Home Distiller

i seen there going to have a program on the discovery channal on tue. and wed. nite about american moonshiners. i would guess they do sugar heads and sell there stuff{ not good ] but it mite be worth a look see anyway. maybe pick up a thing or 2 of what to do or not to do.

I figger that show will be riddled with inconsistency.
I'm sure the authority having jurisdiction over such matters don't want folks learning the real ins and outs. Kinda like how all them other TV stills ain't never set up proper. That boardwalk empire show on HBO ne er gets it right either.

Yeap probably be a bunch of BS like all them other shows...............

i seen that advertised also, i was planning on catching the show myself.

I'm waiting for the second and third order effects. TV tells us there is a problem and documents it over a couple of weeks. It sparks interest and the hobby is flooded with new guys. Authorities notice the up tick in traffic and gives us a harder look. Not to mention the "I learned it on tv" crew that could help ruin a good thing with shady practices.

whats the show called ?

Moonshiners

Yup, I am already braced for the flood of worthless n00bs that will be flooding the boards shortly. 95% idiots that I would much rather not have to wade through. Fools thinking they have found the golden key to 'easy money'. We may end up with a few members out of the whole deal, but there will be a LOT more chaff with the wheat, than normal.

Hadn't thought about it but you really do have a different perspective on the shows. Sorry for the additional work this will cause you!

I'm afraid that it will probably bring attention the unwanted kind to our beloved hobby.

Concerning the Discovery Channel program titled ‘Moonshiners’ below is the broadcast schedule ->

Moonshiners - Moonshine Season Starts

As the season approaches, moonshiner Tim and his partner Tickle search Appalachia for the perfect site to set up his operation. Law enforcement agent Jesse Tate is on the hunt for his first big arrest, but runs into a dangerous web of counter-surveillance


Dec 07, 10:00 pm
Moonshiners - Point of No Return

Dec 14, 10:00 pm
Moonshiners - The Law Comes Knockin'

Equipment failure and an intruder threaten Moonshiner Tim and his partner Tickle's first run of moonshine. Law enforcement agent Jesse Tate busts a nip joint. Moonshining legend Popcorn Sutton runs some 'shine the old-fashioned way

Regards,
Coaster

Wonder how much of this is just spliced clips from other shows. Popcorn hasn't been here since 2009.

There was already a thread on it. You can check it out here.

I think we just made a carbon copy after reading through the other thread. Whoopseeeee

Every time they air anything about moonshine or distilleries we get flooded with looky-loo's... Even if they are reruns... And most of what will be aired this time will be culled from previous footage... Heck, old Popcorn Sutton will be in it and he's been gone for a couple years now (three this coming March)... And much of what I've seen in previews is from what I've already seen in other episodes... They sure do get good mileage out of their efforts...

Quick, everybody run for the hills ...

I think it's going to be a great show to watch. All they need now is the kid with the banjo, a couple of toothless crackheads chasing their sister around the trailer park, and the stereotype will be complete.

Didn't the discovery channel do legitimate educational shows at one time?

Where's the drama in that...??? If you can't interject a shitload of drama to keep people mesmerized, or some other form of fascination, they'll turn the channel and watch worthless brain-rot sitcoms that'll program them to laugh with each laugh-track whether there is humor or not...

<<< laugh-track >>>

<<< /laugh-track >>>

I'm just looking forward to finally learning from an expert. I watched a few episodes of American Chopper (or whatever is called now) and I think I can build motorcycles. Next week I am gonna watch Goldrush so I can finally open my gold mine that I've always wanted.

Can't watch that one... I get so pissed off I wanna put on a wife beater T-shirt and play the part... That's just one of several so called "reality shows" that I just can't watch... If I want entertaining brain-drain I'll watch Tosh.O, SouthPark, or Beavis and Butthead... If I was suicidal and needed a nudge I'd watch Toddlers and Tiara's, Bridezilla, or Cake Boss...

Never underestimate the ignorance of the American Public. This Moonshiner show is an insult to artisan distillers.

We've pretty much given up on American TV, and the Discovery Channel used to have some credibility.

A bunch of red neck crackers eating corn pone and swilling beer. Wife beater tee shirts, poor dental hygiene, and lazy dogs. What a testament to our educational system. They will showcase everything that we abhor regarding home distilling.


Bull.

Buh buh but I luv corn pone.....

Hell they can't build bikes. Go look at one up close and personal.

Mr Piss, you don't know piss about motorcycles. If Discovery says they are good, than damn it, that's good enough for me. TV and anything found on The Internet have to be true.....right?

Of course, I jest...

And Bull, you may have insulted my entire family in two sentences. And you even had to kick my dog. Dang.

And if I had the money I have 'invested' in the hobby I could take my beloved on the nice holiday we didn't take this year because the superannuation investments were down....
