Hi all, I was watching a video the other day on how to go about making moonshine and the fellow used horse feed (Onate Feed Co.) sweet feed. He cooked it with water for an hour then let it cool, strained it, added sugar and yeast then set it aside to ferment. Ten days later it had stopped fermenting, he then went about the extra steps to making shine.
MY question is this: Couldn't we just just take that and bottle it at the stage where it actually stops fermenting and bottle it? Would it make some kinda of "beer" at this stage after conditioning for 2 weeks or so?
This is not a prank question, I am really curious if anyone has done this and how it has tasted or if there is some reason this liquid gets cooked into shine rather than just getting bottled. Is it the ABV 'proof' they are after besides the obvious "I made 'Shine!" or is it simply not drinkable?
