There is an intersting and entertaining thread going on about moonshine here in The Pub. There is also some interest in what goes into making it.

I, like a few others, have some elderly relatives that were close to the illegal whiskey trade and I have a pretty good knowlege of it. I have two great uncles on my mothers side who spent quite a bit of time making and operating stills up until the 1980's. My paternal grandfather and great grandfather were both moonshiners. If there is interest and with the mods permission (because it IS an illegal activity in most jurisdictions) I can compose and post a description of the methods and materials used, along with giving a sense of how labor intensive it is to make corn whiskey. Honestly, it's cheaper to go buy a bottle!

All of this information is available in one form or another, so nothing is giving away the key to the castle, so to speak.

Mods, if the answer is negative, please just close the thread.

Thanks.
