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.

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!

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
@devinegger45704 жыл бұрын
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!

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.

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?
@BillMcGirr4 жыл бұрын
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.👍🥃

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.

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? They add "back ends", I'm assuming that's tails, too. How did they do it without creating methanol in the first jar? Just curious on your thoughts. Good documentary though. Thanks in advance.

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.
