Moonshiners Panic After Accidentally Making Blue Liquor | Moonshiners 

You all left out the best part! For those that didn't watch the full episode, Beez was playing a prank on them. He added blue food coloring to the liquor during the first run. The reveal of the joke was the best part of the episode. The color is stripped out in the second distillation run.

Tuco: "What is this? This is blue." Walter: "We used a different chemical process, but it is every bit as pure." Jesse: "It may be blue, but it's the bomb."

I used to make homemade cider with my dad every autumn and we used a sterilized and thouraghly cleaned chipper shredder for making the apple mash there too. It works fantastically well for big batches like this.

I've watched Moonshiners since its early runs and have enjoyed the colorful characters that have come and gone. Throughout most of the run, Tickle seemed to be most people's favorite. I liked Tim, mainly because he was making the illegal moonshine while holding the prestigious position of Assistant Volunteer Fire Chief for the Village of Climax. But when Mark and Digger came along, they became my favorites hands down. They're funny, sincere, and abide by a strict code of honesty. And they prove that two heads are better than one.

99.1% pure moonshine

My grandaddy made his own wine and liquor in the sticks of Georgia for decades. Mad at myself that I didn’t learn from him when I had the chance. If you ever see a man selling liquor with Liberty overalls on, know it’s legit.

these guys don't seem like the type of people to be so incredibly articulate about the different tastes and feels of alcohol, but it makes sense. it shows how much passion they have😊

We all know what show comes to mind. Every bit as pure.

I like how these distillers are out randomly placed in nature where only these guys know where they are. Seems rogue but really cool.

A couple years ago a friend of mine invited me to his sushi restaurant to celebrate his father's 80th birthday. I'm not into drinking to get drunk, but when the old man waved me over to the kitchen I found myself sharing a $3300 bottle of cognac with him. It was very good tasting, sweet and warm, yet still quite smooth as I'm sure it was supposed to be at that price. For more than three grand it was a pretty small bottle, but I wouldn't know for certain what good, great or terrible cognac would be like.

"Why are you blue"- Walter White

cognac is fantastic for cooking too. I use it in a variety of ways; for example, it's extremely good with beef and potato stew. Also for any roast as a way to complement the sauce instead of using white or red wine. Too strong for desserts though, I use Licor 43, a spanish liquor that's perfect to that end.

they cut it off before it was revealed that it was only some blue food coloring that Killer Beaz had put in the distillate to get Mark back for his prank. The distillate was good after all.

it takes a real man to admit his mistakes. Thank you for showing the real newbies what a botch job looks like Edit; We’ve been tricked, We’ve been backstabbed and We’ve quite possibly bamboozled

when homeboy put his feet on the grapes, i damn near died

I have never heard them called that my entire life. I grew up eating muscadines off the vine. Always they were "muscadines" Turns out, scuppernong is the oldest muscadine cultivar and it was selected from the wilds of the North Carolina's Scuppernong River. Fascinating to me.

Love these little shows on here. I'll watch em all

It was a great prank and episode love watching Moonshiners

These kinda things are just more the reason why I’m stayin’ in the Valley ‘til I’m grey and gone❤️ Natural beauty, critters galore, thousands of fresh water springs, mountain ranges, wholesome morals, etc. Just can’t beat it👏

So relaxing just watching these guys making some liquor.

1: they can see its obviously blue food dye 2: it would come out if you ran it back through still

"Boy if anybody sees us doin this crap right here we will be blackballed from the world of damn liquor". Well probably not a good idea to do that on national television if that's the case 😂😅

My uncles up in the mountains of southeast KY, made, shine, homebrew and home made wine. They were the last ones. Sure miss them

"Tight! Tight! Tight!" "Blue, yellow, f-ing pink; whatever, just keep bringing me that!" -Tuco Salamanca

They got pranked back for those wondering, they didn't actually mess up.

Mark, making moonshine is serious business 🤣not a prank Those 2 always crack me up

Alot of fond memories of Mr. Truett Beasley hanging out with my family when he came home to visit

My family used to make Aguardente in the Azores, Pico. In the town Santo Amaro. Neves family :)

I'm poor, so a good portion of my life has been spent collecting bottles and cans for money. I can't stand the smell of most alcohols, but whenever I come across an old empty bottle of Hennessy, I can't help but uncork that thing and take a whiff. Smells so good. I'll never touch alcohol, but damn it if that Cognac doesn't tempt me to start lol.

A man walks into a bar and orders 3 shots of moonshine then looks into his pocket. He does this over and over again. Finally, the bartender asks why he orders 3 hots of moonshine and afterwards look into his pocket. The man responded, "I have a picture of my wife in there and when she starts to look good then it's time to go home."

*chuckles!* Love these guys.

I was wondering why it was so hard to find the grapes in the panhandle

Wahahahaha!!!! They pranked him and he pranked them back!! At least they all had a good laugh at each other's expense, as it should be amongst friends!!!!

I love this accent. Make everything sounds so fancy and rustic.

Cognac by far my favorite liquor

Imagine watching this and thinking it's not scripted. A long time ago, Discovery had quality programming.

It actually looks cool and I haven't watch this show in a long time

There's something incredibly wholesome that the go-to for something that's gorgeous is a new-born baby

my favorite shine was from tennesee and they scorched the beir and i turned out tasting like burnt tequila... wonderful

Every time i watch a episode Yall make me open a beer😂😂

Mashing up expensive grapes with foot fungi 😂😂

The family farm in KY was bought and paid for with shine by my great great grandfather and his son. I've ate many a muscadine but I've never heard of these grapes.

I am addicted to this show and I have no idea why I am hooked.

'You're turning into an outstanding liquor man'...... Lombardi School of Hype The Team. Beautiful 🏅

Some people wouldn't let another person drink out of their bottle, yet are happy to drink FOOT infused alcohol

I could sit on a fallen tree batch just like a child, eating an apple and laughing with these guys forever 😂 just like I did when my grandad and uncles made poitin back in the 70's

Brandy is just fabulous.

I have both Muscadine’s and scuppernog wine . Am tempted to distill to see how they taste as brandy

Aww come on ya cut out the funniest part 🤣 beaz got the last laugh in on them 😂

I know you mentioned the cleaning solution but can your mash itself be so acidic that it tarnishes the copper to a turquoise blue?

Man every time I hear about moonshine all I think about is “Lawless” one of my favorite movies.

That was a good one Killer Bees played on Mark and Digger

LOVE THESE GUYS💯♥️♥️

I remember an episode where Josh and his friend accidentally made blue liquor and they tossed it

Makes for Great Northern weather windshield washer Fluid though!

These are some real craftsmen.

Sometimes, blue booze from the still isn't a prank! We tried a new mash recipe years ago...the ferment took much longer than expected and smelled a little 'off'. We didn't think much of it at the time; the hydrometer said all the sugar was consumed, time to cook! During the distillation, the product began to turn bright blue and we detected a faint ammonia smell. We thought it was a weird 'heads' thing, but the color kept getting deeper so we stopped about 1/2 way through the run. We tested the mash with pH strips...it was around pH 12-13 and reeked of ammonia. Extremely basic...you want slightly acidic! The product wasn't as basic, around pH 8-10. On cleaning the still, we found tiny blue/green crystals on every copper surface, lots of deep pitting. The crystals dissolved in warm water; my best guess was copper acetate. Ammonia dissolves copper, making the product a bright blue. We never used that mash recipe again! Always check the pH of your mash. If it isn't distinctly acidic, it might be going bad.

We did this to my friends brother in law cutting the grass with an electric mower. It was plugged in inside so we'd take it out... Watch him kick it a few times then plug it back in.. He got so mad lol it was great.

Now all of the kids at home can make some for there school projects and when there Hagen with there friends 👍 grate work

hell yeah brother! proud to be dutch xD we're the best in so many things its actually crazy

Moonshiners is literally the only thing on this channel worth watching. 😂

Smokin some bud drinking some beer watching all their clips

0:34 looking at him like "you don't know this...?" 😄

Never heard of conjac before but now I will try it

There was a time when discovery Chanel was educational.

Why didn't they show that it was a joke? The old man slipped some blue food coloring in it as a joke since they made him get in and stomp the grapes as a joke! It was hilarious!

Blue yellow pink just bring me more of that!!!!

This man just said "he's all in, head down wide open.." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He’s now the Heisenburg of moonshine

It's because of the fungus on his feet 😂

Y'all just made some back woods hypnotique 😏👍

I remember when I was in high school, drinking blue artesian Agua Ardiente, made in the Chilean countryside.

Once in a blue moon shine.

Dude almost made Blue Sky accidentally, lol.

I knew these guys were from Tennessee! They got the same accent as all my relatives from there.

my plum tree had like 1,000 plums, filled up my 3 gallon fermenting container pretty easily, going for 13 bottles of wine this stuff is very juicy about 75% juice

Those guys with a clean and decent place and an hygiene training would be able to make some good liquor I'm sure.

I don’t think a little cleaning solution has stopped a moonshiner before 😂

Thank god tuco still likes it 🙏🏻

Acidity in the mash washed the copper oxide; run it through a stainless to resolve

Killer Cognac. With a fresh taste of Toe Blue Fungal. The taste you can taste. 🍻

"Oh em gee if anyone catches us we'll be going to jail for sure!" *doesn't see the cameraman 5ft away*

Somewhere out there Heisenberg is smiling.

I’d love to try that Cognac

this is why i prefer using glass instead of anything else for distilling anything. Also, the copper contamination dose not sound like much of a problem when you are intending to redistill it anyway.

"looks like its workin" "thats what she never said"

When they said them feet look like they should be on a mouse!!!!! I lost it.

Damn man I am addicted to seeing this moonshiners

I would've called it once in a blue moonshine 😂

Never seen shiners ever use such brand new vehicles especially on a site.

feet really brings that flavor the kick at the end

Moonshine is good ,and gives you a good buzz fast, I like it. I drink once in a while

I miss when the discovery channel just documented things. Real things. This is so manufactured and manipulated that it no longer resembles anything real.

Even if it’s blue and it tastes good what’s the problem?

"Floral flavours of fruit to the front" What a lovely alliteration!

Color could be from anthocyanin, it’s the main chemical that gives wine it's color. In a solution with an acidic pH it's red but in more basic evioments it's blue.

Just in case you're wanting to look these up, they're called SCUPPERNONGS, not "scupnines".

Some guy asked me if I wanted to check out the moonshine he had mixed up in his bathtub in his barracks and I declined while being fully grossed out.

I gotta start using this : “I’m surprised y’all weren’t on top of that.” That is going to be a regular part of my vocabulary anytime I screw up.

My ice maker was making blue ice 🧊 cubes for ever. Finally found out it was the old copper lines in my house
