So, before transferring your mash water, make sure you wash and clean your still again.Congratulations! You’ve had a good run, finished the entire process, and now have your very own moonshine! Make sure you clean up your entire setup, let it thoroughly dry, and then store it in a cool, dry place. How Much Moonshine Does This Recipe Yield?
