While this means that you don't have to worry about extra sugar or caffeine, it really means that it shouldn't be consumed straight. So unless you want to dilute your Everclear with water, you will likely be adding something that includes sugar or caffeine in order to mix it.
While Luxco is not eager to spill the details on their signature recipe for Everclear, they have offered some insights. Luxco has said that the recipe for Everclear is made with corn and they have also confirmed that Everclear is gluten-free.
This makes sense since grain alcohol is normally made from corn when made in the U. Banned in several US states for its super-high alcohol content. To put it into clear perspective, Everclear is twice as potent as the strongest mainstream hard liquor. The multiple distillation steps help remove any traces of flavor or other signs of the original cereal grain used in the fermentation.
It is used as a rectified spirit to mix other spirits to create blends such as liqueurs, brandy, whiskey, or in mixed drinks. In most cases, it is not meant to add any flavor; it simply helps to enhance the ethanol level in the finished liquid.
Consumption of Everclear straight can be dangerous as it can cause alcohol poisoning and unconsciousness. It is a clear liquid, with no taste, no smell, and no color. Because of its high alcohol content, Everclear is illegal in some US states.
Moonshine, also called white whiskey, mountain dew, and white lightning is a high-proof distilled liquor primarily made with sugar and corn. Many moonshine purists describe it as unaged and clear whiskey, known for its extremely high alcohol content and corn base.
The word moonshine is thought to reference the fact that production typically occurred during the night to avoid discovery. However, over the last few years, commercial distilleries have started marketing the legal versions of moonshine and some have become very popular. These distilleries claim their moonshine offers a drinking experience that is close to the real stuff. Check out Is it Safe to Make Moonshine? However, many still prefer to make their own. When it comes to making moonshine, one of the most important decisions you can make is to invest in a quality still.
At How to Moonshine, we still recommend our Magnum Still. The Magnum is our largest still yet so you can create even the largest recipes. This means less time making moonshine and more time enjoying it.
When it comes to taste, the Magnum has been designed for flavor. Its copper coils not only cool efficiently, but they also neutralize any sulphur in your shine. With a double vapor chamber, you also get a higher proof shine in a single run. Less time, stronger shine. Our Magnum Stovetop kit has everything you need to get started on your first run.
This all-in-one set includes a rigid multi-purpose barrel, a distillation tower, cheesecloth, a water pump, and a hydrometer! The highlight of this still is its copper coils. The copper coils are ideal as copper has an exceptional ability to conduct heat, reduce sulfur, and is exceptionally resistant to corrosion. Many experienced shiners insist on copper in their stills because of its ability to produce a better tasting moonshine. Basically, most moonshine stills have the same components: the pot, the burner, the condenser, and the doubler.
The pot is filled with mash and heated. Once it reaches degrees Fahrenheit, the alcohol and the mass evaporates and rises into the cap. From there, it travels through a copper pipe called the arm and into a barrel known as the doubler. In the doubler, extra water condenses out of the alcohol vapor onto the sides of the barrel, doubling the purity or proof of the vapor. The purified vapor then travels to a copper coil set in a barrel of cool running water known as the condenser or worm.
It's here where the alcohol vapor condenses into liquid moonshine. Both Everclear and Moonshine are unaged spirits; however, Everclear is made from grain and Moonshine from corn. Everclear is a brand name of a neutral-tasting, very potent grain alcohol. Moonshine is a general term used to describe illegally produced corn whiskey.
In summary, Everclear is intended to be water and pure ethanol with no flavor contribution. Moonshine is intended to be an unaged, rough beverage, but keeping the flavors added by the grains used in the fermentation process.
Everclear is made from a fermented mixture of yeast, corn, sugar, and water. The resulting alcohol is to proof. While the proof is the lower alcohol version of Everclear, the proof version is the more potent and dangerous one.
Believe it or not, Everclear is actually proof. Perhaps this is why many bartenders refer to Everclear as 'jet fuel'. This makes Everclear twice as strong as traditional vodka and is also likely the reason it is illegal in at least 11 states. The actual number of states where it is banned fluctuates as low as 11 and as high as There is good reason for these bans.
After all, as any seasoned moonshiner knows, drinking high proof alcohol is not right for every drinker.
Those who are not able to consume a high proof alcohol responsibly are at risk for over consumption which could lead to alcohol poisoning, or impaired judgement. While proof spirit is an extremely strong liquor, it is not the strongest alcohol you can make. I'm fine with destroying a cheap bottle of vodka, it's not so expensive. Smirnoff, however, is perfectly good for most purposes. You can definitely make liqueurs with vodka.
Get proof vodka if possible. The higher the proof the quicker and more efficient the extraction. I would suggest you pop into some local liquor stores and check out the pricing for or grain alcohol. Ok, I'll try it with the vodka. I gave the price in dollars as few will understand DKK, but I live in Denmark, where alcohol tax is very high.
Although less than the other Nordic countries. It's cheap in Poland, but it's not permitted on aircraft, and I don't drive that way too often. I believe that Everclear contains even less contaminants higher alcohols, esters, ketones, etc than typical vodka does.
However, the proof Everclear is legally sold in the other states and in several military stores in US. In Canada, Everclear selling is legal in Alberta. It can be bought with a permit for research use, industrial use, or medical use in British Columbia. However, sale of Everclear had been banned in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. It is added to other drinks such as fruit juice, energy drinks, soft drinks, and iced tea. The nutrients in 1 ounce of Everclear alcohol had been estimated as kilocalories, kilojoules of energy, and Other nutrients like fats, carbohydrates, proteins, sugars, fiber, cholesterol, and sodium are completely absent in Everclear.
Everclear is used in cooking to extract full flavor of ingredients. Medicinal tinctures, as well as certain spice extracts are prepared using Everclear. The herbs are soaked in Everclear for several days and the solid material is strained out to obtain the extracts.
Many backpackers use Everclear as fuel in specially made alcohol stoves. Since Everclear is non-toxic, it can be stored in ordinary cookware without fear of contamination.
