I really hope richard and his brother get their own show 1 day. They are brilliant

These guys are so good at what they do, they know exactly how to F things up every episode to create that TV drama and then fix it in under a minute.

Back in the 70's I worked with an old man who wanted me to help him pick up all the peaches that fell off his trees after a hard early freeze. We ended up with almost two 55 gallon drums of them. A couple of weeks later he showed up at work with a small wooden keg and poured me a cup of his freshly distilled peach brandy! It was fabulous!

We watched this episode as it first aired. Richard has also appeared on Moonshiners - Master Distiller and won the hard-earned & coveted title of "Master Distiller". He's also been in other shows, working with his brother and also with Mark Ramsey & 'Digger' Manes. His approach to making liquor, both in his Louisiana home place and just about anywhere else, is fantastic!

“I thought this was bananas, but this is jus plain nuts” 😂😂😂😂that the best Richard line to date, no debate

*Even while people were for the most part isolated from each other. Through some primal urge, every group was able to ferment plants and algae into a consumable liquid that knocked the wind out of them* 😂😂😂

Richard has Truly mastered his craft. I love to see him work with different fruits and ingredients.

I just have massive respect for this level of artistry, no matter what the subject matter is..

Pure skill passed down from generation to generation

i was intrigued at the cane sugar, but when he put in actual vanilla i knew this man is the real deal. that must be some tasty moonshine. caramellized brown sugar, nuts? at this point you're just flexing man. i'd kill for a bottle.

These guys have such awesome accents. I want Louisiana bayou moonshiners as my GPS.

richard is easily my fav moonshiner on this show. dude is not afraid to take risks with his product and because of that he makes some insanely unique liquor

"I thought this was bananas man but this is just plain nuts" Artisans and comedians. Brilliant!

Richard is extremely intelligent. He understands the chemistry involved and how to make the flavors come through and where to add what. Amazing.

I wish they'd drop the moonshine BS trappings and just let us see the process of Richard and Craig making great liquor. I'd love for them to have their own show.

I can watch / listen to these brothers all day long. Would be a treat to spend time with them. Greetings and respect to all from Durango Mexico 🇲🇽

This looks incredible, I need a bottle. These guys are geniuses

Excellent work guys... The attention to flavor, like how production was stopped due to the lack of vanilla... Maaaaaan bro was on it. Perfect team right here.

Shot out to Craig and Richard, I use to chill with them in New Iberia. I'm proud of yall brothers and it looks good bro.

richard is knowledgable, confident, and easy to listen to. You find yourself rooting for him despite having no real idea whats going wrong or whats going on in his head.

there’s gonna be a weed show like this in 10 years

These two are absolute masters. Love watching them work their magic.

More of these guys and give them a raise

The freaking knowledge they hold... wow.. they need a show of their own..

Love to see siblings work together like this

I’m a chef and it’s a pleasure watching a true craftsman at work.

I love how passionate they are

I think that the creaminess comes from the the fact that the nuts have high fat content, and the alcohol is able to break that down and bond to it to change the texture of the liquor to a more rich and oil like viscosity, when things are lightly oiled (yes Oil is fat) typically taste creamy. Butter is high in fat content, ice cream, milk, cream.

When Craig tastes the first batch and say sumn aint right always gets me

When he said "We going to lacerate our nuts now." lmao

Bananas foster as liquid courage sounds like a good time to me and it makes sense that the vanilla cooked out since it’s a delicate flavor that can easily be lost when cooking it too long that’s why in most recipes you’ll notice it’s the last or second to last ingredient to avoid it being exposed to too much heat

These 2 dudes are straight up Artisans!!They need their own show!!!

These brothers are the best thing ever happened to this show💯they need hire own newtwork

I'm not a drinker..but man I wanna try that moonshine out. Just a taste 🙂

I don't even drink, but I want to taste their moonshine!

This dude is like a mix between Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Idris Elba. Lmao

I'll buy , I will definitely support my native black American brothers🤙🏾✊🏾

These gentlemen impress me so much with their knowledge and expertise Out in the Bayou making fine spirits. They way they explain and describe everything makes it sound so delicious too

Hold up that’s like making pecan candy liquor 🤤

I can imagine Richard having a pillow made from moonshine vapours, completely sealed and soft

gives these good entrepreneurs a show 💯👏🏿

Looks like good shine..shone... Richard and his bro really take the time to level up the flavors the right way..(not just post production like many others do) ... Love their thoughts process and always trying to come up with new and exciting flavors of shine!

If this was my job I'd be drunk 24/7

The love they put in is just WOW.

If they had wait until those bananas were a little more old....... Man that would of made that moonshine all that better

I don't drink myself, but my god its great to hear these guys and see this. I really hope they get their own brand. It is something about how really artisanal they are for me. They talk between art and science effortlessly. And I mean the whole story of illegal moonshine in New Orleans is awesome.

I like these guys. It kinda cracks me up how they try to hide how educated they really are on this process. These guys where for sure professionally trained in a lab.

I love when I hear “wth you mean this ain’t right?🤨” kills me😂

If these dude are the real deal, I'd love to just hang out with them. If they're actors, they nailed it hahaha

My grandfather did the same technique to make Banana Alcohol back 1930's

I love when they have a problem... Then they solve it. They make me wanna moonshine just 2 pin point and solve the problems.

He seems like the the kind of guy that would just drop pearls of wisdom on you while you working together without even trying .

My fav fruit is pears tho when they fall all the bees go get hammered half of them can't fly they're so drunk I don't drink but find it fascinating and love pears off the tree

"That's not acceptable... this is a real high-end customer." *Proceeds to drink directly off mixing spoon

Livin the dream brother's Thank you for your service God bless Just saying

these guys aren't mere moonshiners, they're artisans

"you'd think this wouldn't be enough vanilla but your wrong" straight lies

I like theys 2 old boys they work hard and they good people you can’t find good people anymore you all besafe and godless you and y’all family

So glad he's on another show! Loved watching him on Master Distiller!

They should've caramelized some of those bananas before putting them in the mash.

Sounds and looks so good. These gentlemen are so cool and knowledgeable! Never thought I would find this so interesting but it's surely thanks to Richard and his brother and the production.

The fact that all the amalayse in the bannanas turn alot of the starch in the stem and peal into edible sugars for the yeast makes it so you don't have to do much and still get a good and possibly even more of the product but let's tell the moonshiner how to do his job

they need their own liquor label and company

These guys got skills

Moonshine rum is very good for cold, mix it with lemon 🍋 juice and it will take your in head cold right out. It's a healthy drink most elderly people know about it.

8:00 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the way they hyped up the drink just for him to say that I’m cryin

“you might not think this is enough vanilla but trust me it is.” *takes the first sip* “not enough vanilla”

These guys really need their own specialty drinks. I would buy anything from them

Richard easily has the best ideas of all of them. I would add a little cinnamon to really set it off

I can watch these guys for hours . They are true masters at making masterpieces!! Good job guys . You deserve a award.

this really just showcases how my people are the masters of liquor

these guys are the reason I watch this show ...

All of us are making moonshine around here but what those guys are doing is art.

Wow these guys are great to watch. I learnt a ton just by watching and really enjoyed all their subtleties both in their manners and practices to get the right taste they were looking for. Cool and collective all the while very good watch I also hope to see more from them one day

These guys are so passionate. Love watching them

Wishing I could have shared the batch of shine I made ... wild crab apple.... double fermented...double distilled...second distilled...thumped with banana and stick of cinnamon... then 1/2 the batch. .added carbonation...then bottled in champagne bottles...WOUHOOO...HELL OF A KICK...PANTIE REMOVET... it was incredible

It seems to me that the world might have so many more masters of this craft had alcohol not been demonized. You can clearly see that these skills have been passed down through generations. Its nice to see people who have these unknown talents brought into the light.

Can’t really explain why, but I just like watching this guy more than any other reality tv type. I think I like the way he talks, it just sounds nice to my California ear lol

I agree they should have their own show.

Wow, Banana liquer 🤩🙏💥 Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

I love there skill these guys are brilliant and passionate wow 😊

I can watch these guys cook and talk about cooking all day.

craig said " what the hell you mean that aint it" he thought about all that work he just did flash before his eyes 😂😂😂

I bet it sho taste great!!! Wish I had sum of it 2 try myself

Caramelizing the nuts adds something special to it, and I guarantee no one else is doing that when making the liquor!.. Now, also adding the Raw, Pure, Sugar Cane to it is just something special right there!! But there's FOUR (4x) Extra Steps that should have been done to make this batch a very very special one, no other like it, that no one else could have compared to!.. And that would be, 1.) Using older bananas for the flavor content. And I'm talkin bout Older BLACK banana, And NOT them new green or yellow ones! 2.) Adding a piece of pure natural Vanilla Bean to the whole batch! 3.) Toasting the nuts before cooking/caramelizing them. 4.) Adding some Brown Sugar to the bananas for that extra special flavor because it will always pair great when cooking with bananas and making Banana Nut Muffins or Bread/Banana nut Pancakes/Banana nut waffles/Or Banana nut anything, as long as it has Brown Sugar in it with the bananas ontop of the regular sugar that helps bring out all the flavors in the first place, the Brown Sugar adds to the perfect concoction to add that other missing flavor that would definitely need to be added, nk joke if you made this (Like I have at home in the backyard) you'd understand when tasting the liquor that there are flavors missing and also some steps to create better flavors by doing certain things to other flavors that make other flavors even better...

"Man thats a lot of bananas man" that shit made me laugh out loud

"I thought this was bananas, but this is just plain nuts" lmfao 🤣 these dudes are cool af

they need there own show

These guys make you want to start businesses with them. Cant figure out why they aren't on the top of the totem pole. This is my first episode though.

drinks moonshine then says, and it aint even that strong had me rollin xD

Dawm i was mesmerized by his professinalism and break down of each step...saying they could have stopped long ago...i believed him.

We did this with strawberries and it was delicious!!!!!!!!

I wanna try this.

I can't lie if y'all don't have a KZfaq channel of your own I say go for it tbh. I'm sure people would love it.

I really appreciate someone who is very knowledgeable and passionate about what they are doing.

That sure looks like a nice liquor

no joke you could probably go commercial with this one. just saying.

These gents are always next level. Wish them every success. 👍❤️🙏

Wow this is insane!!! My brother has been doing this as a very small side hustle some I was a little girl & he still does it til this day in his backyard here in Louisiana! Crazy to see other folks going viral for something he's done for decades & does it far more interesting than this! He has Candy apple shine, Moonpie shine, Caramel apple shine, Banana Foster shine, Peach Shine & few more! I know without a doubt if he were to make more product & put his product out there to the public his business would absolutely blow up!!! I have a very high tolerance to alcohol can usually drink an entire thing of crown and not buzzed but you take 2 shots of my brothers Moonshine & I promise that's all you'll need! His shine is the absolute BEST drunk ive ever had in life & the best part... There is NO DRUNK SICKNESS afterwards!!! He sells it's to friend and family for $55 for a large mason jar & it's worth every cent! These guys were legit & did damn good... But as we all know .. EVERYTHING IN LOUISIANA IS THE BEST! Theres no place in the world like it! ‼️🤞

Hardly any vanilla...300 lbs banana and 1 bean. Edit: added before fully viewed
