1
00:00:07,100 --> 00:00:09,100
[narrator] This time
on Moonshiners...
2
00:00:09,100 --> 00:00:12,300
Sorry, boss,
today ain't no ride-along day.
3
00:00:12,367 --> 00:00:13,767
I got to go do something
for Mark.
4
00:00:17,467 --> 00:00:19,166
Look at that darn bucket
right there, Jerry.
5
00:00:19,166 --> 00:00:20,967
-That thing's solid ice.
-[Mike] Look.
6
00:00:20,967 --> 00:00:22,400
[Mike]
We should be packing it up
7
00:00:22,467 --> 00:00:24,300
and getting warm
in a damn recliner somewhere.
8
00:00:24,367 --> 00:00:26,266
-This is the igniter.
-[Mike] Mmm-hmm.
9
00:00:26,266 --> 00:00:27,300
[Mike]
Thanks to Richard and Craig,
10
00:00:27,367 --> 00:00:28,300
our asses are still out here
11
00:00:28,367 --> 00:00:29,767
trying to make
something happen.
12
00:00:29,767 --> 00:00:30,000
We got to get this thing going
or our mash is gonna go crap.
13
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,166
We got to get this thing going
or our mash is gonna go crap.
14
00:00:32,166 --> 00:00:35,100
This is perfect.
We'll be able to do everything
we got to do in here.
15
00:00:35,166 --> 00:00:37,266
We're gonna mash up
20 barrels of liquor.
16
00:00:37,266 --> 00:00:40,166
This is the biggest operation
we've ever had going on
at one time.
17
00:00:40,166 --> 00:00:42,000
We've never done
1,000 gallons before.
18
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,000
[Kelly]
She wants that crap gone
from her garage
19
00:00:46,066 --> 00:00:47,033
within two hours.
20
00:00:47,033 --> 00:00:48,200
She's threatening
to call the law.
21
00:00:49,867 --> 00:00:52,467
[man] This is how
we make the moonshine.
22
00:00:57,767 --> 00:01:00,000
[Digger] Beaz,
I think you're gonna like
this guy that I've got.
23
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:00,867
[Digger] Beaz,
I think you're gonna like
this guy that I've got.
24
00:01:00,867 --> 00:01:04,767
He's a vet, he's combat proven
so he don't get shook up easy.
25
00:01:04,767 --> 00:01:06,900
-That's a good thing.
-Oh, yeah, I like that.
26
00:01:06,967 --> 00:01:11,367
He hunkered down
in a mortar crater
for 48 hours enduring fire
27
00:01:11,367 --> 00:01:14,467
-so the rest of his men
could get to safety.
-Wow.
28
00:01:14,467 --> 00:01:17,467
[Digger] That speaks volumes
to me.
29
00:01:17,467 --> 00:01:20,900
You know, Mark's laying low
because of the law enforcement
interaction,
30
00:01:20,967 --> 00:01:23,967
but we're still got to produce
a lot of liquor this year.
31
00:01:23,967 --> 00:01:25,900
I'm not willing to let go
of the reigns yet.
32
00:01:25,967 --> 00:01:27,266
I got a guy in mind
33
00:01:27,266 --> 00:01:28,800
that's gonna
take up the slack.
34
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:30,000
I think I spot him over there.
35
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,300
I think I spot him over there.
36
00:01:32,266 --> 00:01:36,200
That's a bootlegger car look.
[laughs]
37
00:01:36,266 --> 00:01:38,767
-[Digger] Joe Jackson.
-Mr. Digger.
38
00:01:38,767 --> 00:01:41,166
-It's good to see you, sir.
-Thanks for coming down.
39
00:01:41,166 --> 00:01:42,667
[Joe] My name's Joe Jackson.
40
00:01:42,667 --> 00:01:44,967
I was in
the 82nd Airborne Infantry.
41
00:01:44,967 --> 00:01:47,367
I did a couple
of deployments in Afghanistan,
42
00:01:47,367 --> 00:01:49,100
and after I got out
of the military,
43
00:01:49,166 --> 00:01:51,467
in the process
of trying to cope
44
00:01:51,467 --> 00:01:53,166
and kind of figure
my way through life,
45
00:01:53,166 --> 00:01:55,000
I came upon distilling
46
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,500
and ended up applying to be on
the Master Distiller show.
47
00:01:59,667 --> 00:02:00,000
Whoa.
48
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Whoa.
49
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,166
That was smokey,
chocolatey goodness
right there.
50
00:02:04,166 --> 00:02:06,367
-Outstanding.
-Thank you, sir.
51
00:02:06,367 --> 00:02:08,000
I kept in contact with Digger.
52
00:02:08,066 --> 00:02:10,467
Lo and behold,
he shot me a text
53
00:02:10,467 --> 00:02:14,200
and said, "Hey,
do you want to come down here
and help us run some liquor?
54
00:02:14,266 --> 00:02:16,000
We're a little shorthanded."
55
00:02:16,066 --> 00:02:18,300
And he's like,
"I really trust you."
56
00:02:18,367 --> 00:02:21,700
-Man, we are pumped up, man.
-Yeah, let's see what you guys
got going on.
57
00:02:21,767 --> 00:02:23,600
-I saw something in the back
of the truck over there.
-Yeah, we got apples.
58
00:02:23,667 --> 00:02:24,767
-Yeah, we got...
-Check this out.
59
00:02:25,700 --> 00:02:27,166
[Digger] Fall of the year
it's apple season.
60
00:02:27,166 --> 00:02:28,867
That's when
the apples are harvested
61
00:02:28,867 --> 00:02:30,000
and that's when we make
Mark and Digger's
apple moonshine.
62
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,066
and that's when we make
Mark and Digger's
apple moonshine.
63
00:02:31,066 --> 00:02:33,367
That will make
some fine liquor.
64
00:02:33,367 --> 00:02:34,867
This rye apple
65
00:02:34,867 --> 00:02:36,867
is probably one of
the bestselling liquors
of the season.
66
00:02:36,867 --> 00:02:39,100
It's a tried and true recipe
for me and Mark,
67
00:02:39,166 --> 00:02:41,500
but, you know,
you got to change
with the times.
68
00:02:41,567 --> 00:02:44,467
We've got the apples
but we're gonna use
malted rye.
69
00:02:44,467 --> 00:02:46,767
I'm all about
a little experimentation.
70
00:02:46,767 --> 00:02:48,400
[Joe]
Hey, let me show you guys
this brown sugar
71
00:02:48,467 --> 00:02:52,367
I brought down
from my Amish buddy up in PA.
72
00:02:52,367 --> 00:02:54,767
Amish brown sugar,
it's an unrefined sugar
73
00:02:54,767 --> 00:02:59,700
so there's lot more
molasses content
to the actual sugar itself.
74
00:02:59,767 --> 00:03:00,000
Go ahead and get you
a taste of that.
75
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,467
Go ahead and get you
a taste of that.
76
00:03:01,467 --> 00:03:04,266
It gives it more of
a savory mouth feel.
77
00:03:04,266 --> 00:03:05,300
Damn.
78
00:03:05,367 --> 00:03:06,967
More of, like, an umami taste.
79
00:03:06,967 --> 00:03:08,767
I'm gonna tell you...
80
00:03:08,767 --> 00:03:13,100
That brings
a whole different possibility
of what we can do with this.
81
00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:15,100
We used to have
an old moonshine bar.
82
00:03:15,166 --> 00:03:17,567
It was the first moonshine bar
in the United States.
83
00:03:17,567 --> 00:03:19,600
-[Joe chuckling] Really?
-It opened up in 1977,
84
00:03:19,667 --> 00:03:21,567
and we became the purveyors
85
00:03:21,567 --> 00:03:24,467
of all the liquors
that they sold in that place.
86
00:03:24,467 --> 00:03:27,767
The rye apple and the hazelnut
were the biggest two sellers
in that bar.
87
00:03:27,767 --> 00:03:30,000
It's a good recipe
and I don't want
to file it up,
88
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:30,567
It's a good recipe
and I don't want
to file it up,
89
00:03:30,567 --> 00:03:32,767
but sometimes, you know,
change is good.
90
00:03:32,767 --> 00:03:34,166
Here we go.
91
00:03:34,166 --> 00:03:35,667
[Digger] That's why
we're bringing Joe in.
92
00:03:35,667 --> 00:03:37,967
He's got the new ideas,
the new mindset,
93
00:03:37,967 --> 00:03:39,600
and he's also
young and strong.
94
00:03:39,667 --> 00:03:41,600
I think he's gonna make
an excellent addition
95
00:03:41,667 --> 00:03:43,000
to our little team here.
96
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,700
-You need me to help you
with that, Beaz?
-No, I got it.
97
00:03:44,767 --> 00:03:46,467
-Here, let me hold you up.
-[laughs]
98
00:03:46,467 --> 00:03:48,100
-[groans]
-[laughs]
99
00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:49,200
Hey, thanks.
100
00:03:49,266 --> 00:03:50,467
That helped your back, too.
101
00:03:50,467 --> 00:03:52,500
-Yeah, I finally peed.
-You get a good crack?
102
00:03:52,567 --> 00:03:53,867
-[laughs]
-Thank you.
103
00:04:05,867 --> 00:04:07,567
[Richard]
This is Maggie Valley.
104
00:04:07,567 --> 00:04:09,667
-One thing about this area.
-[Craig] What's that?
105
00:04:09,667 --> 00:04:11,967
[Richard]
They love whiskey corn liquor.
106
00:04:11,967 --> 00:04:16,600
We gonna give 'em
some good corn whiskey.
Flood the market out here.
107
00:04:16,667 --> 00:04:19,266
[narrator] In Haywood County,
North Carolina,
108
00:04:19,266 --> 00:04:23,567
after getting their stolen
thump arm elbow back
from Mike and Jerry,
109
00:04:23,567 --> 00:04:27,166
Richard and Craig prepare
to scale up liquor production
110
00:04:27,166 --> 00:04:29,867
to beat their rivals
on their own turf.
111
00:04:29,867 --> 00:04:30,000
[Richard]
I love Maggie Valley.
112
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,400
[Richard]
I love Maggie Valley.
113
00:04:31,467 --> 00:04:33,367
Like, we got a real good
customer base going here,
114
00:04:33,367 --> 00:04:35,100
we're starting to meet
a lot of people here.
115
00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:37,166
Only one problem,
Mike and Jerry.
116
00:04:37,166 --> 00:04:38,700
[chuckles] Damn, I love war.
117
00:04:38,767 --> 00:04:40,667
-You starting one, man. And...
-I ain't starting [bleep.]
118
00:04:40,667 --> 00:04:42,033
You got it started,
we're just gonna
119
00:04:42,033 --> 00:04:43,567
-finish it for you, man.
-I came here to bury
the hatchet, man.
120
00:04:43,567 --> 00:04:44,700
You wanted to shake
my damn hand.
121
00:04:44,767 --> 00:04:46,300
I don't never bury
the damn hatchet.
122
00:04:46,367 --> 00:04:48,000
I keep that son of a bitch
nice and shiny.
123
00:04:49,367 --> 00:04:51,166
[Richard] We're not gonna let
Mike and Jerry stop us.
124
00:04:51,166 --> 00:04:53,500
Number one thing around here
is corn moonshine,
125
00:04:53,567 --> 00:04:56,000
so, I mean, we're going all in
on corn moonshine here.
126
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000
I mean, that's something
that everybody knows,
they love it,
127
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
so we're gonna make sure
we got a whole lot of it.
128
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:00,166
so we're gonna make sure
we got a whole lot of it.
129
00:05:00,166 --> 00:05:02,800
Man, we were mashing
1,000 gallons at a time.
130
00:05:02,867 --> 00:05:04,367
We could keep running
every day...
131
00:05:05,567 --> 00:05:06,667
Just keep going.
132
00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:09,967
If we gonna scale up big
like we thinking,
133
00:05:09,967 --> 00:05:11,567
we're gonna have to have
a lot of sugar.
134
00:05:11,567 --> 00:05:13,867
-[Chris] But we're heading
to Mr. Kelly, right?
-Yep.
135
00:05:13,867 --> 00:05:15,333
We're gonna scale up.
136
00:05:15,333 --> 00:05:17,467
As long as we keep
getting this free sugar
from Mr. Kelly,
137
00:05:17,467 --> 00:05:19,000
I mean, we're just gonna keep
getting bigger and bigger.
138
00:05:20,467 --> 00:05:23,767
What's going on, sir?
Oh, you got that sugar out.
139
00:05:23,767 --> 00:05:25,800
We got that sugar out
ready for you guys.
140
00:05:25,867 --> 00:05:28,266
-How you doing, my man?
That's what we're looking for.
-[Kelly chuckles]
141
00:05:29,300 --> 00:05:30,000
You guys are using
plenty of sugar
142
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:30,467
You guys are using
plenty of sugar
143
00:05:30,467 --> 00:05:32,000
so you must be doing okay.
144
00:05:32,066 --> 00:05:33,467
-We're doing
damn good out there
-We're doing good.
145
00:05:33,467 --> 00:05:34,667
-in Maggie Valley.
-Yeah.
146
00:05:34,667 --> 00:05:36,166
We got a lot of customers
going on over there.
147
00:05:36,166 --> 00:05:37,767
[Kelly] Well, I told you
from the get go,
148
00:05:37,767 --> 00:05:39,500
as long as you're
taking Mike's customers
149
00:05:39,567 --> 00:05:40,867
I'm good
with giving it to you.
150
00:05:40,867 --> 00:05:43,100
If you can keep us up
with the sugar, man,
151
00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:45,166
Mike will be good as gone.
152
00:05:45,166 --> 00:05:47,200
Kelly is doing this
100% for vengeance.
153
00:05:47,266 --> 00:05:48,867
He's getting his payback
on Mike Cockrell
154
00:05:48,867 --> 00:05:51,467
and he doesn't have
to lift a finger to do it.
155
00:05:51,467 --> 00:05:55,200
Tell me something.
I mean, is that all the sugar
we got right here?
156
00:05:55,266 --> 00:05:57,467
Man, I've got plenty of sugar.
157
00:05:57,467 --> 00:06:00,000
You keep worrying about that
so let me ease your mind.
Let's go.
158
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,700
You keep worrying about that
so let me ease your mind.
Let's go.
159
00:06:01,767 --> 00:06:03,367
[Richard] I figure
we can really take over
160
00:06:03,367 --> 00:06:05,300
if we got enough sugar
to keep doing this.
161
00:06:05,367 --> 00:06:09,200
-I don't believe that you will
use all this sugar in a while.
-[Richard chuckles]
162
00:06:09,266 --> 00:06:12,667
He's got enough sugar in there
to crystalize the world
it looks like.
163
00:06:12,667 --> 00:06:16,667
I don't think anybody
can corner the market on sugar
any better than I have.
164
00:06:16,667 --> 00:06:19,700
Let's load you guys up
and get you down the road.
165
00:06:19,767 --> 00:06:20,867
[Richard] I think this plan
is gonna work.
166
00:06:20,867 --> 00:06:22,367
Everything is falling
right into place.
167
00:06:22,367 --> 00:06:23,867
[Kelly] You might as well
open it wide.
168
00:06:23,867 --> 00:06:26,066
-There you go. [chuckles]
-[Richard] There you go.
Like that.
169
00:06:26,066 --> 00:06:27,033
[Richard]
Kelly said it's okay,
170
00:06:27,033 --> 00:06:28,700
we can have
all the sugar we need
171
00:06:28,767 --> 00:06:30,000
as long as we're using it
to run Mike and Jerry
out of town
172
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,166
as long as we're using it
to run Mike and Jerry
out of town
173
00:06:32,166 --> 00:06:34,600
and just sell liquor
to their customers.
174
00:06:34,667 --> 00:06:37,767
So, my plan is
to get this sugar to the woods
and starting mashing it,
175
00:06:37,767 --> 00:06:39,066
and we're gonna just keep
repeating the process.
176
00:06:39,066 --> 00:06:40,567
We're gonna keep
running around the clock.
177
00:06:40,567 --> 00:06:41,533
We're not gonna stop.
178
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,100
We're going and mashing
20 barrels of mash.
179
00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:49,000
Sounds like
a great plan, guys.
Good luck with it.
180
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,100
1,000 gallons.
We'll give you some
on the back end.
181
00:06:51,166 --> 00:06:52,634
[chuckles] I like it.
182
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,000
[Mike] It got colder than
a damn well digger's ice
in Idaho out here.
183
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,967
Can't believe
we're fixing to mash in
as cold as it is, Jerry.
184
00:07:11,967 --> 00:07:14,200
[Jerry] We ain't got no choice
but to be here, remember?
185
00:07:14,266 --> 00:07:16,467
This is our time to shine
and get ahead of them.
186
00:07:19,100 --> 00:07:22,166
It's pretty damn clear to me
it's too damn cold to mash in
right now.
187
00:07:22,166 --> 00:07:24,367
Son, it is cold, cold here,
for sure.
188
00:07:24,367 --> 00:07:27,066
[sighing] Oh,
my damn feet and hands
are telling a tale.
189
00:07:27,066 --> 00:07:28,967
-[whistles]
-Look at that damn bucket
right there, Jerry.
190
00:07:28,967 --> 00:07:30,000
-That thing's solid ice.
-[Mike] Look.
191
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:30,867
-That thing's solid ice.
-[Mike] Look.
192
00:07:30,867 --> 00:07:33,667
[Mike] You know, the good news
is Richard and Craig's
from the Deep South.
193
00:07:33,667 --> 00:07:36,600
They don't have no damn idea
what to do in this kind
of cold weather.
194
00:07:36,667 --> 00:07:39,000
That's a half inch
of solid ice right there.
195
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,500
You know, if Richard and Craig
shut down for the winter
196
00:07:41,567 --> 00:07:43,367
everybody's gonna come back
to me and Jerry
197
00:07:43,367 --> 00:07:44,700
and they going to be
wanting our liquor.
198
00:07:44,767 --> 00:07:46,166
Hold this a second.
199
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,166
-For what?
-It's cold.
200
00:07:49,166 --> 00:07:51,000
-Well, [bleep] listen to this.
-[chuckles]
201
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,066
Well, I'm gonna tell you what,
202
00:07:53,066 --> 00:07:54,400
under normal circumstances
203
00:07:54,467 --> 00:07:57,367
-ain't nobody gonna try
to mash in today.
-No.
204
00:07:57,367 --> 00:07:59,667
Only thing we can do
is if we turn that boiler on
205
00:07:59,667 --> 00:08:00,000
and get it good and hot,
206
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:00,600
and get it good and hot,
207
00:08:00,667 --> 00:08:01,700
and let the steam
run through that,
208
00:08:01,767 --> 00:08:02,867
it's gonna keep it warm enough
209
00:08:02,867 --> 00:08:04,066
-to keep that mash hot, right?
-It'll keep...
210
00:08:04,066 --> 00:08:05,300
Yeah, but who's gonna be here
211
00:08:05,367 --> 00:08:07,667
to change out gas bottles
and camp out with it?
212
00:08:07,667 --> 00:08:10,367
Because I ain't coming up here
two or three times a day
for a week
213
00:08:10,367 --> 00:08:12,500
just to make sure
that our mash is working off.
214
00:08:12,567 --> 00:08:15,367
At the end of the day,
we ain't made no money
this summer, man.
215
00:08:15,367 --> 00:08:16,634
We can't give up now
216
00:08:16,667 --> 00:08:18,000
-or we're not gonna make none
this winter either.
-No.
217
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,300
You know as well as I do,
218
00:08:19,367 --> 00:08:20,467
Richard and Craig
being from the deep south,
219
00:08:20,467 --> 00:08:21,667
they're not gonna handle
this kind of weather.
220
00:08:21,667 --> 00:08:22,800
They're not gonna be out here
221
00:08:22,867 --> 00:08:23,967
-doing this kind of crap.
-No, they're not.
222
00:08:23,967 --> 00:08:26,467
But you know what?
We can, we will, we are.
223
00:08:26,467 --> 00:08:28,667
I don't know what the hell
we're gonna do, man.
224
00:08:28,667 --> 00:08:30,000
I got some ideas stirring.
225
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:30,166
I got some ideas stirring.
226
00:08:30,166 --> 00:08:34,100
I mean, I know if we
light that burner periodically
227
00:08:34,100 --> 00:08:36,066
and let it pump
a little bit of steam over
into that pot
228
00:08:36,066 --> 00:08:38,467
it's gonna keep it warm enough
to keep that mash working.
229
00:08:38,467 --> 00:08:39,667
I know that, you know that.
230
00:08:39,667 --> 00:08:41,200
Like I said,
we'll put a timer on it.
231
00:08:41,266 --> 00:08:43,667
If we had a timer
we can set it on a timer
and let it just roll.
232
00:08:43,667 --> 00:08:45,266
-Yeah.
-But, of course,
we don't have electricity
233
00:08:45,266 --> 00:08:47,266
so give me a little time
to think.
234
00:08:47,266 --> 00:08:50,100
I mean, I've got some ideas
turning through my head
235
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:52,567
but I got to figure out
how to put 'em all together.
236
00:09:03,367 --> 00:09:04,667
[Joe] I like bumpy rides.
237
00:09:04,667 --> 00:09:06,200
-[Digger] Well then,
you're in for a treat.
-[Joe chuckles]
238
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,100
-Woo, here we are!
-Joe, I'm looking forward
to getting you acclimated
239
00:09:10,166 --> 00:09:12,767
to a little bit
larger process.
240
00:09:12,767 --> 00:09:16,867
This is leaps and bounds
[laughing] from my process.
241
00:09:16,867 --> 00:09:22,100
-Welcome to moonshine heaven.
-Moonshine heaven.
[laughing] Oh, man.
242
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:27,266
This is Joe's first trip
to a true back woods
moonshine operation.
243
00:09:27,266 --> 00:09:28,600
[chuckles]
244
00:09:28,667 --> 00:09:30,000
And I mean he looks like
a kid in a candy store.
245
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:30,567
And I mean he looks like
a kid in a candy store.
246
00:09:30,567 --> 00:09:33,367
His eyes get big
and he's just all about it.
247
00:09:33,367 --> 00:09:37,567
This is our 300 gallon still.
That's our 200 gallon still.
248
00:09:37,567 --> 00:09:38,967
[Beaz] The twin.
249
00:09:38,967 --> 00:09:40,767
[Joe] This is my first time
running with the big dogs.
250
00:09:40,767 --> 00:09:43,667
You know, I have been used
to running on
an eight gallon still.
251
00:09:43,667 --> 00:09:45,300
I want to scale up
252
00:09:45,367 --> 00:09:48,567
and run it
on these big stills,
this big operation.
253
00:09:48,567 --> 00:09:50,867
Getting out here
into the woods
254
00:09:50,867 --> 00:09:53,200
is taking the next step
of my distilling journey.
255
00:09:53,266 --> 00:09:55,600
Let's get her unloaded, guys.
256
00:09:55,667 --> 00:09:58,800
Yeah, we can't get finished
if we don't get started.
257
00:09:58,867 --> 00:10:00,000
We're gonna make a version
of our world famous
rye apple moonshine
258
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,166
We're gonna make a version
of our world famous
rye apple moonshine
259
00:10:03,166 --> 00:10:04,700
but it's gonna be
a new version of it.
260
00:10:04,767 --> 00:10:06,467
Number one,
we're gonna be using
malted rye,
261
00:10:06,467 --> 00:10:08,100
which was Beaz's idea,
262
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:10,667
and we've got brown sugar
that Joe sourced
263
00:10:10,667 --> 00:10:13,266
from a local farmer
in his area.
264
00:10:13,266 --> 00:10:14,567
[Digger]
Here's what's gonna happen.
265
00:10:14,567 --> 00:10:16,800
Get that fire lit,
get that water heating up,
266
00:10:16,867 --> 00:10:18,767
and then we're gonna be
ready to rock,
and then boom.
267
00:10:20,066 --> 00:10:21,667
[Joe] I lost
a little bit of hair
on that one.
268
00:10:21,667 --> 00:10:23,200
-[Digger] Welcome
to the club, brother.
-[laughs]
269
00:10:23,266 --> 00:10:26,600
Every year, people go crazy
over this rye apple moonshine.
270
00:10:26,667 --> 00:10:29,266
We never have enough
so we're gonna
ramp up production.
271
00:10:29,266 --> 00:10:30,000
We're gonna mash in
two of the big pots,
272
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,367
We're gonna mash in
two of the big pots,
273
00:10:31,367 --> 00:10:33,567
we're gonna ferment
in the pots themselves,
274
00:10:33,567 --> 00:10:37,166
and we'll make one barrel
which will go into
the little stainless pot.
275
00:10:37,166 --> 00:10:40,200
I think we're pretty full up
on water here, Digger.
276
00:10:40,266 --> 00:10:43,266
Take it up and take it to Beaz
and he'll start filling
that one up.
277
00:10:43,266 --> 00:10:46,867
All these people that go nuts
over this rye apple moonshine
every year,
278
00:10:46,867 --> 00:10:49,000
hopefully it just
pulls them in deeper.
279
00:10:51,767 --> 00:10:54,800
What you got to do, Joe,
bust these up in half.
280
00:10:54,867 --> 00:10:56,900
Sometimes you have to take
that little stick
281
00:10:56,967 --> 00:10:58,367
that I procured for you
right there
282
00:10:58,367 --> 00:10:59,667
-and kind of rake 'em over.
-Ah-hah.
283
00:11:01,266 --> 00:11:03,200
But, here we go.
284
00:11:04,567 --> 00:11:05,900
[machine starts]
285
00:11:05,967 --> 00:11:08,166
We need your stick,
first and foremost,
right off the bat.
286
00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:14,200
-Boom.
-[Joe] There we go.
287
00:11:14,266 --> 00:11:16,066
-I think I'm in business, man.
-I think you are.
288
00:11:16,066 --> 00:11:17,667
-[chuckling] Thank you, sir.
-All right, man,
289
00:11:17,667 --> 00:11:19,215
-I'm gonna go over
and get started on that rye.
-That sounds great.
290
00:11:19,215 --> 00:11:20,166
-I'm gonna go over
and get started on that rye.
-That sounds great.
291
00:11:20,166 --> 00:11:22,467
Joe is bringing
an extra set of hands
292
00:11:22,467 --> 00:11:24,400
we desperately need
in Mark's absence,
293
00:11:24,467 --> 00:11:28,467
but even beyond that,
those fresh ideas.
294
00:11:28,467 --> 00:11:32,100
And who knows,
maybe this will garner
a new client base.
295
00:11:32,166 --> 00:11:35,100
The rye apple
has always been a great seller
for me and Mark,
296
00:11:35,166 --> 00:11:37,967
but people's palates change
and you got to change
with them.
297
00:11:37,967 --> 00:11:39,266
You got to bring 'em
something new.
298
00:11:39,266 --> 00:11:42,266
You sit static too long
you'll lose your client base.
299
00:11:42,266 --> 00:11:45,266
We're really proud
of our old rye apple recipe
300
00:11:45,266 --> 00:11:46,967
but this is gonna make it
even better,
301
00:11:46,967 --> 00:11:49,215
and that's gonna be
some high quality liquor
right there.
302
00:11:49,215 --> 00:11:50,100
and that's gonna be
some high quality liquor
right there.
303
00:11:51,066 --> 00:11:52,567
You act like
you done this before.
304
00:11:52,567 --> 00:11:54,166
Never done this before.
305
00:11:55,667 --> 00:11:58,767
Matter of fact,
I was an apprentice embalmer.
306
00:11:58,767 --> 00:12:04,500
That's one of the things
Digger and I have in common
is we've both embalmed.
307
00:12:04,567 --> 00:12:07,000
[Joe] So you're good
at draining juice, right?
308
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,066
-[Beaz] Sometimes.
-[Joe chuckles]
309
00:12:09,066 --> 00:12:12,367
-[Joe] Man, this malted rye
smells really freakin' good.
-Isn't it amazing?
310
00:12:12,367 --> 00:12:13,700
-You see those foam bubbles?
-Yep.
311
00:12:13,767 --> 00:12:16,500
You can already see it using
its own diastatic power
312
00:12:16,567 --> 00:12:17,867
to try and convert itself.
313
00:12:17,867 --> 00:12:19,215
That's what we had to do
in the old days,
314
00:12:19,215 --> 00:12:19,500
That's what we had to do
in the old days,
315
00:12:19,567 --> 00:12:21,400
-had to convert ourselves.
-[laughs]
316
00:12:21,467 --> 00:12:22,667
-That big power,
-[laughing]
You had to convert...
317
00:12:22,667 --> 00:12:25,200
that's what this great nation
was built on, Joe.
318
00:12:25,266 --> 00:12:26,467
Bring me home.
319
00:12:26,467 --> 00:12:28,400
Let's get all this
slopping sloppy over here.
320
00:12:30,367 --> 00:12:31,266
[groans]
321
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:34,300
[Digger]
Just let her drip down.
322
00:12:34,367 --> 00:12:36,767
It'll fall
right where it needs to.
323
00:12:36,767 --> 00:12:40,000
-Look how much liquid
has come out of that.
-I know, right?
324
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,467
It's like them apples just
turned into water on us.
325
00:12:45,667 --> 00:12:47,667
[Digger] Looks like mash
is supposed to right there.
326
00:12:47,667 --> 00:12:49,215
-It's time to sweeten it in.
-[groans softly]
327
00:12:49,215 --> 00:12:50,166
-It's time to sweeten it in.
-[groans softly]
328
00:12:50,166 --> 00:12:53,667
Brown sugar
is really different
than granulated sugar, Beaz.
329
00:12:53,667 --> 00:12:55,367
Especially this
Amish brown sugar.
330
00:12:55,367 --> 00:12:57,367
[Digger]
Yeah, it just gives it
a more earthy note.
331
00:12:57,367 --> 00:13:00,400
-It's more of a rum
that you can get out of it.
-Mmm-hmm.
332
00:13:00,467 --> 00:13:03,266
It's not been
completely refined
like cane sugar.
333
00:13:03,266 --> 00:13:05,600
It's got a lot
of that molasses left in it
334
00:13:05,667 --> 00:13:07,467
-so it clumps together.
-[Joe] Mmm-hmm.
335
00:13:08,567 --> 00:13:10,166
Like that last mole
in the tunnel,
336
00:13:10,166 --> 00:13:14,000
-all I smell is molasses.
-[laughs]
337
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,767
Let's go over
and get this barrel.
It's the only one left.
338
00:13:16,767 --> 00:13:19,166
-We need
some brown sugar and it.
-Let's do it.
339
00:13:19,166 --> 00:13:19,215
Here we go.
340
00:13:19,215 --> 00:13:20,166
Here we go.
341
00:13:20,166 --> 00:13:22,166
We've got the two pots
mashed in,
342
00:13:22,166 --> 00:13:23,266
we've got a barrel built...
343
00:13:23,266 --> 00:13:24,667
Smells good.
344
00:13:24,667 --> 00:13:27,266
[Digger]
Now it's gonna be time
to pitch the yeast
345
00:13:27,266 --> 00:13:29,000
and wait on
the magic to happen.
346
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,600
-All right.
-[Digger] Well, guys,
we're running out of daylight.
347
00:13:35,667 --> 00:13:36,867
-[Beaz] Let's do it.
-[engine starts]
348
00:13:38,367 --> 00:13:40,100
[Digger]
I'm really pleased with Joe.
349
00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:41,667
Number one,
he's a hard worker,
350
00:13:41,667 --> 00:13:43,467
and number two,
he knows a lot about liquor.
351
00:13:44,667 --> 00:13:47,200
I know he's not used
to a big operation like this.
352
00:13:47,266 --> 00:13:49,215
That being said,
he's took to it
like a duck in water
353
00:13:49,215 --> 00:13:50,367
That being said,
he's took to it
like a duck in water
354
00:13:50,367 --> 00:13:54,467
and I think he's gonna be
a good add.
355
00:13:54,467 --> 00:13:56,700
All right, Beaz,
make sure you put
that thing to bed
356
00:13:56,767 --> 00:13:57,767
after you drop Joe off.
357
00:13:57,767 --> 00:13:59,367
-[groans softly]
-[engine starts]
358
00:14:07,266 --> 00:14:09,967
Sorry, boss,
today ain't no ride-along day.
359
00:14:09,967 --> 00:14:11,767
I got to go do something
for Mark.
360
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,667
[Mike] It's too damn cold,
that's for sure.
361
00:14:29,667 --> 00:14:32,000
I believe our little idea
is gonna solve
all that problem.
362
00:14:32,066 --> 00:14:34,867
So, let's work your magic
and show me
what you got in mind.
363
00:14:34,867 --> 00:14:37,266
I know you always
got something
up that old sleeve.
364
00:14:37,266 --> 00:14:39,967
There's no way that mash
could ever work off
in this kind of weather.
365
00:14:39,967 --> 00:14:42,166
Yeast prefers
a certain type of temperature.
366
00:14:42,166 --> 00:14:44,467
If it gets down there
below 60 degrees
367
00:14:44,467 --> 00:14:46,367
it's just gonna go dormant,
go to sleep on you.
368
00:14:46,367 --> 00:14:49,215
So, my idea is
we're gonna take a thermostat.
369
00:14:49,215 --> 00:14:49,867
So, my idea is
we're gonna take a thermostat.
370
00:14:49,867 --> 00:14:52,967
We're actually gonna power
the control box,
371
00:14:52,967 --> 00:14:55,166
it'll actually
cut the gas off and on.
372
00:14:55,166 --> 00:14:58,967
[narrator]
Jerry's plan is to use
a salvaged thermostat
373
00:14:58,967 --> 00:15:01,100
to make an automated
heating system
374
00:15:01,166 --> 00:15:05,400
that will keep mash
at an optimal temperature
for fermentation.
375
00:15:05,467 --> 00:15:10,166
When the temperature
of the mash drops
below 65 degrees Fahrenheit,
376
00:15:10,166 --> 00:15:12,900
the thermostat triggers
a relay switch
377
00:15:12,967 --> 00:15:17,500
which opens a gas valve
and ignites the burner
with an electric spark.
378
00:15:17,567 --> 00:15:19,215
Once the mash reaches
80 degrees Fahrenheit
379
00:15:19,215 --> 00:15:20,667
Once the mash reaches
80 degrees Fahrenheit
380
00:15:20,667 --> 00:15:24,166
the thermostat
triggers the gas
shut-off valve.
381
00:15:24,166 --> 00:15:27,100
To charge the battery
that runs the system,
382
00:15:27,166 --> 00:15:32,867
Jerry plans to improvise
a water powered generator
from an old hoverboard motor.
383
00:15:32,867 --> 00:15:35,367
Let me just take
this control board out,
384
00:15:35,367 --> 00:15:36,667
[clears throat]
Take the whole...
385
00:15:36,667 --> 00:15:38,900
-which is the important part.
-Yeah.
386
00:15:38,967 --> 00:15:41,367
Got an old hot water heater
and a hoverboard
387
00:15:41,367 --> 00:15:43,066
and we're gonna
make this system work.
388
00:15:43,066 --> 00:15:45,367
Take this igniter off
and I need this gas valve off.
389
00:15:45,367 --> 00:15:46,967
I guess you could say
I'm kind of a parts hoarder.
390
00:15:46,967 --> 00:15:48,367
You just never know
when you might have
391
00:15:48,367 --> 00:15:49,215
to grab a part
and use it for something.
392
00:15:49,215 --> 00:15:50,100
to grab a part
and use it for something.
393
00:15:50,166 --> 00:15:52,266
In order to beat
Richard and Craig
394
00:15:52,266 --> 00:15:55,300
-we got to run liquor
all damn winter, don't we?
-That's for a fact.
395
00:15:55,367 --> 00:15:57,166
You know them men
are from Louisiana
396
00:15:57,166 --> 00:16:00,967
so they ain't brewing
no damn liquor
in the middle of winter.
397
00:16:00,967 --> 00:16:04,100
[Mike] If I'm a betting man,
I think Richard and Craig's
dead in the water.
398
00:16:04,100 --> 00:16:06,367
They simply just don't know
how to react
399
00:16:06,367 --> 00:16:08,367
and what to do
in this type of cold weather.
400
00:16:08,367 --> 00:16:10,000
That gives me and Jerry
a leg up.
401
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,600
We've been here,
we've done that,
and got a damn t-shirt for it.
402
00:16:14,767 --> 00:16:15,967
That's our thermostat.
403
00:16:15,967 --> 00:16:18,066
So, we'll just basically
set it to what we want it.
404
00:16:18,066 --> 00:16:19,215
But we got
a little thermostat prober
right here.
405
00:16:19,215 --> 00:16:20,266
But we got
a little thermostat prober
right here.
406
00:16:20,266 --> 00:16:21,600
This'll actually pull out.
407
00:16:21,667 --> 00:16:23,367
[Mike]
That'll go into the pot.
408
00:16:23,367 --> 00:16:26,000
You know,
all this is Jerry's idea.
It's a little bit crazy.
409
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,000
This will actually
send the power,
410
00:16:28,066 --> 00:16:31,767
via the wire to that, to here,
open the gas valve,
411
00:16:31,767 --> 00:16:34,266
and then it'll send sparks
to the burner, shh, shh.
412
00:16:34,266 --> 00:16:37,367
-Boom. That's running.
-Yeah, that's...
413
00:16:37,367 --> 00:16:40,066
So, a whole lot
of little bitty components
has got to work together...
414
00:16:41,667 --> 00:16:43,667
But if it works out
it's gonna be pretty genius.
415
00:16:43,667 --> 00:16:46,000
-Hard to believe
there's a motor in that.
-I'm telling you.
416
00:16:46,066 --> 00:16:49,215
That's basically the way
the electric cars are,
pretty much.
417
00:16:49,215 --> 00:16:49,367
That's basically the way
the electric cars are,
pretty much.
418
00:16:49,367 --> 00:16:51,567
Just got a wheel
with a motor in it.
419
00:16:51,567 --> 00:16:53,266
[Mike] I'll stick with
old American muscle.
420
00:16:53,266 --> 00:16:55,467
-Gas in your tank, huh?
-Yeah, boy.
421
00:16:55,467 --> 00:16:57,100
You know,
each one of these wheels
is a motor.
422
00:16:57,166 --> 00:16:59,600
Actually,
we're already turning
three volts a turn.
423
00:16:59,667 --> 00:17:02,100
[Jerry] You know, basically,
if we can get this wheel
turning fast enough
424
00:17:02,100 --> 00:17:03,567
we can just charge our battery
right up with it.
425
00:17:09,467 --> 00:17:10,500
[Mike] It's working.
426
00:17:11,900 --> 00:17:13,467
Got ten out of it, didn't we?
427
00:17:13,467 --> 00:17:15,767
-Giving us 12 volts.
-We'll get our bicycle wheel
set up
428
00:17:15,767 --> 00:17:19,100
and then
we get this thing mounted,
I can do a test drive on it.
429
00:17:19,166 --> 00:17:19,215
Let's go get a damn bicycle.
430
00:17:19,215 --> 00:17:21,200
Let's go get a damn bicycle.
431
00:17:21,266 --> 00:17:23,767
[Mike] Jerry's got an old
rusted up bicycle
432
00:17:23,767 --> 00:17:25,567
out on the trailer
behind the shop here.
433
00:17:25,567 --> 00:17:27,767
Just gonna get it,
and start taking wheels
off of it,
434
00:17:27,767 --> 00:17:30,867
and go, you know,
build a damn water wheel
out of it.
435
00:17:30,867 --> 00:17:33,000
Put some soup cans on it.
436
00:17:33,066 --> 00:17:35,000
[Jerry] Well, soup cans it is.
437
00:17:42,467 --> 00:17:45,567
[Richard] We got 20 barrels
back there, right?
438
00:17:45,567 --> 00:17:48,266
-Now we got
to mash all of 'em in.
-We about to do it.
439
00:17:48,266 --> 00:17:49,215
We're gonna mash in
1,000 gallons today.
440
00:17:49,215 --> 00:17:50,667
We're gonna mash in
1,000 gallons today.
441
00:17:50,667 --> 00:17:52,567
We're gonna flood the market
in Maggie Valley
442
00:17:52,567 --> 00:17:54,500
with as much liquor
as we possibly can.
443
00:17:54,567 --> 00:17:57,400
[Richard] I love it
when a plan comes together.
444
00:17:57,467 --> 00:17:59,567
All right, man,
the work begins.
445
00:17:59,567 --> 00:18:01,266
-It's cold out here.
-I'm gonna grab
my little jacket.
446
00:18:01,266 --> 00:18:03,266
Man, look at this.
447
00:18:04,867 --> 00:18:07,066
-It's that cold out here?
-It's cold.
448
00:18:07,066 --> 00:18:08,667
This is too much ice
to run a mash
449
00:18:08,667 --> 00:18:10,867
in these damn woods.
450
00:18:10,867 --> 00:18:11,600
[Richard] Where we're from,
451
00:18:11,667 --> 00:18:12,867
we don't even think about
452
00:18:12,867 --> 00:18:13,867
temperatures getting
this cold.
453
00:18:13,867 --> 00:18:15,200
I didn't see this coming.
454
00:18:15,266 --> 00:18:17,166
I did not think
winter would come this quick.
455
00:18:17,166 --> 00:18:19,215
Man, we were
coming in here today
to run 1,000 gallons.
456
00:18:19,215 --> 00:18:19,500
Man, we were
coming in here today
to run 1,000 gallons.
457
00:18:19,567 --> 00:18:21,367
We got money
in barrels and corn.
458
00:18:22,367 --> 00:18:23,800
We've spent
all our money on this.
459
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,266
-We got to.
Ain't no if, and, or but.
-Let's not waste it, yeah.
460
00:18:25,266 --> 00:18:27,467
We're gonna have
to find somewhere
where we can go inside.
461
00:18:27,467 --> 00:18:30,767
I say we just get out of here,
go make some phone calls.
462
00:18:30,767 --> 00:18:32,266
We ain't got
no cellphone reception here
463
00:18:32,266 --> 00:18:33,400
so we got to get down
the mountain.
464
00:18:33,467 --> 00:18:34,467
[Richard] This mash
would never work off.
465
00:18:34,500 --> 00:18:37,166
It would be spring time
before it worked off.
466
00:18:37,166 --> 00:18:38,367
We're losing money right now.
467
00:18:38,367 --> 00:18:39,767
We got to find
an indoor space to mash in.
468
00:18:39,767 --> 00:18:43,100
-We just can't
mash this in outside.
-[phone ringing]
469
00:18:44,567 --> 00:18:46,367
-[Kelly] Richard?
-[Richard] Mr. Kelly.
470
00:18:46,367 --> 00:18:47,800
[Kelly] What's going on?
471
00:18:47,867 --> 00:18:49,215
Well, I'm trying
to get some mash to work
472
00:18:49,215 --> 00:18:50,100
Well, I'm trying
to get some mash to work
473
00:18:50,166 --> 00:18:52,100
and it's too cold around here
to do that.
474
00:18:52,166 --> 00:18:54,767
-I got to find me a spot
where I can mash indoors.
-[Kelly] Uh-huh.
475
00:18:54,767 --> 00:18:57,367
[Kelly] Yeah,
let me think a second.
476
00:18:59,767 --> 00:19:02,066
I mean,
I know some folks over there.
477
00:19:02,066 --> 00:19:03,567
I'll holler back at you
here shortly.
478
00:19:03,567 --> 00:19:07,066
-We sure appreciate it, sir.
-Hey, man, you're welcome.
479
00:19:07,066 --> 00:19:09,100
-[phone beeps]
-We're gonna see what he says
480
00:19:09,100 --> 00:19:11,200
because there ain't no way
we can do nothing right now.
481
00:19:11,266 --> 00:19:12,700
Man.
482
00:19:14,166 --> 00:19:16,700
[cell phone ringing]
483
00:19:16,767 --> 00:19:17,767
-[phone beeps]
-[Richard] Kelly.
484
00:19:17,767 --> 00:19:19,567
[Kelly] Hey, Richard.
485
00:19:19,567 --> 00:19:23,100
So, I've got a buddy
who's got a good size garage.
486
00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:25,266
It's a pretty nice place
and it's down ahead.
487
00:19:25,266 --> 00:19:28,600
Well, that's what
we need right there.
That sounds like a blessing.
488
00:19:28,667 --> 00:19:31,000
So, Kelly gets back to us
and it's good news.
489
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,667
[Kelly] He's always game
to do a little something
490
00:19:33,667 --> 00:19:36,600
-if he can make
a dollar or two.
-I love that.
491
00:19:36,667 --> 00:19:38,967
His buddy said,
"Yep, y'all can use
the garage."
492
00:19:40,166 --> 00:19:42,567
He only wants 15%
of what we make overall.
493
00:19:42,567 --> 00:19:43,685
Small price to pay
for having a heated garage
494
00:19:43,685 --> 00:19:45,066
Small price to pay
for having a heated garage
495
00:19:45,066 --> 00:19:47,767
where we can run mash
all winter long.
496
00:19:47,767 --> 00:19:49,033
So, this is the place.
497
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,467
-It's nice.
-Guy said he'd leave
the garage door opener
498
00:19:52,467 --> 00:19:54,100
on the propane tank.
499
00:19:55,900 --> 00:19:58,166
-Oh, man. This is perfect.
-Whoa.
500
00:19:58,166 --> 00:20:00,400
We'll be able to do
everything we got to do
in here.
501
00:20:00,467 --> 00:20:02,300
Line mash barrels up
right there.
502
00:20:02,367 --> 00:20:03,700
This changes the game.
503
00:20:03,767 --> 00:20:06,200
Let's get these barrels
and start getting them
in here.
504
00:20:06,266 --> 00:20:09,600
[Richard] We're gonna mash in
1,000 gallons today,
20 barrels of liquor.
505
00:20:09,667 --> 00:20:12,367
This is the biggest operation
we've ever had going on
at one time.
506
00:20:12,367 --> 00:20:13,685
I mean, this is a lot of mash.
We've never done
1,000 gallons before.
507
00:20:13,685 --> 00:20:16,200
I mean, this is a lot of mash.
We've never done
1,000 gallons before.
508
00:20:18,266 --> 00:20:19,767
This is good to go.
509
00:20:19,767 --> 00:20:21,266
[Richard] We're gonna just use
white corn,
510
00:20:21,266 --> 00:20:24,867
our clear sugar
we get from Mr. Kelly,
and some good water.
511
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,867
So, we're gonna have
to work this thing
just like an assembly line.
512
00:20:28,867 --> 00:20:31,166
We're gonna have to do one,
move to the other.
513
00:20:31,166 --> 00:20:32,266
It's gonna take a while
to do this.
514
00:20:33,567 --> 00:20:35,100
You gotta keep stirring.
515
00:20:36,166 --> 00:20:38,667
So the secret to this is
steeping the corn definitely,
516
00:20:38,667 --> 00:20:40,266
make sure it doesn't
clump up on you,
517
00:20:40,266 --> 00:20:42,967
keep stirring, keep stirring,
keep stirring.
518
00:20:42,967 --> 00:20:43,685
Got a lot of stirring
and a lot of boiling
to do today.
519
00:20:43,685 --> 00:20:45,600
Got a lot of stirring
and a lot of boiling
to do today.
520
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,266
We're almost out of corn, man.
521
00:21:00,100 --> 00:21:01,467
Good thing we're on
the last one.
522
00:21:01,467 --> 00:21:03,800
Kinda tough doing 20 barrels,
523
00:21:03,867 --> 00:21:05,867
kinda forget
where you've been.
524
00:21:05,867 --> 00:21:07,367
-You know what I mean?
-[Richard] I know.
525
00:21:07,367 --> 00:21:09,000
Starting to get tired too.
526
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,400
[Richard] In each one
of these barrels we have
527
00:21:11,467 --> 00:21:12,667
10 gallons of liquid sugar,
528
00:21:13,467 --> 00:21:13,685
and we have 50 pounds of corn.
529
00:21:13,685 --> 00:21:16,066
and we have 50 pounds of corn.
530
00:21:16,066 --> 00:21:18,400
Yesterday we were gonna
just be out in the woods
531
00:21:18,467 --> 00:21:21,166
trying to keep the mash warm.
532
00:21:21,166 --> 00:21:23,200
So we got 1,000 gallons
of corn mashed in.
533
00:21:23,266 --> 00:21:24,600
We're gonna pitch our yeast,
534
00:21:24,667 --> 00:21:26,667
let this settle for
a little while,
535
00:21:26,667 --> 00:21:29,066
come back and check on it
in a few days.
536
00:21:29,066 --> 00:21:31,600
We're finally making our mark
here in Maggie Valley.
537
00:21:31,667 --> 00:21:32,767
This right here,
538
00:21:32,767 --> 00:21:35,166
this is the run that's gonna
start the takeover.
539
00:21:35,166 --> 00:21:36,467
We're sitting on top here.
540
00:21:36,467 --> 00:21:38,266
I mean, we got
an infinite supply of sugar.
541
00:21:38,266 --> 00:21:41,367
Mr. Kelly's got more sugar
than I can use in 10 years.
542
00:21:41,367 --> 00:21:43,100
After we get
this stuff on the market,
543
00:21:43,166 --> 00:21:43,685
Maggie Valley's gonna be ours.
544
00:21:43,685 --> 00:21:45,266
Maggie Valley's gonna be ours.
545
00:21:45,266 --> 00:21:48,000
Mike and Jerry ain't gonna
know what hit them.
546
00:21:48,066 --> 00:21:49,967
I didn't come here to play,
came here to win.
547
00:21:49,967 --> 00:21:51,100
[Craig laughing]
548
00:22:00,900 --> 00:22:04,000
You know why a bicycle
can't stand on its own?
549
00:22:04,066 --> 00:22:05,800
-I don't know, tell me.
-It's too tired.
550
00:22:05,867 --> 00:22:07,567
[both laughing]
551
00:22:07,567 --> 00:22:08,867
[Jerry] My son gave me
his old bicycle,
552
00:22:08,867 --> 00:22:11,166
he said it wasn't no good,
chain was all rusted up on it,
553
00:22:11,166 --> 00:22:12,367
but it has two good
wheels on it.
554
00:22:12,367 --> 00:22:13,500
Here, you gonna
set it up here now?
555
00:22:13,567 --> 00:22:13,685
Yeah, we can put it up here
on the table like that.
556
00:22:13,685 --> 00:22:15,400
Yeah, we can put it up here
on the table like that.
557
00:22:15,467 --> 00:22:17,000
I got a table for a reason.
558
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,066
So we're gonna
use the wheels on it
559
00:22:19,066 --> 00:22:20,300
to make a water wheel.
560
00:22:20,367 --> 00:22:22,367
[Mike] I wonder how many
dad gum times, Jerry,
561
00:22:22,367 --> 00:22:24,800
in our lifetime,
we took a dad gum tire
off of a bicycle.
562
00:22:24,867 --> 00:22:26,367
[Jerry] Oh, God. All right.
563
00:22:27,567 --> 00:22:28,667
[Mike] There, we'll set this
564
00:22:28,667 --> 00:22:30,367
-right here out of the way.
-[Jerry] Set it aside.
565
00:22:30,367 --> 00:22:31,600
That's what we're gonna do
is we're gonna just
566
00:22:31,667 --> 00:22:33,800
marry these things up
like this.
567
00:22:33,867 --> 00:22:35,867
That way when one turns,
the other one turns.
568
00:22:35,867 --> 00:22:38,967
We'll put some soup cans
around one tire for the water
569
00:22:38,967 --> 00:22:40,667
and then, uh, this'll actually
just set on there
570
00:22:40,667 --> 00:22:41,667
like that right there
571
00:22:42,367 --> 00:22:43,567
and just ride.
572
00:22:43,567 --> 00:22:43,685
This little wheel is just
basically a little motor.
573
00:22:43,685 --> 00:22:46,000
This little wheel is just
basically a little motor.
574
00:22:46,066 --> 00:22:47,800
If we get this wheel
turning fast enough,
575
00:22:47,867 --> 00:22:50,066
all we gotta do is run it
to some re-charge-ifiers
576
00:22:50,066 --> 00:22:51,767
and just charge our battery
right up with it.
577
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,567
So we gotta get
a little frame constructed.
578
00:22:56,567 --> 00:22:58,900
We're gonna put them together
and see how she spins.
579
00:23:00,467 --> 00:23:02,266
-That's got it.
-[Jerry] Looking pretty.
580
00:23:06,667 --> 00:23:09,567
[Mike] It ain't bad
for a damn old
used bicycle, is it?
581
00:23:09,567 --> 00:23:11,367
I think she's gonna
work beautifully.
582
00:23:11,367 --> 00:23:12,567
[Mike] It ought to, should it?
583
00:23:12,567 --> 00:23:13,685
[Jerry] You know, this thing's
turning really good.
584
00:23:13,685 --> 00:23:13,867
[Jerry] You know, this thing's
turning really good.
585
00:23:13,867 --> 00:23:15,266
We got a little
frame constructed.
586
00:23:15,266 --> 00:23:17,367
We're just gonna simply take
some tomato cans,
587
00:23:17,367 --> 00:23:19,200
get these things
opened up, dump them out,
588
00:23:19,266 --> 00:23:21,600
and attach them to the rim
all the way around.
589
00:23:21,667 --> 00:23:23,000
We got ourselves
a water wheel.
590
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,900
So as we're putting water
on top of it,
591
00:23:24,967 --> 00:23:26,600
it's gonna capture it,
and the weight of the water,
592
00:23:26,667 --> 00:23:28,600
gravity's gonna
pull it around one way,
593
00:23:28,667 --> 00:23:29,767
dump it out the bottom,
594
00:23:29,767 --> 00:23:31,367
the other side's coming up
with empty cans.
595
00:23:31,367 --> 00:23:34,467
So it just starts
that process all over again,
round and round.
596
00:23:34,467 --> 00:23:35,900
Pretty proud of that.
Let's take that there
597
00:23:35,967 --> 00:23:37,367
and hook it to some water
and see what she does.
598
00:23:37,367 --> 00:23:39,467
-[Mike] I'm ready to see
what happens, man.
-Let's do it.
599
00:23:39,467 --> 00:23:41,767
[Mike] You know, anytime
me and Jerry does a build,
600
00:23:41,767 --> 00:23:43,685
we like to try to check it
before we ever take it
to the woods.
601
00:23:43,685 --> 00:23:44,667
we like to try to check it
before we ever take it
to the woods.
602
00:23:44,667 --> 00:23:47,700
[laughs] Turn it on, Jerry!
603
00:23:47,767 --> 00:23:49,266
-[Jerry] You ready, Mike?
-Let's go!
604
00:23:55,567 --> 00:23:56,867
-It's spinning.
-She's turning.
605
00:23:57,567 --> 00:23:58,634
Like clockwork, son.
606
00:23:58,667 --> 00:24:00,967
[Mike] That's damn neater
than socks on a rooster.
607
00:24:00,967 --> 00:24:02,767
-Put the meter on it,
see what she says.
-Put the meter on it
608
00:24:02,767 --> 00:24:04,367
before I get soaking ass wet!
609
00:24:04,367 --> 00:24:06,467
[Jerry] Well, you gotta
have more than 12 volts
to charge that battery up.
610
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,867
This damn thing's
getting it now, ain't it?
611
00:24:10,867 --> 00:24:12,567
Hey, 14, 15.
612
00:24:14,567 --> 00:24:15,567
16.
613
00:24:17,900 --> 00:24:19,967
About 16.1.
614
00:24:19,967 --> 00:24:21,900
Checking it with the meter.
we got plenty of power.
615
00:24:21,967 --> 00:24:25,667
This is plenty enough
to keep this battery charged
around the clock.
616
00:24:25,667 --> 00:24:26,800
[Mike] There's plenty,
ain't it?
617
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,000
This is a very, very important
situation that we're in.
618
00:24:29,066 --> 00:24:31,500
We've got to make this work
to keep our mash
619
00:24:31,567 --> 00:24:32,867
at temperatures that we need
620
00:24:32,867 --> 00:24:36,300
because we're actually behind
right now in sales.
621
00:24:36,367 --> 00:24:38,367
Richard and Craig's probably
done for the season.
622
00:24:38,367 --> 00:24:40,567
I feel like we can get
a leg up on these guys
623
00:24:40,567 --> 00:24:42,000
and get our customers back.
624
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:43,685
Well, this right here is gonna
save the whole damn season.
625
00:24:43,685 --> 00:24:45,767
Well, this right here is gonna
save the whole damn season.
626
00:25:00,467 --> 00:25:01,500
[Killer Beaz] Let's do this.
627
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:04,767
[Joe laughs]
628
00:25:04,767 --> 00:25:07,367
Digger's telling me
he and Mark
629
00:25:07,367 --> 00:25:09,767
got other things
to take care of
630
00:25:09,767 --> 00:25:11,166
over the next few days.
631
00:25:11,166 --> 00:25:12,266
Whoo!
632
00:25:12,266 --> 00:25:13,685
I want to blow Digger away
when he gets back.
633
00:25:13,685 --> 00:25:15,367
I want to blow Digger away
when he gets back.
634
00:25:16,100 --> 00:25:18,266
This is so out of character,
635
00:25:18,266 --> 00:25:20,100
makes me feel like
something's up,
636
00:25:20,100 --> 00:25:22,667
and he's just not willing
to share it with me.
637
00:25:22,667 --> 00:25:24,667
[Joe] All right, let's see
if it worked off, brother.
638
00:25:25,467 --> 00:25:26,767
Oh, man. Yeah.
639
00:25:26,767 --> 00:25:28,000
The cap has dropped.
640
00:25:28,066 --> 00:25:29,767
Oh, my gosh. I can smell that.
641
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,166
-Whoo!
-Wow.
642
00:25:35,166 --> 00:25:36,767
It's got a really
sweet flavor...
643
00:25:36,767 --> 00:25:38,166
-[laughing]
-This is great, man.
644
00:25:38,166 --> 00:25:40,867
...you can really taste
those earthy notes
645
00:25:40,867 --> 00:25:42,900
that the brown sugar
and the malted rye
646
00:25:42,967 --> 00:25:43,685
have brought to the table.
647
00:25:43,685 --> 00:25:44,200
have brought to the table.
648
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,667
[Killer Beaz] Now, I've not
seen mash run over like that.
649
00:25:46,667 --> 00:25:48,100
[Joe laughs] Yeah,
look at that.
650
00:25:48,100 --> 00:25:50,500
That looks like the morning
after prom night.
651
00:25:50,567 --> 00:25:51,867
[Joe laughs] Beaz.
652
00:25:51,867 --> 00:25:53,567
Good lord.
653
00:25:53,567 --> 00:25:55,000
[Joe] It was probably
that brown sugar.
654
00:25:55,066 --> 00:25:58,100
With brown sugar washes,
it pushes that cap up.
655
00:25:58,100 --> 00:26:01,000
-Like, you really always gotta
leave a little head space.
-[Killer Beaz] Really?
656
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,600
Digger and Mark have done
the rye apple for years,
657
00:26:04,667 --> 00:26:06,567
and it's kind of a staple
658
00:26:06,567 --> 00:26:11,166
that's a big deal run
for finances for the season.
659
00:26:11,166 --> 00:26:13,200
[Joe] Kick the tires
and light the fires!
660
00:26:13,266 --> 00:26:13,685
So there's pressure on us that
it needs to turn out right.
661
00:26:13,685 --> 00:26:16,800
So there's pressure on us that
it needs to turn out right.
662
00:26:16,867 --> 00:26:19,166
If it doesn't, we're part
of the problem.
663
00:26:20,967 --> 00:26:23,500
Whoo, there she blows.
664
00:26:23,567 --> 00:26:25,400
You didn't lose
any hair this time.
665
00:26:25,467 --> 00:26:27,467
-Get Big Sloppy lit?
-[Killer Beaz] Yeah,
let's do that.
666
00:26:27,467 --> 00:26:28,667
All right, go ahead.
667
00:26:29,867 --> 00:26:32,467
Whoo, damn, Beaz.
668
00:26:32,467 --> 00:26:33,867
Trying to set me on fire!
669
00:26:36,467 --> 00:26:37,634
[both laughing]
670
00:26:37,634 --> 00:26:40,467
[Killer Beaz] We've got
all three stills fired up.
671
00:26:40,467 --> 00:26:41,700
[Joe] So we're nice
and full up,
672
00:26:41,700 --> 00:26:43,685
we should get a darn good run
out of this rye apple.
673
00:26:43,685 --> 00:26:44,166
we should get a darn good run
out of this rye apple.
674
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:52,300
[whispering] Beaz.
675
00:27:03,967 --> 00:27:05,900
[whispering] There's a guy
walking back and forth.
676
00:27:06,900 --> 00:27:08,100
There's a big guy.
677
00:27:08,100 --> 00:27:09,567
[Killer Beaz] Is he
on the four-wheeler?
678
00:27:09,567 --> 00:27:10,867
[Joe] Yeah, he's on
the front of it.
679
00:27:10,867 --> 00:27:11,867
[Killer Beaz] Where is he at?
680
00:27:11,867 --> 00:27:14,000
It's right there in the trees.
681
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,166
Right there.
682
00:27:17,367 --> 00:27:18,667
That's Jeff.
683
00:27:18,667 --> 00:27:20,100
-Jeff?
-That's Jeff.
684
00:27:20,166 --> 00:27:21,166
Who's Jeff?
685
00:27:21,166 --> 00:27:23,100
Jeff lives at
the top of the hill.
686
00:27:23,100 --> 00:27:24,166
What?
687
00:27:24,166 --> 00:27:26,000
He's coming down
to check stuff for Digger.
688
00:27:26,066 --> 00:27:27,767
Digger let's him hunt here.
689
00:27:27,767 --> 00:27:29,166
Jeff!
690
00:27:29,166 --> 00:27:30,452
-[Jeff] Yeah?
-Hey, it's Beaz!
691
00:27:30,452 --> 00:27:30,800
-[Jeff] Yeah?
-Hey, it's Beaz!
692
00:27:30,867 --> 00:27:32,367
[Jeff] Y'all over here today?
693
00:27:32,367 --> 00:27:33,700
Yeah, man.
694
00:27:33,700 --> 00:27:35,567
[Jeff] I didn't know that,
or I wouldn't have
bothered you.
695
00:27:35,567 --> 00:27:37,400
Okay, not a problem, brother.
696
00:27:37,467 --> 00:27:42,367
To say that we were relieved
is such an understatement.
697
00:27:42,367 --> 00:27:43,600
Jeff's a hoot.
698
00:27:43,667 --> 00:27:45,200
You had me freaking out, Beaz.
699
00:27:45,266 --> 00:27:46,467
[Killer Beaz] I'm sure,
man, sorry.
700
00:27:46,467 --> 00:27:49,000
I wish I would've remembered
to tell you about Jeff.
701
00:27:49,066 --> 00:27:50,867
I was like, I gotta find
cover and concealment
702
00:27:50,867 --> 00:27:53,266
somewhere over here
in that draw
703
00:27:53,266 --> 00:27:54,600
so I could get
a better vantage point
704
00:27:54,667 --> 00:27:56,166
to see where he was
coming in from.
705
00:27:56,166 --> 00:27:58,000
-Your training.
-Yeah, I'm sorry if
it seemed like
706
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,166
I skedaddled out
that way, but...
707
00:28:00,166 --> 00:28:00,452
I thought it was great.
708
00:28:00,452 --> 00:28:01,266
I thought it was great.
709
00:28:01,266 --> 00:28:02,200
[laughs]
710
00:28:02,266 --> 00:28:05,166
Joe is hyper-alert
at all times.
711
00:28:05,166 --> 00:28:07,700
He's very security-oriented,
712
00:28:07,767 --> 00:28:10,166
and he proves to be
more of an asset every day.
713
00:28:11,900 --> 00:28:13,000
Oh, look at this.
714
00:28:13,066 --> 00:28:14,500
Beaz, we're running baby.
715
00:28:14,567 --> 00:28:16,467
My first liquor in the woods.
716
00:28:16,467 --> 00:28:18,567
We're running the rye apple,
717
00:28:18,567 --> 00:28:21,266
and I'd be lying if I told you
I wasn't nervous.
718
00:28:21,266 --> 00:28:23,000
[Joe] We can go ahead
and toss these heads.
719
00:28:24,700 --> 00:28:27,567
Mark and Digger have
entrusted Joe and I
720
00:28:27,567 --> 00:28:30,452
into running what is
potentially a new version
721
00:28:30,452 --> 00:28:31,266
into running what is
potentially a new version
722
00:28:31,266 --> 00:28:33,567
of their most popular liquor.
723
00:28:33,567 --> 00:28:34,934
-Hey, Beaz.
-Yeah, man?
724
00:28:34,967 --> 00:28:37,700
-I think this one is
about to run here. I mean...
-Oh, really?
725
00:28:37,767 --> 00:28:40,200
-[Joe] Whoo-wee,
-[Killer Beaz] Well, I can
smell it standing right here.
726
00:28:40,266 --> 00:28:42,266
-I know, right? [laughs]
-It is coming out big time.
727
00:28:44,266 --> 00:28:46,066
-[Joe] Heck yeah, baby!
-[Killer Beaz] Yeah!
728
00:28:46,066 --> 00:28:48,600
Sir, would you do the honors?
729
00:28:48,667 --> 00:28:50,467
I shall indeed, my friend.
730
00:28:51,266 --> 00:28:52,500
Oh, yeah.
731
00:28:52,500 --> 00:28:55,800
We have three
different stills,
all different sizes.
732
00:28:55,867 --> 00:28:56,867
[Joe] Just being safe.
733
00:28:58,066 --> 00:29:00,452
They run at different rates,
734
00:29:00,452 --> 00:29:00,567
They run at different rates,
735
00:29:00,567 --> 00:29:02,300
so it's kinda like
goat roping...
736
00:29:02,367 --> 00:29:03,600
[Joe] Oh, running over here.
737
00:29:04,166 --> 00:29:05,667
...or cat rustling
738
00:29:05,667 --> 00:29:08,867
being on top of each
and every catch pan.
739
00:29:08,867 --> 00:29:10,667
[Joe] Check out that stream.
740
00:29:10,667 --> 00:29:14,567
That's the flow you get
when you got a giant of a pot.
741
00:29:15,567 --> 00:29:16,867
Oh, smell that.
742
00:29:17,767 --> 00:29:19,200
Holy Jiminy.
743
00:29:19,266 --> 00:29:21,567
The nose on it is amazing.
744
00:29:21,567 --> 00:29:23,000
[exclaims]
745
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,200
The entire still site
smells awesome.
746
00:29:26,266 --> 00:29:28,900
You hear that?
That's the sound of money
747
00:29:28,967 --> 00:29:30,200
going in your bank account.
748
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:33,667
[Joe] This is
the moment of truth.
749
00:29:33,667 --> 00:29:35,567
I think we're pretty deep
into the hearts here.
750
00:29:35,567 --> 00:29:38,600
Age before beauty, my friend.
751
00:29:40,567 --> 00:29:41,867
-Whew.
-[laughs]
752
00:29:45,667 --> 00:29:46,700
Mmm.
753
00:29:50,867 --> 00:29:53,166
That's great. That's amazing.
754
00:29:55,266 --> 00:29:57,100
-[laughing]
-Oh, wow.
755
00:29:57,100 --> 00:29:58,600
There's so many layers.
756
00:29:58,667 --> 00:30:00,452
It hits you with
the fruitiness up front,
757
00:30:00,452 --> 00:30:00,867
It hits you with
the fruitiness up front,
758
00:30:00,867 --> 00:30:03,700
the malted rye gives you
that earthy note,
759
00:30:03,767 --> 00:30:06,467
and then you get
that brown sugar savoryness
760
00:30:06,467 --> 00:30:07,900
at the back of the taste buds,
761
00:30:07,967 --> 00:30:10,767
and it's really, really,
really good.
762
00:30:10,767 --> 00:30:13,367
-Bro, that's the real McCoy
right there, buddy.
-[Joe] Yeah.
763
00:30:13,367 --> 00:30:16,166
But this is a completely
different taste profile
764
00:30:16,166 --> 00:30:18,567
than Mark and Digger's
apple rye.
765
00:30:18,567 --> 00:30:20,200
I think it tastes good,
766
00:30:20,266 --> 00:30:22,567
but I'm really hoping
that digger likes it.
767
00:30:22,567 --> 00:30:25,066
It's, like, a smoother
mouth feel too, isn't it?
768
00:30:25,066 --> 00:30:27,900
Mmm-hmm, although
my mouth is numb.
769
00:30:27,967 --> 00:30:29,100
[both laugh]
770
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,200
[Mike] This contraption
we come up with,
771
00:30:38,266 --> 00:30:39,500
it better by God work.
772
00:30:39,567 --> 00:30:40,667
[Jerry] It's gonna work.
773
00:30:40,667 --> 00:30:42,200
[Mike] I'm freezing
my ass off.
774
00:30:42,266 --> 00:30:44,200
Today me and Jerry,
we're gonna mash in,
775
00:30:44,266 --> 00:30:46,166
and we're bringing
our water wheel system
776
00:30:46,166 --> 00:30:48,266
out here to the still site,
which will help us
777
00:30:48,266 --> 00:30:50,066
keep our mash warm
through the winter
778
00:30:50,066 --> 00:30:51,066
while we're not even here.
779
00:30:51,066 --> 00:30:53,567
All right, I'mma
fire up, Jerry.
780
00:30:53,567 --> 00:30:55,767
-[both exclaim]
-[Mike] Light got
my damn eyebrows!
781
00:30:55,767 --> 00:30:57,567
Feels good this
cold morning, don't it?
782
00:30:57,567 --> 00:31:00,452
-[Mike] Oh, man.
-[Jerry] Let's set
this wheel up.
783
00:31:00,452 --> 00:31:00,467
-[Mike] Oh, man.
-[Jerry] Let's set
this wheel up.
784
00:31:00,467 --> 00:31:02,200
[Mike] We're trying to
beat out Richard and Craig,
785
00:31:02,266 --> 00:31:04,800
and so we gotta get
this thing fixed here today,
786
00:31:04,867 --> 00:31:07,467
make it work right
so we can leave the woods
787
00:31:07,467 --> 00:31:09,867
and depend on this system
to keep our mash
788
00:31:09,867 --> 00:31:11,000
at a certain temperature rate.
789
00:31:13,667 --> 00:31:15,000
We're in business, baby!
790
00:31:15,066 --> 00:31:16,500
-[Jerry] That'll work.
-[Mike] Yee-haw!
791
00:31:16,567 --> 00:31:18,367
That ought to keep our
battery charged, shouldn't it?
792
00:31:18,367 --> 00:31:19,367
Hell yeah, it will.
793
00:31:20,367 --> 00:31:22,000
All right, let's get
this mash made.
794
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:24,567
All right, give me some corn.
795
00:31:24,567 --> 00:31:26,300
[Mike] Don't let it
by God burn.
796
00:31:26,367 --> 00:31:28,367
-Kinda corny, ain't it?
-Kinda corny.
797
00:31:28,367 --> 00:31:30,452
You know, Richard and Craig,
they kinda killed
mine and Jerry's season.
798
00:31:30,452 --> 00:31:31,266
You know, Richard and Craig,
they kinda killed
mine and Jerry's season.
799
00:31:31,266 --> 00:31:32,700
That's gonna make
a good mash, son.
800
00:31:32,767 --> 00:31:34,166
Yeah, buddy.
801
00:31:34,166 --> 00:31:36,867
So our only choice
is to keep making liquor
through the winter.
802
00:31:36,867 --> 00:31:40,266
So we're mashing in
the old timey
basic corn recipe.
803
00:31:40,266 --> 00:31:43,567
We just boil the corn down,
let it work off,
804
00:31:43,567 --> 00:31:45,867
and have that good
corn flavored moonshine
805
00:31:45,867 --> 00:31:47,166
which everybody loved.
806
00:31:47,166 --> 00:31:49,667
And hey, it sells very well.
807
00:31:49,667 --> 00:31:51,567
Oh, let's get these grits
dumped in there.
808
00:31:52,266 --> 00:31:54,467
-Ready?
-Well, I reckon.
809
00:31:54,467 --> 00:31:55,767
[Jerry] Ooh, it's sticking
in there.
810
00:31:57,667 --> 00:31:59,667
-All right.
-[Jerry] Get the sugar
in there.
811
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,166
[Mike] There we go.
812
00:32:04,166 --> 00:32:06,967
-All right.
-[Jerry] Give her a stir,
my friend, give her a stir.
813
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,367
[Mike] Get the old
sugar stirred in.
814
00:32:11,367 --> 00:32:12,700
Lay it in there, bud.
815
00:32:15,967 --> 00:32:17,367
Well, let's top it off
with water,
816
00:32:17,367 --> 00:32:18,900
you wanna make
this thing work.
817
00:32:20,266 --> 00:32:21,667
[Jerry] All right, so what
we're gonna do here,
818
00:32:21,667 --> 00:32:23,767
check this thermal probe,
make sure it goes to
this tube right.
819
00:32:23,767 --> 00:32:25,367
You got a thermostat in it?
820
00:32:25,367 --> 00:32:26,867
Well, this way it can
actually breathe...
821
00:32:26,867 --> 00:32:28,467
-Mmm-hmm.
-...and we can keep an eye
on the temperature
822
00:32:28,467 --> 00:32:30,452
-all at the same time.
-Hell yeah.
823
00:32:30,452 --> 00:32:30,467
-all at the same time.
-Hell yeah.
824
00:32:30,467 --> 00:32:32,367
-It come right on that.
-[Jerry] Nice.
825
00:32:32,367 --> 00:32:34,867
This is gonna tell us
when to kick on and kick off.
826
00:32:34,867 --> 00:32:37,000
[Jerry] Mmm-hmm, just set this
to the side right here.
827
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,066
All right, Jerry.
828
00:32:40,667 --> 00:32:42,100
That is plugged in.
829
00:32:42,166 --> 00:32:43,500
[Jerry] Let's get our burner.
830
00:32:43,567 --> 00:32:45,800
-[Mike] Check.
-[Jerry] All right, here
let's turn it sideways.
831
00:32:45,867 --> 00:32:47,100
Actually, unplug that thing.
832
00:32:47,100 --> 00:32:48,567
[Mike] This is the igniter.
833
00:32:48,567 --> 00:32:51,500
Okay, right there,
right there. Perfect.
834
00:32:51,567 --> 00:32:53,000
-[Mike] Cool, cool.
-[Jerry] Give this
a test drive,
835
00:32:53,066 --> 00:32:54,266
see if this thing
will fire up now.
836
00:32:58,967 --> 00:33:00,452
We got power.
837
00:33:00,452 --> 00:33:00,567
We got power.
838
00:33:00,567 --> 00:33:02,800
-[Mike] We got power.
-It should be fixing
to come on.
839
00:33:04,066 --> 00:33:06,100
So this is...
The threshold's below 60?
840
00:33:06,767 --> 00:33:07,900
[Mike] Mmm-hmm.
841
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,000
Is it supposed to be
sparking right now?
842
00:33:11,066 --> 00:33:12,266
[Jerry] It should be
sparking right now.
843
00:33:14,567 --> 00:33:15,800
[Mike] Man, it ain't sparking.
844
00:33:15,867 --> 00:33:17,500
[Jerry] I don't know
what the hell's going on, man.
845
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:20,567
[Mike] Could it be the ground?
846
00:33:20,567 --> 00:33:22,000
No, we got the ground.
847
00:33:22,066 --> 00:33:23,567
Well, Jerry, do you know
what's wrong with it?
848
00:33:23,567 --> 00:33:24,967
[Jerry] Dude, I can't...
I don't understand it.
849
00:33:24,967 --> 00:33:26,667
You know what that means?
850
00:33:26,667 --> 00:33:28,367
-[Jerry] What does that mean?
-That means I definitely
851
00:33:28,367 --> 00:33:30,266
don't know what the hell's
wrong with this thing.
852
00:33:30,266 --> 00:33:30,452
All these wires
and gadgets going on,
853
00:33:30,452 --> 00:33:32,700
All these wires
and gadgets going on,
854
00:33:32,767 --> 00:33:35,166
all I know is we gotta
get this damn mash warm.
855
00:33:35,166 --> 00:33:36,467
I know, I know. We gotta
get it warm.
856
00:33:36,467 --> 00:33:38,467
We got mash in the barrel
we can't do nothing with.
857
00:33:38,467 --> 00:33:40,667
We gotta get this thing going,
or our mash
is gonna go to crap.
858
00:33:40,667 --> 00:33:42,767
[Mike] Well, I wish there was
more I could do to help you,
859
00:33:42,767 --> 00:33:45,767
but right now all I see
is a bumbled up damn mess.
860
00:33:56,867 --> 00:33:58,467
[Digger] Y'all made it
all right, I see.
861
00:33:58,467 --> 00:34:00,100
We did, the run
went really well.
862
00:34:00,100 --> 00:34:00,452
Joe did great, man.
863
00:34:00,452 --> 00:34:01,467
Joe did great, man.
864
00:34:01,467 --> 00:34:04,166
Hey, I didn't cherry pick him
because of his gorgeous hair.
865
00:34:04,166 --> 00:34:06,100
-[laughing]
-[Killer Beaz] Well,
you were spot on, dude.
866
00:34:06,166 --> 00:34:07,567
You were spot on.
867
00:34:07,567 --> 00:34:09,567
-So check that out, my friend.
-Ooh.
868
00:34:09,567 --> 00:34:10,967
Look at how clear that is.
869
00:34:10,967 --> 00:34:12,467
Well, that's good liquor
right there.
870
00:34:13,266 --> 00:34:14,667
You tampered it
and everything.
871
00:34:14,667 --> 00:34:15,800
-Yeah.
-Yeah, yeah.
872
00:34:15,867 --> 00:34:17,700
This is our love
and labor in a jar.
873
00:34:18,767 --> 00:34:20,166
Hmm.
874
00:34:20,166 --> 00:34:22,100
Man, that's got a nose
a whole lot different
875
00:34:22,166 --> 00:34:23,467
than our regular rye apple.
876
00:34:23,467 --> 00:34:25,066
-[Killer Beaz] Yeah, it does.
-[Joe] But it's layered.
877
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:30,452
[Digger] Well, I'm gonna
be honest, man.
878
00:34:30,452 --> 00:34:32,400
[Digger] Well, I'm gonna
be honest, man.
879
00:34:32,467 --> 00:34:34,767
This right here,
it's a lot different
880
00:34:34,767 --> 00:34:36,367
than our original recipe...
881
00:34:37,567 --> 00:34:39,967
...and it ain't anything
like I expected.
882
00:34:51,967 --> 00:34:53,600
[Digger] Back in
the Popcorn days,
883
00:34:53,667 --> 00:34:56,367
he always wanted
automobile gasoline.
884
00:34:56,367 --> 00:34:58,967
We fussed propane,
propane, propane.
885
00:34:58,967 --> 00:35:00,367
It's safer, it's easier.
886
00:35:00,367 --> 00:35:02,066
So it was, like, white gas?
887
00:35:02,066 --> 00:35:04,667
-[Digger] No, it was
automobile gasoline.
-Gasoline.
888
00:35:04,667 --> 00:35:06,567
[Digger] And it did
burn more efficiently,
889
00:35:06,567 --> 00:35:08,467
but it was dangerous as hell.
890
00:35:08,467 --> 00:35:11,066
Hence the still houses
burning down.
891
00:35:11,066 --> 00:35:14,266
It was never the still
that blew up,
892
00:35:14,266 --> 00:35:15,516
-it was always
the fuel source.
-It was always the fuel.
893
00:35:15,516 --> 00:35:16,467
-it was always
the fuel source.
-It was always the fuel.
894
00:35:16,467 --> 00:35:18,900
Yeah. The only fuel that
I played with in the army
895
00:35:18,967 --> 00:35:21,467
-was, uh, jet fuel.
-Yeah.
896
00:35:21,467 --> 00:35:23,967
But the most dangerous thing
we had to do with that
897
00:35:23,967 --> 00:35:25,800
-was burn [bleep]. So...
-Yeah.
898
00:35:25,867 --> 00:35:27,100
-[laughs]
-Yeah, latrine duty.
899
00:35:27,100 --> 00:35:28,266
[Joe] Yeah, latrine duty.
900
00:35:28,266 --> 00:35:30,100
We made up a song.
901
00:35:30,100 --> 00:35:33,767
-[laughs]
-[singing] We burn the poo
so you don't have to!
902
00:35:33,767 --> 00:35:34,900
[all laughing]
903
00:35:36,266 --> 00:35:37,600
[Digger] Man, that's got
a nose a whole lot different.
904
00:35:45,266 --> 00:35:47,600
Well, I'm gonna
be honest, man.
905
00:35:47,667 --> 00:35:51,600
This right here,
it's a lot different than
our original recipe...
906
00:35:52,900 --> 00:35:55,100
...and it ain't anything
like I expected.
907
00:36:00,767 --> 00:36:03,166
It's a damn sight better
than I expected.
908
00:36:03,867 --> 00:36:05,233
-God.
-Why do you do that?
909
00:36:05,233 --> 00:36:06,066
-God.
-Why do you do that?
910
00:36:06,066 --> 00:36:07,467
-You had...
-[Killer Beaz] Jeez.
911
00:36:07,467 --> 00:36:09,200
You did the same thing
on the Master Distiller show.
912
00:36:09,266 --> 00:36:11,200
-[Killer Beaz] Oh, my God.
-I look at you and... [laughs]
913
00:36:11,266 --> 00:36:13,367
-Poker face.
-God!
914
00:36:13,367 --> 00:36:16,200
These guys knocked it
out of the park.
915
00:36:16,266 --> 00:36:18,667
I mean, first and foremost,
you know, you get that
916
00:36:18,667 --> 00:36:21,467
really sharp sweetness
in those apples,
917
00:36:21,467 --> 00:36:23,100
and then you can pick up
on that rye,
918
00:36:23,100 --> 00:36:26,166
that rye is like smelling
fresh ground black pepper.
919
00:36:26,166 --> 00:36:28,367
The brown sugar,
I think it gives it
920
00:36:28,367 --> 00:36:30,667
that nice little
crisp rum note.
921
00:36:30,667 --> 00:36:31,767
Mmm-hmm.
922
00:36:31,767 --> 00:36:33,500
This has floorboarded me even,
923
00:36:33,567 --> 00:36:35,166
and I thought that
the rye apple
924
00:36:35,166 --> 00:36:35,233
was as good as it could get.
925
00:36:35,233 --> 00:36:36,567
was as good as it could get.
926
00:36:36,567 --> 00:36:38,700
I think we've discovered
our newest...
927
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,100
...rye apple recipe.
928
00:36:41,166 --> 00:36:42,266
I'm glad you like it, digger.
929
00:36:43,166 --> 00:36:45,000
Can you get more of that
Amish brown sugar?
930
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,767
I got my buddy up there,
he's my hookup.
931
00:36:46,767 --> 00:36:47,767
We can take care of it.
932
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,000
Let's go up to the bar,
and we'll talk about it.
933
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,600
[Joe] Let's do it, brother.
Yeah, definitely.
934
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,100
I don't understand it.
Of course it's damn raining.
935
00:37:03,166 --> 00:37:04,700
Cold, miserable.
936
00:37:04,700 --> 00:37:05,233
You reckon there's something
shorting out some damn where
or something?
937
00:37:05,233 --> 00:37:06,567
You reckon there's something
shorting out some damn where
or something?
938
00:37:06,567 --> 00:37:08,400
I mean, there shouldn't be.
939
00:37:08,467 --> 00:37:10,867
[sighs] Let's at least get
our yeast pitched
940
00:37:10,867 --> 00:37:13,100
so that stuff is at least
started working off.
941
00:37:13,100 --> 00:37:14,767
Then we can figure this out.
942
00:37:14,767 --> 00:37:16,400
I tell you what, me and Mike's
got for most of it,
943
00:37:16,467 --> 00:37:17,567
we got the water wheel set up,
944
00:37:17,567 --> 00:37:19,000
we got all the components
hooked up,
945
00:37:19,066 --> 00:37:20,100
the burner and everything.
946
00:37:20,100 --> 00:37:21,800
But it just simply
is not coming on,
947
00:37:21,867 --> 00:37:23,000
and I can't really
figure out why.
948
00:37:23,066 --> 00:37:24,200
I mean, we've had
this thing in the shop
949
00:37:24,266 --> 00:37:25,767
and it worked beautifully.
950
00:37:25,767 --> 00:37:27,467
[Mike] Maybe it'll give us
some damn alcohol
951
00:37:27,467 --> 00:37:28,667
if this contraption
don't work.
952
00:37:29,266 --> 00:37:30,467
But I hope it works.
953
00:37:30,467 --> 00:37:32,166
All right.
954
00:37:32,166 --> 00:37:34,567
Tell you what, let me try
one more thing
955
00:37:34,567 --> 00:37:35,233
-before we take off.
-[Mike] What you gonna try?
956
00:37:35,233 --> 00:37:37,567
-before we take off.
-[Mike] What you gonna try?
957
00:37:37,567 --> 00:37:39,300
[Jerry] It looks like to me
we're not getting
958
00:37:39,367 --> 00:37:41,367
very much voltage on this,
this thing's awful dim.
959
00:37:41,367 --> 00:37:43,367
And that's gotta mean,
we don't have enough power.
960
00:37:43,367 --> 00:37:44,800
I think our battery
might just be dead.
961
00:37:44,867 --> 00:37:46,266
Why the hell ain't it
charged up?
962
00:37:46,266 --> 00:37:48,100
Well, dude, we've had it in
the shop testing everything.
963
00:37:48,166 --> 00:37:49,467
[Mike] We're out
in the middle of the woods.
964
00:37:49,467 --> 00:37:51,100
We gotta have
damn battery power.
965
00:37:51,100 --> 00:37:52,100
Dude,
966
00:37:52,900 --> 00:37:54,100
what do you think that's for?
967
00:37:54,767 --> 00:37:56,667
To charge our battery.
968
00:37:56,667 --> 00:37:59,166
If this powers up,
then we'll know that was
our problem.
969
00:37:59,166 --> 00:38:00,700
-We'll be off to the races.
-Man, I'mma tell you,
970
00:38:00,767 --> 00:38:02,800
I'm about tired of fooling
with this [bleep],
Jerry Benson.
971
00:38:03,867 --> 00:38:05,100
-[Jerry] Yeah, I know.
-[Mike] I'm over it, man.
972
00:38:05,100 --> 00:38:05,233
[Jerry] This is gonna work,
man, I'm telling you.
973
00:38:05,233 --> 00:38:06,600
[Jerry] This is gonna work,
man, I'm telling you.
974
00:38:06,667 --> 00:38:09,166
-It's gonna work.
-[Mike] Well, by God,
it better start.
975
00:38:09,166 --> 00:38:12,100
I'm thinking we're spinning
our damn wheels here.
976
00:38:13,567 --> 00:38:15,266
All right.
977
00:38:15,266 --> 00:38:17,367
I wonder how long it'll take
for enough power
978
00:38:17,367 --> 00:38:19,400
to get in here
to make this work.
979
00:38:19,467 --> 00:38:22,266
Well, we know
this thing's making, like,
14, 16 volts of power.
980
00:38:22,266 --> 00:38:23,867
It should be pretty much
instantaneously.
981
00:38:23,867 --> 00:38:26,266
-Okay.
-Let's give it a try and see.
982
00:38:26,266 --> 00:38:28,667
Might as well, we got
the wheel working. [bleep]
983
00:38:29,500 --> 00:38:31,100
Here, we got power.
984
00:38:31,166 --> 00:38:33,000
-It's nice and bright.
-I see that.
985
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,867
-Let's see what we got.
-Moment of truth.
986
00:38:37,567 --> 00:38:38,567
Come on, baby. Come on.
987
00:38:42,367 --> 00:38:44,166
There it is baby! Whoo!
988
00:38:44,166 --> 00:38:45,700
-We got flame.
-Hot water.
989
00:38:45,767 --> 00:38:47,967
Lo and behold, as soon as
we hooked this battery up,
990
00:38:47,967 --> 00:38:49,367
poof, we got flame.
991
00:38:49,367 --> 00:38:51,000
It's gonna stay
and heat the mash up.
992
00:38:51,066 --> 00:38:53,166
We're in business,
we're good to go.
993
00:38:53,166 --> 00:38:54,500
We can walk out of here,
994
00:38:54,567 --> 00:38:57,166
not have to worry about
our mash getting too cold.
995
00:38:57,166 --> 00:38:59,100
Put that in both hands,
palms of your hands.
996
00:38:59,166 --> 00:39:00,667
See how the temperature's
going up?
997
00:39:01,667 --> 00:39:02,867
Soon as that thing
hits 80 degrees,
998
00:39:02,867 --> 00:39:04,467
that flame should
drop out instantly.
999
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:08,467
-80 degrees.
-[Mike] Boo yeah!
1000
00:39:08,467 --> 00:39:10,467
You're such a smart
little gentleman.
1001
00:39:10,467 --> 00:39:12,467
So all we gotta do
is button up all
the controls and stuff,
1002
00:39:12,467 --> 00:39:14,266
-make sure nothing gets wet.
-Tuck it away.
1003
00:39:14,266 --> 00:39:15,367
[Jerry] Let's get that
put back on,
1004
00:39:15,367 --> 00:39:16,667
get our water barrel
set on here,
1005
00:39:16,667 --> 00:39:17,967
and we are out of here.
1006
00:39:17,967 --> 00:39:19,100
[Mike] Cool beans.
1007
00:39:19,100 --> 00:39:20,200
This is a big deal to us.
1008
00:39:20,266 --> 00:39:22,700
You know, me and Jerry,
we lost a lot of damn sales
1009
00:39:22,767 --> 00:39:24,600
this year to
Richard and Craig.
1010
00:39:24,667 --> 00:39:26,400
But this is gonna
turn it around
1011
00:39:26,467 --> 00:39:28,200
and put Richard and Craig
out of business.
1012
00:39:29,100 --> 00:39:30,100
[Jerry] All right, here we go.
1013
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:34,567
[Mike] All right, baby!
1014
00:39:34,567 --> 00:39:35,233
-Yeah!
-We got her, baby!
1015
00:39:35,233 --> 00:39:36,133
-Yeah!
-We got her, baby!
1016
00:39:36,133 --> 00:39:38,767
Jerry, every time
I'm just about ready to
give up on your ass,
1017
00:39:38,767 --> 00:39:40,000
- you follow through, man.
- [Jerry laughing]
1018
00:39:46,567 --> 00:39:48,567
Man, cold as hell
yesterday night,
1019
00:39:48,567 --> 00:39:49,767
pouring down rain today.
1020
00:39:49,767 --> 00:39:51,000
But that shouldn't be
a big problem,
1021
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,166
we're inside a building,
1022
00:39:52,166 --> 00:39:53,667
-heated.
-Heated, yeah.
1023
00:39:53,667 --> 00:39:55,800
Most people would call
a rainy day a bad day,
1024
00:39:55,867 --> 00:39:57,066
this is a good day for us.
1025
00:39:57,066 --> 00:39:59,100
[phone ringing]
1026
00:39:59,166 --> 00:40:00,367
It's Mr. Kelly.
1027
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,867
Hey, Mr. Kelly, how you doing?
1028
00:40:02,867 --> 00:40:05,233
[Kelly over phone]
Well, you know, my buddy
that we made the deal with,
1029
00:40:05,233 --> 00:40:05,467
[Kelly over phone]
Well, you know, my buddy
that we made the deal with,
1030
00:40:05,467 --> 00:40:07,033
or y'all made the deal with...
1031
00:40:07,033 --> 00:40:09,467
- [Craig] Right.
-[Kelly] ...his wife called,
raising Cane.
1032
00:40:09,467 --> 00:40:11,700
He told me she just walked in
the garage this morning,
1033
00:40:11,767 --> 00:40:14,400
saw all these mash barrels,
didn't know what it was.
1034
00:40:14,467 --> 00:40:18,266
She started questioning him,
and he threw my name in there,
1035
00:40:18,266 --> 00:40:22,867
and she wants that crap
gone from her garage
within two hours,
1036
00:40:22,867 --> 00:40:24,567
and she's threatening
to call the law.
1037
00:40:25,266 --> 00:40:26,367
And I am so sorry.
1038
00:40:26,367 --> 00:40:28,166
If I had known there was
anything going on,
1039
00:40:28,166 --> 00:40:30,567
I wouldn't have
got you in with them.
1040
00:40:30,567 --> 00:40:32,467
He didn't talk
to his wife, man?
1041
00:40:32,467 --> 00:40:34,767
We told him we'd
cut him in on the deal.
1042
00:40:34,767 --> 00:40:35,233
[Kelly] I don't know
what to tell you guys.
1043
00:40:35,233 --> 00:40:36,567
[Kelly] I don't know
what to tell you guys.
1044
00:40:36,567 --> 00:40:37,600
I mean, I'm sorry.
1045
00:40:37,667 --> 00:40:39,700
I'd have never seen
this one coming.
1046
00:40:39,767 --> 00:40:41,367
We were planning to get
set up over there
1047
00:40:41,367 --> 00:40:42,667
for the whole winter, man.
1048
00:40:42,667 --> 00:40:44,900
[Kelly] I... It sucks,
and I'm sorry that
1049
00:40:44,967 --> 00:40:46,867
I steered you wrong
on this one.
1050
00:40:46,867 --> 00:40:49,667
We're gonna get out here,
and we're gonna get
the mash barrels out of there.
1051
00:40:49,667 --> 00:40:52,166
Making a U-turn right now,
we're on our way to go get it.
1052
00:40:52,166 --> 00:40:53,767
[Kelly] All right,
I'll see you guys.
1053
00:40:53,767 --> 00:40:55,700
[Craig] All right, bye-bye.
1054
00:40:55,767 --> 00:40:57,400
The hell are we
gonna do now, man.
1055
00:40:57,467 --> 00:40:59,200
Man, this mash needs
a few more days.
1056
00:40:59,266 --> 00:41:01,667
I mean, it ain't even close
to being finished with.
1057
00:41:01,667 --> 00:41:03,567
[Craig] At least
three or four.
1058
00:41:03,567 --> 00:41:05,233
We got more than just
this problem,
1059
00:41:05,233 --> 00:41:05,300
We got more than just
this problem,
1060
00:41:05,367 --> 00:41:08,000
having to clear
these mash barrels out
in a few hours.
1061
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,800
The other problem is
we don't have anywhere
to go with them.
1062
00:41:09,867 --> 00:41:11,967
But right now
the main thing is
1063
00:41:11,967 --> 00:41:13,867
getting this mash
out of this woman's garage.
1064
00:41:13,867 --> 00:41:15,800
Then we'll figure out
what the hell we're gonna
do later.
1065
00:41:17,767 --> 00:41:19,767
Gotta treat it like
we don't have much time.
1066
00:41:19,767 --> 00:41:22,767
No, we gotta get
up out of here quick, man.
1067
00:41:22,767 --> 00:41:25,767
[Richard] This is
a big problem for me,
this is dangerous.
1068
00:41:25,767 --> 00:41:28,700
We're not from here,
I don't have any resources
right now.
1069
00:41:28,767 --> 00:41:30,367
I just don't know
what we're gonna do.
