He speaks with UNC-TV reporter/producer Kelly McCullen, in an extended TV interview for UNC-TV's "North Carolina Now" about the distilled spirit, getting caught making it and what he thinks now that moonshine is being legally made in North Carolina. www.unctv.org/n...

    Mr. Wood knows what he's talking about. I've been around several old shine makers that built time for making it BUT like he said, it was to feed their families back then. And it was hard work toting everything back in the bushes where you tried not to be caught. It's still the best thing for a bad cough. Just sip it and don't get hoggish or your head will blow off.

    My grandfather had a small farm in Trap Hill and he used to tell us about moonshiners in the woods behind his farm and the "revenoorers" that hunted for them and destroyed their stills - would have been around 1947 - 1948. My grandfathers name was Charlie Johnson.

    It ain't as simple as just paying the tax. There are thousands of pages of Gov regulations you have to follow to make legal liquor. You have to hire lawyers and chemical engineers, then buy thousands of dollars worth of Gov approved equipment. The investment is so high you will never make a dime.

    I worked with someone in the 1970 who lived in a community well known for its moonshining. He gave me the recipe and basic instructions on making a still. A couple of guys got together built a still, mixed and brewed the formula, let it work for 21 days. Then when it came time to run it through the still, they wouldn't take the chance because solder was used to put all copper still together and to connect the copper pipe to the still and filling hole. It was bottled as was and was v.effective
