How much do the Moonshiners make per episode on Discovery? Thu 2 December 2021 11:57 Updated

Moonshiners share their daily job distilling alcoholic beverages on the Discovery show, which leaves fans wondering how much they make.

The Moonshine-making business is a risky one, as they continue to take part in practices following the Whiskey Rebellion of the 1790s.

Every Wednesday night, viewers get to see a glimpse inside the practice of making Moonshine, a high-proof liquor which can be made illegally.

We found out how much the Moonshiners make per episode on Discovery, alongside their yearly salary coming in from their unique career.

How much do Moonshiners make?

Some moonshiners claim to make upwards of $200,000 a year without tax.

Those who take part in the liquor distilling practice are thought to make around $200 profit in just over an hour.

According to a RDR2 thread, moonshiners make around $200 per hour, taking into account how long it takes to make the beverage.

Each moonshiner’s earnings vary depending on how successful they are. For example, Josh makes six figures a year by making moonshine!
