Agents with the Alabama Alcohol Beverage Control Board have located and demolished an illegal 15-barrel moonshine operation near the Midway Community in Bullock County.

The working still and 25 gallons of moonshine packaged for transport were found in a wooded area between Union Springs and Eufaula on March 7, the ABC Board released.

No arrests have yet to be made.

According to the release, agents found approximately 25 gallons of moonshine packaged in a variety of plastic containers typically used to hold gasoline and cooking oil.

The still had been operational within three days of the raid and was being prepared to be run again within the week. Investigators said the mash was being prepared to ferment before being poured into the cooker to make the finished product.

The ABC Board called the 15-gallon still average size, but investigators have recovered up to 50-barrels in previous operations.
