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
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@dylandang6588 This was from S11E11 titled "Hard Seltzer".

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.
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.
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.

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.

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

@@zcl444 in the episode that ole boy pulls out a bottle of blue dye he pranked back mark and digger for pranking him
Mark, making moonshine is serious business 🤣not a prank
Those 2 always crack me up
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?
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.
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
So relaxing just watching these guys making some liquor.
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”- 👴🏻

Mystery around moonshining.
My uncles up in the mountains of southeast KY, made, shine, homebrew and home made wine. They were the last ones. Sure miss them
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!

I could sit on a fallen tree batch just like a child, eating an apple and laughing with these guys forever 😂 just like I did when my grandad and uncles made poitin back in the 70's
That’s an Irish term. The real deal ❤️🇮🇪
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!!!!
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.

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.
Moonshiners be brewing Heisenberg's recipe
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.

Moonshiners is literally the only thing on this channel worth watching. 😂
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.
When they said them feet look like they should be on a mouse!!!!! I lost it.
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.
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?

Man every time I hear about moonshine all I think about is “Lawless” one of my favorite movies.
My family used to make Aguardente in the Azores, Pico. In the town Santo Amaro. Neves family :)
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.

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. 🙄
Beez: “yeah I’m just surprised y’all weren’t on top of that”
Production: "Lets drop some food coloring in the distillate and have you freak out."
Hillbilly: "Hold my liquor."
"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 remember an episode where Josh and his friend accidentally made blue liquor and they tossed it
"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!
Blue liquor? That must be liquid crystal meth. 😂😂😂😂😂

Seeing as this is discovery UK, I feel like this is how Europe sees half of Americans lmao
Once in a blue moon shine.
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.
Takes a drink “ Blue, Yellow, Pink. Whatever, Man. Just Keep Bringing Me That."
my favorite shine was from tennesee and they scorched the beir and i turned out tasting like burnt tequila... wonderful
I miss when the discovery channel just documented things. Real things. This is so manufactured and manipulated that it no longer resembles anything real.

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
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!
Omg he really got him unplugging that cord 😂
Practical jokes are the BEST!!!
Even if it’s blue and it tastes good what’s the problem?
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.
“Moonshiner accidentally making blue liquor” I feel like there’s an amazing Breaking Bad reference that can be made here
I was reading through comments and I'm like "seriously? Not one breaking bad comment?"
Tight! Tight Tight! Blue, yellow, pink, whatever man just keep bringing me that.
I really wonder how they manage to be on TV committing pretty serious crimes. I fully support them and what they do but being on TV distilling I feel like it puts a target on them and law enforcement could easily find where they are use this as evidence. I'm not cop nor am I a moonshiner but I do wonder how being on TV affects their business
Simple, it isn't real. We had less footage on terrorists and found them quickly. This show is the fakest shit ever lmao.
Thats illegal?
@@bigbloo9322 your probably right
