  8. Worm? • The worm is a coiled length of pipe that winds down the inside of the worm box (Tim Smith Moonshine). • The worm box is a crate or barrel into which cold water from a nearby water source is pumped, flowing into the top and then back out the bottom (Tim Smith Moonshine). • This keeps the worm bathed in constantly circulating cold water, which condenses the alcohol steam into liquid (Tim Smith Moonshine).

  9. How the Process Works • Yeast and sugar is added to the mash • Yeast breaks down the glucose in the mash to make ethyl alcohol • Mash is heated to evaporate the ethyl • The worm box condenses the ethyl steam, into liquid ethyl
