Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Moonshine operation shut down in Bullock County, Alabama

makes you wonder. It was on private property and the land owner didnt know about it. How did they happen to stumble onto it?

Ole Tickle is gonna be mad as hell when he finds out

How many overfed .gov employees does it take to destroy someone's property without due process? Sickening, the way the government just won't leave people alone.

It takes a lot of sugar for an operation like that. Someone had to sell it and someone could have seen it being bought. Secrets are hard to keep, if the guy asking about it has a badge. The LEO's never seemed to have a real problem finding a still around here when they wanted to find it....

What a relief.

I wouldn't want anybody in Alabama to get drunk.

They like them some facebook. Same as you do. lol

2 pounds per gal,,,and they need to tape trashbags over their barrels to prevent the alcohol vapors from escaping,,, the vapors will baloon the bag then settle back in a day or so,, way more effecient,, and get rid of that corn an rye and use honey for gods sakes man we are not Neanderthal's

In this day and age you lookin at some of the hardest work in the world right there.
I have personally witnessed men in uniform giggling while they destroyed things like that. When just a boy I was made to watch a man in uniform destroying a similar set-up—he thought it would straighten me out.
He was a really dumb SOB.

I thought you could make all you want as long as you don’t sale it!

That works as long as you don’t get caught.

I just looked it up. In the state of Arkansas you can for personal consumption only without a permit!

Confused....

600 gallons of white dog would require 6000 gallons of mash...per week

That's a steady operation

I think that is for wine and beer only, or at least it used to be. miles

Correct, Miles, shine is not legal. You can get a permit for distilling alcohol for fuel only.

Legal in the land of freedom.

Ya can distill 100 gallons, if you're over 21.

And in a brilliant move by the legislature, if you're married ya get 200 gallons, for obvious reasons.

Where is this land of freedom of which you speak?

MOtown.

Revenuers gotta start boning up on busting stills after the F is going to be removed from their name soon.

F'n guv just can't leave anyone alone.

A friend was picking up large quantities of sugar from a retailer,
for someones "bakery", as a favor. They had him doing it because
it was convient from his job.

I told him that moonshiners often get caught by purchasing sugar.
The feds actually somewhat monitor it's distribution. And his 4-600#
weekly to bi-weekly purchases might get attention. They even had it
set to be picked up in his name.

And it wouldn't be a good thing to be unloading sugar if a raid went
down.

He no longer hauls sugar.

Guess he doesn't want to get caught with underground baked goods!😉
