Part 7- This Is The Last Dam Run of Likker I'm Ever Gonna Make

Join Popcorn Sutton and J.B. as they do what they do best, one last time. This film is unavailable ANYWHERE as it was Mr Sutton's to distribute personally and I felt that it was worth sharing. Film maker NEAL HUTCHESON- 2009 Emmy Award winner- created this outstanding work of art. I own no copyrights to this film. Credit goes to the film maker, Neal Hutcheson, and Popcorn Sutton. R.I.P Mr. Sutton.- You are missed.

1) what is the function of the stump keg? I understand the construction and flow of steam but not why it is important unless it is some kind of simple reflux chamber. could some one explain it a bit?

2) why do the bakkins need to be used instead of clean water or plain moon shine? I get that it is a mix of alcohol and water, and probably keeps more water and lets alcohol pass at the gas/liquid interface. but could some one explain?

@demnlordd666 1) To double distill the alcohol while removing more and more impurities. It uses the steam from the pot and pushes through the back ends, evaporating more alcohol along the way and distilling at a higher proof, (2)thus the reason you don't use water in a thump keg. Wouldn't do any good.

Hey WSK. Thanks for posting this video. Sure is interesting watching how the ole timers did this. A friend suggested I watch "The Last One", a movie about Popcorn. Have you seen it? I have not, but I think it uses some of the footage from this film. Anyway, thanks again.

@daryljo1 I have seen it. It's a fine documentary that does use quite a bit of this footage. I prefer this one though. More footage, more stories, more Popcorn Sutton and J.B. Rader. This is my favorite film.

You would think after as many stills as he made he would be better on how to solder a joint properly....he probably drank so much he forgot....fun to watch though

brings me back a few years i helped my great grandpa and grandpa run their still i was no more than 11 at the time last i made was over 20 years ago just to show my son what i had to do when i was a kid

[rmroza]

did he say he kept a coons pecker in his pocket for years?? :O

The thump keg serves as a filter for the alcohol,it improves/purifies it.Think of a water bong,the smoke gets through but most of the impurities are filtered out,enhancing any product to be smoked.The water in a bong doesn't have to be heated in order for the smoke to pass through it.Smoke is a higher temperature than vapor,which is whats coming off the still,not smoke.Water would lower the proof of the alcohol,hence back ends :end of a run of shine, wouldn't lower the proof.Another explanation.

How ingenious is the paste? Its an organic plumber's putty ,that is food grade,brilliant! And theres people that want to call this guy a dumb ass......

i like this . the family should make copies to sell so they have money to pay for Popcorns upkeep . He was a true American legend and he should have a museum built about his life and those who taught him

@jparment1

steam from fist barell goes into thump and the heat from the steam heats up the backings witch makes it steam from tump goes in worm then turs into liquid after getting chilled from cold water in worm barell
