Idk anything about making of alcohol, but if i had to judge, these guys are absolute geniuses
Researcher popcorn Sutton. He was the ultimate moonshiner!
Try Barley and Hops Brewing and learn the Right way
They are far from it. Half the shit they said was incorrect.
These 4 are MoMo's
What
Fake or not, this show brought the biggest joy to my life, distilling. A fantastic hobby.
There’s a difference between fake and scripted this show might be scripted but these guys are legitimately making shine some of these dudes have real shine companies now selling shine legally it’s a very real art and tradition they are carrying on and sharing with the world
i been felling the exact same way, the show got me started on homebrewing and distilling and i learned alot every time i watched and it feels like im at home with these ppl and the whole atmosphere of the show ,love this show with a passion and hope it keeps churning up new seasons and never stops
For all the stoners out there, it’s like having a bong with 2 perks lol
Makes sense..since I have no clue how alcohol is made or infused etc etc.
i see...🧐
Where is the Apple Pie super THC Moonshine? YUMMY!!!
A percolator is used to diffuse, not infuse. This is definitely not like a bong with two “perks”
Mitch Leake you must be a lot of fun at parties. Lmao
Those are actors... them overalls are suspiciously clean
jew slayer gotta put your Sunday best on
So im not the only one thinking this lol the overall caught my eyes too! Not a single spot on them
Brand new camo t's as well lol
Thems R TV Star likkr makers .. you know thems hillbillys let er go rite to their heads .. theyuns aint eatN possum no mo theys eatN mac Donalds. With real cheese no more of that government approved free cheese .
The raccoon pecker bone was fresh. Still had blood coming out.
I'd say you're correct, but not 100%.
Those god damn O'DRISCOLSS!!
Have sum God dam faith Arthur
Lmao 😂
We just need more MONEY
Tahiti Arthur, TAHITI!!!
Just one more score arthur
These guys are artists and engineers. They have a craft that's for sure
I WONDER WHEN WE WILL GET A METH LAB REALITY SHOW...😂😂
Vice channel lol closest I can think of
Drugs inc
@@cee5714 lol I assumed he already knew but yeah we got vice documentaries and about 12 other shows like drugs Inc shit got really popular last few years
Breaking Bad was a documentary.
Breaking bad lmao
This is just Trailer Park Boys: Discovery Channel edition
I am the liquor
*stumbles down the stairs*Do you know where a man can find a drink around here?
So which one is Ricky and which one is Julian? RIP Jim Lahey
I am the liqour
Lol
I really love how creative these guys are.. they are always welding something to me more money😂
It’s great when they argue in their southern accents
It feels like the show producers asked these guys to wear overalls
"good enough for gubment work" was something my dad said a million times
thanks for reminding me of that, RIP dad
Alot of people hate on mike but he is honestly my favorite moonshiner on the show and he has a lot of great ideas with his shine boh
Problem is he is a douche bag, which makes the other stuff hard to give credit for. I will admit, I like some of his ideas
1:46 *HOWLY DAYUMN*
I feel like these guys are wearing costumes. They are playing what the world thinks they should look like.
Joe Parks forsure, just like duck dynasty
One thing about reality shows.. a lot of it is not real.
Ummmm you ain’t callin Popcorn an actor nor JB, Nor Jim Bob. Tim Smith, Digger, and Mark and Tickle may get offended as well. Lemme ask you, you know how to make a run? I doubt it.
Wolfgang Hood damn straight
@@WolfgangHood8404FMF Popcotn Sutton was a real moonshiner though. No grouping up these mfs with him lmao.
I believe these gin baskets are a new invention worthy of consideration. for any shine. It is brilliant for brandy at least. If some fruit was added to the thump keg too it may work even better.
Those are essentially working as two miniature thump kegs more than they're a gin basket imo.
Yeah but they won't really add much flavor to the brandy.
You can taste them Main-goes. 🤘
Hi I’m here from NileRed. This is the beginning of my transformation into a mad scientist moonshiner.
Gaizkia I love Nile
Well don’t do anything you see on the show! I mean collecting all the product in a plastic 5 gallon bucket 🤦♂️good way to get poisoned and not making any cuts show is a joke now the mason jar idea will work but you have to be careful don’t wanna get any fruit in the pipe
Chezley McDonald aren’t certain plastics immune to even hydrochloride acid ? Depending on if they got the right type of plastic this could be ok. Even the wrong plastic for a short time wouldn’t matter . But over time it could change the flavor and dissolve chemicals into it. Plz lmk
I did one run of corn mash. But I make only a Mango honey mash now. It comes out at 130 proof on one run. I put it through a Pure water filter like a Brittany a few times to take some of the burn out. Then float fresh slice of mango in it. PERFECT EVERY TIME.
Mango honey corn. That's some serious mountain brandy.
Damn, how come I never heard of this show. I need to watch every season with of it.
czcams.com/video/glQjCKAI4gA/video.html 😉
It's so damn funny that damn near every shine Video on here on the comments says something about Marvin Sutton / Popcorn Sutton. He was my wife's uncle, and yes I knew him quit well before he died. Yes he was a cool dude, but lived a hard life and people always talk as if he was a bad person or a hard ass just for running shine. He was just a man that tried to survive and get by. He will always be missed.
Never met the man personally, but I hold a deep respect for him. Just seeing pictures of him tells the story of a hard life.
I’ve added a jar to mine but I when I tried strawberries I couldn’t taste a difference. On today’s run I but some shine from my previous run in my thumper. My alcohol level went from 160 to 170 I guess I was adding water back into my run. My concern with adding more jars is the back pressure. If it goes backward I call it farting & burping if it goes forward. When I stop my run what’s in my thumper farts back into my still. Now as so I turn off the heat I loosen my fittings so it doesn’t. This is a show so there’s things we’re not seeing. The best I’ve done on my first run is 130 not 190 like the show. It changes throughout the run. Cheers 🍻
Doesn’t get more American than this...
The Babylonians distilled spirit even before Leif Eriksson where born... Mango are native to India, kiwi to China, Pineapple to Brazil... I find it hard to understand how you ended in that conclusion.
@@jensthronborg5161 🤦🤦🤦
@@jensthronborg5161 USA USA USA!!! ha
Yeah, fake and insultingly stupid
U gotta love the hillbilly technology
I love this show one of my favorites to watch, but what I cannot figure is he said by extra distilling with the gin baskets of fruit he said it would produce more liquor. They only made six gallons on this run so without the gin baskets they would have only yielded 3/4 gallons.. seems like a lot of work and a big drum of mash for a small run of moonshine even flavored shine
They had sixty gallons of wine? That 15 gallon keg would've had to run all day to pull 6 gallons.
They've beaten Jameson they dont just have triple distilled they have quadrupled distilled
You can’t distill 4 times 3 max anymore you will have jet fuel
@@coreypatrick7214 r/wwwooooossshhhh
the platter man the biggest woosh
Woosh Woosh Woosh
That’s a good idea how they’re adding flavor to the moonshine👌🏼💸
These men seem like the Einsteins of the moonshining business.
So what was the deal with this show, A bunch of licensed distillers running around acting like outlaw shiners?
There is certainly a distilling license involved somewhere.
yep, you can tell buy how small the set up is. A keg like that is 15 gal, minus the expansion room you leave the most that they can do is about 11 or 12 gal per keg per run. And prob closer to 10 gal per keg, at a very generous 20% alc vol and for simple math that would be 2 gal alc per keg per run lol. is it really worth the effort for that small batch? They wouldnt be risking jail out in the woods and all "the work" just for a few gal so yeah licensed. Might be more believable if the had 100 gal or bigger set up hehehe
@@marcelgaddis9319 they used to get licenses for moonshiners to be on the show but not they just use actors
Exactly. They're all legal distillers and they're distilling water in the woods for the show. It's just a dramatization, it's not a documentary
@Johnny Sinns Im not entirely sure but if i had to guess its because the IRS doesnt get their cut.
All in. This looks like a fun hobby. Some mechanical inclination, a taste for fine flavor, looks fun and satisfying, rewarding. No different than raiseing and painting a fence... just sit back at nite and enjoy your work.
Except the fact that if u fuck up, you blow up😖
@@EAZYED420 you never played with fireworks as a kid?
I mean, they're not cooking meth. And im not exactly sure how much pressure is generated with that stuff but no guts no glory. Humans dident make it to the moon by being safe
“Yes Mr. White! Science!”
Damnit, when I first saw this I knew i was gonna be drawn to it for a hobby’s. Why do I like this.
Absolutely mouth watering, I need me some of that right there.
Looks delicious
Looks like a next day throbbing thumpin' header. c'mon menudo.
Or some spicy aguachiles lol
Just how do they clean the inside of those keg stills if they dont have a cleanout port? Or are they just cheap stage props?
I think, if you have a still that isn't mounted you could probably lay it on its side and spray it out that way and dump it. But that's just a guess.
You don't
“It’s loud”😂😂
Which is code for something that smells really hardcore, like dank weed is "loud"
“It’s loud” universal term
Lord Almighty I need me a gallon of that stuff my liver aint had a good clean out in a long time praise the Lord for some good old country boys.
If your looking to try something new try this. Popcorn Moonshine. Moonshine made with popcorn. Not malted or ground popcorn but popped popcorn! Pop the corn using a hot air popper and then take the popped poppcorn and throw it in a blender or food processor until a powder and add that to your mash for flavor. I would think thats the best way for the yeast to get every molecule of starch to eat. Should make for a unique flavor profile. Might even cut down on the amount of corn needed for a run. Also might need to use that enzyme to help break down the starch. Any grain that you can pop should work too.
Those jim baskets are a interesting idea
Mark and digger are the bosses of the moonshine business lmao
That fruit would make great mixed drinks or one hell of a morning smoothie.
Those fruits looked juicy and tasteful as hell
Y’all better cut a V in the bottom of them long copper pipes in the gin jars because if it is flat & it stops up it will blow the jar! Just watch
They all sound like mater. XD
Ancient Keyboard Warrior mater sounds like them
Hope they're using lead-free solder.
They are making moonshine I doubt they give a shit about lead 😂
Lol I love how he said double destilling adds gallons.. Bro.. you would get less volume higher abv.
Overals are a must.
Thank You. Your vids are in "sinc" that means alot when I wanna watch vids threw out the nite. Been watching yours. Thanks
Ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol, C2H5OH, is a colorless flammable slightly toxic compound that is made in fermentation and is used as a solvent and as an antifreeze. Ethanol also known as ethyl alcohol because it is commonly known as the alcohol found in alcoholic beverages.
I'm concerned about how the heads can get infused into the fruit jars for a much longer time than expected. Might end up with great tasting poison. I think the jars attachment should be attached after the head gets poured out. My mother died drinking amateur sourced moonshine. Her skin went mustard yellow and lost most of her body weight and logic in the brain before she passed.
That sounds like severe jaundice
thats horrible brother god bless u and ur mother in heaven
@@ambiguoustvreference835 yea, thats what alcohol does. The same thing happened to my Dad, only it took him twenty years of beer to get there, instead of one bad lot of moonshine
These gin baskets are actually a style of thumper, its no different than using a thumper. The heads, while they dont taste good, wont poison you unless it isnt cut with the hearts.
Ethanol washes methanol out of your system. If you think heads mixed with hearts and tails is poison, you shouldnt be drinking beer, because its the same thing
Methol alcohol (the heads) is converted into formaldehyde in the liver. Burns the liver and can cause blindness. So depending on how much you drank and how good your liver is, it can absolutely kill your liver and jaundice will be a side effect of that
Six gallons??? Didn’t you say you were gonna yield ten - twelve gallons. Hmmmmm
Right?
With distilling you have the heads,the heart and the tails. The heads get thrown out. The tails can be saved and redistilled.
@@BlackberryDazed
Foreshots are thrown out
The later heads can be drank, but can cause headaches, exspecialy if you use lots of yeast for fermenting.
Hearts are definitely kept
Tails are reran back thru with new mash/ wash refill. You can rerun heads as well if ya want too.
Being that keg holds 15.5 gallons I don't see 10 gallons better yet 12 coming off it. If lucky he will get 6-8 gallons before the tails start to get below 80 proof/ 40%. I usually only get 5 - 6.5 gallons that are keepable out of 15 since I don't fill mine to the top. That range 140 -85/80 proof.
Yep... His math is backwards. The purer the liquor, the less you get, not more.
You’ve still got sour mash
Absolutely genius

“Well ima am holding it”😭
Good dudes right here
I dont know what it is but i love this dam show something about making illegal alcohol keeps me interested hahah
damn i would love to try that
I'd say these guys are Einstein on shinning.
Huummmmmmmmm
Got me thinking dame that's smart idear
These guys are like woods Chemist they're so resourceful
Love this program
Never thought I'd see hillbilly moonshiners handling tropical fruits 😁😁😁
"We could be on a chain gang..." yeah, if not for your liqour license. I wish they'd just make the moonshine and not lie about how much risk they are taking
Man i really like his hat
Yummmmmo!! What a treat to watch, got me drooling.
Yo he just said that shit is distilled four separate times lmfao 😂
Science is great
Oh please make an Apple pie Thc infused mix. 😍👍😜👌😎
Yessss
Overalls camo tshirts. Its exactly how i would of pictured these guys Before watching the video
Popcorn sent me 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Its like Bong for moonshine 🌙 🐮
fill jars with copper wool and increase alcohol percentage even moor
Lol!
Can’t front, I wanted a taste if it when they finished it lol
That would be dope AF if these guys collaborated with the Hatfield's & McCoy's
Love to get my hands on some moonshine.
Just buy some from your local store
He misunderstood the double distillation, if you double distilled you get a higher proof alcohol but less volume
Don't mind me
I m here for that accent 😁
And why are they calling it brandy when it has no wine base? Brandy is a liquor produced by distilling wine not corn mash that's run through fruit.
Because idiots need to rename the paint thinner they are producing. Where I live I can buy Everclear, the same as shine. It's 190 proof also and by no means mistaken for brandy.
Me and moonshine buddy back in 2015 did the same setup mason jars
Wouldn't have put the gin jars that far apart. The farther the vapor has to travel the more energy required to keep it in vapor.
Cooking off fast contributes to that old adage "That's harsh!".
I like how in the title it says STILL ... they never finished because they kept drinking it before it was finished this production was made by 2 drink billies.
I hope the pipe flux added more flavour than the fruit.
Grandpappy told me NEVER NEVER use glass thumpers. It's no different from boiling gasoline in a glass jar. If the jar breaks, you're in a whole world of hurt.
Any thoughts?
Pure 😁👌🥃
I seen these guys on red dead redemption!?!
Incognito one 😂😂😂
@@biscuitdadogg1106 lol
Incognito one lmfaoooo
How did u guys deal with the Revenue Agents?
I hope Daniel is doing alright. Mike basically abandoned him after he hurt his back
Wouldn't the fruit be contaminated from the poisonous liquid that's normally discarded
You know these guys make some breaking bad meth
A lil bit of msg,in your gun basket,and look into bull city flavors to add flavor to your run,you could be the best
You guys are always bashing this show it man be real
SURE SOUNDS GOOD
that doesn't seems safe : You first get methanol (dangerous) then ethanol (safe), but with their method, the methanol get stuck in the jar and then the ethanol go with it and gets "contaminated".
This guy here! 👌
Yeah but their triple distilling it 🤣
What trulys and white claw is made from.
These people interesting to listen too
Why not have a bypass on ginbaskets so foreshots vapor doesn't taint gin basket contents so only ethanol contacts the fruit/flavor?
Did they not put any tails in the mason jars with the fruit ? It would probably give some taste but without and alcohol idk how it would improve alcohol % or quantity.
🧠❤️Moonshine & Peyote, YUM. 1970 Who Concert in SF. 😋 ✌️ ☮️
"now just chuck the heads" *throws poison in creek
everytime i see them throw "heads" away Im like you can use that in place of gasoline like run it in your car..........
It's still only 2x distilled. They only have one thumper. You can't say it's quadruple distilled if it's not running through semi finished spirits. Just because it's going in those jars, it's not another distillation.
No. There is not enough methanol distilled in a concentrated state in "small batch" to harm anyone. It will give you a helluva hangover... And the antidote for methanol poisoning is well alcohol... Don't drink fores, drink the hearts cut.
Methanol poisoning was an introduction of wood alcohol during prohibition by the US government to deter people from consuming distilled spirits. Thousands of people died because moonshiners distilled commercial grade alcohol to ramp up production.
Today we call it denatured alcohol at the store. About $9 a gallon.
Google wood alcohol. It's an important history lesson.
Agreed. Thumpers are 1/3, 1/2, or equal in size to the boiler. Anything smaller without reflux from a dephlegmator doesn't do squat. If anything they are diluting the product by adding flavor from each "basket".
Mason jars in the vapor stream are a HUGE NEGATIVE in the distilling community. Been frowned upon for years and is not a new idea. WHEN they FAIL, it is bad news. Flammable vapors and a open flame never end well.
