Best Fall Moonshine Flavors 🍂 Moonshiners
we got a little nutmeg some clove it don’t take that about a tablespoon per barrel and a few cinnamon sticks to throw into our mash and that’s all you need this is how we make the Moonshine as the temperatures drop in the Great Smoky Mountains that’s ready cuz it died down three Tennessee shiners are ready to run a fall favorite hazelnut rum how’s that taste JB it’s a little better nothing really ready the steamer requires a lot of heat it’s colder weather we might not be able to get that extreme heat to go all the way to the
top of the bower in the steam chamber you bring a firing device I did that’s light it up and then we’ll get the water running it builds up too much Steam and it’s not exiting out through the worm then we can create a bomb well do we want to worry about tweaking on that old burner we’ve got out there you want to just sit here and wait on it wait on this and worry about that burner later we’ll tweak if you want to tweak twerk whatever you want to do you get to twerk and I’ll be back and we’ll tweak that’s what them tweaker accounts
is on that interweb thing is oh it’s very hot up yeah boy you hear it we’re getting cooking process started in the first Barrel steam’s coming down and this bubbling indicates that it is escaping you think it’d be hotter there though wouldn’t you I guess it’s the mass keeping that cold I don’t like what I’m hearing in there I believe we’re building up too much pressure I ain’t digging that at all if it stops pumping steam over into the mash barrels then we’re building up pressure to the point that there’s a catastrophic failure in the metal hey
something up open that valve and kill that fire I don’t want to blow up here today J B you might want to step away watch out we’re going to see the steam what do you think JB I don’t know really but unless and molasses come up there and stop the steams the viscosity and cold temperatures of the Molasses hindered the steam’s ability to move efficiently through the mash creating a potentially explosive situation of excess Steam and back pressure in the boiler you know these steamer Steels they’re a different
animal this first season we’ve ever used it been cool weather we’re still learning it I’m going to expedite this process I ain’t got time to wait on this that’s crazy so I think we’re safe we’re going to continue on with this run let’s crank this some gun back up well long as we know we’re safe that’s the bottom line me and JB’s been around some steals just done some funky things and we didn’t run Safety First boys and girls and everybody talks about this as how you make the Moonshine this is really how you make the moon how you
make the Moonshine it’s all nothing but stress and worry most of the time I mean I hear it in our rbl one that one’s scal and hot a hot too yeah damn that’s what we’re after boys we got liquor coming out hey you got liquor oh hell mhm smooth float oh my when you cut charcoal it gets all those fusal oils will trapped right in there boy H Hazel nutty that’s perfect right there oh hell yeah need to check the proof of it I’m going to say that’s right on 100 Proof when shiners shake a jar of moonshine to check the proof they’re
observing the size of the resulting Bubbles and how long they take to dissipate after shaking the jar large bubbles on the surface of the shine that quickly pop indicate high alcohol content are proof when low proof alcohol is put to the shake test the bubbles are small and Linger on the surface for a longer period of time this is due to the fact that water has a higher surface tension than alcohol the amount of surface tension is in direct proportion to the amount of time it takes for a bubble to pop the shake test takes a
practiced eye to master some shiners are so proficient at the technique that they can match the readings of a hydrometer point for Point only way find out take a good drink of it no that’s 105 I was wondering if he was going to pass it over this way yeah he’s going let come in on the front end of it strong then that rum on the back side I tell you it’s liquor though ain’t it you’re know right it’s good liquor too this successful run will yield 20 gallons of premium hazelnut rum worth $3,000 tax-free dollars that’s a Dandy run of liquor
that’ll bring some good money right there yeah we hope is it still running any a to over our JB that’s a like you know when you stop pissing you keep it going the stream every once in a while all right if you say so but we don’t need no visual on that Mike and Jerry are harvesting pecans to flavor her a new amoretto inspired recipe you know there’s not a whole damn lot of pean trees in Tennessee but I do know where there’s a small Grove down by the river I tell you what this is the right time of the year for them so you don’t want to take these
green ones right here that they’re still encased in their hole when they turn brown they’ll open up and actually drop the nut out of the hole like these right here well reason I know a good bit about pecans is I grew up in Mississippi and we spent a lot of our time Gathering up down pecans for pies that was a big staple down there you know yeah well still is to this day nuts have been used to flavor alcohol for centuries medieval monks made the first alcoholic lur secretly blending herbs nuts seeds and even tree
bark to make their potent concoctions Amaretto was born in Italy made from the bitter kernels of almonds apricots and peaches when broken down the bitter component in these kernels produces both toxic cyanide most of which is eliminated during distillation and benzal deide the organic compound that gives amoretto its nutty flavor on Saturday woo that hand up on it before we create an extract out of these pecans we decided we’re going to lay them out on cookie sheets smoke them and try to infuse that type of flavor into our
alcohol well by God we got a smoker full of pecans don’t we people love eating smoke pecans when you pass a little smoke through anything it’s delicious it adds another whole depth of flavor to whatever you’re preparing I’m actually using pecan wood pellets that are made from the limbs of the pecan trees which has that nutty Smoky flavor to them as well that’s already smelling good these damn thing going to be delicious man with that smoke rolling through them you know it damn that smells good don’t like a popcorn it does smell like popcorn want
to tell you what if we could catch that smoking puff in the jar that’d be the damn thing to do with how do we get the smoke into the Damn alcohol just pump it in there or blow it in there you think it’ll really damn work for us or all right get this have you ever Sat by a campfire all the time what does your clothes smell like the next morning fire smoke wood well the smells there I would say it might attract to the jar the glass the the liquor liquor the water that’s in the liquor you know it’s got to collect a little bit of it we can try
it we’ll rig up something pump it over in there while they’re smoking me and Jerry we’ve already got the alcohol run man we got a neutral grain Spirit here so we’d like to experiment to see if we can make a good tasting drink you want the lid yeah hand me the whole tote the whole tote the whole tote we’re going to try to trap this smoke and then induce it into the alcohol itself just cut a hole right here in to damn Jerry you just ain’t another pretty face are you drop that over there snap her in look at
you go boy we got air mattress pump this isign to go on a mattress so you can this will be the intake and just turn it on it blows the air out of it let fire this bad boy up out our hose oh it is coming out there look at that look this just smokeing out of there I God that’s got a real Aroma too Don’t It Bubba it smells even better coming out of the alcohol than it does out of here hell yes you can taste the smoke in it smoke is there it is there for sure I’ll be that g you taste it can’t you that’s got a good subtle just a good
subtle Smoky taste to it it does someone put across across some popcorn and good liquor yeah I’m tell pretty much makes it taste like an aged alcohol that’s not colored it’s like you’ve poured your whiskey over into a a charred B take them nuts and squeeze that all out of them few drops that each jar man I think that’ll be about top shelf we got to start we we got something into alcohol right now you can actually take a shot of that right there and enjoy it I’m going to get drunk on smoke liquor boy yeah luy luy here they’re
nice and caramelized Jerry we’ve got to do something creative here to try to get these oils out of these pecans going are weling together yeah Jerry come up with the idea to say let’s let’s press the oil out of them to extract all that oil and we can get the most amount as we possibly can going to do it I believe so Bubba you know I have a hydraulic press woo just had a homaker pressing gig and if we can just get some Earls out of them pecans we’ll be in high damn cotton W load up bad boy all right here we go come on
baby look at there look at there all right baby we got it’s a tail all won’t it we got it running out the back wo we got o coming out holy damn tasty M damn oh mighty that is fine boy oh oh my god dude that is phenomenal I can about drink it by itself it’s got kind of a a smoky burnt Nutty Nutty flavor to it I don’t feel like that we’re going to have to add a whole lot per jar of alcohol to get this flavor because this oil is I mean super concentrated damn that is a is a pecan pancake right there it’s almost dry feel
of it it will here we go tails off I say that’s about enough for our test ain’t it for him to shake ain’t no needing wasting something if it ain’t going to turn out pour a few drops in we got to be careful with this oil because we don’t want to mix too much and just overpower it it’s just it’s got to be there but yet it’s got to be a drink of liquor you want to take a good shot of and have that flavor on the back note it taste like pecan it’s got the smoke flavor in it really damn good I like try it’s crazy ain’t it it’s in there
ain’t it what here in there like a hair and a biscuit I love it I think it’s great it’s even got that little bit of a charry taste to it as well I never thought we’d ever accomplish it right there it is but I’m I’m tickled to death with it I mean I like it I’m satisfied with it man you know what the dam main goal is here today me and Jerry’s pull this off we figured out how to put pecan flavor into alcohol and we nailed it down make sure we get all that oil off off the bottom there damn Dam you spilling our damn oil
Jerry damn draw Slicker son oh I say it is it’s got oil on it it’s costly huh yeah D you clumsy today ain’t you there you are well well that’s pretty ain’t it and we got to get this stuff worked off we need to get some money in our pocket yes we got to get this stuff mashed in but we don’t have a damn place to run it off we’re mashing in this apple Palomas inside Jerry shop simply because we don’t have a place to set our steel yet so if we Mash this in right now we got a week yeah but if we can Mash in here
today and find a place within the week we’re good to go I’m thinking we just use this trailer we’ll put the barrels on the trailer and just Mash in that way we get a place we just take off you know but we just can’t let it be damn obvious hey we got a bunch of mash BRS on the trailer y’all come see us we don’t want to give nobody no reason to pull us over we’ve got to build something to disguise this not only from just regular old nosy people in this world but from the law you can’t never be to down either yeah that’s right that’s why I’m
still standing here today and not having to pay off no damn debts because I learned a long damn time ago hi hey guys look at this a stack of boxes a bunch of boxes wrapped in damn cellophane exactly imagine like our Mash being in the middle of all those boxes wrap it back up WRA yeah just look like a pet of boxes sitting on the trailer that’ll work so the idea I come up with is we’re going to build a plywood box and then we’re going to take all these boxes and stack around that plywood box and then we’re going to rec cellophane it to
where you can’t see nothing from the outside let’s get it done let’s do it we are against eightball here but he’s got an idea so let’s go Jerry this is going to be the base to our whole Contraption here so the first step we have to do is build a sturdy platform because we’re going to have potentially 1,000 lb sitting on this thing one here we got to get a good strong sturdy base then we can actually start with the sides of our box man it’s awful lot of work just to hide some MK and run down the road hey what kind of damn bird can’t fly a jail
bird a jail bird my God this is going to work ain’t it Jerry I think it’s looking better ain’t it perfect good good right there what you think I like it I guess why we get the water and all boiling we can start stacking our boxes oh yeah you know now that we got this thing put together we got it on the trailer time to get the disguise going we’re stacking these boxes each box place looking better and better last one I’m going to tell you what Jerry looks like a pallet of boxes don’t it you got some wrap we’re going to shrink wrap this
entire thing anytime you’re driving down the road you see a stack of boxes on the pallet they’re going to be shrink wrapped together that’s good Richard can you see me man where the hell y’all went peekaboo next thing we got to do just pour us about two five gallon buckets full of pomus in each barel woo it stuff smells good add the hot water melt some brown sugar and white sugar down boy mixing that white sugar and that brown sugar is going to give it that good carel flavor so we put the spices in there we got a little nutmeg
some clove it don’t t b about a tablespoon per barel and a few cinnamon sticks to throw into our mash and that’s all you need oh yeah you know I don’t know if this pomas will make good apple pie moonshine or not smelling apple pie already you smelling apple pie bu but I’m willing to give this a shot especially if we can get it for free if we can pull the flavor out of this and get the flavor of a good apple pie we going to be making money you know guys we’ve got a mash mashed in we got it disguised we only got one more
obstacle find somewhere to run it off we got money in our pocket then season ain’t over yet it ain’t over yet we’re going to finish strong Richard keep the eyeballs peeled man I’m looking everywhere man now this is the most important part of our operation right now this is the most dangerous part right here yes it is moving Mash is a little more risky than transporting a steel somewhere because they know exactly what you going to be doing with that Mash this is always a nerve-wracking part for me guys I cannot
stand transporting down mash and stuff up and down the road we’ve got our steel stolen the cops has been hot on our Trail we’ve not made very much money this year everything has not really worked out in our favor this year so we need to be nervous about everything get this sowi much to the to the barn right now I tell you what son we turn off the black top to where the gravel meets Road it’s the home stretch now and if we can just get backed up and unload this trailer oh M could be just fine well guys we got her in here
brother all we got to do is get this thing unstrapped get our pumps and hoses ready to go go get the pumping mice and we’ll be ready for business this is a recipe that we’ve never made before an apple pmus that can be an apple pie brandy all right M hit it it’s really really important that we can make some money with this run all right budy we going switch chamers there you go I need to get some money in diggers hands ASAP these guys need to get some money in their pockets it’s really really important that this run works all
right we’re good and full come on up fireing the hole I got a hire too back in business running again guys you know it’s been the first time we’ve had this thing fired up since we got stolen so keep an eye on the valves on the bottom and everything yeah you just don’t you don’t never really know I mean something can be there that the eyes can’t see this guy that stole it you know he banged it all up we had to fix the pot but even to be able to bring it over here there’s no tellings what could potentially go wrong
we’re going to have it under locking key mhm that makes me feel a lot safer you know thing but one gon’s got to come off of the top to the barn owner and then the rest of it goes in our pocket well I’m glad we are where we are and we’re doing what we’re doing and we’re all together still guys we got alcohol we are running the first run alcohol since we got the baby back we haven’t been able to catch a break at all this season get rid of these old heads I just want to get some money in my pocket right now that’s a feeling that I
miss we can make some good shine out of this apple pish this is a big time Game Changer right here I mean we getting this stuff for free I definitely get the Apple that’s for sure the clove nutmeg’s coming through oh yeah the cloves coming through there it smells awesome I smell like brown sugar smells just like a dag on Pope but we’re not going to be 100% sure until we taste it taste a little hint of cinnamon in there I’m going tell you what that nutmeg is not overpowering you know nutmeg and cloves take over that’s what
we’re looking for it tastes awesome all our spices matter really well that ain’t nothing but good old clear apple pie right there fellas finally we’re going to put money in our pockets Guys these buckets are almost full we got our land oner taking care of to day good to go and money in our pockets today exactly we’ve got 10 gallons of alcohol sitting here right now it’s time to get out of here go give our barn owner his gallon worth and get on to trying to sell the rest of it put some money in our pocket
