I used to work for this old Italian farmer and he had gallon jugs of grappa in his wine cellar. He used to give me one here and there and man that stuff was some crazy stuff.

Im just so glad to see Tickle healthy. When this show first started, I didnt think hed live this long. Glad to see the show giving a nod to distillers from different parts of the world. You can get awesome Vodka from old ladies in the former USSR, poutine from Ireland, Saki from Japan.. There are artisan distillers hiding everywhere.

[@SortenRavn]

Idk Who came off worst.. Josh or Tickle Both very.. accident prone and larger than life

[@YTubeScandalScrambledMyHandle]

​@@SortenRavnlol Josh from Columsy NC has deserved every misfortune he got for how he treated Bill. I know he's tried to make amends & isn't really a "bad" guy. Hopefully Bill will remove the voodoo he cast on him lol. I think he's been punished enough & I'd hate to see him incarcerated.

I'd love to see them do a poitin, if they haven't already.

"I'm gonna hug my chickens when I get home" is not something you hear every day. Haha

[@cindy8031]

I love this show.Its amazing how these men and women can make this shine out of anything ❤

[@kaseyhayes2301]

My aunt and uncle used be good friends with a Greek guy that would bring them some grappa. The old man owned a local restaurant, and to this day, they have all passed. The son of the old man still owns the same restaurant, and we have shared stories from those past years and some grappa.

The only other time I ever heard about Grappa was from that first scene in the movie "The fifth Element"

I wouldn't even attempt to go on the show unless i could read the bead and call the proof, its not hard to learn how to do really, but nowadays folks are spoiled with hydrometers and dont really have to take the time to learn to proof by the bead, that was one of the first things i taught myself when i got in to distilling..

[@hodgepodge5290]

You're one of those guys.

[@DamacusSquared]

I mean it even if you use a hydrometer, you can always shake the jar and watch what it does and remember "Ah, that's what 150 proof looks like." Or some such. Hydrometers can also be used to verify what you're seeing.

[@dillfincollins6516]

@@DamacusSquared I agree, hydrometers are a must have tool, but I also feel like people should learn the old ways as well but that's just my opinion, but your right, I learned to read the bead but with the use of a hydrometer, I have jars of different proofs that I shake and study all the time, but they were originally proofed with the hydrometer I'm still a rookie in this craft, only been doing it about 2 years but I've learned a whole lot about the craft.

[@jediknight1294]

Given the fines for putting out something hotter than labeled for professionals you CANT rely on the bead that's the problem Thats why we don't do it and when working in large volumes people forget how. It's something I'm doing now I'm working on single gallon runs and it's... A different world

[@jmason61]

This came up randomly.....umm all I can figure out so far is HOT might be something important haha

[@charlescox290]

But this isn't Italian moon shine. It wasn't illegal in Italy.

[@carl5536]

I'm going to comment again on Mark and Diggers apple 🍏 rye whiskey..It was good although I bought it for keep sake but that didn't last long at all lol 😂

[@scottymckibban2660]

That’s where I was born in Venice Italy

[@scottbivins4758]

It's not that hard to read a beed like just shake it if count to ten if the beeds are gone soon as u get to ten you have good liquor and good proof

[@KennethNoisewater-z4s]

Tickle dun did it again

[@CaveyChange]

Chickens will always make u happy😊

Why would their opinion on something none of the “judges” have ever made themselves matter not sure why they had this episode but then again i dont like this series they bring people like mike whatever his name is who is a horrible person

[@BigDaddy-vr2ut]

There’s no such thing as Italian moonshine

[@scottbivins4758]

You do realize it's called moonshine because Uncle Sam don't get it cut and it's made under the cover of darkness its moonshine if the government don't get it cut its moonshine

[@xaserizm]

I guess you didn't listen huh?

[@SortenRavn]

What would YOU call it then? 🤔

[@scottbivins4758]

@@SortenRavn right. Maybe it's just a good old boys in the backwoods that call it that.

[@SortenRavn]

@@scottbivins4758 if you make it under the light of the moon.. Its moonshine Here its called "home burnt" But important part isnt the name, its the tradition and the preservance of the craft

I'd like to see more of Kelly's brewing
