Clean chang'aa and busaa is just ensuring your ingredients include clean starch like from organic maize, good yeast, clean water, clean apparatus (fermenter, distiller, boiler). Also, ensure your personal and handling hygiene is good. making alcohol is sensitive as a small speck of dirt can make u end up with a different chemical component that is not alcohol.

From my understanding, busaa is just a stage in preparing chang'aa i.e. chang'aa is distilled busaa. and busaa is a result of fermenting germinating starch e.g maize. that has been heated to get the sugar required in fermenting.

once you get your busaa, heat it to 78degrees and capture the evaporating alcohol and you've got yourself chang'aa.

you can improvise on equipments from things found around the house but I would recommend you buy a complete home brewing kit which would be easier to get approval in accordance to mututho law. I have tried to acquire one but noone seem to have stocked them here in Kenya.

[quote=Kusadikika]I seek knowledge.

I want to know how to make good chang'aa and good busaa. Anyone in here with a list of equipment and ingredients needed and step by step instructions of how to make any one of them please share. Any information will be highly appreciated.

I believe these brews are traditional to Western Kenya so when I say good chang'aa and busaa I mean the authentic traditional kind that would have been made say 100 years ago.

Anybody with knowledge of the history of the 2 brews please share also. What are the origins of the names chang'aa and busaa? Are they luhya?[/quote]

[quote=Impunity][quote=McReggae]@Mr. Tyrus,
Busaa is not a stage in preparing chang'a, the chang'a raw materials are different from those of busaa:

For starter, busaa yu need fresh clean maize: Chang'a it ranges from ugali remains, rotten dry raw maize, by product of busaa and many others!!!![/quote]

:-d :-d :-d :-d

Please dont cheat people, pure chang'aa is made from clean sugar, molases and even honey.

Omera pure changaa is best found in Ugenya followed by Alego, I'm an expert at making this stuff as I did in my early stages of life!!!!
