I'm thinking about maybe running a still as a hobby and to help bring in some extra income. I've done a little bit of research into it, but I'm gunna need some help making a basic pot still. I've learned about discarding the early and late runs (methanol and fusel alcohols make for some nasty shine). Anyway, I figured this would be the best forum to ask since yall kentuckians have the moonshining heritage. So if anyone has some expertise in the art of shining, I'd appreciate you sharing some wisdom with me.
Coming from Wisconsin, I had to ask. Isn't Moon Shine Illegal?
It's only illegal if the fed revenuers catch ya. That being said, I'm not planning on running a thousand gallon still or anything and I think the revenue men got bigger fish to fry.

Yes, we all have a still out behind the barn and we don't wear shoes either...lol. I think this is not only illegal but very dangerous unless you know what you are doing. You can poison yourself if this is not done correctly. It can also make you go blind or suffer paralysis.

Don't forget we only bathe twice a year and still use our outhouses too!
I'm moving to Lexington from Hawaii this summer. I don't know how I am going to ever fit in with the moonshining, cousin kissing, outhouse crowd. You know cause I live in a grass hut, dance the hula, wear a ti leaf skirt and sit around drinking mai-tai' on the beach all day. You think I can make the switch?
