Lol ya. He takes this pretty serious. He is a legal caregiver, and has a license to grow 72 plants. So he has a building all just for that. We plan the be at the Michigan Cannabis cup this year. He has a booth.Looks better than 9/10 labs out there - it doesn't even seem to be in a bathroom!

About fkn time! I’ve been holding on to the few sips I have left. I usually pull it out when my son and his friends are over drinking (college kids) about how there pros at drinking and blah blah blah. I pull it out and my son says oh shit tall fucked up now. No one ever asked for another sip after the first one. Then I proceed to call them all pussies lol.Here is the recipe I've settled on, the cherry one. Thoughts?

Made me laughI always wondered how honey was made
It's the real deal fo sho. I'm trying to get it so they want another sip Haha! Getting better with every run. I'll never forget one time my mother in law was chilling with us and she had a few sips from the jar. Well, she was opening up the screen on the screen house we were in so she could talk to someone on the other side of the screen, she thought they wouldn't be able to hear her lol. Can't make that stuff up!

I’m so torn between getting a still, getting the stuff to make honey, or getting what I need to brew.
Why couldn’t I been one of them rich kids born with a silver spoon.
Instead I was born on well water, and cabbage.
I don’t drink anymore, as I can’t seem to come home at a reasonable hour, and after 50 years and 2 Dui’s, I decided to impose sanctions on my self.
But I got a band of family and friends that would happily consume it.
Weather or not it actually made me any pesos, is another matter all together.
But it seems pretty exciting, as I’ve been known to like to mix/cook things for the last 20 years.
Making the honey, requires huge investment, and time, but it’s on the list.
Brewing.
Could potentially save me enough money to pursue the other things on my list. Sust, and maybe mast, would be my items to brew. Also would like some var, but that’s easy being just caps.
However I still have some learning to do.
But I’m slowly getting there.
That cherry shine sounds interesting.
The idea that I could experiment with diff fruits and flavors seems really exciting.
Keep the thread active, as I’m very interested in your thoughts as I move forward.

Personally if you quit drinking I wouldn’t make shine. That’s waaay to tempting imo. Making “honey” seems very interesting to me and probably the most profitable. Gear well after you buy all the shit and brew you’d probably have enough for a few years and break even then what?
Same as you, if I quit drinking I wouldn't shine. You can make some money with anabolics but that's not going to be steady and reliable unless you open up on the internet or know a shitload of people. The weed game though...

You can make hillbilly Honey by using butane for extraction. That doesn't take very much money to get up and running. If I were you I would get all the equipment you needed to brew gear it's going to save you thousands of dollars.
5 gallons of cherries huh? That's going to be a really expensive Mash but sounds absolutely amazing! I like the idea of honey in the mash, after it ferments it creates a really "dry" flavor.

I’d be down to put in on this batch. Of course I’d need at least a gallon you know how to get a hold of me privately.

Lol a 5 gallon run only yields 1 or 2 gallons of shine. But it sounds like he is doing 15-20 gallons and cutting it to 110 proof so maybe 8 gallons total?I’d be down to put in on this batch. Of course I’d need at least a gallon

I thought about that too! Being too close to home with the shine. But I’ve found an unbelievable amount of self control in the last few years. That I didn’t have for the first 45 years.
I’ve finally maybe understand some of the advice my ole man gave me about not letting the right hand know what the left hands doing. Just shut the fuck up and keep my business to myself.
That and I maintain a grow room for the last 3 years so I’ve learned to stay to myself. Being that I’m knocking on the door of 50 has also helped me settle my ass down too.
As for the brewing, the same as growing, I just like to make my own shit. I want to use the carrier oil of my choosing. I want to filter my own shit so I know some dude trying to make 30-50 vials at once, didn’t get tired along the way and blow a filter, or not use proper sterile procedures.
As for making any money off the gear, I’ve got other ventures that I have, and excluding maybe a cycle here or there to a friend, it’s all just for me.
The honey now, is got profit all over it, but I’m not for sure if I WANT to be American Gangster ( Senior Citizen edition)
Again I just like making stuff, but all that equipment is pretty damn expensive. He has got well over 5000 in it when you count the centuruim trimmer and his big auxiliary pumps for the Buckner filter and another for, hell I can’t even remember.
This is Hash made from Mendocino purps x Blue Dream.
If you look close you can see the purple in the hash.

That’s what I was thinking too.
I’ve alread spent a good amount of money, and I would like to reduce the budget for the gear.
As for the butane, that’s where he started about 3 years ago.
Lol myself, I just make hash, then put it on wax paper, and squeeze it between a heated hair crimper.

Oh lol I didn’t know that. I thought he was making 5 gallons. I’d settle for a quart then if it’s not 2 gallons

That looks like bubble hash. I used to make it in a dedicated top loading washing machine with ice and with the zippered Bubble Bags 220u each filled with trim. Then I had these big 55 gallon trash cans and 55 gallon bags that I would pull one at a time all the way down to 25 micron. That hash that you're showing there reminds me of that exact stuff, bubble bag hash. Absolutely beautiful brother, and quite enjoyable to smoke. It's not like these pens nowadays that bubble hash actually has terpenes in it and oils and just tastes amazing!

A man that knows his stuff!
You are 100% right made with exactly what you just said.
And exactly still has terpenes! I usually just throw a little chunk on top of a bowl of weed. I got to smoke it at night tho!
It fucks my day up. Like today! Been putting in a dishwasher for 2 hrs. Between a dead battery in the drill, and my ass walking in and out of rooms and forgetting what I even went in there for, I shouldn’t even have got it out.
