Subject: RE: Folklore: Moonshine (2)
Aw,it can't touch the stuff me and my brother made in New Salem State Park, Illinois. Right in front of literally hundreds of people. Everyone was interested, but only some of the REAL old-timers could tell (by the smell) what was cookin'. After a couple of years we went to distilling water, but it was fun for awhile and we even had a permit from the BATF to do it.

We used Grandpa's personal still (the Sheriff smashed his big one when he busted him back during Prohibition days), and that's now in a museum. That is not to say that we do not have stills still, however.
