Is it supposed to smell like rubbing alcohol? Guy at work gave me a little jar.

Usually a cross between lighter fluid & turpentine...

Coincidence but I made a batch of Moonshine Garlic hot sauce yesterday...Used this legal moonshine, Junior Johnsons Midnight Moon, $17.00 for a pint...

Had a guy tell me one time: "If you can't light it on fire, it ain't real."

Bad moonshine made improperly can make you go blind or even kill you.

The guy is originally from Alaska and said they use it to help light firewood...

I took a sip and it had a long smooth burn going down .. I think I am intoxicated now. :)

If you go blind, we'll get you a seeing-eye dog and a cane for Live, from Jaco's - 08/28/14.

If you die, we'll have Rocket carry your ashes to the game in his USC helmet.


Either way. The show must go on...................

Funny growing up hearing stories about my grandfather. Always kept a possom or some other critter in the trunk.....with the shine.....so if he went to jail, he at least got a laugh out of it

If they ran it just 3 times and still only got to 140 then they are serious fricking amateurs and that shite will kill you.

Someone is gonna have to call the cops to check on Topher.


Seriously... Chris... google "first runnings" ...

It's the first part of the shine that comes out, you pour it out because it's full of deadly methanol.

If you ran it 30 times you would have poured all your liquor out.

That means he's either lying to you or he wasn't pouring the first runnings out.

I wouldn't drink.

If he literally meant "filter" then that's even worse.

Even a backwoods rig puts out clear shine if it's put together properly and you pour out the first runnings.

The fact they felt the need to filter it 2x, 3x, much less 30 times, you are drinking poison.

Unless, of course, the guy is a liar and full of shite.

In which case, I still wouldn't drink it.

Tell me Chris... can you see any kind of sheen/film on the top, holding it at various angles, kind of like a pinkish purplish sheen at all?

Chris, if you are getting drunk tonight, I have a project for you.

It involves trolling the SECrant re Georgia Tech being superior to most SEC teams.

I'll dictate the OP for you, then you are on your own.

Are you in or out?

Unless it was a very large run there is usually just enough methanol to give you a really,really,really bad hangover. I have drink enough bad moonshine to know.FYI if taxes were paid on it....it ain't moonshine, it's corn liquor
