Introduction
If you’re looking to start making moonshine, one of the most important things to consider is how much moonshine will a 20-gallon still makes. Moonshine is an illegal spirit made by fermenting sugar with yeast and then distilling it. However, it’s legal to distill up to 160 proofs in most states (that is, 64% alcohol).
First, you need a still.
You’ll need to buy a still, but there are many options. Copper or stainless steel is best because they don’t corrode over time, but they’s also heavier and more expensive than glass. A thermometer will help you determine how much alcohol is being produced in your fermenter so that you can keep an eye on it and make sure that your batches aren’t going too fast or too slow. You can use coolant (like water) if you prefer not to heat up the pot at all; however, this method will produce less alcohol since it takes longer for the mixture to boil off into steam before coming back into contact with the boiling point again (this process takes about three hours).
You’ll also need a condenser–a pipe that connects from one part of your still head (where evaporation occurs) directly into another part where cooling occurs through cooling tubes made out of copper tubing which has been placed inside other components like brass fittings like those found on taps or faucets in homes today! This way when we get near boiling points within our brews we simply turn them up until everything gets hot enough where steam starts coming out instead.”

Next, you need to know the size of your still.
Next, you need to know the size of your still. The size of a still is important because it affects how much moonshine you can produce with it. If you want to make a large amount, use a bigger still; if smaller, then one that’s smaller will be better for scaling down production.
The most common sizes are 10-gallon and 20-gallon models, but there are other options as well (like 30-gallon). You should also consider whether or not you’ll be making multiple batches per week or once every few months–if so, then one gallon at a time would suffice while if not then maybe two gallons at a time will suffice instead?
Then you need to know how much alcohol you want to produce.
Once you’ve determined how much moonshine will be produced and how big your still is, then it’s time to start thinking about how much alcohol you want to produce. This is where things get a little tricky because there are several factors involved.
- The amount of alcohol you want will determine the size of your still. The bigger your still, the more expensive it will be; but also the better quality products come out of it (like moonshine). If money isn’t a concern and what matters most is flavor, then go ahead and get something large like an 8-gallon or even 10-gallon one!
- The more mash needed by this larger unit means that less yeast is necessary in order for fermentation to occur successfully – which means less chance of spoilage later on down the road after opening up those bottles at home parties!
Finally, set up your still and get ready for moonshine!
Now that you have all the equipment, it’s time to get started. Add water to your still and heat it up until steam starts coming out of the top. Once this happens, add sugar or other fermentable material (like fruit juice) into the still until there are about 5 gallons of liquid in there. Next, add yeast to your still and wait for it to start working its magic! This will take a few days depending on how strong your yeast was when purchased; however, once done distilling should be ready in about two weeks’ time if everything goes according to plan!
Once finished making moonshine and drinking it anyway? Well, then good luck finding someone who can tell the difference between what came out of their still versus something made by yours truly…
