My Dad made whiskey and brandy from the 1930's until about 1988 in North Georgia. I spent 20+ years helping him so have a bit of knowledge how to make good whiskey and brandy. We used to give the Sheriff and other officials a gallon of brandy for Christmas every year,lol. Dad raised 6 kids and sent 4 thru college on whiskey money alone. Those days are over now. I might make one more run just for the help of it. My Grandson wants to learn the craft and he is a cop! Might get us thrown in jail but that's part of the craft. Don't need no stinking license!!!! Love your vids.

Sir, you know as well as I do that the stuff they put on the shelf with that tax on it borders on poison. The agents always tell a lie about a time one hundred years ago when moon shiners used to cut corners and poisoned a few people. When this is done right in the old way it is way better than the best Jack Daniel’s you ever tasted. You get only the sweet middle part of the run. You can burn the rest in a lantern, unless you are a commercial outfit and you include that in your finished product.

Now I'm from Newfoundland and we does it almost the same. We call it a sugar mash, cause you can add whatever you want for flavour. I love listening to the ol' thumpkeg drumming up a song. And always keep a jar of backin'. The jar of the last of the run. It's funny, wherever you go people always knows how to make 'shine. And it's handed down over generations. Kinda shows us that we're all related to each other. That's a good feeling, ain't it? Cheers me buddy.

Howdy neighbor. I'm just outside Jacksonville. I've been distilling for a while now. My last run ended up being around 98%. But I cheated, because I didn't have a still and I didn't have the money to purchase one. So I used my pressure cooker. My first one I forgot to purge my lines, don't forget to mention that for the rest of the newbees. After it got done I put it in the freezer to chill, it tasted like water it was so smooth

I did my first run with this recipe and I forgot to take an SG. I let it go for about 10 days and ran it. My heads came out about 150 proof and I started getting tails around 115 and it started running at a drip. Along the way, I was going by smell and feel but I realized that it always felt a little slippery. Is that normal? At the very tail end I actually could see oils floating on top and it started to get a yellow tin, which I discarded. All in all, it turned out good and was much tastier than I expected.

I'll recommend it again: if you're a fan of one-and-done, get a thumper. It's like a 1.5-1.75 distillation. Just my experience, but I've not made anything palatable in a 1x run, no matter how slow & low it's run. That said, BIG fan of the 1.5 technique. I am very curious how your tasting comparison turns out!!!

Hi Cyrus, one question if I may... what is better, to leave low wines for some time airtight, lets say 6 months and then do spirit run or to do spirit run right away after low wine is done? I have two information about quality of final product, one said that low wines diminishes in qualities if they are put on the side and do spirit run after, pointing that spirit run should be done ASAP to preserve quality. Other said that if you put your low wines in air thight glass or Stainless container it can stay as long as you need it, it will not hurt and final product, spirit run will not be suffering in quality. So, if you have some experience about this would like to hear it. Cheers and I always watch what you do, no matter how much you know about something there is always something to pick it up...all the best!

Heat you up 5 gallons of water to a boil, pour in 30lbs of sugar and add 1 oz of citric acid and stir with the drill until it goes from cloudy sugar water to clarified sugar syrup. That syrup has been converted to inverted sugar which takes all the extra heat and bad things that straight sugar adds to your liquor. I recommend you add it to you list of things for beginners and advanced moonshiners that watch you and ask for advice. It will give whoever is doing it a one up on the guys just dumping sugar into the mash…

How do you tell that the mash is ready to distill??
@StillnTheClear
@StillnTheClear Ай бұрын
@@jonathanhall1825 the only way to know for certain is to take a reading with a hydrometer amzn.to/49O5xT2 . If you don't have a hydrometer then if the mash has stopped bubbling and has a bitter taste it is probably done.

If your in wv a single person can distill up to 5 gal for personal use. Two or more you can distill up to ten. You can also apply for a tax stamp to distill ethanol for fuel and farm purposes. I am unsure of the limits on the latter.

I mean, I get it. I never started on this but I get it. It's a lazy mans way to inject flavors onto a product but its also such a waste. It's not that hard to mash in with corn and malt grains such as barley or wheat. That truly gives you better flavors in you end product. But I mean, I get it.
