And I would try and corner the market on 55 gallon barrels and mason jars.
John - no prohibition movement here, liquor is just too socially entrenched and the industry too profitable. I must say I had my cynical glasses on when I posed the question.john250":33tfrmet said:Allison, I'm curious why you ask the question? Is there a prohibition movement bubbling in your area?
The USA will never try alcohol prohibition again. Prohibition caused more problems than it solved.

heck up here in the hills I was probably 12 or 13 before I realized corn could be used for anything but making shine :cowboy:curtis":3jmes6go said:upfrombottom":3jmes6go said:curtis":3jmes6go said:If its banned I'll start making copper worms and selling them. i think i know where there's a couple right now. :lol: :lol:

These guys weren't making homebrew. Just buying beer, liquor and wine and selling it in dry areas and to folks who were underage.backhoeboogie":29r5yplo said:TexasBred":29r5yplo said:A couple of years ago a newspaper over in East Texas ran a special for about an entire week on "Bootlegging" in the county.

It seems the old bootleggers have died off now. I never thought I would say this, but you cannot find shine in "Shine City" anymore. The old timers craving a sip are having to import it from Johnson County and it costs a lot of nickels. You're lucky if you can get a gallon for less than $100. There is an opportunity for someone there.

To make a long story short MP's came and got me out of jail and took me back to the CO who handed me orders for Korea.
