Around here, its the right time of year to get great deals on some pretty decent bootleg..anyone else??
Also I prefer to flavor mine..cranberries and or strawberries and a bit of sugar..let it sit for a few weeks chilled, and consume. Is this just a southern thing? how bout them yanks, any corn liquor up there? |

Cherries are amazing in it..
I have even been known to put some of those cherries in a Sam Adams Cherry Wheat |

COC violation if a mod wanted to press the issue. That being said, if I happened to visit a relative in the East TN mountains and pick up about 6 gallons of shine and it proofed at ~167 I certainly wouldn't broadcast it. Furthermore, if I had said shine I'd try some good ol apple pie. Easy to make and great to give as gifts. If you need a recipe, shoot me an IM. Not that I'd ever do such a thing...since that would be illegal |

I had some good stuff in West Virgina before.
For some reason I can't seem to find any here in Philadelphia. send me some. |

Nanny .GOV says I can't make my own whiskey, for the greater good and what not.

oh my my i remember my dance with the shine it was hypothetically discussed in the TN hometown forum months ago. A member, hypothetically, mentioned the time he became quite innebriated on shine. It was hilarious. |

Peaches, strawberries or apples and a few other goodies make for mighty fine sippin' shine.

There may be a gray area, but I wouldn't risk it. You can make fuel but it must be denatured. Even that requires a license IIRC. A boutique distillery license is possibly available, but it would not be remotely cost effective for personal consumption. The basic underlying issue is revenue- the government taxes hard alcohol. You would have to build a bonded area for storage of alcohol that you wanted to make, and further all employees would have to pass a background check. Site inspections would be the rule not the exception, and your books better be on the up and up. Personally I think the rules are bullshit, but those are the rules. |

I have seen jars with apples and some with pears in them on a tour bus for a big name country act...
That stuff is smooth, I wish it was common around my parts. |

I saw on 60 Minutes that "Apple Brandy" (shine) is pretty popular in the N. GA mountains this time of year (since the apple harvest is coming in). Corn liquor is for rookies

At least it isn't like the "good old days" when large distilleries dominated the game entirely- there were no "boutique" distillery licenses available at all. There were all kinds of bullshit arguments made, but really it was just about shitting on the little guy. "Safety" was a favorite argument. Sure, I would go through the hassle of getting a license and then distill my booze via an old truck radiator. I was born in Tennessee, so maybe I have a genetic interest in making my own booze? Anyway, other countries are much more open about home distillation. Oddly places that seem to tax alcohol much more severely also curiously have more open policies about home distillation. |

I'm curious, is there any legally manufactured product that is made like moonshine? Everclear. The taste isn't even remotely the same. I'm not attributing mythical properties to properly made moonshine, but smoothness with an ever so slight sweet aftertaste is one of them. Everclear lights your ass on fire from the moment it passes your lips. Moonshine warms you from the core out. ETA: And Everclear is made with sugar only. Most mountain shine is corn-based with a bit of sugar. |
