    I want a 10 gallon copper still. 1400 bucks and you can have a brand new, authentic still with thumper barrel and worm barrel. Then I need to learn how to make it. I would never sell the liquor and I know it's illegal, but I would keep it very low key. Give the shine away to friends and family. Make special runs for holidays. Just seems like a lot of fun and very rewarding.

      Mash made with oranges, grapefruits, drink mix for sugar.
      Make your wine with that, distill it in a trash with a submersion heater (stinger). Use trash bags for your catch, let it run down pen tube into bottles. Get rid of the first quarter bottle and keep running until there isn't alcohol coming out.
      Clear.

  • @geomodelrailroader
    @geomodelrailroader 3 роки тому +5

    Tim, Mark, and Digger have given them a challenge which is what they were working on on the show GW Malted Rye Whiskey. the ingredients are rye, malted barley, and Indian corn and it is allowed to dry age without yeast. Once it is ready the process is still the same except they don't have a thumper they route it directly to the worm tank and sell it. You heard me they sell it GW Malted Rye Whiskey is legal but most of the shine in Virginia is illegal and ABC cops can kill a shiner if he gets caught or they can send them to jail. Mount Vernon sells the stuff to pay their rent and it is legal but if a shiner wants to learn how to distill or if they want a Virginia or Tennessee license they need to make it. each shiner has their own spin but they are all the same respire that GW made in 1776 when he opened Mount Vernon.

    • @richardpeterson3753
      @richardpeterson3753 2 роки тому

      the particular mash our founding father used might have clocked in at around 8 to 11% I'd guess,based on the fact that it was grains only,no added sugars,and probably natural yeasts from those grains.modern mashes,depending on yeast,can be a bit higher as often sugar and grains are used.but any mash that goes into a still will have alcohol in it.kind of the point in fermantation.
