Apple pie shine.

[Steve H]

First go at this. I like the store bought shine. But at 27.00 a quart mason jar. I felt it was time to give it a go.
2 liters of Everclear
200 ML of Cpt Morgan spiced rum
1 gallon apple cider
2 quarts apple juice
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar.
Heat everything but the booze to to slow boil for 10 minutes. Pull from heat and allow to cool to room temp.

Then add booze and stir. Then bottle. Ended up with 23 pints. Had a partial that me and my friend tried. It's very good now. But after it sets a few weeks it'll be even better I'm told.

That looks good Steve! Need any help finishing that?

I know it’s too early to make boilo but I’m ready to start drinking it.

 

[Steve H]

She has a bang to it! If my math is correct. It should be hitting right around 46%, 92 proof. I'll find out tomorrow. A friend of mine has a Hydrometer. So I can find out for sure.

It is real easy to make. Give it a try. Even after buying the pint jars. The is way less then store bought. And this has a "touch" higher kick. But, wow! Is it stealthy!!!

Just curious Steve, what proof of the Everclear did you use? They make different proofs, but some are only available in certain areas. I think here where I live, the 151 proof is available...

 

[Bearcarver]

OK Otis!!
Hope you won't be riding a Cow down Main Street in Mayberry again!!

[Hawging It]

Dang!!! Looks good and bet it taste better!!

It’s definitely a regional thing here in “coal cracker” country. Everclear works, but people here insist it has to be made with Four Queens.

Oh, I also wanted to ask...you gonna drink that warm?

I am originally from NEPA and have never heard of boilo until college, which is weird because I feel like I should have heard of it before that.

 

[Winterrider]

Made this a few times. Really good, but sure can get a headache.
Enjoy In Moderation...

I would not mind a glsss of that Apple Pie! Thanks for posting the recipe.
My family is from Eynon, a small town a few miles East of Scranton. Grandpa and some Uncles, worked the area mines into the 60's. I too have never heard of Boilo, though, it has a few similarities to Polish Krupnick. A Honey Spiced Vodka served around the Holidays. That Grandpa did make and liked to treat guests. The Boilo would be A LOT stronger but, it sure sounds good to me...JJ
