how to make Hunch Punch Moonshine

  • Add water: First, put on a small pot on the stove. Then add around 8 cups of fresh and filtered water to the small pot. Make sure the pot is large enough to accommodate the water. It is crucial because you will boil the water. A smaller pot may not hold it. 
    Add water
  • Start heating the water and monitor it: Now, turn on the stove. As the water starts boiling, monitor the temperature. Use a thermometer to observe the temperature. It shouldn’t cross 120°F, or the later process will be disturbed. 
    Monitor temperature
  • Add the sugar and stir it: Once the water starts boiling, pour in some sugar. Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves in the water perfectly. Repeat pouring in sugar and stirring until you have added enough sugar to the water. 
    Add the sugar and stir it
  • Turning off the heat: You must be careful not to exceed 120°F temperature for the mixture. When the sugar dissolves in the boiling water, turn off the stove. It will ensure the mixture remains in perfect condition. 
    Turning off the heat
  •  Add water to the bowl: Now, take a separate bowl. Pour some warm water into the bowl. You don’t need to take a large bowl since you will only prepare the yeast here. The yeast will later work as the fermenting agent for the moonshine. 
    Add water to the bowl
  • Add and dissolve the sugar: Pour a tablespoon of sugar into the warm water. Now, you should continue stirring the mixture. It will fasten the process of sugar dissolving in the warm water. 
    Add and dissolve the sugar
  • Add yeast and stir it: Now, add the entire package of bread yeast to the mixture. After that, string it until the yeast blends perfectly with the mixture. This blending process is crucial. The fermentation process will slow if the yeast doesn’t blend with the sugary mixture. 
    Add yeast and stir it
  • Cover the yeast mixture with a plastic: Take a piece of clean plastic. Start wrapping the yeast-containing bowl with it. It will stop the air circulation and force the yeast to ferment. Thus, the yeast will be ready for use in the next step. The fermentation process will take approximately 20 to 30 minutes. 
    Cover the yeast mixture with a plastic
  • Cool off the mash with ice water: In a larger bowl, pour in some water and add ice cubes. Then, place the mash (molted sugar and water) inside the ice-filled water pot. 
    Cool off the mash with ice water
  • Monitor the temperature: You need to monitor the temperature of the mixture using the thermometer. When the mash temperature reduces to 85°F, you can move it from the iced pot. 
    Monitor the temperature
  •  Add water to the fermenting jar: You can now pour 5 cups of filtered water into the fermenting jar. Also, make sure the fermenting jar is clean. 
    Add water to the fermenting jar
  • Add the fermented yeast and put on the lid: Remove the wrapper from the fermented yeast. Then, carefully pour the entire yeast into the fermenting jar. Be careful not to overspill the yeast and water. Also, close the lid to keep it aside for fermenting. 
    Add the fermented yeast and put on the lid
  •  Wait for the fermentation process: It will take approximately 2 weeks for the fermentation process to complete properly. After that, you need to dilute the molt to prepare the moonshine. 
    Wait for the fermentation process
  • Create the mash for diluting it: After the 2 weeks of the fermentation, stir the mixture to dilute it. Then, pour the mash into the fermenting machine. Also, connect it with the electric outlet and place a jar before it. The jar will collect the fermented and diluted mash. 
    Create the mash for diluting it
  • Dilute the moonshine: Carefully add some water to the fermented mash to dilute it. As you add fresh and filtered water, continue stirring it. 
    Dilute the moonshine
  •  Prepare the hunch punch moonshine: Pour all the ingredients such as pineapple or orange-flavored Jell-O with the diluted mash. It will infuse the fresh fruit flavor with moonshine to give the perfect punch. You will enjoy the refreshing punch with every sip.
