      @Bozemanjustin 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Yeah 191 everclear
      When distilling liquor you can never distill to 100% as water and alcohol want to stay together to a certain amount.
      So with a fractionating still you can get 191.
      If you want anhydrous alcohol AKA pure alcohol 100% 200 proof.... You have to use a molecular sieve such as zeolite.
      The water is much smaller molecule than alcohol, the water goes into the zeolite. Then once all the water is absorbed by the zealite, you pour the alcohol out of the jar and it is 100% pure

      You cannot distill alcohol to that purity, you have to use a molecular sieve as I described.
      No company is going to go to the extra cost of doing that, for a couple more percent alcohol.
      If you need more pure alcohol than 191 then you can simply buy anhydrous alcohol.. 200 proof meant for the medical industry.
      And to be honest everclear doesn't make a 191 either only a 190.
      I keep using 191 because that's basically the possible limits of distillation.
      And I knew everclear was basically at that threshold.
      But they most assuredly do not make a 195
      You're probably thinking of 95% alcohol by volume which would be 190 AKA everclear

    I see lots of other Americans have commented so I'll just add this observation: I don't drink. Both of my parents were alcoholics and it's just a road I've never traveled. But, I grew up in a hard-drinking family and my dad and my uncles have made a little 'Shine now and again and most people, upon trying it for the first time, would compare it to drinking paint stripper or something equally wicked. No offense to the stuff you purchased, but I am comfortable saying it's not real moonshine. No way would a first time drinker of moonshine talk about it being "Nice", and rapidly go from one to the next, trying 3 versions in 10 minutes.

      @catawbawarrior 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I was in high school in the '80's and I agree with you with an exception. Good shine should be smooth, but finding that was rare even then. Luckily, I was "the guy that knew a guy" and had my share of the good stuff. Watched a 7'4" guy turn up a dixie cup and he just kept going back, like in slow motion. Everybody just watched him hit the floor and before you say why didn't somebody catch him?, it was one of those moments where you had to be there. A bunch of teenagers partying and it just happened. I've drank a fifth of both Jack and Jose all at once (not the same night) and I wouldn't have attempted a half-pint of the stuff we drank. I wasn't an alcoholic, I drank to get drunk quick or chug 3 beers before a softball game to slow down my mind where I could play without thinking about it. I might try 3 different kinds in 10 minutes and I might call them "Nice", but with a different meaning than these guys. I wouldn't have any plans for the rest of the day either.

      Good moonshine does have good flavor profiles once it’s proofed down to about 80 or 90. Straight out of the still it’s like 120-170 proof so of course THAT won’t be pleasant. This stuff is proofed way down for legal purposes, which is why it tastes better. And I agree, real moonshine is made in the woods under the moonlight.

    Coworker makes his own. Traditionally, it's made from corn mash, but corn whiskey isn't as smooth as wheat. This is more like a wheated bourbon that isn't aged in casks. Still good and essentially the same thing, though. The flavored ones are what hillbillies call 'homemade wine'. The clear shine is often called 'Mountain Dew' (which is where the soda got its name), Holler Hooch, or White Lightning. You know you've got the food stuff when you can spit onto a fire and create a fireball. 🤣
    Btw Daz, we don't call it 'Grandpa's Old Cough Medicine' for nothing. 😉

    @christophermckinney3924 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Moonshine is simple unaged corn whisky. It's clear because it isn't put into barrels to age where the caramel color would normally be absorbed from the wood. To make it, you sprad corn in a dark place (like a barn loft) and water it thoroughly so that it starts to germinate. Once it reaches germination, you need to stop that process so you fill the area with smoke. At this point, the maximum amount of sugar is present in the sprouting corn kernels. The corn is then collected and mashed in a large container with water and some yeast. There it ferments for a few days (7-14). The mash looks a lot like sloppy oatmeal at this point. At that point, the "sour mash" is poured into a still. The still consists of a large copper container (or tub), copper coils that act as evaporators and connect to another thump tub (a smaller container) that makes a thumping noise when the temperature reaches the optimum level and the alcohol begins to flow.
    Add a heat source below the first tub (usually fire or propane) to heat the mixture to between 65-70 degrees celsius (below the boiling point of water). It should never be more than 75 cdegree celsisus. The alcohol evaporates at a lower temperature than water so it evaporates first into the coils that cool it and drop it into the thump tub where it cools to room temperature.
    Once the distilled mixture is evaporated and cooled to room temperature, it will have the appearance of water. The unevaoprated portion remains in teh first tub to be discarded or used to as animal feed. At the point you have alcohol flowing into the thump tub, simply open the tap in the bottom of the thump tub to drain the first 5% of the alcohol which is the toxic isopropyl alcohol portion. Once this is allowed to pour off, the rest is drinkable and is bottled for consumption. The taste is strong and the smell is like isopropyl alcohol.
    At actual professional wisky distillers, this is the point at which the whisky would be poured into barrels and aged for between 3 and 21 years to absorbt he color and taste of the wood. But in the case of moonshine the quality of the flavor was never as important as supplying speakeasies and roadhouses with a ready supply of cheap potent clear moonshine that was mixed with other things to make cocktails. It was called moonshine because it was usually made and transported in the middle of the night by the light of the moon during prohibition to avoid law enforcement.

    My roommate was taught how to make moonshine by making some using someone else's equipment. Melted through the container he had it in,and bubbled the polish on the table it was sitting on. Got it in big glass jars and gifted it to family and friends who thought they were tough sh**'s...

    Saw my Uncle drink moonshine about 60 years ago. It was made by some of the locals up in the hills. You had to know somebody who knew somebody. Lol

    When I lived in Tennessee I saw the ultimate stereotypical moonshine drinker. She pulled up in an old junky station wagon beside my car in the parking lot of the Piggly Wiggly and about eight very dirty children in rags and bare feet came piling out and went into the store. Toothless mom sat in the car and while she waited she drank what I'm betting was homemade moonshine out of a mason jar and listened to that real twangy country music on the radio.

    Moonshine is whiskey that’s not aged in oak barrels. It’s whisky fresh off the still.

    I have a copy of my great grandfather's handwritten copy of how to make moonshine. A family story is that during the Civil War one great grandfather made moonshine, sold it to the Union troops and gave it to Confederate troops for free. He was from Alabama.

    A couple of folks I've met made some gross moonshine. 100 proof and tasted and smelled like rubbing alcohol. Then, I met a one armed old Aussie deep in the Sierra mountains of Northern California. One-armed John made the best corn moonshine ever. So darn smooth and as someone that prefers weed over alcohol, I couldn't stop drinking it. Got so slammed and didn't get sick at all. Yup, smooth but burns.

    Been privy to some boys sharing some shine from the Appalachian mountains. I was a young buck beer drinker. Took a huge drink from the Mason jar, went down so smooth, the guys were chuckling, and a couple seconds later it felt like a chimney sweep shoved a metal bristle chimney brush down my throat and began to spin the brush. The pain and inability to breath was a moment I learned I was a boy trying to act like a man.

    My Grandfather was a Kentucky moonshiner back in the 1920s, 30s up until WWII, the 50~100 proof is weak shine. Moonshine by yesterday's standard were between 120~190 proof, some of bulk buyers would use the old British Navy method of (proving) checking the proof with gun powder to make sure it was 100 proof or above, most would just shake the bottles, fancy hydrometers wasn't always available to the back country folks. Me personally never developed a taste for shine, I'm strictly a beer and bourbon guy.

    The last time I had moonshine I'd also started drinking rum again. I had forgotten that rum was basically water, switched to the moonshine, then the next thing I remember I woke up. XD

    My dad new an old hillbilly that had a still and made his own moonshine - no one ever knew where it was - he had it somewhere in the woods. I had a sip of it when I was about 8. Pretty much no taste, and it was just warm going down - then it hit bottom and exploded - thought I was dying. My older bother and the hillbilly's oldest son, about 14 at the time, drank about a juice glass full when the parents had went out for the night and left them to watch us younger kids. Of course, they got sh...faced and shot up the guys back yard, killed one of the chickens, shot a very large hole in his rain barrel, and some other stuff. To say the least, the parents were not happy when they got home. That was some real moonshine. I never got the chance to have anything except Everclear when I got older. It didn't seem the same as what this guy made - for sure.

    I agree with Emma below. Commercial is nothing compared to the stuff made in the backwoods. It’ll eat a hole in your gut quickly. My ex and I grew up in different county’s. I met him through my cousin. Several yrs later we’re married sitting on his grandfathers porch talking. He asked who my grandfather was. That’s when we found out our grandfathers used to run moonshine when they were teenagers. I’ve only drank that stuff once and will never repeat it!

    I live in southeast Alabama. I appreciate the effort y'all put into this. But unless you come to America that stuff will be the closest thing to moonshine you'll get. Down here we call it "shine" "pop skull" and "grandpa's stump juice", and it is gravity in a jar. You will wind up on the floor if you drink it.

That is like the "commercial" version of moonshine and yes that Lemon Drizzle is VERY nice, we use it as a mixer for a ton of cocktails but the most popular around here is probably the Apple Pie Moonshine...god it is good. We still get our 180 to 190 proof 'real' white lightning....but good god you have to be careful with that...it will have you kissing statues...not that I know from personal experience or anything...(0.o)

  • @karenedwards6713
    @karenedwards6713 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Everclear is the closest thing to real shine. Corn, yeast and a little water is shine. You shake the bottle and the smaller the bubble the stronger the shine. My experience is you buy shine from a shady looking charter in backwoods Georgia with a name like Bubba or Slick. We dump rock candy in a half quart and keep adding candy until it syrups and you have the best cough medicine. My son's doctor wanted to put him on a hydrocodine cough syrup and I did'nt want my toddler taking that so I told him of my homemade shine cough syrup and he agreeded it was safer than codine so I just kept giving it to him. Real shine will never be in the store and never from wheat.

    There's a relative of Tequila and Mezcal called Bacanora. To my knowledge, it's specific to the state of Sonora in Mexico. It's like Tequila with a very smokey quality. It definitely tastes stronger than Tequila and I quite like it and sometimes even prefer it to Tequila, but I haven't been able to find it in "the States". Maybe that was the 3rd ingredient your acquaintance was telling you about Daz?
