Real moonshine won't have a label on the jar. What you have is a marketing gimmick.

I picked up a 6-pack of Midnight Moon Apple Pie at Costco and made the mistake of bringing it to Thanksgiving dinner. After tasting it, my family nearly mugged me for the entire box. I was lucky to make it home with one jar left. I'm going back to Costco on Friday for more. |

I have been told that my great grandfather may have been involved in the dynamiting of a barn with federal agents in it during the same time the movie was set. A cousin said he found the newspaper article but I have never seen it. I know that my grandfather was involved in running shine when he was young. All of my sources are either dead or serving 10-20. Moonshine needs to be saved as an art and not this fake BS. Yes, its all about the taxes. |

And real moonshine? If I pour the legal stuff through my car radiator a few times will it taste the same as real moonshine? |

All this legal moonshine is an oxymoron. Moonshine is by definition illegal hooch that is sold out of the trunk of a car by a guy with no liquor lisence of any kind. It is also supposed to be cheaper than legal hooch.
It's cheap, rotgut, tax free freedom. This stuff makes an old man laugh. |

 People do realize "moonshine" is just ethanol and water right? Some clown gets some mason jars, puts a 50/50 mix of water and ethanol in it, AKA: strong vodka, slaps an old timey sticker on it and people actually buy that shit thinking it's somehow different than a fifth of 100 proof vodka. It's not. It doesn't matter what you make booze out of, grain, potatos, corn, whatever. When you distill and filter it, it's the same shit: Ethanol. Somehow "moonshine" has acquired this mystique when in reality it isn't anything remotely unique or special.

A hydrometer won't work, the dissolved sugar from the added cherries will increase the density, and give you a false low reading. To get an accurate reading you will need both a refractometer and a hydrometer. Or you can do spirit by indication with just a hydrometer. Take a hydrometer reading, boil off half the volume of the sample, then top up to original volume with distilled water. Plug the results into this formula SI = (SG2 – SG1)*1000 %ABV = (0.008032927443 * SI^2) + (0.6398537044 * SI) – 0.001184667159 Quote HistoryQuoted:
