You've been laid up All winter lazy?
Yeah, pretty much.
After a slow start, sondra Turned their season around
By tapping into A lucrative female market
With her Fruit-brandy recipes.
It's good isn't it?
Bringing them within 40 gallons Of their 350-gallon season goal.
It tastes Like watermelons!
But their season almost Came to an abrupt end
When their still site drew The attention of nearby hunters.
We've set a goal This season -- 375 gallons.
We're going to focus on The higher quality brandies.
We've tapped into The female market.
It sells for more on the gallon.
It was good to us last year.
Why change what ain't broke?
I see my nice-sized trees Out that way back in there.
I don't know if that's Something that you,
That we could use At all.
They're kind of hard To build off of.
This year is going to be A little different
As far as our setup.
Oh, god.
Last year, We ran on the ground.
The focus of our still site Was make it look
Like something it's not.
We used a deer stand, Like a deer blind,
But we still drew attention.
Last year we camouflaged it Where people could see it.
We are going to Cover this one.
We are going to move The entire operation
Up off of the ground In the trees.
How high up Are you thinking?
High enough up My nose starts to bleed.
This season, Chico and sondra have a plan
That will truly get their Operation off of the ground.
They are going to build a still Site high in the tree tops.
Constructed of 2x10 joists, The tree platform will be enough
To house their still, mash Barrels, and completed orders.
Water pumped From a nearby mountain creek
Will allow them to make mash And cool the condenser.
A boom-and-pulley system Will allow them
To haul raw materials up And lower finished product down.
Finally, chico and sondra Will camouflage their platform
From the bottom and sides,
Rendering their site Virtually invisible.
These two are perfect,
They are just exactly What we are looking for,
But we've got to have Three or four perfect.

Jeff and lance's Absinthe experiment
Wouldn't be the first time An attempt to make liquor
Had toxic results.
In ancient rome, wine makers Found that the use of lead pots
Gave their wine a sweeter, More appealing flavor
And extended its shelf life.
What they didn't know Was that the lead
Which pleasantly Flavored their wine
Also caused Impaired mental function,
Seizures, kidney failure, And death.
The testing of wine Residues from ancient rome
Reveal that they contained 1,000 Milligrams of lead per liter.
A single teaspoon full of The wine would have been enough
To cause symptoms Of chronic lead poisoning.
Thousands of years Later in the u.S.,
Prohibition era demand for Illegally produced alcohol
Was so high that many Unscrupulous moonshiners
Cut corners by building stills
That used lead soldered Car radiators
As condensers.
Running shine through These radiators
Tainted the liquor With toxic levels of lead,
Resulting In widespread poisoning,
And in many cases, death.

That was one of the biggest Reliefs I've had in a long time.
She's going to be right Over here on the side.
There's my baby.
Cutie pie, are you ready To see your dad?
Hi, baby!
So, let me Just show you her arm.
So, right here On the inside edge,
You can see how it's still A bit red and swollen there.
The swelling has Gone down a ton.
That means she's A lot more comfortable,
And you are welcome to get Her right out of there.
Yeah. Oh, god. Yeah.
It was all I could do To hold my tears back.
I don't care how hard-core And heavy-duty you are.
That's my baby.
You just unwrap that When she gets home.
She's still A little bit sensitive,
And she'll still have A little bit of lameness
For maybe 24 hours Or so.
You want to talk about A feeling of relief,
It feels really good To be headed home with her.
I don't ever want to deal With that again.
Okay, guys, well, y'all don't Hesitate to call us
If you have Any problems.
