I happened to catch one of the "bonus footage" shows of Moonshiners on Discovery Channel. There was one guy on there that said they don't use "yeast". They used a corn seed that started sprouting instead. The reason - no hangovers???
I thought yeast was mostly vitamin B? Which is actually good for preventing hangovers and good for our health in general. Now, I know I should take the reason with a grain of salt because it's tv, but they seemed pretty sure of it.
I wonder if, besides the guys on tv, anyone has tried this method? Seems like a fun experiment for an empty juice jug some day...
