There are many laws that have to be dealt with. For the most part, you can make small quantities for your own use. But the minute you go to sell it, you will be breaking the law.

When did moonshining in appalachia start?

Moonshining did not start during the prohibition era. Moonshining started in 1791 when Alexander Hamilton proposed a bill in 1790 that was signed by George Washington creating a "sin" tax that raised the tax on imported liquor and began taxing domestically produced whiskey. This so infuriated the American distillers that it led to the Whisky Revolution of 1794. Moonshining began as a way to escape paying the high taxes to the newly formed United States government.
