Richard Gets Nervous Making "Nostalgic" Cotton Candy Moonshine Out In The Open | Moonshiners 

They are liquor artisans

You can’t make something your own that’s been around for thousands of years 😆

@@humbleservant1294 distilling isn't even 700 years old

@@probablynotdad6553 The inflammable nature of the exhalations of wine was already known to ancient natural philosophers such as Aristotle (384-322 BCE), Theophrastus (c. 371-287 BCE), and Pliny the Elder (23/24-79 CE).[16] However, this did not immediately lead to the isolation of alcohol, even despite the development of more advanced distillation techniques in second- and third-century Roman Egypt.[17] An important recognition, first found in one of the writings attributed to Jābir ibn Ḥayyān (ninth century CE), was that by adding salt to boiling wine, which increases the wine's relative volatility, the flammability of the resulting vapors may be enhanced.[18] The distillation of wine is attested in Arabic works attributed to al-Kindī (c. 801-873 CE) and to al-Fārābī (c. 872-950), and in the 28th book of al-Zahrāwī's (Latin: Abulcasis, 936-1013) Kitāb al-Taṣrīf (later translated into Latin as Liber servatoris).[19] In the twelfth century, recipes for the production of aqua ardens ("burning water", i.e., alcohol) by distilling wine with salt started to appear in a number of Latin works, and by the end of the thirteenth century it had become a widely known substance among Western European chemists.[20] Its medicinal properties were studied by Arnald of Villanova (1240-1311 CE) and John of Rupescissa (c. 1310-1366), the latter of whom regarded it as a life-preserving substance able to prevent all diseases (the aqua vitae or "water of life", also called by John the quintessence of wine).[21] In China, archaeological evidence indicates that the true distillation of alcohol began during the 12th century Jin or Southern Song dynasties.[15] A still has been found at an archaeological site in Qinglong, Hebei, dating to the 12th century.[15] In India, the true distillation of alcohol was introduced from the Middle East, and was in wide use in the Delhi Sultanate by the 14th century.[14] The works of Taddeo Alderotti (1223-1296) describe a method for concentrating alcohol involving repeated fractional distillation through a water-cooled still, by which an alcohol purity of 90% could be obtained.[22] In 1437, "burned water" (brandy) was mentioned in the records of the County of Katzenelnbogen in Germany.[23] It was served in a tall, narrow glass called a Goderulffe.

Second century 🤡

Southern charm.

No ego just straight business

@Steven Universe they arent actors, they are licensed distillers that make for a virginia distillery (most of them).

@Steven Universe well considering they are making this liquor in my home town I can very much tell you this is real.

i love these guys, if i definitely want to try their liquor i bet its amazing

Only yours jesus… only yours.

same 😭😭💯

I thought it was something bloody lol

I thought it was a chicken thigh or sum shit

@@jakefromstatefarm483 yeah I can see that lol

It makes sense. Cotton candy is essentially spun sugar plus artificial flavorings

I don’t believe he died

Tickle is still alive

@@razrr8484 he got married...same thing

@@christopherrollins7910 very true😂

All u do is ferment and then distill it

Google

You should absorb your own experiences then.

I've tried making a cotton candy rum (Pina Colada flavor). It didn't taste any different. I'll have to try it again.

You have your own set of interests and skills, lean into the shit you care about and you’ll be someone’s dad someday…uh wait that doesn’t sound right. Point is, the eternal crisis of one’s inadequacy is also an invitation to always dream of an even greater reality. I hope you find solace in the fact that the only talent in the world is the stupidity to not quit.

“good ole boys”

Times have changed just about I don't know a few decades ago they would be really fucking scared if good ol boys were coming down the river

@@BlazRa ok? What’s your point

@@BROVALDES exactly what I said times have changed

@@BlazRa what does that have to do with the video though.

"I don't Smell anymore chemicals" "Yeah I think we burned em out" "They outta there." Learned a lot. Keeping the temperature is THE MAIN THANG. And if you see Acetone, tell them these fellas finna burn that mfkr.

@@BackwoodBanshee There is NO acetone in cotton candy. Acetone is a product of the fermentation process. Even if they used a corn mash they would still need to boil out the acetone.

@@88Magician88 You must be the life of the party arent you. The point went WAYYY over your head. Stop thinking so hard you might break something.

@@BackwoodBanshee What point was that? The video itself is highly misleading. Acetone shows up in the fermentation process, and comes out as part of the "head". So when he was heating the bucket of sugar water there was no acetone. So if you, "learned a lot" then I guess it went WAYYY over your head. How about you try thinking? Might do some good!

@@88Magician88 Sarcasm clearly isn't your strong suit you hypergenius. Remember me when you're a billionaire, or maybe I'll say hi when I drive through the underpass. Edit: #AcetoneCheck

What’s the point of a consumer wearing camo outside of hunting?

@@MrHasie I'm talking about his laid back personality and his flair for creating good Moonshine. Not his sense of fashion which like every Moonshiner is "Camo chic" lol

@@MrHasie it’s a Louisiana thing, a lot of people wear camo bandannas to signify that they come from New Orleans. _Source: I’m from Nola, born and raised since ‘89_

@@MrHasie Ppl throughout the South where camo casually.

@@MrHasie I’m wear mine to school 😂

That absinthe and bloody mary moonshine were SOOOooo difficult to make !

Yes its intended that way. You dont make a cake for someone with a box mix lol you use the best ingredients possible

Generally they want low concentration of iron and high concentration of calcium in the water for brewing. And spring water is ideal for that purpose.

Its really not but just to make the show more exciting they make it look like it is

@@Niko-bf7nw you need licenses to do this stuff.

It’s illegal bc they aren’t paying taxes on it, and they aren’t paying taxes on it bc it’s illegal. $$$ is what it comes down to at the end of the day

It's legal to make a certain amount no different than making wine at home.

Can make it for yourself. Just not for sale. Just like guns. Also fuck the ATF.

One of the best too

💯

WHY ARE YOU TYPING IN ALL CAPS

@@polaroidsofpolarbears365 EASEY TO SEE PEOPLE ACTUALLY READ MY COMMENTS

What a dorky comment.

I'll phone the cops

It is such a great show !!!!

texas water yehaw🤠

Those podunk hillbillies are a lot smarter and more resourceful than you would ever realize but you’d rather judge them based on their appearance and dialect

@@surgeyibrahimovic5013 the whole message within their comment really went over your head didn't it, jeez

@@nicholasouellette R/Woosh

@@that1nerdyblackgirl736 you're kidding right-

I feel like "entrepreneurs" is a RACIST WHITE LIBERAL TERM to pat a shine on the back and say, "GOOD BOY".........

@@isorokudono it's not buddy, calm down, lol.

@@rockylee3000 oh trust me it is.

@@isorokudono are you offended by everything

It's TV so duh. It's all staged anyway

might get a taste of what the artist makes.

Its smooth and strong

These guys are. A lot of people are not. Its like with construction. There are some great contractors, a lot of mediocre contractors, nbd more than you'd expect scammers who would put your life at risk for money. The head of a batch can literally make you blind. You gotta have a real trustworthy source. And when the market becomes hyper competitive, you get violence. These guys seem cool and seem like they do a good honest hearted bit of illegal work, its the other shady dudes that we gotta worry about.

I hope they can get their own liquor business running or something so they can sell it legally, because I don't want them to get in trouble for doing this

@@Dell-ol6hb they have the licenses needed already, everyone on the show does. It's entirely scripted to keep up the intensity

@@apunishedmannamed2473 ding, this guy here has it right.

Are you not allowed to make alcohol in Kenya without a lisence

@@goatpepperherbaltea7895 there is a huge amount of unlicensed alcohol making in Africa

@@goatpepperherbaltea7895 You need a license to commercially make alcohol in almost every country, and for a good reason too lol

Unless it somehow converts into acetone or rescts with something else, i dont think boiling it would even remove the acetate ions

@@cyruskhalvati ever boil vinegar?

@@calvinlim9485 yeah all the time, Making hot sauce. But the thing is, thats when i know the stuff in the pot. The acetate could potentially react with some of the alcohols in the mash during the ferment. It can also mess with your yeast.

Seems odd too, the bulk cotton candy sugar that most places use doesn't even have preservatives, or anything with the word "acetate" in it. Like Gold Medal Flossugar for example, comes in big ass 1/2 gallon cartons, only has sugar, food coloring, and vanilla flavoring.

Heliotropyl acetone. All you had to do was look it up.

Same here. My dad and I don't drink, but we like the show.

What area?

Prolly because the greedy government cannot tax it. 🙄

@@elbauzan 🎯

@@elbauzan EXACTLY RIGHT🎯

Yup

It seems like the color . The cotton candy was pink, and the alcohol came out clear

Or the granulated sugar that's literally made for cotton candy, Would've saved money.

@@TLKdavid yeah because most of the cotton candy is just air so they are not getting there moneys worth.

@@shami9773 one bag is a tablespoon of sugar and flavouring that's it.

it was a test

@@phuckyoutube5927 yeah that’s what I meant they are being kind of wasteful in my opinion.

6 woop woop 🚨

You've never tried? Good stuff. It's not gross like vodka or nothing. I don't know maybe expensive vodka is better but it's not like Smirnoff.

What episode or season is this?

Bc it’s all for show

Do you know we're it's located?

@@epicmcgriddle7874 I don’t know their exact location, but I could just turn on the tv and have enough evidence to put em all in jail

You have to be caught in the progress of making moonshine. Absent that, you cannot be charged.

@@slickwillie9526 false. It has everything to do with non-taxed shine and legal distiller being shown (like right here). SMH. Don’t talk about stuff you don’t know I’m from the south baby.

That’s how a lot of backyards look down here in Louisiana

Yeast has a big part in determining alcohol tolerance. In theory, a bakers yeast would die due to alcohol content long before a kviek or dady.

Its not as much about being seen its about comfort. Go to Walmart or bass pro and get the 20 dollar nylon type camo pants and shirt or the more expensive kind and you will never want to take them off. Comfort,heritage, love for the country.

He is right on.

Lol, they also said they were burning "acetone" off of cotton candy.

What he said is when the water is hot enough it’ll melt much faster than in cold water. If you used your brain cells to understand that instead of clowning the man for no reason you wouldn’t have made such a idiotic comment. If you ever took a chem class you would know that hot boiling water has more energy than cold still water. Since boiling water molecules come into contact with the cotton candy faster and with more energy so it dissolves fast thus explaining his observations that the cotton candy “melts”. He isn’t stating that only hot water melts cotton candy he never said that. What he said is relative to cold water the cotton candy dissolves or melts better in hot water. This guy is in the woods separating molecules and distilling alcohol and doing chemistry and you believe that he thinks that cotton candy only melts in hot water. These 3 men take a more professional and scientific approach to moonshine than any hillbilly I’ve seen.

@@LolLol-yn4gw edit time stamp- 2:59 he literally says “when the water is warm enough…….it just starts to melt” that is directly implying that if the water is NOT warm enough then it won’t start to melt the same way. And I’ve taken several chemistry classes- you have to take 1 in high school and several more for a civil engineering degree, you don’t need to have taken a chemistry class to understand that no matter if the water is hot or cold the cotton candy is going to melt IMMEDIATELY. If you’re trying to time and compare the two even if there was a difference it would be a difference of milliseconds or even nanoseconds. In this whole paragraph all you did was make yourself look ignorant and foolish. Nobody came here to argue except for you and you did a terrible job at that, atleast research what you’re going to argue about next time dude shit is genuinely embarrassing snd it’s not even me😂. The second hand embarrassment is crazy

@@willhall796 lmao then you know about solubility and warmer water makes any solid dissolve faster idk how your gonna argue that and it’s definitely not milliseconds. There’s a reason why you want to precipitate anything or create a amalgamation of any liquid you heat it up not cool it down. So there is a difference .I love seeing you jump tru all these mental gymnastics but you got ratio’d and don’t know how to act now. How sad.gg no re.

@@willhall796 dam you even edited your comment.that’s tuff

@@LolLol-yn4gw yeah I edited the comment immediately after making it, and showed exactly what I had edited since it didn’t have a time stamp on it. Again it doesn’t matter whether water(or any liquid for that matter) is hot or cold because cotton candy is literally just sugar, it is 100% going to immediately dissolve in any liquid you put it into lol.

Maybe acetone has a lower boiling point than the flavor.

Flavor comes from the sugar, the chemicals are the food coloring and such.

LOL I love the idea and would definitely try it but yeah Smirnoff ice/smashed is the worst hangover

Does it

It's TELEVISION

It's an experiment.
