Tonights Moonshiners Episode

[Plaincrazy]

I wonder who the double agent is?

Discovery channel ....The copper 60gal commercial grade still with the top mounted turnip shaped thumper and long Gatling condenser IS the real deal ...Very SWEEEEET.
Chico probably be firing it up this week.

I think it's MoonBreath, he seems to know more than he should...

[HDNB]

i'm guessing there was a new show that just ended?

23 registered, 100 guests...usually the proportion is opposite. lots of new welcomes in the next days!

[ranger_ric]

Awesome vid rB2
Got a bunch of dust in my eyes...

Carry On
RR

[MoonBreath]

Pretty good rite there ...Got abunch of dust on my white dog.
The show needs some freshening up ...Them guys just can't seem to make a drop ...
Chico got the nicest rig on the show, and the only one with tri-clamps instead of paste..Finally!
Sad tho, I don't think he's smart enough to use it ...We'll see ..Or will we?

[Plaincrazy]

When you said he would fire that thing up this week, I didn't realize you meant stuffing it the trunk of his less noticeable car
MoonBreath are you sure you know this guy

[MoonBreath]

No I don't know any of em ...Ifn I knew em, I'd have em runnin likker 24/7 already ...
Heck, at the speed they're moving, they all gonna be lucky to get a couple gallons run ..
I'll admit, I've been catchn 2-week previews, shows ya how much I like the show ...
Ya want to believe its on the up and up, but it it can't be ...Ain't nobody gonna drag and tote large stills all over God's creation, when all ya need is a barn or garage.
Just when ya think you're done with em, they suck ya rite back in.

[flyweed]

and why the HELL do they are carry their finished likker in plastic milk jugs and plastic buckets?? That's just plain ole dumb!

[Appalachia-Shiner]

It might surprise some of you, but I have seen Commercial Distillers do the same thing. Not jugs, but the big plastic shipping containers with a wire cage around them. I kid you not.

GNS is typically shipped in FDA approved HDPE IBC totes (the 'wire cage containers' you mentioned).

[goose eye]

Why they use plastic jugs?
Do the math.
How much a gallon jug / quarts cost?
How much you reckon a 50 pack of gal jugs cost.

You go an buy 9 cases of glass folks gonna look.
cases shout likker.

That ain't even talkin bout clinkin them together

You gettin 20 a gal

So I'm tole

[MoonBreath]

Plus if they temper down to 40% or so you probably don't have to worry much about your plastic jug breaking down and deteriorating ...Not hangn on to em very long so it don't matter ...Think about doin everything the cheapest way is the only way it Could be done ..Folks probably know to get it outa them jugs asap, ifn your likker to high proof, you be drinkn that jug ..Line me out goose ifn I'm wrong with my 2¢.

[MoonBreath]

HEAR YEE, HEAR YEE, HEAR YEE ...!
The new season starts in 2 WEEKS on Tuesday night November 15th.
Finally ....

[goinbroke2]

Crap, that's too bad...now the rush of people asking stupid questions and spreading misinformation begins again...can you tell I'm not a fan?

[Kareltje]

You can watch an entire episode of that show and usually see about 15 seconds of something interesting or actually useful. Just don't nod off or you will miss it. Mostly BS for sure.
I will try to catch this one with the Silver Trails reference for sure.

I watch it for the commercials

I read Playboy for the interviews.

Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock...

[Pesty]

Time to get all my Ebay auctions started again.. thanks for the reminder.

[Truckinbutch]

Suppose I ought to back off on my intake to slow down those drunk posts that get my legs strapped when we get overwhelmed with the wannabes ? HMMMMMM ............. Prolly not . I just need to be more moderate . No pun intended ...

[MoonBreath]

Ole boys soldered a hook inside cap to hang a steeping bag in boiler charge for flavor infusion ...Looked workable, eliminates any scorched solids.
Put anything you want in it I rectum ..Would be a neat boiler or stillhead option.

Other guy has two boilers runnin simultaneous as one with lyne arm connected to cape of second boiler, then from second boiler to thumper.

[The Baker]

moonbreath said, "Other guy has two boilers runnin simultaneous as one with lyne arm connected to cape of second boiler, then from second boiler to thumper.".

Thanks for that, moon.
I have two stills, less than 20 litres and less than 16 litres, say. Pretty small, so I was thinking of somehow running both into a thumper at the same time...
Geoff
P.S. With a pre-heater like in the old alembics, one day. Simple enough and greatly increased efficiency and throughput (which I need, with the little stills) and savings in fuel. G.

[Shine0n]

I don't know if it's a rerun but ole JB was in the woods doing a run tonight. He looks like hell since I seen him last on popcorns doc.
I'm working in Lynchburg Va. and ran into some youngins
who claim to have some of tickles peach brandy. I'm not sure ifn it was his but damn that was some fine sippin!
I love the hell out of people who make great likker

[aircarbonarc]

I leaned up on one of the Jamie Davis trucks from that Highway Thru Hell show so I am sure someone has rubbed elbows with one of those guys.... By the way the truck really is red and chromed

I love that show. Riding the Coq on my harley is a bucket list item. In the summer of course.

#5 is like any interstate. if you want some motorcycling heaven take #3 from pincher creek alberta to hope BC. Then head north up #1 and west on 99. take a couple of days...too much to see and it's a workout. the yellow and black shatter signs that say "25kph" mean 25kph, the rest at your own risk but BC RCMP have vehicle siezing laws for "excessive" speed at their leisure, 40kph over will lose your ride.

I've driven that route a few times, love the Hope Princeton part! Silikamem valley is amazing. I try not to drive too fast..

[MoonBreath]

Ohhh shite...

Yes it's that time of the year.
Moonshiners new season starts Tuesday November 14th.

Start countn the days.

[TDick]

Got to admit SOME of it is entertaining.
Like most programs I have to record it so I can fast forward through the commercials and the "slop left in the can" shall we say?

[FullySilenced]

Always a rash of newbies showing up with the same old questions.... when it starts...

[HDNB]

Always a rash of newbies showing up with the same old questions.... when it starts...
