25-100lbs. cane sugar (you may substitute brown).
45 gallons warm (80-85 deg F) water
1 lb. bakers yeast.
1 50-55 gal. barrel or Plastic trash can.

Place washed grain in clean barrel along with desired about of sugar. Stir until
sugar is dissolved. Let stand until mixture is cool, below body temp. Place yeast in mixture. Cover with lid. Allow 13-15 days fermentation time. When all fermentation has ceased, siphon off liquid.
