    Spinaker Same here in the northern reaches of NY State. Finally some warm weather on the way, as soon as the streams go down after the snow melt and rain I'll be making time for mushroom hunting and native trout fishing!

    My father is now retired but was a commercial electricIan and ran a job down in Virginia for awhile (I'm in upstate NY). He brought home a jar of shine that a guy he worked with had made. I love whiskey of many varieties, but that stuff was some of the most vile tasting liquid I ever had the misfortune of drinking. I most certainly could have ran my truck on it and it burned your eyes when you held the jar to your face to smell it. It most definitely isn't something you'd sip for enjoyment, but might drink if on an extreme budget...but in that case you probably wouldn't be in the pit as we all have a pricey hobby here. Hopefully your experience is better, it's cool to have a jar of moonshine for the novelty and maybe for lighting charcoal, but that's about the only use I have for it.

    I love my homebrew. Never had the urge to distill anything. Can get enough good stuff legally for my needs. Not to say the apple pie wasn't delicious!

    I know a guy too! And it's a story I can never tell I am afraid. I have the "original" Brutus Ten brewery sitting in my garage, and have thought how easy it would be to do a bit of plumbing...

    I prefer 90 proof to the high octane stuff. And I want it aged on wood. Either in a barrel or chipped. I know a guy that knows a guy that makes a spirit that tastes like good Kentucky Bourbon. It's all about the craft....

    Yep! I am kinda an "avid" home brewer myself you might say. I just ain't taking the chance though. Have some legal distiller friends very close by. Man they make some dang good stuff.

    I'm an avid Homebrewer. I also make Wine and Mead....Anyway, I have tried a number of Spirits that may not have been taxed properly. (My speculation) And some were GREAT and some were crap! It's all about the skill of the Distiller. It is absolutely possible to make world class Spirits at home. It just ain't legal...

    Have had some. I was a HUGE Popcorn fan. I know most here have heard or watched his old stuff, but if not, and new to the world of shine. He was the greatest.
