I've seen a lot now pictures of moonshine in jars. Thats fine with me and I like how it looks in a jar but doesnt it mess when trying to pour that moonshine out? As jars dont have 'mouths' like other beakers do. And if you want to share with a friend some you wouldnt both drink out of the same jar. Mostly. As I find when pouring liquid out of jars the liquid often goes everywhere in the general direction youre tilting it in.

I use a 2 ounce stainless ladle.

oh ok.

Nothing wrong with a pass-around jar... It's not like you're gonna drink the whole jar yourself... Plus the alcohol will kill any possible germs that might otherwise be passed around... But, no, it's not easy to pour from a jar into a shot glass...

Same here BD, I use a 200ml SS milk ladle...

Gets the job done...

Yeah I guess so. I wouldnt mind passing the jar around.

You pour big drinks, Sam

Better looking at it than for it, come round anytime bro...

Seriously, I also decant with it guys... Only drinkin problem I have, is that I can't get it to my mouth fast enough....

I've always kept mine in mason jars. Lot cheaper than buyin' bottles. Spillin' a little is part of the ritual. I like ta keep the angels happy.

My hands are rock steady, I can line up a row of shot glasses and not lose to much when poring from a jar.

The solution to the problem isn't to put it in a bottle, what you need are bigger shot glasses. Besides how would you get it into the bottle?

Here in the mtns .When we want to get fancy and not pass around the qt jar We use old snuff glasses

I've still got a good supply of the old glass ones man they really do make nice whiskey glasses. Didn't it piss you off when the changed them to plastic.

Us city folk use Riedels for The Moonshine

Jars are for finding the hearts. I prefer 375ml beer bottles as jars. When found, the hearts go into a carboy and I have 2l, 3L and 5L carboys waiting.

Using jars for finding the hearts is a very good idea.

I have a big collection of 1 gallon demijohns, always looking for 1/2 gallon ones too.

That's my philosophy as well rattl-b. I always like to see a little slosh and spill. Seems to give me a bit of a nostalgic feel. I do keep liquor put up in 1 gallon glass. My liquor locker has the bottles in a couple of rows. I like to open to two doors at the same time with a quick swing. The aroma comes out and settles over you. Smells awesome. Taste even awesomerer.
