I watch this every day

 

I make apple pie moonshine. But living in Pennsylvania I have to travel to Maryland to buy 190 proof everclear. But man is it good. Every once in a while I drink a tad too much of it and end up sleeping downstairs!

 

I've had plenty of Moonshine, but what is Apple pie Moonshine???

 

Tastes like apple pie

 

Hmm. You've had some before I guess....Well do You know How they make it that way???

 

Just a note for the obsessive. Mixing ingredients with everclear isn’t making moonshine. Want to make moonshine? Build a still, ferment some grain… PS you can actually make an electric still. That way you don’t have to worry about fire, smoke etc.

 

Apple pie? No. I’ve never made it. I stick with plain old whisky and age in oak barrels.

 

To my knowledge people just add apples, pears, blackberries, cherries… to the whisky and that imparts flavor.

 

Thank You I have never heard of it before.

 

your precision is noted

 

S.T.D. here is the recipe I use. I don't manufacture my own grain alcohol. I also substitute 159 proof everclear for the vodka.

• 1 gallon apple juice
  
  
• 1 gallon apple cider
  
  
• 2 cups white sugar
  
  
• 2 cups brown sugar
  
  
• 4 cinnamon sticks, or more to taste
  
  
• 1 pinch apple pie spice
  
  
• 1 (750 milliliter) bottle 190 proof grain alcohol
  
  
• 1 75o ML Vodka

You boil the apple juice apple cider white sugar and brown sugar along with the apple pie spice until the sugars are completely dissolved. Simmer for at least one hour. You have to let it cool completely so the alcohol isn't evaporated by the heat. Seal in glass jars.

And there ya go.

 

you can buy it in liquor stores now. I’ve never tried store bought, but I’m sure it tastes similar. There’s a company out of Tennessee that makes a bunch of different flavored whiskies. If I remember correctly they’re called Smokey mountain distillery. As a general rule I’m not a fan of flavored whisky, but they make a peanut butter and a black berry that’s ridiculous and dangerous. Mix equal parts and it tastes like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

 

Ahh. I shall try this. Thank You Very Much

 

I believe the only I have tried( tried is a lie...got drunk on is what I did) was Revel Stoke Roasted Pecan Canadian whisky .

 

The store bought moonshines don't use the amount of everclear I use. I really like the kick that it provides. Just be careful!!!

 

Skrewball makes a peanut butter whiskey that is really good!

 

I will see if I can find that in PA. The government run state stores here don't carry everything

 

I will try and find that

 

I am going to try that.

 

For those of you in PA the bourbon lottery is open PLCB
