The Strange Story of Moonshine (And Why It's Dangerous)

In this video, we explore the strange and dangerous world of moonshine, a drink that has played a surprisingly important role in American history-from the Whiskey Tax to Prohibition and beyond. We'll dive into the science behind moonshine, breaking down the fermentation and distillation processes that create it, and why it’s so risky to drink. You’ll learn about methanol, the toxic byproduct that can turn homemade moonshine into a deadly concoction, and the sneaky tricks used by bootleggers to cut corners.

Could you please do a video on a organic chemistry subject. Some story about it

[@labimation]

For sure! So far, I’ve tried to include a tiny bit of organic chemistry in my videos, but not too much. So I’m sure I’ll be doing some videos that are heavier on organic chemistry in the future. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thank you so much! I’m glad you are enjoying the vids so far. I’m making these videos because I’m having fun doing it. But comments like this makes the process feel even more rewarding.

Thanks for the kind words and feedback! My next few videos will probably vary in length as I continue to develop my storytelling skills.
