i read that moonshiners is fake (as most reality tv now adays) that old guy died back in like 09'. They said all that "moonshine" they make is just water and that they basically just rearrange all the scenes or whatever... i watched 2 episodes and i just couldnt bare keep watching it.
The "old guy" commited suicide after he was busted for making moonshine. He did it a few days prior to starting his federal prison term. If you have researched and have a simple understanding of law vs filming and acts committed/acts previously committed you can understand how they could "get away" with the show and not go to prison for it. Whether this show is actually 100% fake or 100%, I'd assume it's portions of each like any reality show these days. Now how far in either direction that leans, Im not sure, nor do I care a whole lot. I watched the show and I liked it.
