Title: Moonshine?
Post by: TheBlackFIsh on March 08, 2012, 05:18 am
I would really love to see some moonshine. It is possible to find it down here in the SEC but only during football season it seems. It would be really great to see some apple pie shine. Have never had any alcoholic drink taste so good, even mixed drinks.

moonshine gets you wasted, and no hangover.

I have never paid more than 20/pint for some rockin lightening. I would do ~10/pint for the apple pie. so that would be like right around 40/liter give or take like 5 bucks. But i would be very interested in a sample pint if you have a vendors account before I start ordering gallons of the devils water.

if you have never tried moonshine, do. simple as that it really is one of the better drinks out there in terms of bang for your buck, mixability, and lets face it drinking moonshine out of a wide mouth 1/2 pint mason jar is badass.

okay.  here's the deal.   i can get some from a buddy who makes it. but he doesnt really want to get involved with my shenanigans here on the road, so he's offering to teach me how to make my own.  I will start making my own if enough people respond to this thread stating that they are in the market for the hooch / moonshine.  there's no use of me going into production if i will only have one buyer. so if you're interested, please let me know.

I'm definitely interested, but there's no promises about me being a repeat buyer. It's moreso a novelty that I want to try at least once.

I am absolutely interested! I'd most likely be a repeat customer.

Man Rise that is pretty ambitious considering how long of a process it is. Can't you just buy 20-30 bottles from him and sell them without his knowledge?

you drink sir.

but in all seriousness a still is fairly easy to get going, its nice to have your shine pass through less than 2 hands before it gets to you for quality and safety sake. I can almost guarantee you could sell 30 pints pretty damn quick, many people have only heard of moonshine as the great redneck drink. I am sure people from the west coast would like to get a sip of southern hospitality. I get it direct but he doesnt shine for a living just a hobby when the weather turns and its football time.

I'd agree, you make a valid point here but I think good shine is one of those things that most people would love to try and would jump at the chance to grab a bottle. Face it, in the states if your not in the midwest or the south it's virtually impossible to get. I had some good banana shine about 2 weeks ago that a friend had and it was damn good.

If it's something that readily available and accessible you could just post up the listing and buy from your partner as needed to minimize the risk. But I agree with Fish, I think that shit would fly off the shelves.

Make it happen! I've had it before but do not have a steady supply... Now this thread has got me thinking about it!
