QPQ: Done.

Overall: Interesting article! Possibly a nitpick, but I genuinely don't know if the stills themselves were illegal, or just the alcohol produced with them. Is there a cite for them being illegal, or could the hook be changed to something like "helped make stills so farmers could manufacture illegal alcohol"?

Good point Jonathan Deamer - rephrased hook. ~Darth Stabro^{Talk • Contribs} 03:12, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Great, other than that the hook is in the article and cited inline so we're good to go. Jonathan Deamer (talk) 06:06, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
