Non USAians, he means cloudy apple juice, and not cider. I’ve made this twice before I realised the Americans have a different nomenclature to the rest of us

[@klmccune]

@@jonathanedwards8913 Yes we differentiate between apple cider (cloudy juice) and hard cider (alcoholic).

[@johnsmit2348]

Dang it! Don't tell me you have retired George, just found you a little while ago. For me, you are the best source on stilling so far, with Jesse and boring following up! I hope the hell I'm just imagining this. Regards, John.

[@devinegger4570]

"Drinking in excess could cause KZbin bloopers...!" You always find a way to make this serious stuff fun and enjoyable! Thanks for the video, George, can't wait to make my own!

Glad you like them!

That was a hell of a video. Answered alot of questions I had that I didn't even know how to ask. Great work!!

Not sure if you meant to leave that blooper in but thanks. That was funny!!!😂

Everything you do is very in depth, that's what makes you great!!

I'm in awe of you George. I can't stop watching your vids - my life is on hold.

[@irahemenway6116]

George, thanks for everything. Couldn’t have done any of this without your expert advice

[@ohravenous1]

Thanks George! Good to see you friend still going and doing well. I landed back in the Appalachians and well I am back to working on some of my recipes :D Many blessings to you!

[@geraldbaxter321]

Tks George for sharing your Apple pie recipe. Made it today. Amazing, flavor. Coming from Oklahoma

[@Hawk2phreak]

Not something I normally watch but I'm glad I did. This is what drinking should be. Good times with good people.

[@tomspreacker4489]

Great recipe! I made it the first time and mixed jars at different proofs 80, 70, 45 and 30. I had several friends and family taste them to let me know which one they liked best. To my surprise 45 proof was the favorite. Making a second batch today at 45 proof for gifting as I enjoy the 80 proof from the first batch. :-) Thanks as always George!

[@joliemaman806]

Hello Georges 😉 i’m looking from north France, yes, the potatoes (and beer) country, and I’m so happy with your vidéos, so I greats you so much 😅👍👍👍😘

[@DurbinsBourbon]

I love it ! you made me laugh out loud George ! cheers !

[@WeekleyRehabFishingCharters]

George , we absolutely love this stuff, I will offer two tips for you to try sometime : 1) add vanilla Vodka 1 cup 2). I cut up 3 apples and add to my boil for extra flavor, We do remove all prior to adding liquor. Also you may want to note not to add liquor till after boiled mixture cools

[@bergat0llet119]

have never heard of Apple pie moonshine before. But it sounded so good, will try to do som now before Christmas. Thx Barley

[@phillipgriffin]

“SHIT.” 😂 That looks wonderful George!

[@daughtersofzion-ly4hn]

Hi George, my name is Sandra I live in Regina Saskatchewan hi to have just started distilling tend to go towards vodka. I started out watching Jessie‘s channel still it. Am absolutely loving all of the Contant that you produce cheers, brother.

[@terrypaulson7838]

Thank you for your video's, they are very informative and enjoyable!

[@highly-spirited]

Every time I watch this man, he’s is right on the money! I see many others boasting about how their Apple Pie Moonshine is sooo potent. And in actual fact all they have done is ‘watered’ down 2 litres of shop bought vodka with a load of apple juice. I’m NOT saying all other recipes don’t work, or don’t taste great, but I do love the way George’s mind works. This video has actually spurred me on to have a go at this recipe. Thanks George #happydistiliing ;-)

[@andrewcwight2967]

I really dig your channel. You are very informative, I also enjoy the witty banter.

[@alexanderfrancisco9303]

George!!! I’ve been distilling today to make some apple pie moonshine, and I didn’t quite have a recipe but! I knew that’s what I was gonna make. You always make your videos right on time!!! Thank you

[@BarleyandHopsBrewing]

Sounds great!

[@4seasonsTrucker]

Love this guy, he lookn a bit drunk lol 😆 great vid man! 👍

[@wldtrky38]

I make Apple Pie Shine for my wife, I use tails and low end likker, run several times, until I have a gallon around 150 proof. Then I mix with 1 gal cider and 1 gal juice with a half c sugar and a half c brown sugar. I haven't tried adding the Star Anise, but will 😉 I add 2 or 3 whole cloves, 2 cinnamon sticks, a tap of nutmeg and 3 or 4 apple slices to each quart jar.. Just be CAREFUL when you eat the apples, lol. Thanks George ! #HAPPYDISTILLING 🥃

[@hick-a-rican1260]

Never heard of this before. Nice!

[@danieldeanmasterfinisher4715]

Love it George thanks for the app it really gonna help a lot...

[@TOAD7464]

Look I really hate to be the hipster but I can confirm that alcohol made from fermented apple cider from the local farmers market that sells its own pressed cider unpasteurized is freaking amazing. And then using that same cider to make apple pie. It really is the best of the best. Support your local farmers market

[@denisdendrinos4538]

Awesome George! We're going into Summer here in SA, so this is gonna be good cold! Thinking an apple and raisin shine to use as a base, and should taste pretty good with the cinnamon and cloves!

[@HodgyE5]

Great recipe, Thanks for the wonderful video, Blooper ( Always Original) and knowledge. Semper Fi

[@BarleyandHopsBrewing]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@mutantgenepool]

OMG. I almost threw my convection plate out because I was getting the E1 error. 😂😂

[@MarcusHF]

WOAH there George that's a lot of sugar!! I made this recipe but added a bit of a twist! I used freeze distillation to concentrate the juice and cider before adding them to make the apple flavor more prominent. Turns out after doing that there were already plenty of sugars present in the juice so mine came out a lot sweeter. At first I thought it was the recipe but then I realized I added a ton of sugar by concentrating the juices first. Still turned out fantastic :) Great recipe just in time for the holidays!

[@keiththomas3352]

Another tip. If you don't have high enough proof base moonshine you could leave the lid off the pot & let the cider or Juice reduce & become more concentrated.

[@pooppy87]

George, your awesome man!!

[@stevedarnall8556]

Shit , it will also make you forget what you were going to say ! lol , That was funny George , that made my day I haven't laughed that good in a long time. Thanks for the video, stay safe, take care and I hope everyone has a very Happy Thanksgiving.

[@doodsblackhawks]

You are great at your recipes for distilling!!!

[@Daniel-ht4wr]

Hey Barley and Hops, I know you are old school, but im sure you've heard of this "hard Seltzer" sensation, this stuff is cheap to make but expensive in stores. I would love to see you put your expertise to use in brewing and bottling this flavour neutral, low calorie Alcoholic beverage

[@devinegger4570]

Hey there! I’m no expert on hard seltzer, but I spent several years brewing kombucha commercially, and because letting kombucha carbonate itself would in turn create more alcohol than the legal .05% allowed we force carbonated all our beverages. From that standpoint the hard seltzer seems fairly simple: spirits + water + flavor then carbonate it. I’m sure if you used good water and good spirits you’ll come out with a product much better than what you can find in the store. Just my 2 cents...! Let me know if it works!

[@dillonmech7206]

[@edwardhelms7468]

I would like to be on that Christmas list. George

[@troycolton6240]

Wow that's totally different than mine. I boil down 3 gallons of apple juice into one gallon, (because we can't get frozen consintrated apple juice here in Canada for some reason ) one and a half cups brown sugar 2 cloves. Cool add one gallon of 150 to 165 proof. Then add one cinnamon stick to each jar. But i let it sit for at least a week before tasting. Seems to do the trick. Think I'll try this one to check it out. Thanks George!

[@danssv8]

[@nunovyobeeswax4177]

I made myself apple pie wine for my very first wine batch ever. Basically took apples, spiral slice & peeled them, and then run them in a blender with boiled brown sugar & apple seasoning mix water into an applesauce like substance. Filled a 5 gallon bucket 2/3 full of applesauce stuff, added water to top it off, and pitched yeast. Came out tasting like apple pie, crust and all, but I didn't know it was still fermenting a little bit when I bottled it, and ended up with apple pie champagne. Can't wait till my trees bloom up with apples again, this time around I wanna still out some from the next wine batch I make, and use the wine to cut the shine, and see how that turns out.

[@kennethw.puckett8988]

Ha George I will try this for sure.

[@spikelove9533]

We just made some pumpkin spice shine we soaked some pumpkin pie filling in some shine for a couple weeks then mixed up all spice and a lil ginger in the water and boiled it . The shine was 190 and we used the spiceed up water to proof the pie filling infused shine. Filter and we have pumpkin spice shine yummyness

[@MrChit-od9po]

Fuckin eh!!

[@IBEONECOOLCAT]

We pretty much use the same recipe....but we add 1 tsp of apple pie spice... gives it that "pie boost "....thanks George....your a wealth of knowledge...🥴🤪

[@patrickhalbert6377]

Forget the English language. Apple pie makes me walk like a toddler!

[@danthemann]

I noticed you used 'fall blend' unfiltered cider. What spices are in it that are not in your mix (or does it matter)? Happy distilling and happy hoilidays!

Hey thanks again, George. I was wondering how about Hibiscus. I came across some Hibiscus syrup with flowers. Should I make wine or mash and then steam through the flowers? The PH is different from the regular 5.2?

[@Vaingloriousone1]

just finished mixing 352 oz of white grape juice, 5.5 cups of sugar and 3 grams of Red Star Premier Blanc Yeast. I melted the sugar and placed the yeast in Luke warm water for 10 minutes b4 mixing it with the grape juice. It’s been an hour and I don’t see any bubbles in the airlock. Does it take longer to see the bubbles Did I mess up on the amount of sugar/yeast used? Any advise will be appreciated…thanks

[@danielpahoundis6321]

Awesome recipe george...I followed this recipe perfectly and by the way....right on time for the holidays....the response I've had from family and friends say it all..... awesome recipe and thanks again....

[@BarleyandHopsBrewing]

Fantastic!

[@ArminSheikh]

Hi George, Thanks for everything...I have a question. Is it ok to shelf the moonshine for months? Or it must be served as soon as possible and stored in a refrigerator or fridge?

[@harliethomas1378]

The great thing about the concentrate is you can mix it with some apple juice and have some charge set aside for the younger kids that has no alcohol but it's still some really good spiced cider and they don't feel left out up to you if you think this is right or wrong I guess

[@rohitjusta2488]

Hello Geroge wish you a very Happy Diwali !!! from India....wow it's a great reciepe...I really would like to go for it....its already started snowing at my home from today will enjoy doing it...

Are you using corn likker? I imagine that's what's traditionally used. Any suggestions as to what kind of likker to use?

[@edwardbeatty2082]

I am happy to have found your channel. I am still learning alot I am gunna try this however I believe my hydrometer is not working right, is there a way to test them? I also believe I am making good distilits but am not sure only a few people seem to like it. I have not tried the glycerol but will be next run. But still have that proff problem. I think it's like 180 but not sure. Is there a link on page for getting a new hydrometer?

[@brianmckibben2300]

run it thru a carbon filter to clean it up. Glycerin is to take some of the bite out of it but just soak some toasted oak in it. Water reads 0 on hydrometer to test it. don't mash over 15% or you will have problems. Run it thru again to up the proof in a pot still.

[@gussosa]

I have two questions. First, is Apple Pie Moonshine shelf stable or does it need to be stored in the fridge? Second. I made a batch, added cinnamon sticks and quarter apples for decoration, and got a sort of slime in them. Why could that be?

[@babakkhoramdin8639]

hi george i hope you doing ok.. i have question, which part of distill i have to keep and which part i have to throwing out ? when i start from 40 liter mesh i throwing out first 700 milligram then i keep the rest... is that right? thank you if you could help me with that.

[@denisdendrinos4538]

I've just finished distilling a apple and raisen wash, some of it smells amazingly like apple and want to use that as the shine for this. With the calculator mentioned, is it just the straight forward "watering down" calculator?

[@BarleyandHopsBrewing]

yes
