"Moonshining as a trade, required only a few materials. Like other
forms of alcohol distillation, it is quite simple in theory, yet
difficult in practice. The four main ingredients include grain
(usually corn meal, but sometimes wheat or rye), sugar, yeast, and
water. Many recipes for moonshine exist but the essentials are to
mix one quart of corn meal and one quart of corn malt (sprouted
corn) with five gallons of water. Allow this to ferment for seven
days. One of the more colorful moonshiners in this area for many
years was Le Roy Slaven (1916-1987). Le Roy learned to make shine
from his father Cal and began drinking at age 16. He made moonshine
with Jurdan Boyatt Jr. using Cal's recipe for moonshine which is: 1
gallon - of Red Top Molasses 1 - 40 lb. bag of seed corn, soaked to
swell up and after sprouting ground up into a mash. 25 lb. of sugar
set all in a 55 gal. Barrel filled 2/3 full of water until
fermented. At this point the mash was cooked, the alcohol was
driven off and then condensed and collected.
