Granny Moses in ''Series/TheBeverlyHillbillies'' is not a moonshiner, she just happens makes her "medicine" in a giant copper still and it is only mildly explosive.

Likewise The Baldwin sisters in ''Series/TheWaltons'' would be horrified if you accused them, as respectable elderly spinsters, of being moonshiners. They just take care to brew the medicine that their father devised in the traditional manner...in the giant copper still, and keep it hidden from revenue men.

''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' has Nanny Ogg who only escapes the appellation of being a mooonshiner by King Verence taking great care to exclude witches from being included in the prohibition on distilling liquor (not that she would ashamed in the slightest as being known as one), however she does keep her classic hillside still in an out of the way grove just for the look of the thing. This does mean she has cornered the local market with her product, known affectionately as "Old Suicider". Its made from apples, [[RunningGag well mainly apples]].
