The Gopher:
Anyone can leagally make and sell 'shine...you just gotta pay up to uncle sam.
I may or may not dabble in the art and i do mean art, at lest that's what i've heard, ;)
There are a few really good forums, not unlike PA, totally devoted to it, and I may or may not be a member of those forums as well ;)
A basic pot still can yield a lower alcohol content (~80 proof) product that can taste exceptionally good. if you want to get into the ultra high alcohol content product (pure alcohol) you need a reflux still.
The Gopher:
peaches are used mostly for flavor but will also add sugar content, which influences the acohol centent. different grains/sugars will yeild different products.
- sour mash whiskey is made with corn
- tequila is made with Agave
- rum is made with molassas ( i believe)
- Mead is made with honey
and everything and anything in between.
El Destructo:
I once made about three bLooms of Maple Whiskey...at least that's what it turned into....when the caps started blowing off the Syrup I made.... in my Moms Pantry....man you want to talk about a sticky mess.... >:D
