CARROLLTON, Miss. (AP) - Law officers have broken up a moonshine operation in the Mississippi Delta.

The Greenwood Commonwealth reports the bust happened Wednesday at a home in Carroll County.

Officers from the sheriff's department and the state Department of Revenue found 840 gallons (3,180 liters) of fermenting corn mash and at least 38 gallons (144 liters) of moonshine whiskey.

They also found a sugar, cracked corn, copper condensing coils, a steel cooker, and a 21-barrel still.

This was at least the second moonshine bust in Mississippi this month. Agents broke up a large operation Sept. 4 in the coastal community of Kiln.

If they would have reported at least a quarter of their earnings, they would have never been busted.

That's at least, what..., $30 to $40 dollars of illegal moonshine off the black markets.

Homemade moonshine? Botulism mostly.


The places they bust are fricking disgusting.

But if I am the buyer, why would I risk drinking something brewed in the back woods, using methods/recipes, and questionable materials that could potentially kill brain cells or liver damage... just to not pay taxes?

That’s the best, and I look forward to it every year when I trek up to Arkansas around Thanksgiving.

But boy that shite’s dangerous.

I like on how all the moonshine shows that this is the reason they always give. They care less about that shite than the people that drink it.
