Moonshine mash is a fermented grain mixture used to produce moonshine, a high-proof alcoholic beverage. The process of making moonshine mash involves combining grains, water, and yeast to create a fermentable liquid called wort. The wort is then left to ferment for several days, during which time the yeast converts the sugars in the wort into alcohol.
Moonshine has a long history in the United States, dating back to the colonial era. It was originally produced by farmers as a way to avoid paying taxes on distilled spirits. Moonshine was also a popular drink during Prohibition, when the sale and consumption of alcohol was illegal. Today, moonshine is still produced in small quantities by hobbyists and enthusiasts.
