No, but drink it every spring while in TN, it's the only part of that motorcycle rally that I don't like!

My wife's cousin is licensed to make his own "fuel" in west virginia...as a result he gets to make "shine" legally...we usually get one or 2 bottles a yr from him...flavored and str8 up shine...If you would like I can ask her to speak to him and try and get a recipe or 2 for ya...len

I havenot made any but I have drank some over the years.

 

[JgButler]

Never made any but do enjoy a sip now and again. Got a quart chillin in the fridge now.

I too enjoy a little shine every now and then, mostly over the holidays though when I can enjoy it with friends and family.
I do have a question: Does moonshine go bad? I have 4 clear non flavored qt jars in my refrigerator that have been there for at least two years, maybe a little more. Two of the jars have been opened, the other two are untouched. I ask because the holidays are upon us and I do not want to have to worry about vision problems, or people getting sick over a shot or two, all because of some bad moonshine. Can you tell by sight or by smell if moonshine has gone bad?
Thank you for your time,
Mike

Some of the smoothest I've ever had came from Tennessee.

ATF busts a still at least once or twice month here in North Carolina.

 

[VillageIdiot]

I had it once years ago. It just wasn't for me.

 

[Doc]

our family made it for a long time and I still enjoy it when I can. Never heard of it going bad unless it was made in a bad still but then I never flavored any either.

I've never made it but if you get your hands on some I'll tell you what we do up in Northeast TN. We'll fill a jar with cherries and then fill the jar with moonshine. Let them soak for a while (at least 2-3 days, a week is probably better) and then eat the cherries. You can put them on top of some vanilla ice cream for a real treat. Always loved eating those cherries.

Peach is great, especially mixed into a summertime peach milkshake. Get a chance to try some now and again, I like to sip it. I think the laws allow for so much to be made for personal consumption, I already have too many hobbies, this one will have to wait many years.
