On shows like Moonshiners, the characters always shake mason jars or bottles with moonshine to determine how much alcohol is in them. So in this video I explore proofing moonshine with a hydrometer, with the shake test, and the old school method with gunpowder.
Thank you so much for watching this video! If you would like to suggest a video idea please leave it in the comments, and if you enjoyed please like and subscribe! It was my pleasure to add a bit of science to your day!
