I always feel dumb when I watch these hillbilly dudes out creating these stills, using more math and geometry than I could ever dream of understanding and applying, and then they say "it's the best water there are", and it kind of evens out the playing field.

[@leemackay8545]

It’s not rocket science brother believe me it’s not hard

[@LordBelakor]

actually its no rocket science, its quite easy

[@seanwatts8342]

Josh, "It's the best water THEY are" meaning there is very little to no iron in it and it usually ran off a mountain with a lot of limestone it it. That water is usually clean and not acidic. Also, beware anybody who says "It's not rocket science" if they try to make any. They'll end up making methanol, fusel and probably solder joints with lead solder... The whole process involves much more troubleshooting the mash batch than anything.

[@josephnewell4822]

you can eye ball it if you really needed too.. not physics or anything like that

[@Aaron-zu3xn]

they've actually given a scientific explanation for the water as well it's natural limestone spring water used to make liquor because it will make a better mash due to PH

Yes

[@user-cs3zs6jn1d]

85% alcohol, no way that can be "smooth". I'd try it though.

[@hwoods01]

It's a TV show. There is no way to get 85% ethanol with that setup. But, if you speak with confidence, you'd be amazed at what BS people will believe.

[@potoker2296]

Use a series of thumpers to do this in one shot. The thumpers can also be used to add flavors if you put candy or fruits in it to impart flavor. The other way to raise proof is to just run it twice. This is what they are doing, if you gradually increase the heat you dont need to run it twice.

the mash only has so much alcohol in it. Distilling will get that in a pure form but if proof goes up amount goes down. it just means you have a little less water in it. You want better shine? get better mash.

[@standardaussie]

Never over wet the outside of a mud based mortar, especially when its that thick. Wetting your hands to work the outside is a no go, as the layers dry at different rates they will separate into flake layers and fall apart. The moisture is driven to the outside as it is, if these guys dried this from the inside I can assure you that it lasted one week after filming.

[@heywoodyablowme9886]

I used to run a reflux still , it would run like 4 times distilled producing 190 proof alcohol. You could run an engine on that stuff. If you want high proof with no flavors run a reflux still !

[@kcluu9390]

Yeah, 190 proof is about the highest you can go without another process to remove the last water content to make gasahol. I'm a fan if flex fuel vehicles because of their ability to take E85 that can be made in anyone's back yard

yea but it sure isn't double 110 proof which is what the title and the guy in the video claim its supposed to be, 200 proof is the limit and thats pure ethanol, they claim they can double the alcohol percentage and double the price but they are only increasing the alcohol percentage by little more than 50% thats pretty far off double.

Why would anyone pay 5x+ what you pay for top shelf liquor legally? They claim they sell the stuff for $200 a gallon. I just don't think anyone would be that stupid. Moonshine is traditionally cheaper because there is no tax applied. Paying 5x the price of premium legal taxed liquor is ridiculous. Then half the time they loose or spill most of their product from dumb mistakes. Top grade moonshine goes for no more than $15 a quart and thats if they deliver it 200 miles across state lines. This show is about selling dreams. They pump the stuff through rotten garden hoses from plastic barrels and pvc pipe... YUK! That must taste good.

Both are wrong did y'all not pay attention the alcohol proof anywhere from 100 to 150 160 the more you run it more the alcohol content and that top shelf you speak of is bs only.80 proof at the most that whitelighting they speak of will run a vehicle and not to mention the mob made more money bootlegging and moonshinning than any other business they were involved in including vegas watch the documentaries
