Most moonshine stills have the same basic components, the burner, the pot, the doubler, and the condenser.

The moonshiners don’t want to get caught, but agreed to an interview on how they make it.
*amazing job*

It shouldn't be illegal to make moonshine, only selling it should be illegal. I make what I want for my own use.

[amyjojinkerson]

that still makes it to a very high level

They could face three years in prison, so they posted it on YouTube.

So let me get this straight…
I could build one of these..
And it wouldn’t be illegal..
I could sell one of these…
and it wouldn’t be illegal…
If I were to use one of these…
Then it’s illegal.

[josehofmayr]

The Title of the video confused me for a little, hehe.

They could face 3 years in prison if caught. So they aired the video on Discovery Channel.

So how come the camera crew for the moonshiners doesnt tell their whereabouts to the camera crew of the cops or the cops themselves. Weird to have both cops and criminals on the same location and not meet.

[edwardbibillio]

It isn't illegal unless you're selling it. These are cops. lol

[jalenjose]

Have you ever made moonshine with caggabe

[gnarhound]

I really hope katy Daly is in the background

[tigerraven]

I got a big secret the mash is maid out of corn fermented and ground

[KingKillersKastleKKK]

So how is it illegal to make moonshine when they haven’t even tried to sell it yet

[indigameriseminalindian]

So how are these people not in jail when they've recorded themselves doing the illegal act.🤔

[drivin]
