These guys are one nephew away from flying a plane into a barn and I love it.

[@kevinsnazz]

What I like about Mark and Digger is that they're best friends and get to hang out everyday.

[@dylancarmack7852]

Which makes watching them do their thing very enjoyable…

I wish they’d give these boys their own show, it doesn’t even have to be about moonshine just turn the camera on and follow them around lol

Mark never thought id ever see the day we'd be making scotch digger but yet here we are

In Ireland we call peat "Turf" alot of kids would go to the "Bog" in the summers with their parents and help out to bring it home (for personal use or to sell ) once it's been flipped stacked and dried

[@cleverusername9369]

The only thing less likely than these guys actually doing anything illegal would be you making an actual contribution to any conversation you'll have in your entire life.

@@garygsp3 Yeah, whenever welding galvanized, we would have to stop from time to time and drink milk. The calcium helps reduce buildup of zinc.

They smoked popcorn to make moonshine too

[@ConstantChaos1]

You can actually artificially age liquor with wood chips and any quick extraction method you want (but if you use hot extraction use an electric burner the idea is not to redistill it tho you could ferment and distill it with wood chips)

Smoke Irish peat to make scotch 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@talboyovGY]

I usually watch moonshiners on sky Go. I haven't been able to lately as 2 weeks ago you missed uploading an episode (I saw that a new episode was being broadcast in the evening yet no episode following that was uploaded to sky Go on demand)! The next week I was happy to see an episode had been uploaded, apparently Mark and digger had a weevil infestation in their grain, yet when I went to watch the episode it was exactly the same episode uploaded before you missed an episode. So to conclude from 3 episodes only 2 have been added to in demand and those 2 are exactly the same episode even though the description and timescale mean they should be different. Is it discovery or sky UK who are the buffoons responsible for this farce?

The only place you can make scotch whisky is in Scotland and the islands around Scotland

[@elmejorbarbero7695]

myth busted

[@garygsp3]

@@elmejorbarbero7695 You can make "Scotch Style Whiskey" but you can't call it "Scotch" unless it was made in Scotland. That's not a myth bud. It's the same way for Champagne which can legally only be made in the French town of Champagne.

You don't call Murican redneck manufactured whiskey Scotch! Scotch comes from Scotland.

[@stevenruiz5367]

Why does it have to be copper

[@slickstrings]

Soaks up some undesirable things while distilling

[@Aaron-zu3xn]

copper removes sulfides aside from being deadly toxic if inhaled hydrogen sulfide will make liquor taste and smell like rotten eggs
