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).

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!

[@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!

[@geraldbaxter321]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@Matthew41188]

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

[@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 ;-)

[@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

[@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 🥃

[@andrewcwight2967]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@doodsblackhawks]

You are great at your recipes for distilling!!!

[@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...🥴🤪

[@DurbinsBourbon]

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

[@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

[@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.

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

[@johncunningham739]

Off subject..if i have a 2 inch pot still. My average proofs start out 130 - 140. If i add to the column how many inches per every 10 or so proof addition?

[@BillMcGirr]

The highest proof I’ve ever seen from a pot still is 160... But it dropped pretty fast. Settling in at 145 for most of the run. You’re column length won’t affect proof much. Glenmorange distillery has 17 foot tall columns but only distillates to 120 proof. In order to increase proof you’ll need a reflux column and the skills to run it correctly. Without bubble plates the highest proof I can achieve in 1 distillation is 174... But I can keep it there for MOST of the run by putting it in full reflux occasionally.👍🥃

[@phillipgriffin]

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

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?

[@donaldarcher1107]

What type of moonshine are you using? Would alcohol from a sugar wash work?

[@davidmcgovern3931]

Hi George, Here in the UK Apple cider is a fermented alcoholic drink, is that what you are using? It seems from your description that your apple cider is not fermented.

[@theomnipresent1]

No, in the US cider usually means unfiltered non-preserved apple juice. Otherwise we call it hard cider if alcoholic.

[@texascrossbowdude636]

Did you make a video on the clear version?

[@adambakker206]

George.... do add glycerine to you your shine before adding to the cooled apple juice spice mixture? At what proof do add the glycerine, before or after dilution? Thanks for all you do for the hobby

[@TheWolfyDaddy]

Hello George, are you familiar with German/Austrian Glühwein (mulled wine)? It is very common over there around this time of year, with red wine instead of your apple cider/juice. A very nice and festive touch is to have a cone of solid sugar that was soaked with high-proof liquor and set aflame placed on top of the bowl (with the help of some pinchers) with melted hot sugar dripping into the drink. It is know there as "FeuerZangenBowle" (Feuer=fire Zange=pinchers/pliers Bowle=bowl); google the term and you'll get the idea.

Love apples and apple pie moonshine

[@dillonmech7206]

I prefer it finished around 90 proof (inverted sugar wash from the reflux that I'v been saving the hearts from) I use some vanilla extract and also honey about a cup honey instead of white sugar, and half the brown sugar and alittle medium oak chip then age 6mts. I will poor off the clearer stuff and give it away as a gift and drink the murky stuff that settled to the bottom myself. Just some ideas for ya'all. Merry Christmas in August right!

[@canadianpatriot5577]

Anyone have issue of separation? Next day it looked like ... let's say "backwash". The slightest shake made it look good again, but I want it to look good all the time. I'm going to try running the mix through a coffee filter, and see if that solves the problem.

[@BarleyandHopsBrewing]

If you use unfiltered juice the solids like to separate on their own. A quick shake mixes them up again. If you like the stuff that doesn't need a shake use the clear filtered cider with the juice. I made both in the video

[@wantsomething3319]

Thanks for another great video. Did you ever see Popcorn Sutton's "Last Dam Likker I'll Ever Make" movie on KZbin? He fills a Coke bottle at one point, is that all the heads out of that big batch?
