Our school's intake area included a lot of rural land and every year we had a Federal agent come and talk to us about the dangers of moonshine (once we even received rulers with "Moonshine Kills" on them). I couldn't figure it out until someone enlightened me that a lot of the more rural students still lived in homes where Dad or Grandad was running an illegal still out in the back.Debnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-2588480324284989412010-07-19T12:25:14.946-05:002010-07-19T12:25:14.946-05:00And then there's the expense of all those Maso...And then there's the expense of all those Mason jars.Cap'n Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783977137812876489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-39711915710148191272010-07-19T09:18:16.843-05:002010-07-19T09:18:16.843-05:00I read Moonshine! by Matthew Rowley a few months a...I read <i>Moonshine!</i> by Matthew Rowley a few months ago. Rowley wrote a neat history of shine, it's culture, and it's influence on culture. I had been thinking of trying to distill until I learned that: <br />1. It's illegal.<br />2. It's real expensive to start up.<br />3. It's too time consuming.<br />4. It takes skill and experience to make anything worth sipping.<br />5. It's easier to buy bottled scotch.Gerard Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00289822422163685990noreply@blogger.com
