It has a much cleaner, smooth taste then traditional moonshine made with corn.
Get the same still we used in the video amzn.to/3l4MyKn
Gonna need some yeast amzn.to/3kYoTvh
Check your ABV with a hydrometer amzn.to/3rybCvC

The best and most straight forward tutorial on TH-cam. No 25 different enzymes, fire juggling, summersaults, brandy baskets and quadruple distillation. Just the recipe, time and measurements.
I subbed as soon as he said “fymb”😂
Thanks for watching.
Same here that's funny shit
Lmao so did I that shit threw me off
I’ve watched A LOT of shiner’s channels and yours is the best hands down! I dig it brother. We are one in the same.. keep the content coming and thanks for all the info as I am a beginner shiner.
That still is awesome 👍
Love and support the channel brother. God bless you and yours. Keep them coming.
SUPER AWESOME!!! I’m making this! Thank you and keep FLYING HIGH with a SHINE! 🛫🛫🛫
Nice work man. Thank you for sharing!
Back home, there is no corn as base, simply fruits...and shine is the best!
Best video I found after many many many other videos. Thank you very much ✊🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥
definitely gonna try this next season with my crab apple tree. good video
@Preston Hanson still gonna try it... for science lol
@@hurtinalbertan3844 how'd it go mate?
My great uncle use to place a piece of apple flavored jolly rancher candy inside of every jar before he stored the jars in his cellar. He said that the sugar in the candy did something or another causing it to taste ten times better. Apparently he was right because people would drive up from Atlanta and buy every jar he had.
Your Uncle sounds like a very cool guy. Jolly ranchers are awesome.
Great Video for a beginning hobby distiller!! I use a thumper and after fermenting the apples I add some into the thumper. I have the ability to by-pass the foreshots from the thumper and after the foreshots are removed I switch the thumper to direct the steam from the still through the apples in the thumper. I get a lot higher proof as well as more flavor from the apples.
Awesome channel! I've binge watched probably over a dozen of these videos in the last few days. Is there anything more american than brewing moonshine next to a car seat and using a harbor freight tool kit as a table. Awesome
i like this guy, he's a straight shooter. great tutorial!!
Thanks for watching.
It's 2020 and this shit is still hillarious .
Cheers man.
You are so American. I love your videos so much.
I’ll be making this,this weekend seems super simple!! Did you by chance use the same shine from this run to make the apple pie shine!?
outstanding!!!
Thanx u helped me alot
Man I love watching your videos. I make my moonshine here in Canada too. I would like to send you a video of me making my shine.
Send it to me through messenger on the Phil Billy Moonshine Facebook Page.
isn't it illegal to make moonshine in Canada?
@@nbeqo shhh
3:36 Of course you shop at Horror Fright. My #1 favorite place next to Menard's!
I do the same, but throw apple juice in there instead of water and use less sugar. Plenty of apple flavor in the shine. Cheers.
Good morning so I got the 18 gallon version of this still what size defused plate do you use? And what size would I use for my big pot? Thanks for any help
Have you considered making breakfast moonshine with a mash orange peel, Krusteaz pancake mix, grits mix, miss butterworth syrup, and smoked maple bacon?
Do you leave the brew bag in while fermenting?
your videos are great. Subbed
You can't fool me. You're actually Sandra Bullock.
Do you have a video on how to make apple pie moonshine?
I have a juicer that will extract all the juice out of the apples.. will this work instead of putting the apple slices in? If it does work.. do you still need to add water to it? Going to try apples but don't know if this juice would be good or what measurements to follow if it does work
How many gallon is your still. So I would get a good reading on how much heads to get read of. I got 5gal and I collect 200 and toss them.love your videos nice and love how you show whats going on.
Mine is an 8 gallon. Thanks for watching bro.
Have you ever used apple juice instead of water for your wash?
Thanks this helps I'm allergic to corn
Pussy.
thx bro!
in a new30 gal. trash can : at least 20 pounds apples2-3 varieties, fifty pounds sugar, hot water to dissolve the sugar. let cool til you can hold your hand in the water, about a 100 degrees add one jar of bakers yeast. put lid on loosely. let work til done. cook off low and slow. at least a 3 gal. return. this is a proven recipe.
Good shit.
Do you clear your mash or do you distill it with the brew bag in it?
Pull your bag along with all the solids then distill...
How many gallons of water did you add after fermentation
In your corn video you used the Britta to filter it cause of the corn, are you able to skip that step with apples or do you still recommend filtering it 3x? Sorry if this is a dumb question
filtering it is optional but it comes out a lot cleaner smelling and tasting when you just use the apples, it even tastes better. People used corn because it was so cheap, and it kind of became a tradition for some families, but almost anything else is gonna taste and smell better then corn alcohol. To make a lot of whiskeys and bourbons they double distill, triple filter, and age it in charred oak barrels, this is not always necessary, everything is up to your taste buds, and what you personally like.
The Apples were much cleaner of an alcohol than the corn.
I live in the city so I buy jugs of water from the store my moonshine comes out some what Smokey so I filter my shine and it comes out clear as day.
So do you remove the wash mash...apple stuff
You should use more apples I got a batch go on I'm using 12 lb that apples for a 5-gallon batch also you don't have to cut stems or anything off you're not going to be eating the apples
What is the title of your setting up a still 🤔
I have a question for you PhilBilly. I have a freezer full of frozen berries 90 percent blueberries and the rest is a mix of raspberries, grapes, black currents and even frozen bananas(use these all for smoothies). You think I can make some shine out of this. I know that your videos are all made from fresh fruit but do you think that this will work.
Absolutely. aint nothing wrong with frozen fruit.
Is the bag of apples still in the pot?
what is your still called?
How much apple was used?? I want to do a mix of apple pair
Live the contents
Do you keep the apples in the still or do you squeeze the juice from them in the brew bag and distil the apple cider?
No solids in your still, you’ll scorch it...
@@bigeaze5711 Thanks!
Can you mix the 3 jars to get a lower and consistent proof?
Yes you can, you could even proof it down with water if you wanted to, most people proof it down to 80, they usually keep the first jar of hearts to themselves though lol.
@@philbillymoonshine7356 lol, thanks brother, I'm trying to build a "throw together" out of a pressure cooker and some copper line. So I'm trying to soak up as much know how as I can about the process, here in Alabama we gotta just figure shit out any way we can, so your videos are extremely informative.
I use it for hand sanitizer
Hell yea man
just wondering but wouldn't you lower your sugar added since the apples carry a lot of sugar?
No, you got to feed that yeast, if you don't feed that yeast your wine will stink.
Apples aren't really all that sweet. A gallon of pure apple juice only has a potential alcohol level of about 5-7%. Using strong distiller's yeast or champagne yeast on that will make it SUPER dry and like Phil said it can create some weird flavors.
Don’t need enzymes to break down the starch in the apples?
Also, have you tried to make moonshine with wild yeast?
apples don't have starches its got natural sugars ready for yeast to use
You only need enzymes when using grains
I would use pectic enzyme with any fruit mash.
And I’d go with a champagne/cider yeast like Lalvin KV-1116 for the fermentation.
You’ll produce a much better product.👍🥃
Hi. When ur letting it sit for 14 days is that inside or outside the house?
depends on the weather, i put it in my garage i got a bucket warmer so i can do it year round they are awesome.
I can use a pillow bag right instead of a brew bag?
Egyptian Cotton 🤣🤣🤣
yes
Yes but only if you are brewing it in a stainless steel toilet
You don't need a bag at all. By the time its done fermenting it will settle to the bottom of container. Just siphon to cooking container.
Do a chili or jalapeño moonshine 👍
our apple tree fell over from a storm. now I have dozens of apples I have nothing to do with. going to try this thanks
Did you filter that thru the Brita ?
No just don't mix anything under about 90 to 100 proof and it won't get cloudy, every jar that comes out cloudy keep it and add it to your next run.
Not getting any bubble action with airlock to much yeast??
just wait 2 weeks and then smell it and taste it. People worry to much about what the airlock is doing, If you used DADY then its almost a sure thing. No Worries Bro.
Why remove stems and seeds?
I love this fricken jerk. He knows how to make the shine
I’m fukin crying 😭 😂 🤣
So you don't have to use the malted barley in this as well as the corn?
You could just use sugar, water, and yeast. Only 3 things you need to make liquor. it actually is pretty awesome it is called sugar shine, and is what most people selling it use, very clean tasting shine.
@@philbillymoonshine7356 So basically corn and the barley are the flavor?
Way back in the day they only used corn, now days we add sugar to help feed the yeast. But yes, pretty much corn is just a nostalgia thing, and a preference in taste. I know people that use potatoes, and some that use rice. Just about anything starchy has sugars in it, that yeast will eat. However Kentucky, and Tennessee have made it into an art, and you do not get much better then bourbon by using corn and wheat together, it is American greatness.
@@brandoncortright2900 Corn and barley (or other grains) also provide sugars, just not as much sugar as fruit. Whiskey/whisky started in Ireland and Scotland, where they grew a lot of barley and rye, so that's what they used. When some of those folks came to Appalachia they realized it was easier to grow corn/maize and get a bigger yield from the same acreage, so screw it, they started making whiskey with corn. Even before that, hard apple cider and jacked cider were super popular in America simply because there was apple trees all over, and once an apple tree gets growing you don't have to do much with it every year, unlike re-plowing and replanting for grain crops.
People all over the world basically take whatever the hell they've got handy and make booze out of it. ;)
@@philbillymoonshine7356 I only learned about wheated whiskey about ten years ago, and I'm kind of hooked on it now. It just has a nicer, "softer" taste than "normal" bourbon.
On the other hand bourbon with rye in the mashbill is kinda spicy like black pepper, and sometimes I like that too.
I am a McCoy, and I approve this message!!!!
How many jars will I have to throw away
Cause the menthol
250ml per 5 gallons of wash
If you mix all 3 jars together what would be the proof
Is that a trick question... about 77 proof
1 packet of yeast should be enough for 5 gallons
Will a cheese cloth work
You could just make sure you stir it while cooking, and run it through a strainer before you distill.
Where can I get your still that you have there
And the base that you use that takes your propane, that the still sits on
you can get the still off ebay, and the base is just a turkey fryer you can get anywhere.
PhilBilly Moonshine 🤙🏻
What kind of apples u use, i am gonna use gala
I don't remember for sure i think they were gala's i really like fiji apples also, might try a granny smith sometime in the future. Gala is a very good choice of apple they are one of the best in my opinion.
Put some oak chips to that and you have Apple brandy
See i started my mash like that then blended the appels down to get all the juice and flavor out
Ah apple brandy. Or applejack with heat distillation
Earned a sub 👍
next time you use fruit like apples or peaches, halve or quarter them, then roast in the oven before using.
What's the rationale behind that?
@@bobnewhart4318 Short answer: Brings out more flavor.
Can u make a vidjit on this?
@@nflmixo9357 I'm old. I have no idea what a vidjit is.
To elaborate on my "short answer" - I haven't done anything with apples but the principles should be the same.
A couple of years ago I was watching a program on Food Network. They were visiting a shop that made "gourmet" popsicles. The owner was talking about their peach popsicles and how intense and "fresh" they tasted. He showed them his secret - he roasted the peaches in the oven before pureeing them. As he said, that makes all the difference in bringing out all the flavors.
Also, I've done this peach infusion with bourbon - I'd much rather do this with a decent product that buy a bottle of Jack Daniels Apple or some other crap.

I made sugar shine 50years ago
So you're actually making Brandy. What you actually made is called Calvados. Its apple brandy. Good job tho, I bet it was super tasty.
Yes but calvados is aged. You could call it eau de vie too.
It’s moonshine because it’s untaxed
isnt this illegal under 26 U.S.C. 5601 & 5602?
Try some champahn yeast
It does work well EC-1118 is very strong but when making shine you need that extra boost from the DADY which i think is pretty much EC-1118 with a ton of yeast nutrient added with it. I think it is the same strain if i am wrong please let me know.
Love his end of video comments... always and ending insult.
You were supposed to get rid of 150 ml or 4 oz instead of 200
I had to subscribe due to the words at end. "Check out our other videos bitch!"
Will do biiiitch🤘😎
Lets taste this shit
Love the video man thanks. plan on making some for the first time thanks a lot bitch lol
Wild apples are free, the price of corn has gone up exponentially... We have these new Flex fuel vehicles why aren't we taking advantage of this ??? Why don't they buy wild apples @ recycle centers. I'll tell you why, it's because they have the money & they're in control. So that's why I'm calling out to local Breweries. Support our local need's, support our local business's.
When you use a fruit it turns into wine distill the wine it's called brandy not moonshine.if you add some cornmeal it up the proof on the product.
Yeah but pretty much any white liquor ran threw a still is moonshine to me, until you put it in a oak barrel, especially if the moon is shinning when you make it or drink it. Jack Daniels is just moonshine aged in oak barrels and in order to make brandy you gotta age it in wine barrels. Potato, tomato, i hope you liked my vid. If you put peaches in your thumper to flavor your shit does it make it brandy, or add a few to the mason jar for flavor. I got a mountain brandy video somewhere around, its all the same to me as long as i get drunk.
@@philbillymoonshine7356 no adding fruit to a thumper just adds flavor you can make wine an add corn work it off distill it oldtimers called it split brandy maybe you need too read up on distilling spirits befor you try too make people think you know what your doing from what ive seen you dont have a clue making moonshine or brandy true moonshiners are nit in it too get drunk true shiners sipp they're product not get pissyass drunk on it stay true too the craft an heritage .
Your better off adding sugar than cornmeal to up the proof.
More sugar next time
I just want to hangout
You really shouldn't heat up a brew bag they can melt to the bottom and fuck up your pan
False bottom in the pan takes care of that problem...
Hahaha I love his random swearing comments... absolute legend!!!
im doing this with berries.
my brew is going mixed strawberries black berries blueberrries and CANE SUGAR bout 1 cup per liter, i only did like 6 liters doing a test run, building my still with a pressure cooker before my brews rdy, already had fermented fresh oranges to kick start it so 5-7 days its done. already stinkin my room n bubbling like crazy just put it together earlier.
im actually going to INFUSE it with mixed berries again once the shine is al ldone ima soak fruits directly into it. then water it down to probbly 30 % sip it str8
It's easier to use apple cider. That is pretty low proof should have use more apples
Or more sugar.
@@marksolomon969 if im usuing 5 gallons of apple cider do i still need the 5 gallons of water to help dilute the sugar
@@AngelLopez-tx3iy No
@@AngelLopez-tx3iy No just add sugar as need to raise the potential alcohol
@@monocleofmayhemsempertype7965 Don't go above 7.5 gallons leave some head space so it doesn't puke
Apples in blender before adding...
Consider refraining from the vulgarity. I was showing my 8 year old grandson because he wanted to help me make my first batch of apples. Brand new still is a project for us.
If you believe your grandson doesn't use profanity when you're not around then you're sadly mistaken
You are making a still (which in most places, is illegal) and you are worried about your 8yr old hearing vulgarities...?!? Hmmmm.....
Consider doing your job as a grandparent and prewatch what you plan to show them on the internet, rather than telling the content creator to change his stuff.
@@danielparker9135 Amazing that instead of taking a wee bit of criticism, I get flack for simply pointing out useless swearing. Believe me, I use plenty of fucking swear words, but my daughter will get on me if I don't keep it down. All I was doing was watching a cool video about how to make a good batch, and decided to give a little feedback. Somehow YT brings out the keyboard warriors.
It's NOT illegal to make your own drinks here. Thought I'd learn a thing through a video. At this point, I about done giving feedback or writing any comments. Maybe I should just let YT and everyone on it go fuck themselves ???
Odd story: One day I had my grandson in the shop. We wanted to know a little about painting my 1969 Mustang, so I entered "body paint"... about that time my daughter came out. This fucking YT was filling my screen with naked women being painted. My daughter yelled at ME.
I can't win.
@@danielparker9135 Should I also pre-eat his food for him? Maybe I should watch the movies before he does..?..so I can be sure I've done my "job" correctly?
THIS is why I don't like to comment on YT.
Pointless. So many gaps in the information. Enzymes? Racking it over?
If it doesn't really taste of anything then why mess about, just distill a sugar wash, and how you say its 100% out of that setup well ermmm haha 💩
