this guy is brilliant, no BS and explains it straight up... and being surprised by eBay deliveries, love it.

"sometimes I get drunk as shit and buy stuff off eBay and don't remember and get surprised when it shows up". This man internets!

"This is what I do. Other people can can do whatever the fuck they want." Always has been the best advice.

Idk why this is on my recommended but the fact that he went straight into it, made me like his personality.

Man this is how KZfaq used to be back before it became all about money.

I’ve spent so much time watching videos on moonshine and I’d have to say that this guy tells you what you want to know along with what you need and not all the extra crap. Great video

I like coming back and watching the older videos. It's how I started. Thanks again.

"If you know a guy named jimmy he might give you a deal" quality video.

Who else did KZfaq suggest this for?

If you know a guy named Jimmy he might be able to get you a good deal on the crack corn, and I bet he don’t care 😂

I have the the same still! I recommend airing out the product (replace jar lids with coffee filters) for 24-48 hours to let the volatile compounds evaporate before filtering - which like you I also do 3x. It makes a noticeable difference, Happy distilling!

Getting drunk and buying random stuff on the internet is exactly what led me to this video haha Thank you for the video, much respect from Australia

You have a talent for explaining things with clear and relevant detail. Great job!

I've never seen a nastier, dirtier, more profane liquor operation in my life! Love it!

"I'm not out here trying to make money off this shit, I just like to drink it." Luv this guy!

If this guy taught a college course I would have graduated. He makes it so very clear. Great job I finally understand the process. I can't wait till my stuff arrives.

Your comment about getting drunk and shopping on eBay had me in stitches lmao

Dudes got a voice and demeanor you can trust - and a nice batch of moonshine to top it off

i wanna party with this guy lol

I just hit the jackpot!! Makin' me some high grade hand sanitizer!

Sometimes I get drunk and order stuff on eBay lol

A guy that’s cool without putting effort or trying to be.

"You don't do this, nobody's gonna like your moonshine, specially you." - Perfect advice. This is awesome. Simple, yet unintuitive to those of us never done this before. Thinking I'll give this a go this spring.

Hands down this guy is the most awesome moonshiner on KZfaq.

I drunk ordered one time. Got two beautiful Russian mail ordered brides. Best day of my life. They can cook and don’t speak English.

i seriously want to hang out with this guy

I've moved to england and havent been in america for about 5 months and I miss people like this 😂😂😂

Good job on the video, I have a similar setup, with nice clear instructions. One recommendation I would make is that when you move from fermenting to distilling it would be best if you moved the thermometer from the lid to the vapor chamber (where the valve is just before the condenser). That would give you a more accurate reading of the vapor temp helping you keep the still running smooth.

I don't know you...but I can imagine being your neighbor and being really friendly toward one another's families.

Mamma always said, "never trust a skinny cook!". That has got to be some smooth shine!

Talk about ever clear, that second run was clear as a bell🔔. Ain’t nothing like good Moonshine!!

I really appreciate a down to earth kind of guy! thanks for the tips.

dude you're really making me spend $300 on all this great video time to make some moonshine boys!!! YEEYEE

You know your a hilbilly when you use a perfectly good computer as a table leg xD. Great video! Absolutely loved it, and I dont even drink haha....

Just about the only tutorial video ive seen on youtube without some monolouge at the beggining about his grandmothers recipie or some other trivial thing. Protect this man at all costs

Nice video PhilBilly. I like your stainless still setup! I didn't read through all the comments or watch any other videos.. so.. you probably know this tip.. if you add salt to your ice water it causes more ice to melt by Depressing the FREEZING point and NOT adding internal energy (or heat) making the ice "colder"! stay shine'n!

im from south dakota. a friend of mine went on a construction job down in this guys neck of the woods and brought a plastic milk jug of this stuff back home. i took 2 or 3 shots of this stuff and scoffed "this shit is like water!" 12 hours later i woke up in my mother in laws basement stark naked, my wife pissed and sleeping in another room and all of my clothes neatly folded underneath the dining room table... this stuff is not to be trifled with..

Wonder how many don't even understand his "Jimmy cracked corn" comment. I'm getting old.... and I don't care.

I like this guy. Zero bullshit. He's not even selling and I'm buying it!

Sweet video brother! Waving a hand from Scotland! 👋🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸

Probably one of the best tutorials out there. Great job. This dude is awesome.

This has to be the most american thing I have ever seen.

I bought 4 bags of sugar from dollar general a month ago and now this gets recommended to me I think it's a sign

I made a killer Bourbon using a gallon of non-vanilla corn syrup, 2 lbs of malted barley. Sugar. It made a great bourbon after having it with burnt oak chips for awhile. I did not carbon filter it. Everyone loved it.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge on making alcohol. It is greatly appreciated👍🏽

Now why did I just watch how to make Moonshine? Actually, better question, why did youtube recommend this to me? Lmao

Mate I’m in Australia & I make my own malted barley & corn shine but I didn’t have enough info about the sour mash. Great video & keep it up. I’ve been dumping the corn/barley after the first run but now I know to keep it make more. Cheers mate & thanks

And just like that thirty minutes gone. As soon as it starts my brain said “I like this mans delivery and I want to know this information, don’t click off!” Good shit.

Dad was born in tellico Tn. Heart of moonshine He’d stick his whole corn in creek until it sprouted.

The false bottom is originally for steaming rice but it makes a heck of a good way to keep the brew bag off the bottom. This cat has the right attitude, he really does not care how or what others do. He has found a method that works and sticks to it.

Your soounds really cool...well explained..i made this twice.. Now i will make 12-15litre.. Last time i make 5-6 litre

Learned to make “Copper kettle whisky” from an old Tennessean-He brought some back after a trip home. Wasn’t harsh at all, no lead solder in the still or condenser. Strong, oh yes, according to the rows of bubbles after shaking its was about 120 proof!

holy shit, great idea with brita water filters, never even thought that.

Looks like a lot of fun especially an hour after your 5th drink LOL..!

found this during my self isolation from all the way from the other side of the planet (Turkey), this looks like a challenge worth taking on . and hopefully in 2 weeks I'll have me tax free Moonshine cheaper then duty free.. yihaaaaaaaaaa

I have one one these stills. Other than the crappy silicone lid seal, it works great. There are those that will beat you to death verbally about the silicone seals and the brass petcocks. This cat tends to be a little crude, but his style is spot on for the task.

Chemistry is Amazing. How things separate when it condenses. I love it.

I’m with you man ! Same story. I bought about the same setup you have after a few. I just switched to a Keg set up for about $250 !l Love the video !!

this is so cool

Im from london uk an no longer drink alcohol but love the science behind moonshine brewing. Good video bro.

This man is the pinnacle of American ingenuity

Hey philbilly i really love you're videos keep making more please. Maybe more on flavor techniques ect. Ect.

Love it

Preciate ya' for taking the time to showin' us your way.

"These brew bags, mann, they're the shit."- Moonshine Guy

Great video man, simple and straight to the point. And just being yourself. Enjoyed it ! Will watch again.

Greatest video ever made the greatest line ever “ i’m telling you these brew bags are the shit man i’m telling you”

That fermenter/still in one is a slick setup. Very cool.

Been wanting to do this for a while. Love the set-up! I'm off to eBay to find it. Hope it's there. Great vid. Thanks for sharing!

Man I am so following you, this is how I like my info videos, well done friend...👍🏻

I made my 1st distillery in the 8th grade at Genesee school God-bless my science teacher who said I could do anything I wanted Hes passed away since then But Genesee school for dyslexia a Has helped a lot of students

There is a lot of concern about the legality's of making moonshine i was told by my states department of commerce liquor control division that as long as you brew small amounts for personal use only, that it is okay. Also if i decided to sell it i can pay a $100 dollar permit fee and get an A-3a permit to brew up to 10,000 gallons a year paying an extra $2.00 per every 50 gallon barrel brewed. This permit would be for distribution to licensed vendors. If you are worried look up your states department of commerce and give them a call. The only requirement for the distribution license is to have running water in a commercial building.

This video was fun to watch. I may not ever get to the point of making my own (I'm very impatient), but this video was awesome!!

Well I'm a native from northern ontario,, I followed ur sweetcorn mash recipe,, first time making shine,, I bought a pressure cooker, and 3/4 in copper,, waiting for it to finish fermenting.. wish me luck,,, aha

I like your no bullshit approach.

That's the best way to Surprise yourself!

I been wanting to try something like this, thanks for sharing your experience.

Jimmy cracked corn! Your first KZfaq televised joke!

I've seen this video a couple times before and just watched again because I like how he KZfaqs.

I love it! Down to earth and real, fuck being professional. Tell it like it is...

that cumputer is a great stand for the catch jar

I can't help but to admire this guy. Zero bullshit.

"Sometimes i get drunk and order shit off of eBay and then I forget." Can't tell you how hard I relate to that LOL

"Gonna get 2 more pounds..." *holds up 3 fingers*

dude built a spaceship out of nowhere what did i miss

I like to wake up on a Monday morning and check ebay to see what I ordered over the weekend.

Damn that was a great Video. I’m a 42 Year Carpenter and I’m alway trying to show my Kids and Employees alike the old way we did we did our Job. Hands saws Plumb Bobs Chalk lines Instead of Lasers and Cordless saws Air power Nailers. I’ve been Sober now 12 Years but this To me is just another old Trade not done any more. So I’m going to try a Batch thanks to you, not for me but for all my Friends. I’m thinking I’m gonna be popular with the Neighbours. Loved your Video

When cooking advice is - "if you know a guy named jimmy" - yep, we're in moonshine country.

This is the best video!! People are like do put you hand in that im like fxxk that im bout to boil this!

The ending alone was worth the price of admission.

Nothing else like that good ole Moon shine 😀👍

Great video. You did good. I need some friends like you who are laid back and just making some fun.

Outstanding Phil, many thanks for the tutorial. Been wanting to make this for some time. I'm in the mid west and that shit sells for $30 a quart here and it's been cut to 80 proof. Still tastes delicious. Again, thanks for the great video.

My man... I actually feel like I can go and make moonshine now. Thank you very much. I really think I'm gonna try this.

That's one of the best distilling tutorials I've ever watched. Appreciate ya brother! So I'm fixin to do my first run ever, and just wanted to know what part that the barley plays. Is it for the flavor, a chemical component, what? Thanks again

you definitely look like a guy who makes moonshine

I made some using corn flakes. I went to a discount store and bought 8- 18 oz boxes for $1.35. When you stew it with the 2 pounds of malted barley it completely dissolves because it is already gelitenized.

this is your second video i watched tonight. cant believe it took this long for youtube algorithm to have this pop up on my recommended videos. im drunk right now thinking about making a surprise still purchase lol. keep making good entertaining videos

Thanks for being authentic

What is the name of that still? Looks like one I need!
