'Home' Home-made Rakia

I found some instructions that were given from a Bulgarian source on how to make small amounts of home-made Rakia in the home, rather than using the Rakia houses. The English was very bad so I tidied it up a bit and the instructions now are given. This of course is illegal in many countries, so this is just given as a piece of educational information.

No doubt this does go on thoughout the Bulgaria lands without censorship as Rakia making is part of Bulgarian culture and an essential part of their community.

Although in Bulgaria Rakia is made in large quantities, this system will produce around one or two litres.

Here is some advice on how to make a rakia at home:

• Gather some fruits - plums or grapes (or other fruit which can ferment).

• Put them in a big plastic container of 10-20 litres, the type that mineral water comes in

• Put about 4-5 kg of sugar in bottle and mix it up

• Put the bottle in a warm dark place and waiting to start ferment.

• After fermenting has more or less stop it has to be distilled.

• Take a big saucepan and put a part of mixture in it.

• Cover up the saucepan, and put one end of a plastic pipe between lid and saucepan.

• Do not put the pipe in the mixture it must be above it.

• Fill the gaps left with something so the steam from mixture to goes through a pipe.

• Find another bottle and pierce it then lay pipe through the pierce section, Once again, fill the gaps with something to make it watertight and fill bottle with water.
