alright, all this talk about moonshine here has got my interest peaked. i been collectin' hardware, doin my homework, and am about ready to build the still, ready the mash, and distill some likker.

anybody here do this? i know andytv has dabbled in it. yeast is my biggest ?. what would be best for fermenting corn mash? i have plenty of beer yeast. i would think an ale yeast should ferment fine, but is there something better?

Nah, you won't see much ass-rapin' up here. The only time you see that is when some of the good 'ol boys catch a kid-toucher. Generally the weapon of choice was copper piping. With the economy now, lead is back in vogue.

the reason there is a possibility of blindness, or a few other ailments, leading to death, is the 1st portion of the distilled liquid contains, either ethenol, or methenol, (i forget which 1 and i'm too lazy to google), and a few other toxic substances. pour the 1st glass in yer gas tank, and drink the rest. its that 1st glass that'll fvck ya up............the wrong way...........

Methanol ,which is not created from a corn or grain mash...

all the horror stories of blindness are from bootlegers adding wood grain ( methanol) alcohol to the finished product...

Ethanol does not cause blindness but does induce a hangover..
