TIGHT, TIGHT TIGHT, YEEEAH!

You all left out the best part! For those that didn't watch the full episode, Beez was playing a prank on them. He added blue food coloring to the liquor during the first run. The reveal of the joke was the best part of the episode. The color is stripped out in the second distillation run.
How the hell do they leave that out? 😂 fail
which episode was this?
This comment needs to be pinned
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍

0.9% foot fungus
0.9% methamphetamine
I get the reference..
I've watched Moonshiners since its early runs and have enjoyed the colorful characters that have come and gone. Throughout most of the run, Tickle seemed to be most people's favorite. I liked Tim, mainly because he was making the illegal moonshine while holding the prestigious position of Assistant Volunteer Fire Chief for the Village of Climax.
But when Mark and Digger came along, they became my favorites hands down. They're funny, sincere, and abide by a strict code of honesty. And they prove that two heads are better than one.
Tickle is one of a kind, he lives down the street.
Mark and (n)Digger
If you haven't you should check out "THIS IS THE LAST DAM RUN OF LIKKER I'LL EVER MAKE" it's a documentary on Popcron from the early 2000's that inspired the show on Discovery.
@@leroiken9856 digger is a cool dude he deserve more respect then that. The show brings community’s together not against
@@leroiken9856really?....
I used to make homemade cider with my dad every autumn and we used a sterilized and thouraghly cleaned chipper shredder for making the apple mash there too. It works fantastically well for big batches like this.
Good idea on paper but uh apple seeds have cyanide in them
How did you clean/disinfect?
@@ernestbissell you'd need to eat about 10,000 apples with the seeds in them for ANY affect from the cyanide...
@@elcapitan9141 actually it would take about 18.75 apples considering 150 seeds is a lethal amount and each apple has around 8 seeds in them I would like to know where you got 10k apples from though
@@ernestbissell that is not a lethal amount. IT varies wildly. however, that is around the amount for someone to get cyanide poisoning. However cyanide poisoning is rarely fatal unless you are really stupid. Usually you just get a stomachache or vomit or something.
My grandaddy made his own wine and liquor in the sticks of Georgia for decades. Mad at myself that I didn’t learn from him when I had the chance. If you ever see a man selling liquor with Liberty overalls on, know it’s legit.
❤️🔥👍
should figure it out and continue the tradition. some things are worth going blind for
@@cyrus707 you’re very right. I need to keep it going.
Well, I can teach you to do it, it ain't that hard. It's easy to do it, but hard to master. I can teach you to do it the Serbian way, and surprise everyone with top quality liquor, and with a taste of heaven bottled in :)))
Dude, UA-cam it. Its simple. I learned the principles in school when I was 13. Made my first batch at 14 (it was foul but worked, I fermented sugar, don't do it unless you plan on distilling it), a freinds mum taught me better and now at 28, while not to everyone's tastes, my wine (meads and cidres mostly) is finally good. Word for the wise, don't use home kits without prior knowledge, my wife tried to make caberneigh sovignon from a kit and the instructions were wrong, but we saved the batch because I knew what we were doing. Get some books by C J Berry, best books you will ever get on the subject, but John Seymores "self sufficuency" is great too, even if the brew/distill part is only a few pages. I am from Wales BTW, not USA.

Uhuh
That's the old school italian method
@@thomasmorano17 it is but still I was she'll shocked lmao 🤣😭
Yeah and that guy had toenail fungus too! Gross 🤢
That's what turned it blue
these guys don't seem like the type of people to be so incredibly articulate about the different tastes and feels of alcohol, but it makes sense. it shows how much passion they have😊
I’ll clue you in this show is fake if they were really making moonshine they would not be filming their faces
@@paulmiskell3988 there are a few states that allow moonshine to be made for personal consumption, as long as it isn't sold/distributed (Arizona, Alaska, Missouri, Massachusetts) and I'm sure they were granted legal permission on the bases that they are paying the tax for it.

It’s illegal so yeah..

@@patrickglaser1560 I think as long as there not caught in the act by law enforcment there good, at least thats how its explained online.
they cut it off before it was revealed that it was only some blue food coloring that Killer Beaz had put in the distillate to get Mark back for his prank. The distillate was good after all.
Thanks

A couple years ago a friend of mine invited me to his sushi restaurant to celebrate his father's 80th birthday. I'm not into drinking to get drunk, but when the old man waved me over to the kitchen I found myself sharing a $3300 bottle of cognac with him. It was very good tasting, sweet and warm, yet still quite smooth as I'm sure it was supposed to be at that price.
For more than three grand it was a pretty small bottle, but I wouldn't know for certain what good, great or terrible cognac would be like.
A lot of times the price of liquor is based on rarity not necessarily quality
Lol cool story

It's nice.
This was a month old comment but today.
I sit here wondering all the things I don't know about this man or u but don't worry kinda meta but enjoy your days dx
We all know what show comes to mind. Every bit as pure.
I have never heard them called that my entire life. I grew up eating muscadines off the vine. Always they were "muscadines" Turns out, scuppernong is the oldest muscadine cultivar and it was selected from the wilds of the North Carolina's Scuppernong River. Fascinating to me.
I was wondering what they were saying. I tried to look up the word but didn't know how to spell it, therefore I couldn't figure out what that fruit was. Just plain ole muscadines, huh!
@@nichmon3221 where i grew up it was always the purple color ones growing wild, but ive seen plenty of these used for wine & it makes me wonder are all the light color ones scuppernong variety? 🤔 Maybe muscadines are kind of like grapes, like there are many diff variety of grapes but overall still called "grapes" ya know what i mean?
I grew up in south Alabama. We have scuppernongs. Muscadines are a different thing. People make wine and jelly from them, mostly. That is, with whatever the kids and birds don't eat out of their yard first. We always found our growing wild, like blackberries
@@mommy2libras so then what about the champagne colored muscadine or "white" muscadine? I have experience knowing ppl who make wine from both, (I've never tried) and the white was extremely tasty.. whoever had made it was damn good bc it was a gift to my cousin & then i drank half the bottle 🤣
Thank you I thought they were muscadines. Did they say scupnong?
They got pranked back for those wondering, they didn't actually mess up.
it takes a real man to admit his mistakes. Thank you for showing the real newbies what a botch job looks like
Edit; We’ve been tricked, We’ve been backstabbed and We’ve quite possibly bamboozled
Honestly what the hell happened here?
@@gregmcb5305 it was a prank
@@gregmcb5305 they explained that its because they didnt clean the copper enough. when you use a clear solution in copper to clean it it also turns blue like their cognac did
@@angrybritishman9461 good ol killer beez 😂😂
@@zcl444 in the episode that ole boy pulls out a bottle of blue dye he pranked back mark and digger for pranking him
A man walks into a bar and orders 3 shots of moonshine then looks into his pocket. He does this over and over again. Finally, the bartender asks why he orders 3 hots of moonshine and afterwards look into his pocket. The man responded, "I have a picture of my wife in there and when she starts to look good then it's time to go home."
“Lol I hate my wife”- 👴🏻
😂
@@bman45cal lol 🤣
cognac is fantastic for cooking too. I use it in a variety of ways; for example, it's extremely good with beef and potato stew. Also for any roast as a way to complement the sauce instead of using white or red wine. Too strong for desserts though, I use Licor 43, a spanish liquor that's perfect to that end.
Why not use grape juice instead since the alcohol evaporates?
@@waltershumer4211 the flavours are very different. Sometimes I use white wine, red wine, a borgonya wine, cognac, rancid wine, sweet liquors on desserts; but a juice is a juice, full of sugar and very distinctive flavour. It will overpower the flavours of the rest of the ingredients and sweeten the dish a lot. Not a problem if that's what you are looking for, but in my case sweetness must be faint, unless it's chicken with prunes.
Mark, making moonshine is serious business 🤣not a prank
Those 2 always crack me up
Love these little shows on here. I'll watch em all

1: they can see its obviously blue food dye
2: it would come out if you ran it back through still
It was a great prank and episode love watching Moonshiners
Sup family 😂
So relaxing just watching these guys making some liquor.
I was wondering why it was so hard to find the grapes in the panhandle
Holler
those arent grapes, theyre muscadines
Wahahahaha!!!! They pranked him and he pranked them back!! At least they all had a good laugh at each other's expense, as it should be amongst friends!!!!

Them are swamp grapes.
"Floral flavours of fruit to the front" What a lovely alliteration!
But to the people who watched the rest of the episode, put yourself in B/beaz/bee's shoes, you're basically an apprentice moonshiner overlooking what is supposed to be their magnum opus of alcohols. Are you going to pour blue food colouring into the still? No, not a chance in hell. I'm scared of the gullibility down below so I'm replying to my own comment. But if you think all these pranks are organic, you also probably believe CNN/FOX/SKY is the TRUTH.... Critical thinking people pleaseeeee, they don't call it critical for no reason!

Amen! haha
Yes sir smoking some tangie x cherry pie from last harvest 😋
I'm poor, so a good portion of my life has been spent collecting bottles and cans for money. I can't stand the smell of most alcohols, but whenever I come across an old empty bottle of Hennessy, I can't help but uncork that thing and take a whiff. Smells so good. I'll never touch alcohol, but damn it if that Cognac doesn't tempt me to start lol.
I bet ya look them stills and think to yourself; God damn that's a nice amount of copper, even scrap values the copper would probably yield over $1,000 - $1,500 easily!

Why didn't they show that it was a joke? The old man slipped some blue food coloring in it as a joke since they made him get in and stomp the grapes as a joke! It was hilarious!
I love this accent. Make everything sounds so fancy and rustic.
Sounds like Dutch from red dead redemption
i live in a place where nearly everyone has this exact accent, idk how other people can like it lol, i absolutely hate it
You think the Alabama accent is "Fancy"? I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that in the US the stereotype is "uneducated hillbilly".

Why you here watching then 🤔🤡
@@dentyph5169 you 🤡.

Stay with online porn then.
Lmao, noticed they were wearing exactly the same clothes despite it supposedly being "Whew" alcoholic after fermenting. And Blue? maybe after the dye they put in it was.
I am addicted to this show and I have no idea why I am hooked.
Tu wey
Mystery around moonshining.
We did this to my friends brother in law cutting the grass with an electric mower. It was plugged in inside so we'd take it out... Watch him kick it a few times then plug it back in.. He got so mad lol it was great.
Electric mower that has to be plugged in? That sound like a total nightmare
@@james9592 haha yea that's how we justified doing it. If he wasn't a pussy using an electric mower... Wouldn't have this problem would you?? Lolol 😂 God that was so funny watching him cuss out the mower. We did it probably 5 times lol
You can buy a remote control outlet that plugs like a power strip, for outdoor Christmas lights or whatever. I brought one to work and plugged in a coworker buddy's stuff to it when he wasn't looking. Then, I'd randomly hit the remote in my pocket and turn all his gear off. When he'd start to investigate, I'd turn it back on again. It was hours of fun for those who knew what was going on. This is a good prank, but make sure there are no safety hazards involved like spinning blades.
It actually looks cool and I haven't watch this show in a long time
So, you enjoy heavily scripted nonsense? I guess, everyone can not have a brain.

"Oh em gee if anyone catches us we'll be going to jail for sure!"
*doesn't see the cameraman 5ft away*
PoPo needs actually to catch you on the act. But indeed, they're legal distillers and those still most likely are registered.
I don’t think a little cleaning solution has stopped a moonshiner before 😂
Maybe not. But copper sulfate, in large enough quantities, will stop you dead.
Weird thing is the cleaning solution is not particularly toxic - it's just dilute acid they use to wash the oxide and sulfate buildup off the inside of the copper piping. Copper can be very nasty if you don't clean it regular.
My uncles up in the mountains of southeast KY, made, shine, homebrew and home made wine. They were the last ones. Sure miss them
"looks like its workin"
"thats what she never said"
Dude almost made Blue Sky accidentally, lol.

Every time i watch a episode Yall make me open a beer😂😂
Aww come on ya cut out the funniest part 🤣 beaz got the last laugh in on them 😂
It's because of the fungus on his feet 😂
I knew these guys were from Tennessee! They got the same accent as all my relatives from there.
My family used to make Aguardente in the Azores, Pico. In the town Santo Amaro. Neves family :)
Some people wouldn't let another person drink out of their bottle, yet are happy to drink FOOT infused alcohol
part of the process but done proper, the grapes are supposed to be trodden on by a fair maiden🤣
To be fair, the distillation process does sterilize the drink.
@@outlaweduk Idk if that adds worth or takes it away. Probably would sell well somewhere though…
IF he even had some feet fungus (not likely, it's obviously visible). Those few cells would die, or be killed off by overpowering yeast. If somehow not, heat and distilling would do so certainly.
That "feet fungi" disgust is infantile ridiculous and most likely sign of lack in (basic) education.
There's something incredibly wholesome that the go-to for something that's gorgeous is a new-born baby
0:34 looking at him like "you don't know this...?" 😄
I know you mentioned the cleaning solution but can your mash itself be so acidic that it tarnishes the copper to a turquoise blue?
Naw it's not the acid that makes copper tarnish. It's the chemical reaction with oxygen that causes it. Fresh copper reacts with oxygen molecules and a layer of oxidation forms on the surface. When you use stuff to clean the copper, it's that oxidation layer that is washed off that is green/blue in the water. But in this specific situation in this video that blue coming out of the still was actually a payback prank from Beez. He put blue food coloring in the still so the first distillation would come out blue and scare the old timers as a payback for the prank they pulled on him with the chipper. He knew the color would clean out in the second distillation and it wouldn't cause any problems other than scaring the crap outta Mark.
That's exactly what I thought because the copper is not polished on the inside, and acidity will turn the copper.
It was a prank.one of them added blue food coloring
Lol it was a prank. You're over thinking it
Not tarnish but it can leech copper out.
I remember an episode where Josh and his friend accidentally made blue liquor and they tossed it
*chuckles!* Love these guys.
Y’all need to be keeping an eye on ol glasses there. Might have him a little badge in his pocket

There was a time when discovery Chanel was educational.
Same with the history channel and the learning channel. Seems like someone out there wants us all dumber than a box o rocks and easy to control.
@@joeshmoe6930 its the corporate parent of both channels: making this kind of nonsense drivel is significantly cheaper than actual substantive programming.
Hence the name. You can still find educational shows, but this is not entirely entertainment. If you know how to perform the whole process (fermenting & distilling), this show is a wink and a huge recipes inspiration for me personally ☺️.
Seems like you really needed it given your grammar. It's channel, not Chanel. Chanel is a fashion house from France. 🙄

Man every time I hear about moonshine all I think about is “Lawless” one of my favorite movies.
Some guy asked me if I wanted to check out the moonshine he had mixed up in his bathtub in his barracks and I declined while being fully grossed out.
This made me giggle
Alrighty sire!
LOVE THESE GUYS💯♥️♥️
Blue yellow pink just bring me more of that!!!!

Killer Cognac. With a fresh taste of Toe Blue Fungal. The taste you can taste. 🍻
I thought we were hitting Walter White levels of expertness, but alas. How do you prevent this anyways? Having done this brew, would it then be clean? Couldn't they just toss more off the head of the drip?
It was food dye
This was just a prank with food dye.
But if you end up with blue shine it is because of copper sulphate build up (either from the still or from the packing in the collum).
You can clean it by running a cycle of vinegar through your still once or twice (just like you clean a coffee maker) then running a cycle of plain water (to ensure the vinegar has been completely flushed) and then re destill whatever ended up blue.
I gotta start using this : “I’m surprised y’all weren’t on top of that.”
That is going to be a regular part of my vocabulary anytime I screw up.
Cognac by far my favorite liquor
Sometimes, blue booze from the still isn't a prank!
We tried a new mash recipe years ago...the ferment took much longer than expected and smelled a little 'off'.
We didn't think much of it at the time; the hydrometer said all the sugar was consumed, time to cook!
During the distillation, the product began to turn bright blue and we detected a faint ammonia smell.
We thought it was a weird 'heads' thing, but the color kept getting deeper so we stopped about 1/2 way through the run.
We tested the mash with pH strips...it was around pH 12-13 and reeked of ammonia.
Extremely basic...you want slightly acidic!
The product wasn't as basic, around pH 8-10.
On cleaning the still, we found tiny blue/green crystals on every copper surface, lots of deep pitting.
The crystals dissolved in warm water; my best guess was copper acetate.
Ammonia dissolves copper, making the product a bright blue.
We never used that mash recipe again!
Always check the pH of your mash.
If it isn't distinctly acidic, it might be going bad.
I have a better solution. Why don't you just give up alcohol altogether, and find something that won't take your health, ruin lives, and destroy families?

Copper poisoning. But it wasnt copper, it was just food coloring that one of the guy added as a prank
Lol this line of logic is why people still die making moonshine 🤣
it indicates that something toxic leeched into the batch. corroded copper pipes can lead to copper sulfate getting into your liquor and makes it poisonous. However in this case it was food coloring that stripped out on the second distillation.
These are some real craftsmen.
Those guys with a clean and decent place and an hygiene training would be able to make some good liquor I'm sure.
It's liquor, fuck it cleans whatever it touches anyways

@@berserkirclaws107 LOL someone doesn't know what a fun joke is jesus
@@berserkirclaws107 more people have probably gotten sick from any restaurant you've worked in than have drank any moonshine made in the woods. I'd be willing to bet more people have gotten sick from a restaurant you've worked in than from a back alley street food vendor in Vietnam.
@@beauregardrippey5508 I never say that I worked in a restaurant but I had many jods in the food industry over a little more than 20 years.
You are right to say that more people get sick in restaurant than drink moonshine which is true but in proportion more people go to the restaurant than drink moonshine from unsafe sources.
this is why i prefer using glass instead of anything else for distilling anything.
Also, the copper contamination dose not sound like much of a problem when you are intending to redistill it anyway.
It would be really really hard for them to find and transport a heat resistant glass vessel that far sadly and the copper actually has some benefits when it's cleaned well.
@@dudetapedtoafridge3073 for simple ethanol distillation you don't even need fancy glassware. Also, the part that would be most important to be made of glass, is the condenser column. Which can be surprisingly small. Heck you can buy them on amazon.
@@lbochtler i definitely agree on the condenser column especially since theres so many different types and sizes. you also dont have to balance the waterflow as you do with a barrel you can just pump it straight through makeing it even efficient and compact
@@lbochtler as with the barrel condenser thing they normally use
@@dudetapedtoafridge3073 just wait until they discover fractional distillation. Basically performing several distillation steps simultaneously. At least with ethanol, a vigreux column of 30cm length you can get on amazon is capable of performing 1.6 theoretical distillations, at least that's what i measured last time i purified ethanol to absolute anhydrous (200 proof). The highest theoretical distillations per heating run that i can currently perform at my lab, is 6 in one go. But this is using a piece of very expensive and complex glassware. Though it can be built of metal as used in the oil industry.
I also suspect that the moonshiners in this show are not doing it illegally, but instead have the permits and just act as if they where moonshiners.
Seeing the actual people who stomp on berries / grapes with their bare feet, makes me not wanna drink liquor anymore-
LOL i also love how instead of making Moonshine they just made windex.

Thought we were getting some REALLY REALLY High Quality Alcohol... instead we got alcohol with copper in it.
The copper could be removed through electrolysis I wonder connect a battery and diode in there will draw it out? What were they supposed to do, flush the big koolaid copper container the mash went in first?
@@StevenHanover if you don't do a good enough job that will be toxic as fuck and at least damage the kidneys or liver when drunk. Never bet with mysterious salts dissolved in your drink especially if there is a visible amount. Hell, in a lab engineers could make that batch 100% anhydrous ethanol but would label it "not for drinking" because otherwise is a liability once it's contaminated. (People say it was another food coloring prank anyway)
Antiseptic cognac.
It's food coloring
Luckily it was just food coloring haha
Omg he really got him unplugging that cord 😂
Never heard of conjac before but now I will try it
I think I recall an episode where Josh's liquor came out blue as well.
Is it just color or is it now unsafe to drink?
It contains copper traces. Not safe
it was blue food coloring if it's actual metal salts you couldn't drink it because that's what made absinthe toxic
Antifreeze🙃
But this is a fake show..so most likely ALL been just food coloring to create a show
Yea if you look it up about 10 seconds after this the new guy admits he put food coloring in
I miss when the discovery channel just documented things. Real things. This is so manufactured and manipulated that it no longer resembles anything real.
This is the same as Street Outlaws. All staged.

@@meegstomtom What distilled water? They don't make moonshine on the show in the woods as that is illegal. If they are in a distillery then yes it is legal. Woods nope.
@@sithyarael6807 sorry. I was referring to discovery channel making fake shit nowadays. Haven't watched much on discovery in years. But they make shows that get the most ratings I guess. I prefer actual documentaries.
Blue liquor? That must be liquid crystal meth. 😂😂😂😂😂
Practical jokes are the BEST!!!
Just in case you're wanting to look these up, they're called SCUPPERNONGS, not "scupnines".
THANK YOU! No CC so I was trying to figure out just what the hell they were calling those damned things. I'm a damn Yankee so I can't speak Hillbilly...that is I can work with Northern Hillbilly, just not that. 😋

It's called a product placement 😆
At first, I was thinking that guy sounds familiar. Then when they called him "Beez", I realized that is Killer Beez, who I used to listen to on the Johnboy and Billy radio show.

common trick with moonshiners, don't know how it started, never asked any shiners I've met, but I know more than a couple that do it lol
@@hippy8255 gotcha, good to know. In my world, I follow plenty of hunters and stuff and know it’s a common doodad to just have for stirring coffee or whatever as gross as some people may think that is lol but didn’t know about it being common with shiners
@@725niko Thats objectively gross bro lol
@@james9592 haha true that. I didn’t word that well lol
My ice maker was making blue ice 🧊 cubes for ever. Finally found out it was the old copper lines in my house
