Apple Rye Whiskey Distillation

[@jimrkeener]

Your determination is quite encouraging. Not only did you stick it out, but I know that you’ll tackle it again. Thanks.

[@jetmech-xh3fr]

Love the way you show the ups and downs and ultimate perseverance to the craft! Thank you! I enjoy every video!

[@scottclay4253]

Glad it worked out well. Thank you, Randy! Good one!

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Thanks again!

[@jeffholliman7897]

Glad to see that you finally got it run. A rye whisky is on my soon to do list. Love your videos Randy!

[@stillworksandbrewing]

thanks my friend

[@heraldhimes4357]

Thanks for a great channel and some great information

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Our pleasure!

The only problem with those refractometer is the ambient temperature makes a humongous difference. When it gets really really cold or really, really hot, it will read it differently.

[@stillworksandbrewing]

thanks for the tips

[@donniepowell7146]

Don’t know if it’s just my luck or not, but I really have to watch my still heating up or my rye will try to puke. Great videos.

[@kjdevault]

Throw in a knob of butter. It’ll change the surface tension and reduce puking. And make sure you are heating up slowly! Hope this helps!

[@stillworksandbrewing]

rye and oat can be troublesome lol

[@undergroundkustomz2796]

Randy!! Im doing this 😎

[@stillworksandbrewing]

cheers next time im thinking about using apple juice in the mash to see what happens

فرمول ساختن مشروب سیب برای من بفرستید❤

[@mikew.1902]

Well......Looks like it turned out just fine. Sometimes a recipe will surprise you. Have had what I thought were sure things be duds and ones that I thought would be terrible turn out darn good. Have never made anything that wasn't drinkable, just that some are better than others.....Salud (Cheers)

[@stillworksandbrewing]

I heard that cheers

[@heraldhimes4357]

Do you think the high ambient temperature stressed the yeast

[@stillworksandbrewing]

dont think so my formation room stays to 78 f

[@srp1957]

Which was better - before or after adding the apple juice?

[@stillworksandbrewing]

I think after it is on oak now in few weeks will let all know

[@williamjohnston4192]

For me to get the full effect of wood chips and or sticks I'm at 120 to 110 prof and add the apple juice after aging.

[@Rubberduck-tx2bh]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking also. But cutting it with apple juice vs distilled water (post-oaking) I might try on small scale to see if I like it.

[@stillworksandbrewing]

one day i would like to do a test on that adding oak 120 vs 80 proof

[@terrybaldwin1182]

Lesson learned, Murphy's Laws apply to Distilling too, Another great Video Randy, BTW. What toast level was on them chips??

[@stillworksandbrewing]

medium toast

[@mikeschickensandgarden3370]

Should I stop collecting when I get that oil that floats on the top or until it starts to get cloudy? Thank you sir

[@stillworksandbrewing]

I would say yes I stop at 40abv

[@AVERYBEAL-z9d]

You need to put a window AC into your brew house

[@adelmiri7990]

2.8 liter of 55% ABV needs only 1 Liter Of apple juice to be 40 % ! not 2 liters . your calculator is not right! now your final ABV is less than 32%

[@WheelingwiththeWheelers]

Yes, sorry Randy but he is right your ABV calculation is off! Great video anyway😅

[@GorillaGlueEnthusiast]

I know the free music is limited and I like your channel, appreciate all the recipes and mash bills, I'm just on the fence about using the same music as bearded and bored. At first I thought it was just a nod or shout out to him which is cool but it's several videos in now with that music. It's petty I know and I'm not gonna stop watching just something I think about when I watch, makes me just kinda cringe a little. Sorry.

[@stillworksandbrewing]
