Uses For Legal Moonshine

Moonshine as Fuel

Home distillers have been making ethanol alcohol at home for decades, to be used as fuel in cars and other vehicles. With the correct permit - the Federal Fuel Alcohol Permit - from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, home distillers can produce up to 10,000 gallons of fuel ethanol per year. Generally, distillers who produce alcohol for fuel are most interested in 10 gallon copper still for sale (or larger) that provide a quality batch of alcohol free of impurities; they want a still made from the highest-quality copper, so it lasts a long time.
 

Moonshine for Drinking

In the US, if you are interested in distilling alcohol at home to use for human consumption, you need to obtain a Distilled Spirits Permit from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. Once you have this permit, you can produce moonshine, whiskey, and other distilled spirits tailored to recipes you would like to try. 

While moonshine is often distilled and served in its classic recipe - flavorless and sharp - private distillers and companies are now creating a variety of moonshine flavors based on seasonal harvests and exotic blends. Owning your own moonshine stills allows you put your personal twist on classic moonshine recipes, and enjoy a customized drink with friends and family. Some of the most popular recipes for moonshine in the US include apple pie moonshine and peach moonshine. In other countries, some distillers make moonshines as wild as “weed-infused scorpion moonshine” in Bolivia, and as harsh as “Changaa” in the Congo, which translates to “kill me quick.”
