Homemade shine

I'm in the biz of buying it from different producers. Love the nuances b/w family recipes and such. Been a while since I've bought straight up white liquor. Older age has forced me to the blends. Straight white makes me make bad decisions!
The ill gotten blends are better than the legit, IMHO.

Yeah, the white about kills me also. Especially when you distill it multiple times. I find though that if I add some honey and let it sit it does well.
I also like to make apple shine. I cook some apples and cinnamon with sugar. I mix it down to about 40% and let it sit 3 months and dayuuum!

Yeah, it's pretty damn good. A lot of people confuse it with apple pie but it is way stronger. I have been piss drunk just from eating the apple slices. The apple seems to collect and concentrate the alcohol.

I love the homebrew shine but it's kind of hard to get up in Minnesota. Thankfully I've had a couple of southern friends that have taken care of me in the past though :eyebrow:
Apple Pie shine is awesome but it can be DANGEROUS! Since it doesn't have the kick of the white stuff it can sneak up on you awfully fast.

Honestly it's a lot of fun and is rather safe compared to the hillbilly shine they used to make. As long as you control your temperature you can get it down well.
