Content: Allow to ferment for 7-10 days. Boosted "Thin Mash" Moonshine Recipe
Corn is somewhat difficult to work with during the mashing process because it gets extremely thick before starch begins to break down into sugar. This means that making a mash with corn that's higher than 8-10% alcohol can be somewhat difficult. To overcome this limitation, distillers sometimes add granulated sugar after the mash to increase alcohol content. To make thin mash moonshine, follow steps 1-6 above and simply add granulated sugar before moving on to step 7. Note, yeast nutrient should be added for any mash that either is not made with 100% grain or that exceeds 10% ABV. Below is a table illustrating ABV increases caused by the addition of sugar. According to the table, to boost a 5 gallon corn mash from 10% to 19.5% (which would require an increase of 9.5%), 8lbs of sugar would need to be added.
