Moonshine and Politics

[Ziggysmom]

4. Loved reading that! I remember my grandpa telling stories about John Dillinger's mob

paying farmers like him good money to hide booze in their barns. It helped several local farms hold on during the depression. Gramps tried his hand at home brew once. He said he and my dad bottled the stuff up and put it down in the basement. But something went wrong or they used too much sugar, or bottled it too early. Late one night, BOOM! The home brew stuff all blew up. The bottle bombs ruined half of grandmas canned jars of vegetables and fruits. Poor Gramps never heard the end of it 😊. I love those kinds of stories. Thanks for sharing yours.
