@cowboyhippie Damn Bubba, Very few know of the bead and the bubble. I was going to comment after the shake. LOL You beat me to it. Good eye. And may I say, knowledge.
@EnthalpyH Just like how some governments try to restrict firearms, but any handy person with a good selection of scrap metal and hand-tools can make a decent gun in less than 20 hours.
O.K. @soadisawesome24, what grains are you using? are you going to age your spirits in oak barrels and if so for how long? whats your source of water, natural or city supplied? how many and how big is your stills? and last question, do you and your buddies know what your doing?
hey me and some buddies are starting a distillery in alabama...not sayin where right now but we use family recipes for our spirits that come from the rum runers days...hit me up with questions
This guy looks to be authentic... anyone who says 'Smell of it' is from the hills or close by. Grandpaw used to get clear 'shine' from fellows out on Holston Mountain (beyond Bristol Tennessee) and I remember 'smelling of it' in daddy's garage in a glass jar once. I thought it was acid it was so pungent. But I knew better than to take it.... because daddy and grandpaw made it clear that moonshine was only for mountain men or men that knew them.
this is 2 all u goverments FUCK U YOU GREADY ROBBING CUNTS YOU WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER DEFIET US TRUE MOONSHINERS I MAKE TONNS OF IT MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM ALL DAY
i heard its iligal coz we dont pay tax on it why the hell should we not make it just to let them get all the profits / /theres not 1 case in the uk that i no who has been caught/ as its not as big here as in the us
I was curious about that. In the USA the Cops tend to leave the "little hobby" private distillers alone in most areas. The ATF will definitely bust the large moonshiners asses though, with prison time and high fines. Interestingly the "illegal hobby" of private distilling is gaining a big following in America & some people are crafting some high-grade spirits at home these days for sure.
@7tnorris Haha its been caught on for a while now, just making a come back :-) The ATF truely is a worthless agency, if given the chance/tip off they will bust the small guys too, but they tend to have other larger matters to attend to. Like making sure Americans 2nd amendment is thoroughly trampled on/suppressed. The big reason that the little guys dont get caught is because most of the small town cops grew up around them or parts of their families. At least thats the case where I'm from.
i make up to 160 proof which is 80% alcohol and i get oak chips and drop in a bottle and fill with moonshine then leave it to age and turn brown as it gets all the flavours off the chips/ then i filter after 2 years or a year into other bottles and seal mmmmmmmmmm loveley
I feel the same way about whiskey as you do. I love the flavors of the oak, although I don't like my whiskey to be "too woody" or over-aged. A big trend these days is the taste of "fresh whiskey" but I am not one of them personally. I appreciate the flavor of white dog but I am an old school oak man like you.
the goverments say alchol making is iligal well i say fuck emm all because they cant tax it fuk the goverment its a free world and good luck to them moonshiners no one has the right to tell anyone what to do/ tom is awsome/ i been making moonshine for years and still doing it now mmmmmmmm nector of the gods keep up the good work tom we will fuck all the goverments / the greedy cunts
Alcohol is a poison in the same way that tea, coffee and even water are poisons. Yes, even water if you drink enough of it at one time will kill you. I believe about a pound of tea boiled up is a lethal dose. There are so many myths about alcohol it's difficult to know where to start, but I'll mention one ie alcohol kills brain cells - alhtough surprising, this is not true. Alcohol, in moderation, is good for you phsically and mentally. I believe the world would be a worse place without booze.
Alcohol is a toxic substance; it is in fact a poison. That's fact and not just opinion. If I would ingest rat poison and then have a "reaction" are you saying that its "the person"......and NOT the substance?
I'm a "recovering" alcoholic. Stopped for good a little over 20 years ago...never looked back. Jesus Christ, if I lived somewhere where everyone was making moonshine I'd prolly be dead. But they take it all so lightly..
I have been looking for this for years! I saw it on IFC once and fuck if it didn't take me a few hours of searching (and getting sidetracked) to find the name of it again. FINALLY! WOOHOO!
But now I forgot who I wanted to show it to. Oh well.
Thats not why its Illegal. If that was the case then HOLY SHIT all this alcohol you can buy at walmart! Wally Worlds smugglers! xD Fuck your dirty cow water alcohol Im gonna go smoke a natural clean grown plant :D
actually dude i wish it was legal to make but thats wine u can make wine for own consumption but moonshine is absolutly illegal unless u have a permit to make ethenol(the same thing) but then ur supposed to add a chemical to make it undrinkable i though or u can get a liquor producing and selling license but i hear its an assload to buy but it is illegal to make in south carolina
Hey I was up there Sunday looking for Jim Tom only thing I found was those two dogs hes got trying to eat me up. He was not in the dumpsters or blowing fish up in the creek, but he could have been making some shine.
My uncle fell in a vat of that stuff and 3 guys dived into save him but he fought them off bravely, anyway he died from drinking to much of it, when they cremated him it took the fire dept 3 days to put the fire out.
jameswoods, Its absolutely not considered home brewing. Homebrewing pertains to beer or wine only. Most states allow you to brew 100 gallons of beer or wine per year for personal use only. Not to sell. Distilling alcohol is illegal in every state in the US if you do not have a federal permit to do so. Whether its for personal use,sale or for even fuel its illegal. Dont give people dumb advice they will go to jail for following.
I wanna get up with this guy and make some shine. He seems pretty cool. I'm only an amature though. I have a set up in the woods with a camp stove a pressure cooker and a 5 gallon bucket which I fill up with icewater for a condenser. Does he go with the whole thump keg and all or is he simple with his set up too?
them bubbles didnt leave that very quick, try using copper lined into a drop disfuzer...plus there is many kinds of yeast out there, and please people do not use radiators for this shit, its how people get caught, not sayin you do, just the last video i watched he used radiators, which leads to led poisening, that makes people made bout there liquor...plus you know a guy named popcorn? not on the internet by the way...
