In the most recent years, only one person has been arrested for moonshine production if they weren’t running/selling it. Basically make it for yourself and STFU

Have you seen the shitty conditions that they distill alcohol in (which is basically a solvent) and then sell to other people for consumption. Saw one episode of dudes using garden hoses and shit. Or putting hi-proof liquor in fucking milk jugs. It’s gross. Half of them deserve to be locked up for stupidity.
Then there’s that hick dude that wears overalls with one button undone and no shirt underneath... I tried his liquor at the store ... it’s garbage. I’ve literally seen people make better shit their very first time. And newsflash: if ya sold in a liquor store and taxed, it ain’t “moonshine”. |

When I worked in LE in Virginia, little money, and not much time, was spent looking for moonshiners. In my experience, the moonshiners were no different from drug dealers. In fact, in the off season they sold various drugs, in addition to dealing with stolen property.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Victimless...until someone goes blind or dies. You would literally have to distill a 100gal batch and drink all of the heads to go blind or die. If you're making small batches, for personal consumption, there if virtually zero chance of you going blind of dying... Less than zero if you use an electric heating element rather than fire. I have a PhD/MS in chemical engineering and a BS degree in chemistry. I spent a decade in research and half a decade doing quality assurance in a chemistry lab. It makes zero fucking sense that I can't make liquor in my garage. |

I have not run across a moonshiner in my 63 years on this planet. Much less investigated one. I also don't know anyone that has, even the TABC guys.
Is OP confusing TV and real life again? |

I wonder if the OP is aware of the Federal excise tax on exclamation points. 'Cause I suspect that he's got an unpaid tax liability and the Treasury Service ! Task Force might gunning for him

He is referring to these giant fucking contraptions made of metals of indiscriminate origin, with no process controls, feedstock integrity, and processed and bottled using incompatible materials. Some of the setups I've seen in old evidence photos I have no doubt that whatever came out of those things had to have had a lot of contamination with them as well. Thread legal - I don't know of many places that dedicate resources solely to untaxed alcohol eradication, but I know of multiple instances where following a drug, gambling or theft ring has also uncovered a shine operation. Having said that, if I could get on a billion-dollar task force that did nothing but tromp through the woods looking for pot stills all day... I'd be down for that. It would definitely beat working |

How is it victimless??
Whether you like if something is legal, or illegal, doesn't matter. Any other life decisions you base off of stuff you have seen on a "reality' show?? |

I wouldn't want to break the law, but I have heard that home made 100 proof peach brandy that is aged in charred French oak is really, REALLY good.
