Making a mini moonshine

The abundance of alcoholic beverages on the shelves of our stores, however, does not affect the reduction in the cost of these products. And simple esthete can not afford store products.

A simple construction of a mini-factory for the production of home-brew (alcohol) is proposed. Any person with elementary knowledge of physics and chemistry can assemble the proposed design.

Structurally, the apparatus is made in a glass three-liter jar. The process technology consists in the condensation of alcohol vapor on a cooler, and the subsequent collection of the resulting condensate in a container.

At the initial stage, we manufacture the parts of the apparatus. The cooler is a metal container of 0.5 l, filled to the brim with small metal parts (nuts, bolts, washers, nails, etc.). In the upper part of the container we pierce two holes to secure the rope. The best material is copper. After filling the cans with metal, the free volume of the tank is filled with water. The container is placed in the freezer for cooling.

At the second stage, we make a watering can and a container for collecting the finished product. Any PET bottle with a capacity of 0.5l will serve as the material for the watering can. Trim the bottle at a distance of 60 mm from the neck. The capacity for collecting ethyl alcohol is made from another aluminum can of beer or carbonated drinks 0.33l. The height of the required capacity from the bottom to the top edge is 70 mm. The capacity of the manufactured containers will be about 50 ml. In the upper part of the container, we pierce the opposite two holes for attaching the rope.

The assembly of the structure consists in sequentially stringing containers, watering cans, coolers and lids on the rope.

To get alcohol in a jar, you need to fill in the raw materials. It can be mash, wine, etc.

Pour 200-250 ml of raw material into a three-liter jar. Remove the cooler from the refrigerator and assemble the structure. Lower the assembled structure into the jar. Close the jar tightly with a plastic lid.

Next, put the jar on the battery. After 10 hours it will be ready.

In the summer, when steam heating does not work, lower the can into a container of hot water. Maintain water temperature within 50 ° C. The process will also last about 10 hours.

The main advantage: it is an almost free apparatus for making moonshine (alcohol) in winter conditions. The cooler bank is frozen on the street (it is very good who has a balcony or a loggia), and we put the evaporator on a steam heating battery. If you have your own raw materials, then everything is practically free, and there is no smell during distillation.

One such device in about 10-12 hours gives about 50 ml. alcohol, if there are two, then 100 ml.
