1
00:00:06,767 --> 00:00:09,767
-Smells like yeast.
-It is yeast from Brazil.
2
00:00:09,767 --> 00:00:12,200
[narrator]
This time on Moonshiners...
3
00:00:12,266 --> 00:00:14,900
They make their liquor
in less than 16 hours
with that.
4
00:00:15,767 --> 00:00:17,166
[Henry] Easy, Josh, easy.
5
00:00:17,166 --> 00:00:19,166
[Josh] If this works
like I hope it's going to,
6
00:00:19,166 --> 00:00:20,767
this is gonna be
a game changer.
7
00:00:20,767 --> 00:00:23,500
-Whoa.
-Looks like
dinosaur... [bleep]
8
00:00:23,567 --> 00:00:26,000
[Joe] If we can sell
this whole lot of moonshine
9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,367
-how happy
do you think he's gonna be?
-If we don't get caught.
10
00:00:28,367 --> 00:00:30,000
-Dude.
-[Joe] Pittsburgh, here we go.
11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,367
-Dude.
-[Joe] Pittsburgh, here we go.
12
00:00:31,367 --> 00:00:32,667
[Joe]
We got to take this shine
13
00:00:32,667 --> 00:00:35,867
to one of the best
cultural hubs,
the barbershop.
14
00:00:37,100 --> 00:00:38,967
-It's strong... [bleep]
-[all laughing]
15
00:00:38,967 --> 00:00:41,400
[Mike] Ice friggin' damn cold.
16
00:00:41,467 --> 00:00:44,467
We can't afford
not to keep making liquor
all winter long
17
00:00:44,467 --> 00:00:45,667
thanks to Richard and Craig.
18
00:00:45,667 --> 00:00:47,000
Holy... [bleep]
19
00:00:47,066 --> 00:00:49,300
There's Richard and Craig
right there, Jerry.
20
00:00:49,367 --> 00:00:52,667
I see their truck.
They got a damn trailer
full of mash barrels.
21
00:00:54,367 --> 00:00:57,000
[man] This is how
we make the moonshine.
22
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,367
[Josh] It's a long way up here
to check a mailbox.
23
00:01:04,367 --> 00:01:07,166
Supposed to be having
a package from Brazil.
24
00:01:07,166 --> 00:01:08,400
It should have
been here already.
25
00:01:09,266 --> 00:01:10,900
Looks like we got a package.
26
00:01:12,567 --> 00:01:13,867
I was recently down in Brazil
27
00:01:13,867 --> 00:01:15,066
on a mission to find out about
28
00:01:15,066 --> 00:01:17,166
making some
coffee-infused moonshine,
29
00:01:17,166 --> 00:01:20,000
but while I was down there
I learned so much more.
30
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,066
I've been really excited
to get this package
right here,
31
00:01:23,066 --> 00:01:25,000
if this is what I think it is,
and it is.
32
00:01:25,567 --> 00:01:27,300
Hell yeah, look there.
33
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,000
This is a jar
of some frickin' goodness
right here.
34
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,767
This is a jar
of some frickin' goodness
right here.
35
00:01:31,767 --> 00:01:34,300
God, I can't wait
to show Henry this.
36
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,100
This package
I've been waiting on
from South America
37
00:01:42,166 --> 00:01:45,367
is gonna totally
change the way we make liquor
here in Appalachia.
38
00:01:45,367 --> 00:01:46,300
Hey, hey.
39
00:01:47,467 --> 00:01:48,433
What's happening?
40
00:01:48,467 --> 00:01:50,166
-What's up, Joshua?
-Finally showed up then.
41
00:01:50,166 --> 00:01:52,567
Man, have I got
a surprise for you.
42
00:01:52,567 --> 00:01:54,400
Christmas present
has been running
a little late here.
43
00:01:54,467 --> 00:01:55,667
What we got? Pizza?
44
00:01:55,667 --> 00:01:58,467
It looks like
a Brazilian return address
to me.
45
00:01:58,467 --> 00:02:00,000
I've been waiting on this
for a month, man.
It's a game changer.
46
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,667
I've been waiting on this
for a month, man.
It's a game changer.
47
00:02:01,667 --> 00:02:03,300
[speaking other language]
What is that?
48
00:02:03,367 --> 00:02:05,266
We got a milkshake
mixed up or what?
49
00:02:05,266 --> 00:02:07,166
Tell you what,
it smells like yeast.
50
00:02:07,166 --> 00:02:10,367
That is a strain
of very, very special
wild yeast
51
00:02:10,367 --> 00:02:12,567
from my buddy, Sabola,
down in dang Brazil
52
00:02:12,567 --> 00:02:13,867
that they make
out of sugarcane.
53
00:02:13,867 --> 00:02:15,367
[exhales] Ooh-ee.
54
00:02:15,367 --> 00:02:18,100
-Smell good, don't it?
-Yeah, it got a strong smell.
55
00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:19,166
What we supposed
to do with this?
56
00:02:19,166 --> 00:02:20,367
[Josh] They make their liquor
57
00:02:20,367 --> 00:02:22,066
in less than 16 hours
with that,
58
00:02:22,066 --> 00:02:23,266
and that's what they use.
59
00:02:23,266 --> 00:02:25,166
They heat the sugarcane juice
60
00:02:25,166 --> 00:02:27,400
to convert it from sugar
into alcohol.
61
00:02:27,467 --> 00:02:28,900
-[Kenny] Damn.
-16 hours.
62
00:02:28,967 --> 00:02:30,000
-You seen it do that to it?
-I did it with 'em.
63
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,100
-You seen it do that to it?
-I did it with 'em.
64
00:02:31,166 --> 00:02:37,567
We got cane-cut,
mash-made, mash-ready,
mash-cooked-off alcohol
65
00:02:37,567 --> 00:02:38,767
in two damn days.
66
00:02:38,767 --> 00:02:39,700
That's amazing.
67
00:02:42,266 --> 00:02:43,166
Oh, my God.
68
00:02:43,166 --> 00:02:44,867
You could make
seven runs a week.
69
00:02:44,867 --> 00:02:45,867
Think about it.
70
00:02:45,867 --> 00:02:47,166
[Josh]
Here in the United States,
71
00:02:47,166 --> 00:02:50,667
it's unheard of for alcohol
to work off that fast.
72
00:02:50,667 --> 00:02:52,567
And they use
that same yeast...
73
00:02:52,567 --> 00:02:54,367
-for six months.
-...over and over?
74
00:02:54,367 --> 00:02:55,400
Six months.
75
00:02:55,467 --> 00:02:56,967
[Kenny] Right there
would save a lot of money.
76
00:02:56,967 --> 00:02:58,767
It's gonna cut out on the time
77
00:02:58,767 --> 00:03:00,000
and it's gonna
turn up the profits.
78
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,567
and it's gonna
turn up the profits.
79
00:03:00,567 --> 00:03:02,066
All right, so how
we gonna get sugarcane?
80
00:03:02,066 --> 00:03:03,567
We don't have sugarcane
growing around here.
81
00:03:03,567 --> 00:03:05,900
But one thing
that does grow around here
is sorghum.
82
00:03:05,967 --> 00:03:07,400
Is sorghum.
We've seen it in the fields.
83
00:03:07,467 --> 00:03:10,100
Back in the day, man,
that's what pioneers used
for sweetener.
84
00:03:10,166 --> 00:03:12,700
They didn't have
the sugarcane here,
they didn't have it available.
85
00:03:12,767 --> 00:03:16,467
-When they was out of sugar
what are they gonna do?
-Yeah, use whatever they got.
86
00:03:16,467 --> 00:03:18,967
I wanna test this out
on sorghum molasses
87
00:03:18,967 --> 00:03:22,567
just to see if it'll work off
and how fast it works off.
88
00:03:22,567 --> 00:03:24,667
[narrator]
Sorghum is a type of grass
89
00:03:24,667 --> 00:03:27,467
that contains
high levels of sugar.
90
00:03:27,467 --> 00:03:30,000
Originating in Africa,
it was introduced to America
by Benjamin Franklin
91
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,367
Originating in Africa,
it was introduced to America
by Benjamin Franklin
92
00:03:33,367 --> 00:03:37,266
who saw its potential
for broom making
and roof thatch.
93
00:03:37,266 --> 00:03:41,767
Farmers quickly discovered
it was an alternative source
of sugar,
94
00:03:41,767 --> 00:03:46,066
both cheaper
and easier to grow
than sugarcane.
95
00:03:46,066 --> 00:03:49,867
Liquor makers
turned to sorghum
during the Civil War
96
00:03:49,867 --> 00:03:53,867
when Union blockades
on southern ports
prevented goods,
97
00:03:53,867 --> 00:03:57,567
including
Louisiana-grown sugar,
from leaving the docks.
98
00:03:58,367 --> 00:03:59,800
During prohibition,
99
00:03:59,867 --> 00:04:00,000
sorghum once again
became the choice
for moonshiners
100
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,667
sorghum once again
became the choice
for moonshiners
101
00:04:03,667 --> 00:04:08,767
who knew government revenuers
were keeping close tabs
on sugar sales.
102
00:04:08,767 --> 00:04:10,300
Bolstered by the fact
103
00:04:10,367 --> 00:04:14,200
that it's an abundant
and environmentally friendly
crop,
104
00:04:14,266 --> 00:04:19,166
rums and whiskeys
made from sorghum
are gaining in popularity.
105
00:04:19,166 --> 00:04:21,200
If it works
it'll be a game changer.
106
00:04:21,266 --> 00:04:22,867
I think
it's well worth trying.
107
00:04:22,867 --> 00:04:24,667
-Okay.
-I really thought you was
gonna talk [bleep]
108
00:04:24,667 --> 00:04:25,600
when I come in here
109
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:26,767
because every time
I come up with something
110
00:04:26,767 --> 00:04:28,867
you're like,
"Son, if it ain't broke
don't fix it."
111
00:04:28,867 --> 00:04:30,000
The [bleep] talking will come
if it don't work...
112
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,100
The [bleep] talking will come
if it don't work...
113
00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:33,467
-Yeah, that's right.
-...and how it taste.
114
00:04:33,467 --> 00:04:35,166
-Well, how, I mean,
we don't know if... I...
-[chuckles softly]
115
00:04:35,166 --> 00:04:38,200
We're not so sure
the sorghum molasses
is gonna work
116
00:04:38,266 --> 00:04:41,467
but if it does
it's gonna be
a life-changing thing,
117
00:04:41,467 --> 00:04:42,900
so it's worth a shot.
118
00:04:42,967 --> 00:04:45,266
-Let's mash it in.
-I've been waiting
to do this for a while.
119
00:04:45,266 --> 00:04:47,166
Well, you know
it's gonna fall on you
if it don't work.
120
00:04:47,166 --> 00:04:48,533
[Josh] It always does.
121
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,867
[Richard] Why that stupid ass
didn't tell his wife
something?
122
00:04:59,867 --> 00:05:00,000
He would have made
some good money here.
123
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,266
He would have made
some good money here.
124
00:05:01,266 --> 00:05:03,367
All he had to do was be honest
and tell his damn wife,
125
00:05:03,367 --> 00:05:06,000
"Hey, I got some guys
in the garage.
We don't use it."
126
00:05:06,066 --> 00:05:08,266
[Craig]
Nothing is ever that easy.
127
00:05:08,266 --> 00:05:10,800
[narrator] In Haywood County,
North Carolina,
128
00:05:10,867 --> 00:05:14,066
after getting kicked out
of a heated garage,
129
00:05:14,066 --> 00:05:17,867
Richard and Craig
are scrambling to find
a place warm enough
130
00:05:17,867 --> 00:05:21,000
for their 1,000 gallons
of mash to ferment.
131
00:05:21,066 --> 00:05:22,500
[Richard]
We got a farmer friend
named Jeremy.
132
00:05:22,567 --> 00:05:23,667
This is
a really good customer.
133
00:05:23,667 --> 00:05:26,266
He loves our liquor
and he's got a big farm.
134
00:05:26,266 --> 00:05:27,467
He's got a lot of land,
135
00:05:27,467 --> 00:05:29,000
and it might not be
a big deal to Jeremy
136
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,000
to just store
these barrels for us
137
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:30,800
to just store
these barrels for us
138
00:05:30,867 --> 00:05:32,500
somewhere around here
for a few days.
139
00:05:32,567 --> 00:05:33,867
How's it going, man?
140
00:05:33,867 --> 00:05:34,867
Good to see y'all again.
141
00:05:34,867 --> 00:05:36,166
-You been all right?
-Oh, yes, sir.
142
00:05:36,166 --> 00:05:38,300
I've been better
since I got that shine
from you.
143
00:05:38,367 --> 00:05:40,600
-What can I do for y'all?
-Well...
144
00:05:40,667 --> 00:05:42,567
...we got to find somewhere
to stash some mash.
145
00:05:43,166 --> 00:05:45,266
[inhales] Phew.
146
00:05:45,266 --> 00:05:46,667
Hopefully
I can help y'all out.
147
00:05:46,667 --> 00:05:48,166
I mean, I'm not too sure.
I mean...
148
00:05:48,166 --> 00:05:50,266
-Let me show you
what we got, man.
-All right.
149
00:05:50,266 --> 00:05:52,066
[Richard] Yeah, I mean,
it's really cold out here
right now.
150
00:05:52,066 --> 00:05:56,266
Each minute that passes by
it gets this mash
colder and colder,
151
00:05:56,266 --> 00:05:58,166
and, I mean,
it might just stall out.
152
00:05:58,166 --> 00:06:00,000
[Craig]
1,000 gallons, 20 barrels.
153
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:00,100
[Craig]
1,000 gallons, 20 barrels.
154
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:02,600
-We have six of 'em
on the trailer right now.
-Mmm-hmm.
155
00:06:02,667 --> 00:06:06,667
-We have another 14 more.
-Oh, yeah, that's a lot.
156
00:06:06,667 --> 00:06:09,200
[Richard] We need about
three or four more days
on this right here.
157
00:06:09,266 --> 00:06:10,867
Jeremy's our only option
right now.
158
00:06:10,867 --> 00:06:12,467
There's no plan B in this one.
159
00:06:12,467 --> 00:06:15,066
[Richard] After this works off
we'll be out of ya hair.
160
00:06:15,066 --> 00:06:16,567
Whatever you want
to charge us for that,
161
00:06:16,567 --> 00:06:19,266
I mean, you got three cases
from us the last time, right?
162
00:06:19,266 --> 00:06:21,100
How about we double it
and make it six?
163
00:06:21,166 --> 00:06:23,667
I'm sure
we could work that out.
Six sounds like a good deal.
164
00:06:23,667 --> 00:06:24,667
-Thank you, my man.
-Yes, sir.
165
00:06:24,667 --> 00:06:25,867
-Thank you.
-Absolutely.
166
00:06:25,867 --> 00:06:27,000
-All right.
-Absolutely.
167
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,900
Well, I guess, yeah,
if you want to,
168
00:06:28,967 --> 00:06:30,000
we can walk on down
and check out the barn
I was thinking about.
169
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,467
we can walk on down
and check out the barn
I was thinking about.
170
00:06:32,467 --> 00:06:35,367
[Richard] Six cases of shine
is a really, really small
price to pay.
171
00:06:35,367 --> 00:06:37,000
That's pennies on the dollar.
172
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,066
All right,
let's get these unloaded.
173
00:06:40,066 --> 00:06:41,700
[Richard] So, we're gonna make
a moonshine bunker.
174
00:06:41,767 --> 00:06:43,900
Gonna be insulated
from the bottom to the top.
175
00:06:43,967 --> 00:06:45,867
-All right.
-Big monster.
176
00:06:45,867 --> 00:06:46,867
Let me tell ya.
177
00:06:46,867 --> 00:06:48,000
[Craig] After we finish,
178
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,467
all me and Richard have to do
179
00:06:49,467 --> 00:06:53,000
is get the rest of
our 20 barrels here,
get 'em in place,
180
00:06:53,066 --> 00:06:54,767
and finish
our fermentation process.
181
00:06:54,767 --> 00:06:56,800
Once I get all those hay bales
packed in there
182
00:06:56,867 --> 00:06:59,367
it'll be a nice
little cozy spot for it.
183
00:06:59,367 --> 00:07:00,000
I didn't think
I was gonna have
to work this hard today.
184
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,567
I didn't think
I was gonna have
to work this hard today.
185
00:07:01,567 --> 00:07:03,266
[Jeremy] Me, either.
[sighs wearily]
186
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,367
[Joe] Oh, here they come.
187
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,266
May the power of the mash
compel you.
188
00:07:19,266 --> 00:07:22,567
-Invaded me
would be more like it.
-[laughs]
189
00:07:22,567 --> 00:07:24,667
You know, usually,
when winter starts setting in
190
00:07:24,667 --> 00:07:27,567
we start closing up the shop,
buttoning everything up...
191
00:07:27,567 --> 00:07:29,367
-There we go. You got it?
-Yes, sir.
192
00:07:29,367 --> 00:07:30,000
[Digger] But this triple
malted grain recipe,
193
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,266
[Digger] But this triple
malted grain recipe,
194
00:07:32,266 --> 00:07:34,467
I want to get
at least three or four
more runs in
195
00:07:34,467 --> 00:07:36,800
before we close up shop
for the season,
196
00:07:36,867 --> 00:07:39,700
and I brought Joe Jackson
into the mix to help us out.
197
00:07:39,767 --> 00:07:42,567
-[Joe] Whoa.
-You gonna
take a bath in that?
198
00:07:42,567 --> 00:07:45,467
-Looks like
dinosaur... [bleep]
-[laughs]
199
00:07:45,467 --> 00:07:48,266
If we can stand making liquor
all winter long,
200
00:07:48,266 --> 00:07:53,300
I mean, we can really be
in dandy shape come spring.
201
00:07:53,367 --> 00:07:56,467
All right, guys,
I'll take my jitney wagon
and go to the top.
202
00:07:56,467 --> 00:07:58,900
Oh, yeah, you go ahead
and just, you know,
203
00:07:58,967 --> 00:08:00,000
just take it easy, pops.
204
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:00,400
just take it easy, pops.
205
00:08:00,467 --> 00:08:02,400
-I'm trying to.
-[Joe laughs]
206
00:08:02,467 --> 00:08:05,467
-Don't threaten me
with a lot of fun.
-[Joe chuckles]
207
00:08:05,467 --> 00:08:06,667
[Digger] All right, off I go.
208
00:08:07,567 --> 00:08:09,400
I just built
a new metal building.
209
00:08:09,467 --> 00:08:11,200
We've got these three stills.
210
00:08:11,266 --> 00:08:13,266
We've got a three barrel,
211
00:08:13,266 --> 00:08:16,066
a six barrel,
and a one barrel.
212
00:08:16,066 --> 00:08:19,266
-Don't get him over anything
he can trip on.
-You got it.
213
00:08:19,266 --> 00:08:22,867
Get 'em all inside,
get 'em setup,
and get 'em oriented,
214
00:08:22,867 --> 00:08:24,900
and get 'em
as level as possible,
215
00:08:24,967 --> 00:08:27,100
and then get ready
to start building some mash.
216
00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:29,867
One thing we're desperately
gonna have to have is light.
217
00:08:31,367 --> 00:08:33,767
[Digger] Oh,
Beaz already tore
the tailgate up.
218
00:08:33,767 --> 00:08:35,500
That's gonna come out
of your pay, Beaz.
219
00:08:35,567 --> 00:08:36,667
[Joe laughs]
220
00:08:36,667 --> 00:08:37,867
[Digger] You know,
as it stands right now,
221
00:08:37,867 --> 00:08:40,400
this new garage here
will keep us safe and warm,
222
00:08:40,467 --> 00:08:42,700
it'll keep the mash
a-workin' round the clock.
223
00:08:42,767 --> 00:08:45,100
It won't cool off,
we won't have to worry
about heating it up,
224
00:08:45,166 --> 00:08:46,867
we'll control the temperature
in there.
225
00:08:46,867 --> 00:08:48,667
But the best part
about this garage,
226
00:08:48,667 --> 00:08:52,166
I'm several counties away
from Detective
David Robertson,
227
00:08:52,166 --> 00:08:55,100
so I don't have to worry
about any surprise visits
from him.
228
00:08:55,166 --> 00:08:57,100
Well, men,
that just about got it.
229
00:08:57,100 --> 00:08:58,533
-[groans]
-Good, good.
230
00:08:58,533 --> 00:09:00,000
-We got a little bit
more stuff to do, but...
-I might have to have...
231
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:00,667
-We got a little bit
more stuff to do, but...
-I might have to have...
232
00:09:00,667 --> 00:09:02,667
-...somebody
fiddle with the old...
-Lay down there...
233
00:09:02,667 --> 00:09:04,166
-...I'll walk on it.
-[laughs]
234
00:09:04,166 --> 00:09:07,500
-[Beaz]
That was a ton of work.
-[Digger] Just a tiny bit.
235
00:09:07,567 --> 00:09:10,200
[Digger] So, that being said,
get this mashed in.
236
00:09:10,266 --> 00:09:12,266
-I'm fixin' to take
a little road trip...
-Okay.
237
00:09:12,266 --> 00:09:16,000
...so that means you and you
are in charge of this run.
238
00:09:16,066 --> 00:09:17,600
Mark and I have got, kind of,
239
00:09:17,667 --> 00:09:20,867
what we're dubbing
a top secret operation
that we need to get underway,
240
00:09:20,867 --> 00:09:24,767
but Joe and Beaz,
they are more than able,
241
00:09:24,767 --> 00:09:26,200
and I'm gonna
leave them with it.
242
00:09:26,266 --> 00:09:28,367
-We'll do it by the book.
-By the book, brother.
243
00:09:28,367 --> 00:09:30,000
I wouldn't expect
anything otherwise.
244
00:09:30,066 --> 00:09:30,800
-All right.
-Heck yeah.
245
00:09:41,567 --> 00:09:43,166
I got us fixed up, Big Dog.
246
00:09:43,166 --> 00:09:45,166
-You got the sorghum?
-You got it, buddy.
247
00:09:45,166 --> 00:09:48,400
[Josh]
With Sabola's wild yeast
and sugarcane molasses,
248
00:09:48,467 --> 00:09:51,367
down in Brazil
it only took 16 hours
for the mash to work off.
249
00:09:51,367 --> 00:09:53,967
-Let's keep on going here.
-It's heavy, man.
250
00:09:53,967 --> 00:09:57,700
We really don't have
an abundance of sugarcane
here in frickin' Virginia,
251
00:09:57,767 --> 00:10:00,000
but one thing
we do have an abundance of
is sorghum.
252
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,066
but one thing
we do have an abundance of
is sorghum.
253
00:10:02,066 --> 00:10:06,166
This sorghum molasses,
it's over 50% sugar content.
254
00:10:06,166 --> 00:10:08,266
I just hope it works
half as good here.
255
00:10:11,700 --> 00:10:13,767
-That's on the jar
you got sent to us.
-[Josh] Yeah.
256
00:10:13,767 --> 00:10:15,500
[Josh] We got one shot at it.
257
00:10:15,567 --> 00:10:16,867
Don't want to kill it,
for sure.
258
00:10:16,867 --> 00:10:18,700
I want to try
to keep some of it
and keep it alive,
259
00:10:18,767 --> 00:10:20,767
so when we're done with this
we still got some.
260
00:10:20,767 --> 00:10:23,066
It would be a big time
money saving damn deal
261
00:10:23,066 --> 00:10:24,667
-right there.
-Yeah, I like that idea.
262
00:10:24,667 --> 00:10:27,000
The cool thing about yeast
is it's alive.
263
00:10:27,066 --> 00:10:28,567
All you got to do
is keep feeding it.
264
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,000
If this works out,
the last thing I want to do
is let something happen
265
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,900
If this works out,
the last thing I want to do
is let something happen
266
00:10:31,967 --> 00:10:33,600
to this precious strain
of yeast that I have.
267
00:10:33,667 --> 00:10:35,266
All right, Hen-ro,
268
00:10:35,266 --> 00:10:37,266
how we gonna do this
without getting sticky
269
00:10:37,266 --> 00:10:38,867
-everywhere?
-Carefully.
270
00:10:38,867 --> 00:10:41,867
The sorghum molasses
is way thicker than
the sugarcane juice
271
00:10:41,867 --> 00:10:43,467
that we were using in Brazil.
272
00:10:43,467 --> 00:10:45,800
We're gonna have to heat it up
to be able to break it down.
273
00:10:45,867 --> 00:10:48,000
Whoa, whoa,
let's go half on the time.
Hold it.
274
00:10:48,066 --> 00:10:49,567
[bleep] Looks like motor oil.
275
00:10:49,567 --> 00:10:50,867
-It does, don't it?
-Hell yeah.
276
00:10:50,867 --> 00:10:54,100
I'm telling you what,
that smells like
rum, baby, rum.
277
00:10:54,100 --> 00:10:56,500
I'm hoping this works.
You ready to dump her?
278
00:10:59,967 --> 00:11:00,000
Let the liquid go...
Easy, Josh, easy.
279
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Let the liquid go...
Easy, Josh, easy.
280
00:11:04,467 --> 00:11:06,967
Oh, yeah, it's all good.
That warm water did it.
281
00:11:06,967 --> 00:11:10,166
Man, that's gonna make
some excellent whiskey.
282
00:11:10,166 --> 00:11:11,500
[Henry]
All right, I'm gonna go get
a bucket of water,
283
00:11:11,567 --> 00:11:13,567
and we'll put
some of this mash over in it,
284
00:11:13,567 --> 00:11:15,000
and then we'll throw
the yeast into it.
285
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,266
Hell yeah, that's good.
I want to save some
to culture.
286
00:11:17,266 --> 00:11:20,467
It'll kick off much quicker
if you get it started
in a smaller container.
287
00:11:20,467 --> 00:11:22,467
Let this get raging
and we'll pinch it,
288
00:11:22,467 --> 00:11:24,100
and we'll wait,
and let it work off.
289
00:11:24,100 --> 00:11:25,100
Let's see what happens.
290
00:11:25,166 --> 00:11:27,100
Now, we got to check
our sugar content.
291
00:11:27,166 --> 00:11:29,467
[Josh] Well,
we're at about 20%, Henry.
292
00:11:29,467 --> 00:11:30,000
-We need to get 17.
-Just add a little water
to it.
293
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,266
-We need to get 17.
-Just add a little water
to it.
294
00:11:33,567 --> 00:11:36,066
If you put too much sugar
in a mash barrel
295
00:11:36,066 --> 00:11:37,767
it actually kills off
your yeast.
296
00:11:37,767 --> 00:11:40,900
-That's it right there.
-A 17% sugar content.
297
00:11:40,967 --> 00:11:42,767
-That's right on
the money, son.
-That's perfect.
298
00:11:42,767 --> 00:11:45,166
-That's damn good.
Damn good job, Josh.
-Yeah, that's perfect.
299
00:11:45,166 --> 00:11:47,567
-The whole...
-Let's make a run here.
300
00:11:47,567 --> 00:11:49,266
Now we're just ready
to put the yeast in it...
301
00:11:49,266 --> 00:11:50,367
-...aren't we?
-[Josh] Yep, let's rip.
302
00:11:50,367 --> 00:11:52,000
This is a super yeast.
303
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,200
This stuff sure took off fast
in the bucket.
304
00:11:54,266 --> 00:11:57,000
[Josh] Man, I cannot believe
Sabola finally sent me
this yeast
305
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,133
all the way from Brazil.
306
00:11:58,166 --> 00:12:00,000
If this works in America
like it does in South America,
307
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:00,900
If this works in America
like it does in South America,
308
00:12:00,967 --> 00:12:02,400
we are gonna be in business.
309
00:12:02,467 --> 00:12:05,100
This is gonna be
a game changer
for our business, man,
310
00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:06,066
think about it.
311
00:12:06,066 --> 00:12:07,800
-It sounds like it's sizzling.
-It is.
312
00:12:07,867 --> 00:12:08,967
You can hear it?
313
00:12:08,967 --> 00:12:10,066
[Henry] You might be
on to something, son.
314
00:12:10,100 --> 00:12:11,600
[Josh] I can't wait
to see what happens here.
315
00:12:14,767 --> 00:12:16,467
[Jeremy] Oh, my God.
316
00:12:16,467 --> 00:12:18,166
You guys don't play around
do you?
317
00:12:18,166 --> 00:12:19,867
I was having a lazy day,
pretty much,
318
00:12:19,867 --> 00:12:22,000
until you guys called.
[laughs]
319
00:12:22,066 --> 00:12:24,100
-This ain't
no lazy day right now.
-No, it's not.
320
00:12:24,166 --> 00:12:25,867
[Richard] We got 20 barrels.
321
00:12:25,867 --> 00:12:29,166
This is a lot of mash,
so we're gonna make
a moonshine bunker.
322
00:12:29,166 --> 00:12:31,467
It's gonna be
totally surrounded
and covered with hay.
323
00:12:31,467 --> 00:12:33,367
This one
right in the front right here.
324
00:12:33,367 --> 00:12:36,100
Gonna be insulated
from the bottom to the top.
325
00:12:36,667 --> 00:12:37,967
These are heat lamps.
326
00:12:37,967 --> 00:12:39,867
Put 'em in a chicken coop,
it keeps chickens warm.
327
00:12:39,867 --> 00:12:41,767
It's gonna do
the same thing here.
328
00:12:41,767 --> 00:12:43,299
Heat lamps are used
from food to agriculture.
329
00:12:43,299 --> 00:12:44,100
Heat lamps are used
from food to agriculture.
330
00:12:44,166 --> 00:12:46,100
They're used
to keep pipes from freezing,
331
00:12:46,100 --> 00:12:47,867
they're used
to keep chickens warm.
332
00:12:47,867 --> 00:12:50,300
They're gonna be really good
for what we got going on here.
333
00:12:50,367 --> 00:12:53,100
Let there be light.
334
00:12:53,166 --> 00:12:55,667
[Richard]
And if we put a good barrier
around these barrels,
335
00:12:55,667 --> 00:12:58,100
and put a nice layer
of insulation over it...
336
00:12:58,100 --> 00:12:59,400
[Richard] That's perfect.
337
00:12:59,467 --> 00:13:00,734
It's gonna hold the heat in.
338
00:13:00,734 --> 00:13:02,467
The heat is not gonna have
anywhere to be able to go.
339
00:13:02,467 --> 00:13:04,100
Got a real barrier here, man.
340
00:13:04,166 --> 00:13:06,367
Now, we're gonna build, like,
a toothpick roof,
341
00:13:06,367 --> 00:13:08,667
except it's gonna be with
some heavy boards.
342
00:13:08,667 --> 00:13:10,700
We need to keep this mash
over 60 degrees.
343
00:13:10,767 --> 00:13:12,367
All this needs to go dormant.
344
00:13:12,367 --> 00:13:13,299
[Craig]
Let's see what we can do
in the way of putting a tarp.
345
00:13:13,299 --> 00:13:13,967
[Craig]
Let's see what we can do
in the way of putting a tarp.
346
00:13:15,266 --> 00:13:16,700
Put the final
insulation on it.
347
00:13:17,567 --> 00:13:19,000
We're gonna
lay our tarp across,
348
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,066
and we're gonna put some hay
on top of the tarp,
349
00:13:21,066 --> 00:13:24,100
and that should insulate
our mash barrels
350
00:13:24,166 --> 00:13:26,500
to the highest point
right there.
351
00:13:26,567 --> 00:13:28,767
Just evening up the edges.
352
00:13:28,767 --> 00:13:31,200
Make sure that back there
is sealed though.
353
00:13:31,266 --> 00:13:33,266
This is a damn good idea, man.
This should work.
354
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,800
It's definitely gonna work.
355
00:13:35,867 --> 00:13:38,367
That's like putting
a layer of insulation
on your house.
356
00:13:38,367 --> 00:13:39,767
Covering these mash barrels
with hay
357
00:13:39,767 --> 00:13:41,767
is like throwing a blanket
over the top of 'em.
358
00:13:41,767 --> 00:13:43,299
I want to make sure
that every single spot
is covered,
359
00:13:43,299 --> 00:13:43,800
I want to make sure
that every single spot
is covered,
360
00:13:43,867 --> 00:13:45,467
that there's no heat
leaking out of here.
361
00:13:45,467 --> 00:13:50,100
We want to insulate this thing
as good as we possibly can.
362
00:13:50,100 --> 00:13:54,166
-It just look like
a bunch of bales of hay.
-It does.
363
00:13:54,166 --> 00:13:56,000
Craig and I are just gonna
sit back for a few days,
364
00:13:56,066 --> 00:13:57,567
and we're gonna
cross our fingers.
365
00:13:57,567 --> 00:13:59,266
Hopefully when we come back
this mash will all
be worked off,
366
00:13:59,266 --> 00:14:00,600
and we can get
straight to running.
367
00:14:02,166 --> 00:14:05,266
♪ Come away this morning ♪
368
00:14:05,266 --> 00:14:07,100

369
00:14:09,367 --> 00:14:10,967
-[banging]
-[Beaz] Here, man,
let's take this off
370
00:14:10,967 --> 00:14:12,100
and get a whiff of it.
371
00:14:12,166 --> 00:14:13,299
Joe Jackson, Digger, and I
have mashed in 550 gallons
372
00:14:13,299 --> 00:14:18,567
Joe Jackson, Digger, and I
have mashed in 550 gallons
373
00:14:18,567 --> 00:14:22,467
of the triple grain
legacy liquor.
374
00:14:22,467 --> 00:14:24,667
-[chuckling] I can smell it
from over here.
-Ooh.
375
00:14:25,767 --> 00:14:28,467
That is definitely worked off.
376
00:14:28,467 --> 00:14:30,467
-Wow.
-That is good.
377
00:14:30,467 --> 00:14:32,767
[Beaz] Digger says
he's got stuff
to take care of,
378
00:14:32,767 --> 00:14:35,700
so, by default,
I am the foreman here
379
00:14:35,767 --> 00:14:36,967
-at the still site.
-[exhales]
380
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,400
-[Joe laughing] So good.
-Can you see my glasses
fog up?
381
00:14:39,467 --> 00:14:41,266
-[laughing]
Definitely worked off, man.
-Wow.
382
00:14:41,266 --> 00:14:43,299
We are ready to run.
We're firing this place up.
383
00:14:43,299 --> 00:14:44,567
We are ready to run.
We're firing this place up.
384
00:14:44,567 --> 00:14:46,800
Let's light up
this triple malt, Big Dog.
385
00:14:46,867 --> 00:14:48,367
Legacy lighting.
386
00:14:52,567 --> 00:14:55,567
Got fire, baby, we got fire.
387
00:14:55,567 --> 00:14:58,767
So, normally, I use
an all-electric element
388
00:14:58,767 --> 00:15:01,100
on the stills
that I work on at home.
389
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:02,667
You get that side,
I'll get this side.
390
00:15:02,667 --> 00:15:05,567
That's completely different
than what we're doing
here today.
391
00:15:05,567 --> 00:15:09,367
We've got these stills
that have gas cores
in the middle of 'em,
392
00:15:09,367 --> 00:15:12,367
so there's very little chance
of scorching that liquor.
393
00:15:12,367 --> 00:15:13,299
You got this one kept up?
394
00:15:13,299 --> 00:15:13,900
You got this one kept up?
395
00:15:13,900 --> 00:15:15,467
-[Beaz] This is
cooking pretty hard, this...
-Yeah, we got steam
396
00:15:15,467 --> 00:15:16,767
coming out of the twin.
397
00:15:16,767 --> 00:15:19,166
Let me get this
lined up for you here.
398
00:15:19,166 --> 00:15:21,200
[Joe] This is
a really big deal for me,
399
00:15:21,266 --> 00:15:24,000
and I feel like
getting it right
400
00:15:24,066 --> 00:15:27,667
is gonna be
of the utmost importance
to not only myself and Beaz
401
00:15:27,667 --> 00:15:29,200
but definitely to Digger.
402
00:15:29,967 --> 00:15:33,100
-Joe Jackson...
-Mr. Beaz.
403
00:15:33,166 --> 00:15:37,867
We have the potential
to make some huge cash
404
00:15:38,567 --> 00:15:40,500
if we work this thing right.
405
00:15:40,567 --> 00:15:43,299
Now, all we got to do
is figure out how we do it...
406
00:15:43,299 --> 00:15:43,867
Now, all we got to do
is figure out how we do it...
407
00:15:43,867 --> 00:15:46,266
-...where we sell it.
-Well...
408
00:15:46,266 --> 00:15:50,567
Nashville's been good for me,
but, man, I just did
a sale there,
409
00:15:50,567 --> 00:15:55,667
and I try not
to stick 'em real close
to back to back, you know?
410
00:15:55,667 --> 00:15:58,567
You know, I should probably
take this liquor home,
411
00:15:58,567 --> 00:16:02,300
and by "home" I mean
we should sell it
in Pittsburgh.
412
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:04,800
Pittsburgh.
413
00:16:04,867 --> 00:16:11,467
Joe hasn't sold
volumes of liquor on his own.
414
00:16:11,467 --> 00:16:13,299
He's a distiller
and I'm kind of nervous.
415
00:16:13,299 --> 00:16:15,100
He's a distiller
and I'm kind of nervous.
416
00:16:15,166 --> 00:16:18,066
If we can sell
this whole lot of moonshine
417
00:16:18,066 --> 00:16:20,667
in one untapped market place,
418
00:16:20,667 --> 00:16:23,967
for a higher dollar
than what we were asking for
in Nashville,
419
00:16:24,700 --> 00:16:26,000
before Digger gets back...
420
00:16:26,867 --> 00:16:29,266
And we hand him
that wad of cash,
421
00:16:29,266 --> 00:16:30,767
how happy do you think
he's gonna be?
422
00:16:30,767 --> 00:16:33,000
Yeah, if we don't get caught.
423
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,266
But isn't that the fun part?
424
00:16:35,266 --> 00:16:38,266
Pittsburgh can be
our next Nashville.
425
00:16:38,266 --> 00:16:40,400
-Cap the big sloppy?
-Yeah, let's do that.
426
00:16:40,467 --> 00:16:43,299
The only downside
is the fear and the anxiety
that comes with a new market.
427
00:16:43,299 --> 00:16:46,700
The only downside
is the fear and the anxiety
that comes with a new market.
428
00:16:46,767 --> 00:16:48,467
[Joe] I hear mine
thumping over here.
429
00:16:48,467 --> 00:16:51,200
[Beaz] The twin over there
will be online soon.
430
00:16:51,266 --> 00:16:53,100
-He's pretty close.
-We're about there.
431
00:16:53,100 --> 00:16:54,567
Thump post heating up, too?
432
00:16:55,667 --> 00:16:57,867
Half way up is all.
433
00:16:57,867 --> 00:17:00,600
-[Joe] Oh, snap!
-[Beaz] Yeah!
434
00:17:00,667 --> 00:17:02,500
-Woo!
-Oh, let me grab a jar.
435
00:17:04,266 --> 00:17:05,667
Whoa, baby, whoa.
436
00:17:05,667 --> 00:17:07,967
[Beaz] All right, now,
we're gonna have
to toss that one.
437
00:17:07,967 --> 00:17:10,266
-Go ahead and swap it out.
-I'll catch this.
438
00:17:10,266 --> 00:17:13,299
[Beaz]
We are full steam ahead.
We are running.
439
00:17:13,299 --> 00:17:14,166
[Beaz]
We are full steam ahead.
We are running.
440
00:17:14,166 --> 00:17:16,166
This one's gonna be
running soon over here,
brother.
441
00:17:16,166 --> 00:17:17,066
There we go.
442
00:17:18,266 --> 00:17:19,467
[Beaz] Well, I am pumped up.
443
00:17:19,467 --> 00:17:21,600
-Beaz,
you're running over here.
-Nice.
444
00:17:21,667 --> 00:17:22,667
[Joe] Big sloppy.
445
00:17:22,700 --> 00:17:26,600
[Beaz] It is absolutely
an amazing feat
446
00:17:26,667 --> 00:17:28,867
to have these three stills up.
447
00:17:28,867 --> 00:17:30,900
[Joe] You know,
you can mash in perfect,
448
00:17:30,967 --> 00:17:32,867
but you don't know
what a liquor taste like
449
00:17:32,867 --> 00:17:36,567
until you get into
the hearts of those cuts
coming off the still.
450
00:17:37,266 --> 00:17:38,800
[Joe] You smell that malt?
451
00:17:38,867 --> 00:17:42,600
-Yeah, big time.
-And there's, like,
that chocolate, like, finish?
452
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,367
Hold on, let me taste it.
453
00:17:48,567 --> 00:17:52,467
-Oh, man.
-And the rye
is on top of that.
454
00:17:52,467 --> 00:17:57,500
Every single time
I taste this [chuckling]
triple malt legacy liquor,
455
00:17:57,567 --> 00:17:59,367
it's almost like
the first time.
456
00:17:59,367 --> 00:18:04,000
I am re-amazed
at how good it tastes.
457
00:18:04,066 --> 00:18:07,066
-That was some hard work,
but... [chuckles]
-60 gallons.
458
00:18:07,066 --> 00:18:08,266
[laughing] I know, man.
459
00:18:08,266 --> 00:18:10,066
I say let's cap these up,
460
00:18:10,066 --> 00:18:12,367
and, Mr. Beaz,
are we doing this?
461
00:18:12,367 --> 00:18:13,299
Are we gonna go to Pittsburgh?
I'm ready, brother.
462
00:18:13,299 --> 00:18:14,567
Are we gonna go to Pittsburgh?
I'm ready, brother.
463
00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:18,266
-Let's do it, man.
-Let's do it.
464
00:18:18,266 --> 00:18:19,467
-Let's do it.
-Let's do it.
465
00:18:19,467 --> 00:18:22,200
In order to sell this liquor
in Pittsburgh,
466
00:18:22,266 --> 00:18:24,867
we're gonna have
to demand a higher price
467
00:18:24,867 --> 00:18:28,967
because we're driving across
several state lines,
468
00:18:28,967 --> 00:18:31,266
but I'm gonna give it a shot.
469
00:18:31,266 --> 00:18:32,867
I'm gonna trust Joe.
470
00:18:32,867 --> 00:18:35,166
Two, one. [groans]
471
00:18:44,367 --> 00:18:46,367
Well, Jerry,
I hope this damn thing's
working, man.
472
00:18:46,367 --> 00:18:48,166
I know, man,
it's been four or five days.
473
00:18:48,166 --> 00:18:50,266
We need to get this mash
and get ready to go.
474
00:18:50,266 --> 00:18:51,700
[Mike]
Me and Jerry created a system
475
00:18:51,767 --> 00:18:53,667
to keep our mash warm
through the winter
476
00:18:53,667 --> 00:18:55,567
while we're not
at the still site.
477
00:18:55,567 --> 00:18:58,367
[Jerry] Well, we know
this thing's making, like,
14, 16 volts of power.
478
00:18:58,367 --> 00:19:00,500
-Let's see what we got.
-Moment of truth.
479
00:19:03,166 --> 00:19:04,867
-There it is, baby. Woo!
-There.
480
00:19:04,867 --> 00:19:06,467
Look at the flame.
481
00:19:06,467 --> 00:19:09,467
[Mike] We can't afford
not to keep making liquor
all winter long
482
00:19:09,467 --> 00:19:11,200
thanks to Richard and Craig,
483
00:19:11,266 --> 00:19:13,100
so we need
to get the ball rolling
484
00:19:13,166 --> 00:19:13,299
to try to catch up,
485
00:19:13,299 --> 00:19:14,266
to try to catch up,
486
00:19:14,266 --> 00:19:15,667
and put some money
in our pocket.
487
00:19:15,667 --> 00:19:17,367
Jerry, I hear water.
488
00:19:17,367 --> 00:19:19,266
Tell you one thing,
it sounds good, don't it?
489
00:19:19,266 --> 00:19:21,166
Thank God
the wheels are spinning,
ain't it?
490
00:19:21,166 --> 00:19:23,100
-Plugging right along.
-Let's look at here.
491
00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:24,600
I'd say you couldn't ask
for no more than right there.
492
00:19:24,667 --> 00:19:27,767
I wonder just how many
gallons of water
that thing has dumped
493
00:19:27,767 --> 00:19:29,900
-since we've been gone?
-I don't know.
494
00:19:29,967 --> 00:19:31,266
Ooh!
495
00:19:31,266 --> 00:19:34,867
I'm fixin'
to check this mash out.
[groans softly]
496
00:19:35,900 --> 00:19:36,767
Get off there.
497
00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:39,467
[Jerry] Moment of truth.
498
00:19:41,567 --> 00:19:42,266
[Mike] Wait a minute.
499
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:43,299
[Jerry] What is it?
500
00:19:43,299 --> 00:19:43,967
[Jerry] What is it?
501
00:19:43,967 --> 00:19:45,000
That... [sighs]
502
00:19:45,066 --> 00:19:47,767
The gauge is on
50-something damn degrees,
503
00:19:47,767 --> 00:19:48,900
that's what's wrong with it.
504
00:19:50,767 --> 00:19:54,266
-Flat as a floater, man.
-Ice friggin' damn cold.
505
00:19:54,266 --> 00:19:57,100
I mean, that's...
It shouldn't be that way.
It should be over 60.
506
00:19:57,967 --> 00:20:00,867
[spits]
Pure friggin' sugar, Jerry.
507
00:20:00,867 --> 00:20:02,166
[sighs in exasperation]
508
00:20:03,467 --> 00:20:05,367
[Jerry] I don't know
what the hell's going on here.
509
00:20:05,367 --> 00:20:07,333
It's callin' for it.
510
00:20:07,333 --> 00:20:08,367
[sighs in exasperation]
511
00:20:08,367 --> 00:20:10,100
This whole situation
just got me down, man.
512
00:20:10,100 --> 00:20:11,767
Nothing seems
to be going right this season
513
00:20:11,767 --> 00:20:13,734
for me and Jerry.
514
00:20:13,734 --> 00:20:15,867
[sighs] I mean,
it just seems like
we can't catch a break.
515
00:20:15,934 --> 00:20:18,767
Working fine the other day,
and it worked fine
in the shop.
516
00:20:18,834 --> 00:20:20,367
Give me a second.
I'll figure this out.
517
00:20:20,367 --> 00:20:22,367
[Mike] Look, Jerry, man,
I'm sorry, dude.
518
00:20:22,367 --> 00:20:23,867
I got to have a break.
519
00:20:23,867 --> 00:20:25,266
I'm done with this
for right now.
520
00:20:25,333 --> 00:20:27,133
I'll get back with you later.
521
00:20:27,133 --> 00:20:28,767
[Mike] Jerry can
figure this thing out.
522
00:20:28,767 --> 00:20:31,567
If I stay here much longer
all it's gonna do
is just frustrate me.
523
00:20:43,100 --> 00:20:44,266
-[Josh] You ready?
-[Kenny] Yep.
524
00:20:44,333 --> 00:20:45,600
[engine starts]
525
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,066
Cranked the first pull.
526
00:20:48,066 --> 00:20:50,000
We've got a sorghum mash
made now.
527
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,133
Just waiting on Henry
to come back.
528
00:20:52,133 --> 00:20:54,467
Hopefully, this mash
is gonna be ready to go.
529
00:20:54,467 --> 00:20:56,667
Trying to get
the old stuff changed
and that?
530
00:20:56,734 --> 00:20:57,667
Fired up first pull.
531
00:20:57,667 --> 00:20:58,667
-It did.
-It's good.
532
00:20:58,667 --> 00:21:00,066
Yep.
I'd say she's ready to go.
533
00:21:00,066 --> 00:21:02,401
-That's good news
but I got some bad news.
-What?
534
00:21:02,401 --> 00:21:02,834
-That's good news
but I got some bad news.
-What?
535
00:21:02,834 --> 00:21:05,333
Had a buddy of mine
hit me up a few minutes ago.
536
00:21:05,333 --> 00:21:07,867
He found this picture
537
00:21:07,934 --> 00:21:09,467
that the guy had
on social media...
538
00:21:09,467 --> 00:21:11,333
I promise I didn't do nothin'.
539
00:21:11,333 --> 00:21:12,033
Of a still.
540
00:21:13,834 --> 00:21:16,133
And sure enough, it's ours.
541
00:21:16,667 --> 00:21:17,967
[Kenny] Damn, man.
542
00:21:17,967 --> 00:21:19,066
[Henry] My buddy saw it,
543
00:21:19,100 --> 00:21:20,867
and he knows the area
that the guy was hunting in,
544
00:21:20,934 --> 00:21:23,934
and he knows that
we worked that area,
and he just shot it to me.
545
00:21:23,934 --> 00:21:25,600
You know what that means?
546
00:21:25,667 --> 00:21:29,567
-That means we need to go
and bust our still site apart.
-It ain't gonna be easy.
547
00:21:30,467 --> 00:21:31,467
-It don't matter.
-A heavy thing.
548
00:21:31,467 --> 00:21:32,401
1,000 gallon still.
549
00:21:32,401 --> 00:21:32,734
1,000 gallon still.
550
00:21:32,734 --> 00:21:35,967
The longer
it's sitting there...
It's on social media.
551
00:21:35,967 --> 00:21:39,400
Social media
travels like wildfire.
It's instantaneous.
552
00:21:39,467 --> 00:21:42,166
-We need to go
get that out immediately.
-Let's get it out of there.
553
00:21:43,867 --> 00:21:45,767
Man, this site here,
we worked our butt off
554
00:21:45,834 --> 00:21:47,300
trying to get everything
camoed in.
555
00:21:47,300 --> 00:21:50,266
We did everything
we could possibly do
to keep from getting found.
556
00:21:50,266 --> 00:21:51,600
When you're in
Franklin County,
557
00:21:51,667 --> 00:21:53,266
if you run up on a still site
558
00:21:53,266 --> 00:21:55,467
you turn your butt around
and you leave.
559
00:21:55,467 --> 00:21:57,066
It had to be somebody
from out of town
560
00:21:57,066 --> 00:22:00,867
or some young punk
wanting to brag about
he saw this still site.
561
00:22:00,867 --> 00:22:02,401
You know what he's doing?
He's costing us
a pile of money.
562
00:22:02,401 --> 00:22:04,066
You know what he's doing?
He's costing us
a pile of money.
563
00:22:04,066 --> 00:22:07,734
Just keep your mouth shut,
and you damn sure don't put it
on social media.
564
00:22:07,734 --> 00:22:10,166
-There ain't nothing in it
is there?
-Yeah.
565
00:22:10,166 --> 00:22:11,367
[Kenny]
How much is in it, Josh?
566
00:22:12,033 --> 00:22:13,500
15 gallons, probably.
567
00:22:13,567 --> 00:22:16,133
-[Henry] 15 gallons?
That's a lot of weight.
-[chuckling] Yeah.
568
00:22:16,133 --> 00:22:19,500
The 1,000 gallon pot
was a son of a gun
to get loaded in the truck,
569
00:22:19,567 --> 00:22:21,600
and that was before
we put mash in it.
570
00:22:21,667 --> 00:22:23,066
Oh, my God.
571
00:22:23,066 --> 00:22:27,100
And we had Tickle, Page,
Henry, Kenny, and me.
572
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:28,867
Told you we needed Page.
573
00:22:28,867 --> 00:22:31,233
[Josh] I knew that thing
was heavier than
I thought it was.
574
00:22:31,233 --> 00:22:32,401
Our only hope is those boards
that come along on there.
575
00:22:32,401 --> 00:22:34,734
Our only hope is those boards
that come along on there.
576
00:22:34,734 --> 00:22:37,834
Hook it to a tree right here
and then pull it up the board.
577
00:22:37,834 --> 00:22:39,166
All right,
let's give it a shot.
578
00:22:39,233 --> 00:22:42,100
Come on,
let's get this unloaded.
We got to do that first.
579
00:22:42,100 --> 00:22:44,367
Well, one thing's for sure
about me, Henry, and Kenny,
580
00:22:44,367 --> 00:22:47,266
when we're together
I don't think there's really
too many jobs
581
00:22:47,333 --> 00:22:48,867
that we can't get done.
582
00:22:48,934 --> 00:22:53,767
But this thing is big,
it's huge, it's heavy,
it's waterlogged.
583
00:22:53,767 --> 00:22:54,867
-Oh, whoa, whoa!
-Whoa, whoa!
584
00:22:54,934 --> 00:22:56,166
We're just gonna have
to get it done,
585
00:22:56,166 --> 00:22:57,166
and get it
the hell out of here.
586
00:22:57,233 --> 00:22:58,367
[Josh] All right, fellas,
587
00:22:59,000 --> 00:22:59,967
you ready to rock?
588
00:23:00,066 --> 00:23:01,066
-[Henry] Right.
-[Kenny] Ready when you are.
589
00:23:02,266 --> 00:23:02,401
It's pulling it.
590
00:23:02,401 --> 00:23:03,166
It's pulling it.
591
00:23:03,934 --> 00:23:04,667
Looking good.
592
00:23:05,667 --> 00:23:07,133
[Kenny] That's good there now.
593
00:23:07,133 --> 00:23:08,100
Come on, a little bit more.
594
00:23:08,667 --> 00:23:09,333
[groans]
595
00:23:10,166 --> 00:23:10,867
Looking good.
596
00:23:12,834 --> 00:23:13,767
Come on, a little bit more.
597
00:23:14,333 --> 00:23:15,000
[Henry] Whoa.
598
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:16,467
That's all we got.
599
00:23:17,934 --> 00:23:18,667
Told you.
600
00:23:19,367 --> 00:23:20,734
Did I not tell you?
601
00:23:20,734 --> 00:23:22,266
It's got to have
three men around.
602
00:23:22,266 --> 00:23:24,033
[Josh] Let's go back
and check on that mash.
603
00:23:32,266 --> 00:23:32,401
-Wow, look at this.
-Yeah, it opens up
like a big Pittsburgh present.
604
00:23:32,401 --> 00:23:37,333
-Wow, look at this.
-Yeah, it opens up
like a big Pittsburgh present.
605
00:23:37,333 --> 00:23:40,133
-Dude, how crazy is that?
-[laughs]
606
00:23:40,133 --> 00:23:45,400
Digger is out of town,
so Joe and I have come
to freakin' Pittsburgh.
607
00:23:45,467 --> 00:23:47,500
Look at this city.
608
00:23:47,567 --> 00:23:52,667
We're here to sell 60 gallons
of triple malt moonshine.
609
00:23:52,734 --> 00:23:54,834
So, where are we going first?
610
00:23:54,834 --> 00:23:57,934
So, I was nervous about it
while we were driving up here,
611
00:23:57,934 --> 00:23:59,867
but I made a few phone calls,
612
00:23:59,934 --> 00:24:02,401
and if we really want
to hit the ground running
613
00:24:02,401 --> 00:24:02,567
and if we really want
to hit the ground running
614
00:24:02,567 --> 00:24:05,400
the first place,
in my opinion,
we got to take this shine to
615
00:24:05,467 --> 00:24:07,000
is to the barbershop, man.
616
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,967
-To a barbershop?
-Yeah.
617
00:24:08,967 --> 00:24:13,133
And the guy, Big Tom,
that owns the joint,
I mean, he knows everybody.
618
00:24:13,133 --> 00:24:18,333
One of the best cultural hubs
in the city of Pittsburgh
is the Hill District,
619
00:24:18,333 --> 00:24:19,867
-and that's where
his barber shop is.
-[Beaz] Okay.
620
00:24:21,266 --> 00:24:24,567
So many famous musicians
used to come through
621
00:24:24,567 --> 00:24:27,266
-to the speakeasies
here in town...
-Okay, got you.
622
00:24:27,333 --> 00:24:29,233
and, like, play jazz music
623
00:24:29,233 --> 00:24:32,401
because there's
a huge history of jazz
in speakeasies in Pittsburgh.
624
00:24:32,401 --> 00:24:32,834
because there's
a huge history of jazz
in speakeasies in Pittsburgh.
625
00:24:32,834 --> 00:24:35,567
-So it's like
Music Row in Nashville?
-Yeah.
626
00:24:35,567 --> 00:24:40,600
-So, we're moving
from hoedown to hip hop.
-[chuckles]
627
00:24:40,667 --> 00:24:42,600
[narrator] Once known
as Little Harlem,
628
00:24:42,667 --> 00:24:45,333
Pittsburgh's Hill District
was a hotspot
629
00:24:45,333 --> 00:24:50,066
for speakeasies
and a burgeoning jazz scene
in the 1920s.
630
00:24:50,066 --> 00:24:53,367
Legends like Earl Hines
got a start there,
631
00:24:53,367 --> 00:24:57,867
followed by everyone
from Ella Fitzgerald
to Miles Davis.
632
00:24:57,934 --> 00:25:00,767
With an estimated
10,000 stills
633
00:25:00,834 --> 00:25:02,401
churning out liquor
across the city,
634
00:25:02,401 --> 00:25:03,467
churning out liquor
across the city,
635
00:25:03,467 --> 00:25:06,166
and a large
working class population
636
00:25:06,233 --> 00:25:09,834
that liked to drink
and listen to live jazz,
637
00:25:09,834 --> 00:25:14,233
illegal clubs flourished
across Pittsburgh
during prohibition.
638
00:25:15,266 --> 00:25:16,900
A century later,
639
00:25:16,900 --> 00:25:21,266
due to the combination
of high liquor taxes
and arcane liquor laws,
640
00:25:21,266 --> 00:25:24,033
speakeasies
and illegal nightclubs
641
00:25:24,033 --> 00:25:26,667
continue to thrive
in Pittsburgh.
642
00:25:26,667 --> 00:25:29,166
And, for those
who know where to look,
643
00:25:29,166 --> 00:25:32,401
bootleg liquor from Appalachia
can still be found
in The City of Bridges.
644
00:25:32,401 --> 00:25:34,667
bootleg liquor from Appalachia
can still be found
in The City of Bridges.
645
00:25:36,567 --> 00:25:37,300
Where am I going?
646
00:25:37,333 --> 00:25:38,867
-[Joe] Going straight.
-Okay.
647
00:25:38,934 --> 00:25:43,000
Having the ability
to get our feelers out
from the Hill District
648
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,333
is gonna be paramount
to our further success
in Pittsburgh.
649
00:25:47,333 --> 00:25:49,834
-Joe, what's up?
-Doing all right, man,
doing all right.
650
00:25:49,834 --> 00:25:51,600
-Good to see you, man.
-It's good to see you too,
man.
651
00:25:51,667 --> 00:25:52,734
-Good to see you,
for real.
-Yeah.
652
00:25:52,734 --> 00:25:54,467
-Hey, man, I'm Beaz.
-What's up, Beaz?
653
00:25:54,467 --> 00:25:55,567
-Nice to meet ya.
-How you doin', man?
654
00:25:55,567 --> 00:25:57,467
Big Tom's Barbershop,
655
00:25:57,467 --> 00:26:01,266
we walk into the place,
guy's sitting around
getting their haircuts,
656
00:26:01,266 --> 00:26:02,401
talking about their community,
talking smack.
657
00:26:02,401 --> 00:26:04,100
talking about their community,
talking smack.
658
00:26:04,100 --> 00:26:06,166
Next time I'm in,
I'm gonna get my little lines.
659
00:26:06,233 --> 00:26:07,567
-Yeah. [laughs]
-All right, I hear you.
660
00:26:07,567 --> 00:26:11,367
I think that Joe
was absolutely on point
with this suggestion,
661
00:26:11,367 --> 00:26:14,066
so I'm very hopeful.
662
00:26:14,066 --> 00:26:15,500
So, I know we talked
on the phone, bro,
663
00:26:15,567 --> 00:26:17,600
and, you know,
we brought a sample.
664
00:26:17,667 --> 00:26:21,166
This is a triple malted grain
legacy liquor.
665
00:26:21,233 --> 00:26:22,033
Let me take a sip.
666
00:26:23,567 --> 00:26:24,433
[slurps]
667
00:26:26,100 --> 00:26:27,834
[smacks lips]
That's pretty good, man.
668
00:26:27,834 --> 00:26:29,600
-It's strong as...[bleep]
-[both laugh]
669
00:26:29,667 --> 00:26:31,300
[Tom] That was pretty good.
670
00:26:31,300 --> 00:26:32,401
-Well, it hits you right where
it's supposed to hit you.
-That's pretty good.
671
00:26:32,401 --> 00:26:32,567
-Well, it hits you right where
it's supposed to hit you.
-That's pretty good.
672
00:26:32,567 --> 00:26:33,934
-It's got some horsepower.
-I like that.
673
00:26:33,934 --> 00:26:36,000
Nobody up here
has tasted anything like it...
674
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,567
-I like that.
-...and I think we're gonna
be able to sell all of it
675
00:26:38,567 --> 00:26:39,767
up here, hopefully.
676
00:26:39,834 --> 00:26:40,700
I know some people.
677
00:26:40,700 --> 00:26:42,734
My nephew,
he got a little speakeasy.
678
00:26:42,734 --> 00:26:44,033
His people would probably
679
00:26:44,033 --> 00:26:45,367
-would want to grab
a bunch of that.
-That's why I came...
680
00:26:45,367 --> 00:26:47,567
-That's... Yeah.
-You leave that with me.
681
00:26:47,567 --> 00:26:49,667
You gonna leave that one
with me or something, Joe?
682
00:26:49,734 --> 00:26:51,033
Leave this one with me.
683
00:26:51,066 --> 00:26:52,233
-I'll leave it with you.
-I'm gonna let me nephew
taste this.
684
00:26:52,266 --> 00:26:54,667
So, I'm gonna
leave this sample behind
for Big Tom.
685
00:26:54,734 --> 00:26:55,767
Take a shot of that, man.
686
00:26:56,567 --> 00:26:57,834
You got it, brother?
687
00:26:57,834 --> 00:27:01,166
When you drop
the water in the bucket
at a barbershop,
688
00:27:01,166 --> 00:27:02,401
it spreads.
689
00:27:02,401 --> 00:27:02,767
it spreads.
690
00:27:02,767 --> 00:27:04,467
-Hmm.
-[chuckles]
691
00:27:04,467 --> 00:27:07,133
He can put out enough feelers
in his circles
692
00:27:07,133 --> 00:27:10,667
to make sure that
we can offload
all of this shine.
693
00:27:10,667 --> 00:27:11,767
-Big Tom.
-All right.
694
00:27:11,834 --> 00:27:13,834
Love you, man.
Glad to meet you, my friend.
695
00:27:13,834 --> 00:27:15,133
Good to meet you too, man.
696
00:27:15,166 --> 00:27:18,066
-Glad to have
a Pittsburgh buddy.
-There you go. [laughs]
697
00:27:18,066 --> 00:27:19,066
[Big Tom] No doubt, man.
698
00:27:27,367 --> 00:27:29,600
Will it be or will it be not?
699
00:27:29,667 --> 00:27:31,000
♪ Da, da, da, da, da ♪
700
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,233
[Josh] Today's really amazing
701
00:27:32,233 --> 00:27:32,401
because we're coming back
to check on that mash.
702
00:27:32,401 --> 00:27:34,667
because we're coming back
to check on that mash.
703
00:27:34,734 --> 00:27:39,266
Down in Brazil,
I myself made moonshine
in less than 24 hours.
704
00:27:39,333 --> 00:27:43,033
We cut the sugarcane,
made the mash,
made the run,
705
00:27:43,033 --> 00:27:45,867
drank the moonshine
in less than 24 hours.
706
00:27:45,934 --> 00:27:47,266
I really got
my fingers crossed
707
00:27:47,333 --> 00:27:50,500
that this mash
is gonna be done, working off,
and ready to go.
708
00:27:51,233 --> 00:27:52,367
This is gonna tell its story.
709
00:27:54,266 --> 00:27:55,367
[Henry]
This is gonna tell its story.
710
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,867
[smacks lips] It is better.
711
00:27:57,867 --> 00:28:00,467
-Damn right it's better.
Expect anything less?
-[chuckles softly]
712
00:28:00,467 --> 00:28:02,367
-[Kenny] She's ready.
-[Henry] 16 hours.
I can't believe it.
713
00:28:02,433 --> 00:28:03,433
[laughs smugly]
714
00:28:03,834 --> 00:28:04,634
I told you.
715
00:28:04,634 --> 00:28:06,266
Obviously,
sorghum and sugarcane
716
00:28:06,333 --> 00:28:07,533
are close enough
to each other.
717
00:28:07,533 --> 00:28:08,767
I can't believe it.
718
00:28:08,834 --> 00:28:10,166
And the yeast, it works.
719
00:28:10,166 --> 00:28:12,834
Well, I'll tell you what,
South America
comes to Virginia.
720
00:28:12,834 --> 00:28:14,033
Gold mine.
721
00:28:14,033 --> 00:28:15,533
[Josh]
I just hope it taste good
when we round off.
722
00:28:15,533 --> 00:28:17,767
[Henry] I got a small still
already set up
down at creek.
723
00:28:17,767 --> 00:28:18,834
Let's get this stuff loaded.
724
00:28:18,834 --> 00:28:20,667
Just because
this stuff worked off...
725
00:28:22,433 --> 00:28:23,471
Don't mean
it's gonna taste good.
726
00:28:23,471 --> 00:28:23,867
Don't mean
it's gonna taste good.
727
00:28:26,567 --> 00:28:28,634
We only made
a small amount of mash...
728
00:28:30,567 --> 00:28:32,266
Because we didn't know
if this was gonna work.
729
00:28:32,266 --> 00:28:34,000
So we're gonna use
the small submarine still.
730
00:28:36,066 --> 00:28:38,467
I'm burning up.
I got to shed this... [bleep]
731
00:28:38,533 --> 00:28:40,166
It's warm on... [sighs]
732
00:28:43,033 --> 00:28:44,767
Take some beans
and put 'em in a thumper.
733
00:28:44,767 --> 00:28:48,166
-Put some in the thumper?
-[Josh] Yeah, just to give it
that essence...
734
00:28:48,233 --> 00:28:49,333
...you know what I'm saying?
735
00:28:49,333 --> 00:28:51,567
I brought some coffee beans
back from Brazil.
736
00:28:51,634 --> 00:28:53,471
Right now, caffeinated
alcoholic beverages
are a big craze,
737
00:28:53,471 --> 00:28:55,567
Right now, caffeinated
alcoholic beverages
are a big craze,
738
00:28:55,567 --> 00:28:57,266
and I want to be
on the top of that market.
739
00:28:57,266 --> 00:28:58,367
[Kenny]
Get your stuff running.
740
00:28:58,367 --> 00:29:00,166
-[Josh] Light it up, Henry.
-[Henry] All right.
741
00:29:02,767 --> 00:29:04,000
[Henry] Sorghum, baby.
742
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,767
Tell you what, Josh,
that mash was
pretty darn warm.
743
00:29:05,834 --> 00:29:07,233
It won't take long
for this to boil.
744
00:29:07,233 --> 00:29:09,266
-Sure smells good though.
-[Henry] Does smell good,
don't it?
745
00:29:09,333 --> 00:29:10,266
[Josh]
Henry, what do you think?
746
00:29:10,333 --> 00:29:12,166
Shall we try
some of that coffee?
747
00:29:12,233 --> 00:29:14,100
Well, you better
throw 'em in there.
Give me the hoe.
748
00:29:14,100 --> 00:29:15,367
-Yeah.
-Going for a minute,
749
00:29:15,433 --> 00:29:16,967
this is gonna be a ball
in a minute.
750
00:29:16,967 --> 00:29:18,367
[Josh] Muy close.
751
00:29:18,367 --> 00:29:21,433
I went all the way to Brazil
to get these coffee beans.
752
00:29:21,433 --> 00:29:23,471
These beans here
come from Fabiola.
753
00:29:23,471 --> 00:29:23,867
These beans here
come from Fabiola.
754
00:29:23,867 --> 00:29:25,634
Her, and her husband,
and her kids live on this
755
00:29:25,634 --> 00:29:26,834
farm,
756
00:29:26,834 --> 00:29:28,367
and they've had it for,
like, hundreds of years.
757
00:29:29,834 --> 00:29:30,867
[Kenny] I hope
we don't lose it.
758
00:29:30,867 --> 00:29:32,266
What was it?
Like, a pound bag?
759
00:29:32,333 --> 00:29:35,066
I'm gonna run my thumper
and my worm
and all that crap.
760
00:29:35,066 --> 00:29:36,667
-Oh, give me a break.
-I'm serious.
761
00:29:36,734 --> 00:29:37,934
Well, it's gonna smell
like coffee
762
00:29:37,934 --> 00:29:38,967
-from now on.
-Yeah.
763
00:29:39,567 --> 00:29:41,066
[Kenny] Oh, my goodness.
764
00:29:41,066 --> 00:29:42,967
All right, let's get the cap
on there, Ken.
765
00:29:42,967 --> 00:29:44,100
Ooh.
766
00:29:44,100 --> 00:29:46,367
Damn, this thing hot, eh, bro?
767
00:29:46,367 --> 00:29:47,867
Hold up.
768
00:29:49,867 --> 00:29:50,867
We in business.
769
00:29:50,934 --> 00:29:52,433
No, we're not even just yet.
770
00:29:53,567 --> 00:29:55,367
-It's just one burrow,
you know?
-Ow.
771
00:29:55,433 --> 00:29:56,433
Charge this thumper...
772
00:29:57,166 --> 00:29:59,266
with beans.
773
00:29:59,266 --> 00:30:01,233
You know what? I don't know
what my father would think,
774
00:30:01,233 --> 00:30:02,433
and my grandfather.
775
00:30:03,467 --> 00:30:05,133
They probably would disown me.
776
00:30:05,133 --> 00:30:06,767
If you don't get
outside the box, Henry,
777
00:30:06,767 --> 00:30:08,767
you'll be stuck in it
with everybody else.
778
00:30:08,834 --> 00:30:10,133
I've been stuck in it
for 50 years...
779
00:30:10,133 --> 00:30:11,467
-[Josh] Exactly.
-...and made a killing.
780
00:30:11,533 --> 00:30:12,667
-That's for sure.
-[Josh] Ow!
781
00:30:12,734 --> 00:30:14,667
Damn, that thing
is scalding hot.
782
00:30:14,667 --> 00:30:16,567
We gonna be making liquor
any second.
783
00:30:16,567 --> 00:30:18,567
-Hell, we already
making liquor.
-Hot dog!
784
00:30:20,033 --> 00:30:22,734
Man, you can actually smell
the coffee aroma.
785
00:30:22,734 --> 00:30:23,471
[Henry] Yeah, if you had
donuts to go with it,
you'd be set.
786
00:30:23,471 --> 00:30:24,567
[Henry] Yeah, if you had
donuts to go with it,
you'd be set.
787
00:30:24,634 --> 00:30:25,767
[Josh] Ha, no [bleep].
788
00:30:25,834 --> 00:30:27,100
[Henry] Let me get
a smell of it now.
789
00:30:27,100 --> 00:30:29,266
It smells good, don't it?
790
00:30:29,266 --> 00:30:30,867
And clear, ain't it?
791
00:30:30,934 --> 00:30:32,634
-[Henry] Not bad.
-[Josh] No. Put a little bit
in here.
792
00:30:34,333 --> 00:30:36,667
-All right, big dog,
what we got?
-What you got?
793
00:30:39,433 --> 00:30:40,667
Look at that.
794
00:30:40,734 --> 00:30:42,767
-It's about perfect, is all.
-You can't beat that.
795
00:30:42,834 --> 00:30:45,533
The smell. Man, you smell
that sorghum in there?
796
00:30:47,233 --> 00:30:49,133
And that stuff
was thick as molasses.
797
00:30:57,433 --> 00:30:59,166
[Josh] That's good stuff
right there, man.
798
00:31:01,467 --> 00:31:05,100
You can totally taste those
sweet notes from the sorghum,
799
00:31:05,100 --> 00:31:08,233
and you could totally
pick up on that coffee aroma.
800
00:31:08,233 --> 00:31:11,033
It transfers through
from the thump keg
801
00:31:11,033 --> 00:31:12,467
right into the jar.
802
00:31:12,533 --> 00:31:13,934
You know what the best part
about all this is,
803
00:31:13,934 --> 00:31:15,333
is that fire
made it overnight.
804
00:31:15,333 --> 00:31:16,533
That's gonna be
the kicker right there.
805
00:31:16,533 --> 00:31:17,934
That's gonna be
the money maker.
806
00:31:17,934 --> 00:31:19,567
'Cause 16 hours,
I'd have never believed it.
807
00:31:19,567 --> 00:31:21,266
I tried to tell you, man.
808
00:31:22,433 --> 00:31:23,471
The trip to Brazil
was worth its weight in gold.
809
00:31:23,471 --> 00:31:25,000
The trip to Brazil
was worth its weight in gold.
810
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,467
This is the first time
we've ever made this stuff.
811
00:31:28,467 --> 00:31:30,634
You just wait.
I'm gonna perfect this.
812
00:31:31,467 --> 00:31:33,000
Mmm.
813
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,934
It burns blue, Ken, see?
814
00:31:34,934 --> 00:31:36,967
If we can keep
that yeast alive
like you're talking about,
815
00:31:36,967 --> 00:31:38,367
we're talking about
the money, man.
816
00:31:38,367 --> 00:31:40,667
We'll be the only moonshiners
in America
817
00:31:40,667 --> 00:31:44,166
running off alcohol
much faster than anybody else,
818
00:31:44,233 --> 00:31:45,367
and we'll be the only ones
819
00:31:45,433 --> 00:31:47,100
cornering the market
like this.
820
00:31:47,100 --> 00:31:49,333
This will revolutionize
our business.
821
00:31:49,333 --> 00:31:50,467
See you, big boy.
822
00:31:50,533 --> 00:31:52,000
Hell yeah,
that's what I'm talking about.
823
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,471
I love it
when a plan comes together.
824
00:31:53,471 --> 00:31:53,667
I love it
when a plan comes together.
825
00:32:08,767 --> 00:32:10,567
-[Joe] Pull up to the right.
-[Beaz] Yeah.
826
00:32:10,634 --> 00:32:12,667
Big time, he got
the word out on the street,
827
00:32:12,667 --> 00:32:16,467
and his buddy Zayn
is really interested in buying
828
00:32:16,533 --> 00:32:18,567
the whole load of liquor
off of us.
829
00:32:18,567 --> 00:32:19,934
-[Beaz] Here we go.
-[Joe] Okay, let's go.
830
00:32:19,934 --> 00:32:22,233
I'm coming around the front.
You go around the back.
831
00:32:22,233 --> 00:32:23,471
He's involved in a speakeasy
832
00:32:23,471 --> 00:32:24,934
He's involved in a speakeasy
833
00:32:24,934 --> 00:32:26,333
in and around
the Hill District,
834
00:32:26,333 --> 00:32:29,967
so he has the credentials
to be a buyer for us
835
00:32:29,967 --> 00:32:31,667
and a supplier to the people.
836
00:32:31,667 --> 00:32:33,734
What's going on, man?
How you doing, bro?
837
00:32:33,734 --> 00:32:35,233
-[Zayn] Good to see you.
-Yeah, good to see
you too, yeah.
838
00:32:36,233 --> 00:32:37,266
I want you to give it a taste,
839
00:32:37,333 --> 00:32:38,867
make sure it's what
you all wanted.
840
00:32:40,367 --> 00:32:41,767
[Zayn] Amazing stuff
right there.
841
00:32:41,834 --> 00:32:43,834
[Joe] All right, we're gonna
need to see the money first.
842
00:32:43,834 --> 00:32:46,066
-Got all $10,000 here.
-All right.
843
00:32:46,066 --> 00:32:48,333
-This is my boy Beaz.
-[Zayn] Sup, Beaz?
844
00:32:49,367 --> 00:32:50,734
-We're good?
-Yeah, we're good.
845
00:32:50,734 --> 00:32:52,266
All right.
846
00:32:52,266 --> 00:32:53,471
We are so excited.
847
00:32:53,471 --> 00:32:53,734
We are so excited.
848
00:32:53,734 --> 00:32:57,133
We have a new market
on our hands.
849
00:32:57,133 --> 00:32:59,367
We're moving
our business forward.
850
00:32:59,433 --> 00:33:01,634
We're gonna go back
to Tennessee,
851
00:33:01,634 --> 00:33:03,166
pay Digger his cut,
852
00:33:03,166 --> 00:33:06,333
and tell him that
we scored big in Pittsburgh.
853
00:33:06,333 --> 00:33:08,233
Wow.
854
00:33:08,233 --> 00:33:10,166
That's why we came up here.
855
00:33:19,467 --> 00:33:22,266
[Richard] Man, I hope
this mash worked off.
856
00:33:22,333 --> 00:33:23,471
-It should be ready now.
-It should be.
857
00:33:23,471 --> 00:33:24,533
-It should be ready now.
-It should be.
858
00:33:24,533 --> 00:33:27,367
So, we got
1,000 gallons of mash
we got sitting on the farm.
859
00:33:27,433 --> 00:33:28,934
I mean,
this is a huge investment,
860
00:33:28,934 --> 00:33:31,266
and it's part of a really,
really major plan.
861
00:33:31,266 --> 00:33:32,834
Let me get up there
and help you.
862
00:33:32,834 --> 00:33:33,934
All...
863
00:33:33,934 --> 00:33:36,033
Let's just check it. Yeah.
864
00:33:36,033 --> 00:33:37,266
[Craig] You feel that heat?
865
00:33:37,333 --> 00:33:39,367
It's coming back out here
hitting us.
866
00:33:40,433 --> 00:33:41,767
Oh, look at that.
867
00:33:41,834 --> 00:33:42,867
-We in business.
-She finished.
868
00:33:42,867 --> 00:33:43,767
We in business.
869
00:33:45,033 --> 00:33:47,333
-Is it good?
-Hell yeah.
870
00:33:47,333 --> 00:33:49,166
Taste like
some fine corn wine?
871
00:33:49,166 --> 00:33:50,333
Hell yeah.
872
00:33:50,333 --> 00:33:51,567
Gonna make
some good corn liquor,
873
00:33:51,634 --> 00:33:53,471
premium, for a cheap price.
874
00:33:53,471 --> 00:33:53,767
premium, for a cheap price.
875
00:33:53,834 --> 00:33:56,266
We gonna get the pump,
the empty barrel,
876
00:33:56,333 --> 00:33:57,767
I'm gonna back the trailer in,
877
00:33:57,834 --> 00:33:59,667
and we gonna start
pumping this stuff out, man.
878
00:33:59,734 --> 00:34:02,166
[Craig] Come on.
Come back. You got it.
879
00:34:02,233 --> 00:34:03,667
All right,
hold it right there.
880
00:34:03,667 --> 00:34:05,367
There ain't no way Craig and I
are gonna move
881
00:34:05,367 --> 00:34:06,867
these barrels by ourselves.
882
00:34:06,867 --> 00:34:09,166
So we're gonna pump this mash
from barrel to barrel
883
00:34:09,166 --> 00:34:10,767
till we get 10 of them
on the truck, then we gonna
884
00:34:10,767 --> 00:34:12,100
get the hell out of here
and go run the mash.
885
00:34:12,967 --> 00:34:14,266
[Craig] Just wanna
drink it all.
886
00:34:14,266 --> 00:34:16,066
Smells so good.
887
00:34:16,066 --> 00:34:18,667
This is the largest scale
that me and Richard
have ever mashed in,
888
00:34:18,734 --> 00:34:19,767
and it's great.
889
00:34:19,767 --> 00:34:21,867
But now the work
is ahead of us.
890
00:34:21,934 --> 00:34:23,471
We have to move all of this
to our still site.
891
00:34:23,471 --> 00:34:24,934
We have to move all of this
to our still site.
892
00:34:24,934 --> 00:34:27,000
This is gonna be the hardest
we ever worked.
893
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,433
Capped off number 10.
894
00:34:29,433 --> 00:34:30,667
10 barrels.
That's about as good
895
00:34:30,734 --> 00:34:31,767
as it could get
for that trailer.
896
00:34:31,767 --> 00:34:33,166
We don't wanna overweight it
897
00:34:33,233 --> 00:34:34,967
and have some real trouble
going down the road.
898
00:34:34,967 --> 00:34:36,934
So we're gonna take
these 10 barrels
899
00:34:36,934 --> 00:34:38,467
and we're gonna get them
into the woods.
900
00:34:50,233 --> 00:34:52,266
[cell phone ringing]
901
00:34:53,767 --> 00:34:56,133
Hey. Well, I got it working.
Just a bad fuse.
902
00:34:57,266 --> 00:34:59,166
[Mike] Hey, thanks for
taking care of it, Jerry.
903
00:34:59,166 --> 00:35:01,467
Without you, dude, we couldn't
have got this thing fixed.
904
00:35:01,533 --> 00:35:03,100
[Jerry on phone] With this
system we got in place,
905
00:35:03,100 --> 00:35:04,467
just let it sit up here
and do its thing,
906
00:35:04,533 --> 00:35:06,000
you know, heat everything up,
907
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,433
and we'll get back in there,
make sure we can run 'em.
908
00:35:08,433 --> 00:35:10,834
Yeah, we'll wait for
one of them 60-degree days
909
00:35:10,834 --> 00:35:12,967
to go back in there, by God.
910
00:35:12,967 --> 00:35:14,867
-[on phone] Hell yeah.
-[laughs]
911
00:35:14,934 --> 00:35:17,634
Oh, hell. Holy [bleep].
912
00:35:17,634 --> 00:35:19,934
There's Richard and Craig
right there, Jerry.
913
00:35:19,934 --> 00:35:21,166
I see their truck.
914
00:35:21,166 --> 00:35:23,471
They got a damn trailer
full of mash barrels.
915
00:35:23,471 --> 00:35:23,667
They got a damn trailer
full of mash barrels.
916
00:35:29,634 --> 00:35:31,567
[Beaz] Well, I'm pumped up
on this stuff.
917
00:35:31,567 --> 00:35:35,767
And been meaning to ask you,
do I get a company vehicle?
918
00:35:35,834 --> 00:35:37,734
You're making a joke, I hope.
919
00:35:37,734 --> 00:35:39,266
Some kind of a truck.
920
00:35:39,266 --> 00:35:42,667
Like, big truck
that it's hard to climb up in.
921
00:35:42,667 --> 00:35:44,667
I don't have a company truck.
922
00:35:44,734 --> 00:35:47,433
-No company truck?
-No company truck, sorry.
923
00:35:47,433 --> 00:35:50,367
You don't get a W-2 or a 1099
from this job either.
924
00:35:51,133 --> 00:35:52,667
There's no profit sharing.
925
00:35:52,667 --> 00:35:54,088
No 401K.
926
00:35:54,088 --> 00:35:54,467
No 401K.
927
00:35:54,467 --> 00:35:57,233
You gotta do it on your own,
like a 401W.
928
00:35:57,233 --> 00:36:00,266
Vacation? Insurance?
929
00:36:00,266 --> 00:36:02,166
The only insurance
you're gonna get
930
00:36:02,166 --> 00:36:04,634
is that I'm gonna make sure
you got 60 gallons of liquor
going down the road.
931
00:36:04,634 --> 00:36:07,066
[both laugh]
932
00:36:08,367 --> 00:36:09,567
Holy [bleep].
There's Richard and Craig
933
00:36:09,567 --> 00:36:10,634
right there, Jerry.
934
00:36:10,634 --> 00:36:11,867
I see their truck.
935
00:36:11,867 --> 00:36:14,233
They got a damn trailer
full of mash barrels.
936
00:36:14,233 --> 00:36:16,133
I'm turning my eyes around
right now.
937
00:36:16,133 --> 00:36:17,967
[Jerry on phone] Holy...
They real plastic barrels?
938
00:36:17,967 --> 00:36:19,033
[Mike] Plastic barrels.
939
00:36:19,033 --> 00:36:20,767
Look like
they're full of something.
940
00:36:20,767 --> 00:36:22,266
[Jerry] You can tell
they're not even.
941
00:36:22,333 --> 00:36:24,667
No, those sons of bitches
ain't even.
That trailer's squat.
942
00:36:24,667 --> 00:36:26,367
They flying, dude.
943
00:36:26,433 --> 00:36:27,767
[Jerry] Probably making
their own barrels
in the woods.
944
00:36:27,834 --> 00:36:29,233
I wanna see.
945
00:36:29,233 --> 00:36:30,433
I'm going to go see where
they're taking this crap.
946
00:36:30,433 --> 00:36:31,667
[Jerry] Get into the woods
947
00:36:31,734 --> 00:36:33,233
and see what
they're gonna do with it.
948
00:36:33,233 --> 00:36:35,033
I'm gonna follow them and see
where the hell they're at.
949
00:36:35,033 --> 00:36:36,667
I'm gonna just stay
way behind them
950
00:36:36,667 --> 00:36:37,398
so they don't spot me,
you know what I mean?
951
00:36:37,398 --> 00:36:38,634
so they don't spot me,
you know what I mean?
952
00:36:38,634 --> 00:36:40,100
[Jerry] You gotta
stay close enough.
953
00:36:40,100 --> 00:36:41,467
You don't wanna
lose them, Mike.
954
00:36:41,533 --> 00:36:43,133
Holy [bleep].
955
00:36:43,133 --> 00:36:45,166
I'm turning down through here
and following them right now,
956
00:36:45,166 --> 00:36:46,433
to go up through here.
957
00:36:46,433 --> 00:36:47,867
[Jerry] They got
a trailer full of barrels.
958
00:36:47,934 --> 00:36:49,734
Man, they are taking it
into the woods on a run.
959
00:36:49,734 --> 00:36:52,066
Let them carry it
to the woods. Let them run.
960
00:36:52,066 --> 00:36:55,033
It's the damn middle
of hunting season right now,
961
00:36:55,033 --> 00:36:58,467
and just so be it
I've got a game camera on me.
962
00:36:58,467 --> 00:37:00,066
I'll follow them.
963
00:37:00,066 --> 00:37:01,100
I'll hook up a game camera.
964
00:37:01,100 --> 00:37:03,066
I'll let the camera
catch their asses.
965
00:37:03,066 --> 00:37:05,066
[Jerry] Is that one of
them cellular kind
that'll ping your phone?
966
00:37:05,066 --> 00:37:06,467
[Mike] Yeah, it'll ping
my phone.
967
00:37:06,533 --> 00:37:07,398
[Jerry]
Well, that's perfect, man.
968
00:37:07,398 --> 00:37:07,867
[Jerry]
Well, that's perfect, man.
969
00:37:07,867 --> 00:37:09,533
Do that.
We'll keep an eye on them.
970
00:37:09,533 --> 00:37:10,834
Hopefully we'll keep an eye on
971
00:37:10,834 --> 00:37:12,433
when they're going in,
when they're coming out.
972
00:37:12,433 --> 00:37:14,767
[Mike] This is
a damn no-outlet road
right here, Jerry.
973
00:37:14,767 --> 00:37:16,634
[Jerry]
Well, that's even better, man.
974
00:37:16,634 --> 00:37:18,100
There's no outlet.
975
00:37:18,100 --> 00:37:19,767
They gotta come in one way
or out one way.
976
00:37:19,767 --> 00:37:23,166
That's exactly right.
They on a damn dead-end road.
977
00:37:23,166 --> 00:37:24,634
[Jerry] Just pick a good spot
and set your thing up
978
00:37:24,634 --> 00:37:25,934
so we can see them
coming in and out,
979
00:37:25,934 --> 00:37:29,567
and, yeah, we'll intercept
them from there.
980
00:37:29,634 --> 00:37:30,834
All right. See ya.
981
00:37:30,834 --> 00:37:32,567
[Jerry] See ya.
982
00:37:32,567 --> 00:37:34,734
This road is like
a damn pig trail.
983
00:37:37,567 --> 00:37:39,533
If they had
to come this way...
984
00:37:39,533 --> 00:37:41,834
This is the only way in here,
that's for sure.
985
00:37:41,834 --> 00:37:43,000
You know, I was keeping
986
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,333
Richard and Craig
in my sights,
987
00:37:44,333 --> 00:37:46,233
but right now,
I don't know which one
988
00:37:46,233 --> 00:37:47,967
of these little turn-offs
they've turned up,
989
00:37:47,967 --> 00:37:49,667
which is okay with me
990
00:37:49,734 --> 00:37:51,033
because I know
they're in here somewhere
991
00:37:51,033 --> 00:37:52,967
and they gotta come back out
the main way.
992
00:37:52,967 --> 00:37:54,567
So I'm gonna
set a camera up here
993
00:37:54,634 --> 00:37:56,133
and get the hell out of dodge.
994
00:37:56,133 --> 00:37:57,233
A pretty damn good spot.
995
00:37:57,233 --> 00:37:59,166
I can get
way off of this road,
996
00:37:59,166 --> 00:38:00,567
set my camera up.
997
00:38:01,233 --> 00:38:02,967
They will never see it,
998
00:38:02,967 --> 00:38:05,266
and they have to
come past it regardless.
999
00:38:05,266 --> 00:38:06,533
Let me see here.
1000
00:38:16,266 --> 00:38:18,166
There's the son of a B
right there.
1001
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,333
You know, I'm sick and damn
tired of Richard and Craig
1002
00:38:30,333 --> 00:38:32,734
running round Maggie Valley
like they own the damn place.
1003
00:38:32,734 --> 00:38:34,367
Running liquor,
selling to our customers,
1004
00:38:34,367 --> 00:38:36,333
taking money off of
mine and Jerry's table.
1005
00:38:37,033 --> 00:38:37,398
This crap stops tonight.
1006
00:38:37,398 --> 00:38:39,634
This crap stops tonight.
1007
00:38:39,634 --> 00:38:42,533
This game camera
is gonna catch video of them
1008
00:38:42,533 --> 00:38:44,266
as soon as something
flashes by.
1009
00:38:48,266 --> 00:38:49,367
I'm gonna be able to know
1010
00:38:49,367 --> 00:38:51,133
exactly what time
they're leaving
1011
00:38:51,133 --> 00:38:53,100
so I can get set up
and get on their trail
1012
00:38:53,100 --> 00:38:54,367
and follow them
where they're going.
1013
00:38:57,867 --> 00:39:00,734
That don't catch their ass,
nothing will.
1014
00:39:00,734 --> 00:39:03,166
They gotta come out of here
at some damn point.
1015
00:39:03,166 --> 00:39:04,367
And when they do,
1016
00:39:04,367 --> 00:39:06,734
put an end to this mess
once and for all.
1017
00:39:18,634 --> 00:39:20,266
-[car horn honks]
-All right.
1018
00:39:20,266 --> 00:39:21,367
-I know, I know.
-We're here.
1019
00:39:23,467 --> 00:39:26,467
There he is! [laughs]
1020
00:39:26,533 --> 00:39:29,133
Damn, guys, I thought
y'all run off the planet.
1021
00:39:29,133 --> 00:39:31,133
-What's going on?
-We kinda did.
1022
00:39:31,133 --> 00:39:33,033
Waiting on y'all to get back.
Where you been?
1023
00:39:33,033 --> 00:39:34,100
Mmm, you know...
1024
00:39:34,100 --> 00:39:35,266
Well, to answer
your questions,
1025
00:39:35,333 --> 00:39:36,834
first of all, there's that.
1026
00:39:36,834 --> 00:39:37,398
Damn, what you
paying with? Fives?
1027
00:39:37,398 --> 00:39:38,333
Damn, what you
paying with? Fives?
1028
00:39:38,333 --> 00:39:41,667
Yeah, we moved
some of that legacy liquor.
1029
00:39:41,667 --> 00:39:43,767
[Digger] Damn, how much
did you sell this liquor for?
1030
00:39:43,834 --> 00:39:47,166
We sold it for $160 a gallon.
1031
00:39:47,233 --> 00:39:48,533
That's your share.
1032
00:39:48,533 --> 00:39:50,567
-$3,000 a cut?
-Correct.
1033
00:39:51,333 --> 00:39:53,166
-Dr. Greedy.
-First trip.
1034
00:39:53,233 --> 00:39:54,567
Well, it worked great.
1035
00:39:54,634 --> 00:39:56,367
You're liking this side of it,
ain't you, brother?
1036
00:39:56,433 --> 00:39:58,767
Yes, sir! Those guys ate it up
up there,
1037
00:39:58,767 --> 00:40:00,467
and they are ready for
a second helping.
1038
00:40:00,467 --> 00:40:02,533
How far? Let's get busy
1039
00:40:02,533 --> 00:40:04,567
-and make a rider truck full.
-[laughs]
1040
00:40:04,567 --> 00:40:07,398
This triple-grain
legacy liquor, I mean,
1041
00:40:07,398 --> 00:40:07,867
This triple-grain
legacy liquor, I mean,
1042
00:40:07,934 --> 00:40:09,567
they've never seen
anything like it,
1043
00:40:09,634 --> 00:40:11,367
I can promise you, 'cause
the state of Tennessee
1044
00:40:11,367 --> 00:40:12,834
ain't never seen
nothing like it.
1045
00:40:12,834 --> 00:40:16,066
And as long as they wanna
roll it up there,
1046
00:40:16,066 --> 00:40:18,233
I'm willing to roll it
out the still.
1047
00:40:18,233 --> 00:40:19,867
It's looking
more and more to me
1048
00:40:19,934 --> 00:40:21,734
like we need to be scaling up.
1049
00:40:21,734 --> 00:40:24,333
Getting some totes in there
and building some more mash,
1050
00:40:24,333 --> 00:40:26,767
-and get to rolling.
-Yes, sir.
1051
00:40:26,834 --> 00:40:28,734
There's the old cliche
that says
1052
00:40:28,734 --> 00:40:30,266
a man's worth
his weight in gold.
1053
00:40:30,333 --> 00:40:31,634
Well, right now, to me,
1054
00:40:31,634 --> 00:40:34,166
Joe Jackson's worth
his weight in platinum.
1055
00:40:34,166 --> 00:40:36,166
Let's go up here
and talk about this.
1056
00:40:36,166 --> 00:40:37,398
Celebrate a little bit
1057
00:40:37,398 --> 00:40:37,533
Celebrate a little bit
1058
00:40:37,533 --> 00:40:38,967
-over a nice little drink...
-Yeah. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
1059
00:40:38,967 --> 00:40:40,667
...and have a little bit
of that liquor left over.
1060
00:40:40,734 --> 00:40:43,533
I can't wait to find Mark
and tell him about this.
1061
00:40:43,533 --> 00:40:46,634
He's bound to love the idea of
this new market opening up.
1062
00:40:46,634 --> 00:40:51,000
[Beaz] Joe, you hit
a home run.
1063
00:40:52,166 --> 00:40:54,333
It's not a school bus,
it's a still bus.
1064
00:40:54,333 --> 00:40:56,100
We'll throw these heads out.
1065
00:40:56,100 --> 00:40:58,367
I knew it was gonna be
a good idea
1066
00:40:58,367 --> 00:40:59,767
to have a mobile still site,
1067
00:40:59,834 --> 00:41:02,100
because I'm always
on the road.
1068
00:41:03,166 --> 00:41:04,233
[bleep]
1069
00:41:04,233 --> 00:41:05,834
I got blue lights,
I got blue lights.
1070
00:41:05,834 --> 00:41:07,000
[sirens blaring]
1071
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:07,398
Oh, my God.
1072
00:41:07,398 --> 00:41:08,266
Oh, my God.
1073
00:41:08,333 --> 00:41:09,567
[Mike] See what's going on
up here.
1074
00:41:09,567 --> 00:41:11,634
Holy [bleep].
1075
00:41:11,634 --> 00:41:13,567
Son of a bitch is slammed
full of liquor, ain't it?
1076
00:41:13,634 --> 00:41:16,066
Adios, Richard and Craig.
1077
00:41:17,467 --> 00:41:19,467
[man on phone] Is there a way
you could double the order?
1078
00:41:19,467 --> 00:41:21,166
Double the order?
1079
00:41:21,166 --> 00:41:22,867
That's a 20-grand day.
1080
00:41:22,867 --> 00:41:24,467
How are we gonna
pull that off?
1081
00:41:24,467 --> 00:41:25,667
He won't tell me.
1082
00:41:26,667 --> 00:41:28,767
-Hey, puss.
-Oh, my God.
1083
00:41:28,767 --> 00:41:30,567
-Here I am.
-That's Mark Ramsey.
