My father passed away in 1988 and he and the sheriff of Sugar Island in the UP of Michigan use to set up a still and made great shine....no law enforcement to interfere. You got to the island by ferry and the sheriff would chase you off...LOL. Using lead pipe instead of copper (as far as I understand) was one of the problems with shine. Going blind was common during Prohibition as I understand...I don't know if that's why joints that sold liquor got the name of being a Blind Pig or not...

The lead didn't make you blind it made you stupid. The methanol made you blind.
