With addition

And finally, a recipe for moonshine from wheat withsome yeast - for those who are used to a simpler way to organize brewing fermentation.

The temperature of the heating is not more than 40 degrees.

1. Dried malt in this way grind. For example, you can use a home coffee grinder for this.
