basically said this:

My favorite part was when his ABV dropped and he poured more sugar in the boiler, put the cap back on and said it would increase the ABV at the out put! LOL

It truly is a damned shame that people are watching this and thinking that this is how its done...........

happy stillin

FS

be safe... almost they only part of moonshiners we should use is the part that makes us LAUGH ;D

The ones used at the time were of dubious construction. The SHAPE is fine in principle, and if constructed properly - I have seen a nice all copper one - they work as well as any other design.

The problem occurs with the way they were used at the time - which may explain the sugar comment.

As stated, you fermented in the boiler, slapped on a cap and then did a distillation run. Typically you would then add more sugar to the grain in the boiler, re-ferment, re-distil, and repeat that cycle another 3 or 4 times.

You can only imagine that the quality of the last distillation cycle was not that great!!!

Its how they were used which gives them the bad reputation. There is no point in adding sugar to a boiler before you fire it up for a distillation run. :)

The purpose of a stripping run is to eliminate non fermentable bits, solids, etc. The less you have to strip out, the cleaner your product is likely to be.

And hats off and welcome to Squint, a newbie to spot this too, awesome!
Please stick around, we need sharp people like you here.

If you notice, they'll happily leave bits of bollocks in the programme, but are never particularly precise when it comes to ingredients, method/technique.

I guess the programme makers are spineless gits, with a government issued broadcast license to defend/protect.......
