APPLE CIDER MOONSHINE DRINKS RECIPES

Steps:

• To make this applejack moonshine first gather your equipment and ingredients. 
• Next heat one gallon of your cider to 160° F and add your sugar. Stir well until completely dissolved. This will form a simple syrup.
• Pour the syrup and the remaining 4 gallons of cider into a sanitized fermentation bucket.
• Once the mixture has reached 75° F you can add the cider yeast.
• Cover with an airtight lid and add the airlock.
• Let ferment for about 7 days or until there is a cease in activity in the fermentor. You should notice the airlock hasn’t had any movement for about two days.
• Once fermentation is complete you can siphon off the liquid into a separate storage vessel. You can also strain the liquid using a strainer.
• Place the vessel with the strained liquid into the freezer.
• Once in the freezer, ice will form at the top of the storage vessel. This is the water leaving your mixture. Remove the ice using a sanitized metal scoop or strainer to avoid contamination.
• Enjoy!
