How To Make Moonshine

My grandfather spent a year in prison during the Depression for making moonshine.

I may try doing this.

If you can find a copy of The Foxfire Books they’ve got instructions in there for making a small home pot still. And if you take the time to get to know your local brew shop owner you may find someone willing to make one for you.

At least that’s what I’ve heard anyway.

Wow, My mothers family did this and it was a way of life...I became a hater of alchohol because when I was a kid I tried moonshine...They lived in a dry state and it was the only way to actually make a way to put food on the table.

The principles are similar to wineamaking or brewing except its taken to a further extreme. It's easy to experiment. If you are handy with soldering and tools its not that hard. Just saying or so I have been told. I am only stating this for informational purposes as it's highly illegal to to manufacture high potency alcohol for home consumption for :~)
