Answer 1

Basically the poor farmers needed the converted grain to whiskey to support their income.

From Wikipedia.com

"The weak and ineffective government of the United States under the Articles of Confederation had been replaced by a stronger federal government under the United States Constitution in 1789. This new government, at the urging of Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, assumed the states' debt from the American Revolutionary War. One of the steps taken to pay down the debt, that was requested by Hamilton, and approved by Congress, was a tax imposed in 1791 on distilled spirits. Large producers were assessed a tax of six cents a gallon. However, smaller producers, most of whom were Scottish or Irish descent located in the more remote western areas, were taxed at a higher rate of nine cents a gallon. These Western settlers were short of cash to begin with, and lacked any practical means to get their grain to market other than fermenting and distilling it into relatively portable distilled spirits, due to their distance from markets and the lack of good roads."
