March 20, 2024 running the first still I ever bought.

So in this video I’ll be setting up and running my first still I bought in 2010 or so. This still started the J Riley Journey, it was fun to get it going again and as we distill in this video we give a brief breakdown on distillation. This is part 2 of making some moonshine. Thanks for watching please subscribe. Whiskey is what we are not just what we do.

All good and yes I totally agree moonshiners are awesome and we are not moonshiners with that said using sugar is a moonshine recipe

Can we add heads and heart from 1st cook to 2nd cook?

[@darksky05]

You can. If you’re doing a stripping run you can keep the whole run for your spirit run and make your cuts there.

[@paulnokio1199]

Very interesting thanks for sharing, so your end product was less than 14 proof??

[@JRileywhiskeysocial]

Be we ended up with a proof of around 150 we collected about a quart

[@jaredschwiner6844]

You started with 3 gallons how much did you collect before you got tails?

[@JRileywhiskeysocial]

We ended up with just about a quart

Not to be a stickler but moonshine is only moonshine if its illegally made. Moonshine is illegal whiskey...
Gave myself a douche chill with that comment
