Description

The recipe won't take much time. Making mash or moonshine isn't simple. I suggest a recipe using corn flour, which will release starch. This is made without a drop of alcohol, using yeast. Like vodka, it pairs perfectly with salted fish, pickles, and potatoes. Serve chilled.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Step 1

    Heat 3 liters of water, then slowly add 500 grams of flour. Add the flour gradually while constantly stirring. Ideally, use a wooden spoon for this.

    Step 2

    When the mixture begins to boil, it should resemble a custard. At this point, gradually add the sugar. Cook, stirring, for about 30 minutes, until fully dissolved. Then let it cool. Meanwhile, dissolve the yeast in water, and add it to the mixture together with the malt.

    After 5-6 days, the mash should start fermenting and a foamy layer will form. Then it should be distilled using a special apparatus and consumed afterwards.
