Moonshine Still – The 
Working Principle Of The 
Distiller!
On the surface, the 
Moonshine distiller is 
basically an 
apparatus which is 
designed to create a 
homemade mash 
whiskey called 
“moonshine.” The 
distiller got such an 
interesting name 
from the necessity to 
run distilling 
operations under 
cover of darkness, 
ideally when the 
moon is full. Another 
fact is that the cool 
night air also helps

process, as the 
vapor will be 
converted back into 
liquid form. 
13 GALLON MOONSHINE STILL
This post, on behalf of 
moonshine-still, will 
address to the working 
principle of the Moonshine 
still. So, let’s take a look at 
them.

First the corn is ground 
into meal. Nowadays,

commercial hog feed since 
it's mostly made of corn.
After that the corn meal 
is soaked in hot water in 
the still. Sometimes even 
sugar is added (or even 
used instead of grain), 
however, the traditional 
moonshiners added malt 
to convert the starch in 
the corn meal into sugar. 
After that the yeast is put 
in which will start the 
fermentation process. This 
mixture is actually called 
mash which is stirred 
thoroughly and heated for 
a set amount of time in 
the still.

Also, the stone furnace Moooonnsshhiinnee--ssttiillll..ccoo
beneath the still is heated 
up to about 172 degrees 
Fahrenheit (78 C). 
In this process the 
alcohol evaporates. As 
pressure will build in the 
still, the alcohol steam is 
actually forced through 
the cap arm to the pipe 
that leads out of the top 
of the still.
In some moonshiners, 
one can see the use of a 
thump keg, which is 
simply a heated barrel 
into which the steam is 
forced. 
Next in the process, the 
steam will travel into the 
worm, a coiled length of 
pipe that wind down the 
inside of the worm box.
