at the end of a second run after most usable alcohol has been extracted.

Bardy Grease/Fusel Alcohol- bitter, oily liquid composed of amyl and butyl alcohol as well as other undesirable substances, found in whiskey which has not been distilled thoroughly or to a sufficiently high proof. Commonly called fusel oil.

Bead- air bubbles that form along the meniscus (the curve in the upper surface of a standing body of liquid) of a shaken liquor. The size, duration and position on the surface indicate proof. The whiskey's ability to hold a bead is not infallible gauge of its wholesomeness or degree of adulteration.

Boiler- the body of a still that is charged with beer or fermented mash and heated.

Boiling chips- small insoluble porous stones made of calcium carbonate or silicon carbide used to create an even and smooth boil in heated liquids.

Blockader- venerable ( commanding respect) term used for the one who transports moonshine, that predates modern division of labor. Named after revolutionary smugglers in the Appalachian.

Bootlegger- one who sells moonshine illegally.

Cap- removable still component that seals the top of a pot still

Cap arm- Pipe extending from the head of the still that conveys alcoholic vapors to the thump keg or the condenser.

Cape- area just below the collar of a pot still that forms the sloping shoulders of the still.

Carboy- Large glass jug

Charge-to fill a boiler or thumper with the desired volume of beer, backins'. low wines or feints. On the pot still usually 80% of its capacity.

Condenser- A metal device, in contact with cool water inside which alcohol vapors revert to liquid.

Cut- to reduce the alcohol concentration in a distilled spirit by blending it with water, beer or low wines.

Doubled and twisted- high proof whiskey or high wines that has been run thru the pot still twice.

 

Doubler/thump keg- airtight condenser sometimes between a boiler and condenser of a pot still that increases the proof of a single run, eliminating need to do double run. Hot vapors from the boiler enter under beer's surface, heat it and produce higher proof vapors that exits to the condenser.

　

Feints- the leftover liquid in a thump keg after a run, or in a boiler after second or subsequent runs. Sometimes referred to as thumper tails. These are withdrawn after a run and replaced with fresh beer or backins to provide alcohol for the thumper's doubling effect.

Fermentation- the natural process by which yeast converts sugars and starches to alcohol and CO2

Fermenter /Mash tub- tubs, barrels, carboys, boxes of vats in which mash is fermented.

Filter- the strainer thru which fresh distillate passes when it emerges from the condenser. A filter may be as simple as a felt hat, or a commercial apparatus containing activated charcoal. Filtering removes particulates (of, relating to, or formed of minute separate particles) and unwanted congeners ( a member of the same kind, class, or group).

Flake Stand- a watertight container that holds a copper worm, the end which emerges from the bottom of the container. May be a keg, pickle bucket, olive barrel, large tin. Its water never comes in contact with the spirits.

Foreshots- the first sputters of poisonous liquid that emerge from the condenser at the beginning of a run, high in fusel alcohols and undesirable congeners such as methanol. Must be thrown away.

Luting- compound paste to seal a pot stills connections to prevent vapors from evaporating

Malt- sprouted, dried and ground grain. Traditionally corn and barley but also rye and nearly any other grain that has diatase, an enzyme that converts no fermentable carbs into fermentable sugar.

Middlings- coarsely ground, intermediate grade mill products such as wheat, rye, barley or oats.

Moon shine- Illicitly( forbidden by law, rules, or custom) produced, non-tax paid, distilled spirits.

Peatreek- illicit Scotch Whiskey, named for the smell of the peat used to dry malted barley.

Poitin- pronounced puh-cheen. Illicit Irish moonshine made from potatoes. Made from sugar, molasses and grains.

Proof- the proportion of alcohol in distilled spirits. By American reckoning, proof is exactly twice the ethanol content at 60 degrees F. Under British system it is alcohol by volume ( ABV) times 1.75.

Proof Vial- a small glass tube used to estimate proof by beading. A vial of whiskey in poured into glass vial and shaken and resulting bead is read.l

Singlings- the first run of whiskey disilled in a pot still.

Still- any common form of distilling device. May just only be a boiler and head, may include furnace, flake stand and condenser.

Still house- small structure where still is kept

Swab stick- wooden stick with one end splayed out like a brush. Used to stir heating mash in a boiler and to scrub the interior walls of a large still to keep mash from sticking before it boils.

Tempering tub- tub used to blend whiskeys of varying proof either from single or multiple runs to achieve uniform proof.

Tun- any large vessel that holds liquid.
