Many people wondered: what is sam? Everything is quite simple - it is customary to call the well-known moonshine with such a word. Sam has his own characteristics and nuances that you should familiarize yourself with before starting to produce or consume a drink.

Beverage production technology

High quality sam drink can only be obtained if the technology of its production is strictly followed. This process includes the following steps:

• Preparation of raw materials. The main raw material in the production of sam is m alt. It is first germinated, which takes an average of 5-10 days, and then filled with water in a ratio of 1 to 2. Every few hours, the water should be changed so that it does not ferment and deteriorate. After that, the grains are laid out on a baking sheet and cleaned in a dry place. When the sprouts reach 6 mm in length, m alted milk is extracted from them.
• Fermentation. The process is started with the help of yeast. The temperature at which it flows most efficiently is 20 degrees.
• Distillation. They begin to distill the sam when the temperature of the mash rises to 68 degrees. The first drops of the drink will be very harmful, as they containyourself a huge amount of harmful substances.

• Cleaning. Sam drink is purified with charcoal or potassium permanganate.
• "Refining". Various additives are added to moonshine to improve the taste of the drink (for example, honey, sugar syrup, tea, etc.).

Benefits and harms of drinking

Like any other alcoholic drink, sam can bring both benefit and harm to the human body. Properly prepared sam can be taken in diseases of the stomach or duodenum - for this you should drink 1 tablespoon of the drink in the morning. Due to the high alcohol content, moonshine can be used as a disinfectant for open wounds - this significantly reduces the risk of infection or infection.

Quite often, Sam drink is used to prepare various tinctures. The most common of these is mint. To do this, moonshine is diluted with fresh chopped mint in equal proportions and cleaned in a dark place for 10 days. It is worth noting that this tincture is diluted in water - 100 grams of water fall on 15-30 drops of tincture.

If the moonshine is not made correctly, it can become cloudy and cause severe harm to the human body. Cloudiness is caused by the presence of toxic substances - the use of such moonshine is likely to lead to poisoning.

Dangerswhen self-made

Home-made moonshine may not always be of high quality and be beneficial to the human body due to the following reasons:

During the distillation process, mash produces a lot of volatile and toxic substances. To remove them all, you need to make a perfect cleaning of the drink in the factory, which cannot be replaced by numerous chemical precipitations at home. As mentioned above, the first batch of distillation (2-8%) should not enter the human body at all

During the distillation, the vessel is maintained at a temperature equal to the boiling point of alcohol. However, it is worth considering the fact that alcohol is able to evaporate at a lower temperature. Because of this, substances such as fusel and essential oils can get into the final product. Purification in such a situation is done by re-distillation or rectification

Cooking recipes

Also worth checking out is one of the more popular recipes for homemade sam drink, starring potatoes.

For cooking you will need:

• 10 kg potatoes;
• 4 kg oats;
• yeast;
• water.

First, you should grind the oats and mix it with boiling water. Then you need to grate the potatoes and add them to the oats with water. Next, the mixture is left for 5 hours, after which yeast and water are gradually added to it. After that, the container is removed to a dark place - as soon as bubbles begin to appear in it, you can distill.

There is also a recipe for making sam without using yeast. In this case, beer will play their role. To make a drink, you need 1 liter of tomato paste, 15 liters of water, 0.25 liters of beer and 5 kg of sugar. First you need to mix the pasta with water, then add sugar to the resulting mixture. Then the "gruel" is kept warm and distilled.
