Super happy to see George is coming back, hit me up fellas would pay to talk brew with you guys!

[@gearjammer0445]

Hey bearded.. say “hypothetically” someone from sipp ordered one? Cause what i see can’t even own one there. Per state laws. How does one Aquire? 🧐

[@t3dwards13]

I've recently received my Vevor. Do you have a video using it?

[@mauistevebear]

George is responsible for my passion for home distilling! George taught me everything from A to Z. George is legendary! George, Bearded & Jesse...KZbin's OG of home distilling!

[@Blarsen1971]

Totally agree! All those evenings in the shed, building my own still, and listening to George on YT. SOO glad he is back! 🥃

[@KYLE-jm6tr]

George is so great! Taught me alot. Glad to see that you are well. Take care brother.

[@lawrenceboyle6820]

I totally agree! Really missed George and go back and watch him and bearded and Jessie. But I really wish bearded would get a mic to ware and or add curtains or something in the room to kill the echo. He has a nasal voice and it’s hard for some of us to make out what is slurred with the echo. Really like hearing it all. Also he cut George off when George was about to say why he’s been off the Chanel. Not good. Not good at all. Dang. Now I don’t know???

[@lakedog3616]

Me too !

[@mikefleming660]

Love George. Missed him so much. He taught me just about everything I know about making bourbon. Hats off to George.

[@Miata822]

George is great at introducing the beginner to the hobby. He has the endless patience of a teacher.

[@skellym37061]

Great to see George is coming back!Many have missed his great video's!!!!

[@jessbarclay472]

George was the ONLY informative channel in my “apprenticeship” days & im grateful for his explanations….& now he’s thinking of returning I’m hoping George will do the things that make HIM happy & drag us along for the ride!!! I’m so pleased he’s had a well earned break. Only do what you like & not as frequently, so you can enjoy the return n have fun. I’m super happy he’s well n rested. Don’t take any pressure George!!!

[@colinmacvicar2507]

George is back. This is awesome. Can’t wait for that first notification that he has a new video.

[@BeardedBored]

Me too!

[@slobberinrocco3247]

Bearded thank you so much for that piece from George. It’s so nice to see him it’s nice to know he’s OK.

[@South_City]

So very glad to see that George is doing well and plans to make videos again. Hearing this has made my entire weekend. Thank you Bearded & Bored for being the bearer of such good news. 🙂

[@scottclay4253]

WoW! Cherry bounce and our missing guru in one amazingly video. Thank you, Brother Bearded! Maybe Brewbird can get that long overdue interview now. Thanks again, very very happy to see for myself George is well

[@kitobi10660]

god I'm so happy George is ok, i really missed you dude, your the godfather of homebrew and distilling that everyone can understand, George, Bearded and Jessie all together in a session has got to be a bucket list moment. keep going Sir, your loved and appreciated more then you realise.

[@FishGeeek]

Thanks Beard! So glad to hear things are good! "Remember, don't take a laxative and a sleeping pill together"

[@georgewilson60]

It makes me so happy that George is ok and a bonus of going to start posting videos again at some point! He is the first big channel I found that got me interested and started in the hobby along with building some of my own equipment and controllers!! Cheers and stay safe!!

[@BrianGski34]

It’s great seeing you two together again. George, you allowed me to take a curiosity and turn it into a great hobby. The world is a better place with you in front of the camera!

[@jasondelfosse7813]

Man, I'm so glad to see George again! He opened a whole new world to me. And bearded and Jesse have helped in so much. Thank you guys! George looking forward to what ever you may do!!

[@mustavertwang]

So glad that George is to resume the polite and practical videos.Made my day!

[@timmurphy8993]

Wow, this is great news...you said it all. George was my foundation for learning about the hobby and art behind the process that my family was involved in 100 years ago. I'm so excited for future videos and you can bank on me tuning in!

[@reevinriggin3570]

Well, HOT DAMN!!! Awesome to see George back. He taught me how to be a distiller. Jesse helped, but George got down in the weeds and taught me how it's done. For that, I owe him. Thanks for all you do Bearded and Thanks to you George! Cheers! Looking forward to more great content!

[@gregdavey4897]

So thankful bearded you always bring out great content👊, but so great full you kept in contact with George, he was the first I learnt from, and then Jessie and you for great recipes and inspiration, it’s been such a learning curve you three have helped me so much , will be great to see George back ❤️

[@mushroomman1856]

We have Missed you George.

[@kmackiss]

Great news !!!! In 1981 or 82 , I ordered " The Lore Of Sill Building " , out of the back pages of Field & Stream magazine . My brother and I followed the info and made some sugar shine . What a hot liquor it was . But thats how we started and that was the best info we had . Then I saw ( decades down the road ) George's videos and what a difference in info will make in your final product . Brother past in 2020 , I still continue , and knock one back with him and with some music every night . From a brother in San Antonio , WELCOME BACK G. D. Thank you Bearded One !

[@wiseguysoutdoors2954]

George is my inspiration. I think you and I started the same time. I made cherry bounce. I used both tart and sweet cherry juice, cracked corn, malted barley and locally sourced honey. It turned out spectacularly!! And, having heritage from Islay, George gave me the confidence to try my own single malt barley spirit, that I call Pennsylvania scotch. So excited to hear from my mentor George, again! My success and pride in this wonderful hobby was because of our buddy, George!! Salute to you, George, my friend!! The best thing I learned from George is to ferment on the fruit of which flavor you desire, because, once you do the soaking of the fruit, it intensifies the natural flavors.

[@mikemike8093]

I've been watching Jesse for quite some time now, and he has led me to you and George. The amount of information from the trio, is freaking awesome!!! I'm greatly appreciative of your channels. It's almost an overload, but I'm good at taking notes. Keep the content coming. Thank you so much for your hard work and great content.

[@jjleda7324]

I'm glad George is coming back. He's the reason I started this hobby.

[@stevenbeaumont1698]

Glad to see George is coming back. been sadly missed . the first homebrewing channel i sub to a long time ago.

[@mustyditch4703]

Goerge!!! You haven't aged a day. Good to see you. Thanks Bearded ... for doing this.

[@BeardedBored]

We wore him down, he had to come back:-)

[@bigguylittlebike211]

George is the best. His style of showing how to do stuff is the best. He showed that anyone can do it.

[@PurebloodPatriot207]

I never could've succeeded in this hobby without George. Glad he's back! We've all missed him.

[@user-pt7ut8pv5z]

Glad to hear George is coming back love watching him . He's how I found your channel can't wait to watch him again

[@Miata822]

First, it's great to see _You_ back ... and now George too? Fantastic! You are both a credit to the hobby. Vevor, your sponsor, I started with their basic 8 gal kit. As I learned more I tinkered and modified it with Vevor and Amazon parts. Now it can run in various configurations, original, 2" column w/ copper lining or packing, deflag or not, plates or not, worm or shotgun condenser. It's a great tool to learn on and, unlike an air still, easy to grow as your skills do. I've learned so much and been inspired by you, George, Jesse, and Alan Bishop (One Piece At A Time Distilling Institute) here on KZbin and from the forum. I hoist a dram of my finest hypothetical single malt to you all.

[@rafer2002]

Thanks George for your service , hope you gain peace of mind.

[@KYLE-jm6tr]

So good to see you again George! You ignited that spark. Thank you for all the time you put into teaching all of us. We love you

[@dennisstahl7621]

Nice recipe Bearded. Thank you for your efforts! Yay George is back! That is awesome!

[@barrone]

So thankful George is back!!🇺🇸

[@dehor4]

George is only I bought a small still and why I distill. He gave so much of the basics, and taught me every step of the way. Today I make 10 gallons a year, usually spend 2-3 weekends in fall for first 5 gallons, the 2-3 weekends in Spring for the 2nd 5 gallon. To this day, I pull up his videos to make sure I do not mess up my corn bourbon grain mashes. His video on making a water chiller out of air conditioner I repeated. His video of using fish aquarium heaters to keep my mash at a perfect temp was copied ETC. If he does 1 video every 2 months, I'll be the happiest subscriber. Welcome back George!!! yes!!

[@hondo2757]

George helped me understand what are essential basics of distilling. i had been Distilling some time with some success but he took me from guess my best to actually understanding it as a craft and science

[@wayneportors2243]

Welcome back George I've missed you so glad your back.

[@hick-a-rican1260]

Uncle George!!! Miss you my Man!

[@murraykerr5751]

Welcome back George. I will be eternally grateful for your help and guidance in my distillation journey. I have learned an enormous amount from your informative, easy to understand videos. Distillation has become a bit of an obsession for me after 5 years of enjoying the hobby. I would love to see you do some content at a more advanced level to help me in my continuing journey. I am grateful to live in New Zealand where we enjoy more realistic laws regarding distillation. I truly am really glad to see you back and greatly appreciate your efforts and the time you have put in to growing this hobby all round the world. Many thanks George.

[@fastgnat]

YAY!!! I'm so happy, George is the mentor I never met. Everything I learned about distilling is 90% from George's videos. Cheers to George!

[@karlfowler3742]

I just Hypothetically finished your Chocolate Banana Brandy Liqueur Recipe and it is the best thing I have made to date. Everyone loves it.

[@StillIt]

Cool tip to stick the stick on top for easy extraction. Great to hear your voice again George. Looking forward to see what you do in the future!

[@mrd3863]

Nice to have George back!

[@HalifaxUser]

Welcome Back George 🙂

[@johnponzetti1311]

George!!! Miss you man!!! Really love your videos, and please release more content

[@justsome-guy7596]

Welcome back George - good to see that rumours of your passing were greatly exaggerated.

[@skinnersmith6912]

Glad to see George back. And I have a gallon of 5 year cherry bounce ready to bring out for this Christmas.

[@shawnbrett3136]

Welcome back George

[@JoshuaHockom]

Super glad to hear George is coming back!! Thanks for delivering such good news!!

[@normvachon8975]

So nice to see George again can,t wait to see him on his sight

[@BeardedBored]

[@janhdebuhr]

Awesome to see George again! 🎉Hope he comes back and continues to share with the community!

[@shotgunfringe]

Glad to hear George is back and still with us!!!

[@gettin-sendy]

Sorry to hear of your passing George, 🤣 good to see you have your life back. 👍 Seriously, welcome back.

[@johanwaldolf5722]

A huge and warm welcome back to you George! We have missed you.

[@dougchaney6723]

It is so good to see George again!!! He was my instructor at the beginning of Covid.

[@johnkwesif]

Man I literally had arguments with people about George. People were saying he was deceased and I would ask where they got that information. Long story short no one could prove it and you have no idea the smile I had on my face just to see that George was okay and I cannot wait for his next video.

[@jdoedoenet]

Awesome recipe, can't wait to give it a try. SOOOO DAMN HAPPY to see George again - alive and well! We missed you sir. Seriously. Big love from Australia ❤

[@hillbillyfred9804]

Glad to hear George is coming back. I would watch his videos like an online class. His instructions were detailed enough to add to my learning journal.

[@OVRCOME]

GEORGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So very happy to see you! After spending what has to be DAYS watching your videos and learning so much from you I am so happy to see you back! I hope when you come back you can do it in a healthy way! Also glad you have had some R&R!

[@mikesmith2696]

Very happy to see George is doing well I have missed him and the stuff he does

[@julianmorrin6999]

Jessie from Still It sent me here. Have been using them both as references, now starting to work through your back catalog as well. Here in NZ distillation for personal use is permitted, so the access to and range of equipment and supplies is good. The knowledge on these channels is definitely what makez tye difference, provides the inspiration and, as you say, the sense of community.

[@wiseguysoutdoors2954]

My cherry bounce recipe started with (for a 5 gallon mash) 6 lbs cracked corn, 2 1/2 lbs malted barley, 1 gallon each tart and sweet cherry juice, and 16 oz of local honey, ( I warmed the honey in the cherry juice and water for the mash) and 4 lbs of raw sugar. Then, the finished spirit soaked in half tart and half sweet cherries. I think have one pint yet. It is phenomenal!!

[@user-tireauction]

So glad to see uncle George is doing well, miss your great help and info.

[@mR_LoPeZ86]

F**k Yea!!! 2 of my favorite ppl and biggest reasons for hypothetically getting into the hobby. cant wait to see more of both of you gents

[@LP23D6]

Good to hear George is coming back. I have always enjoyed his videos, his content and his humor.

[@thomvinson]

Yay, George! I am excited! I used to do a Cherry Cordial that was very much like your cherry bounce, I did it in a five-gallon bucket that I kept topping off with fresh booze or cherries. I used to press the spent fruit to reclaim the booze to put back in the bucket. I kept the last batch rolling for several years before I bottled up everything to move to Texas. The only spice I used was vanilla bean.

[@lindsaydean5059]

Great to see George back. Such a wealth of knowledge and such a great educator

[@davidmccarty4002]

So glad to hear George is doing good and taking care of himself first off, but soo glad to hear he is coming back!!! I enjoying watch all three of you guys!!!

[@ThinkFreely2012]

I'm really excited the see George is coming back! And you just reminded me of the jar full of cherrys and the jar of blueberries I've had soaking in the garage for a few years! Lol

[@superdupermax]

Yay! George! The reason i felt comfortable even starting doing this.... hypothetically.

[@ROYB79]

I am so glad to see George again. Welcome back George 🎉. thnxs for this interview at the end of your video.

[@mothox]

Amazing! Welcome Back George. I rewatched George and yourself talking thumpers yesterday. Time to make some Cherry Bounce 🥃

[@FrugalShave]

I am so excited that George is OK. I was really worried that Covid had gotten him or something. I even emailed him about a year ago, just wishing him well and telling him that I missed him.

[@notwithintolerance]

Watching you two geek out about y(our) shared passion makes me smile. You guys along with Jessie have done incredible work disseminating good information to the community. Many thanks!

[@robertjones5669]

Very Glad to hear George is alive and well!!

[@sixbeersdeep9915]

Learned so much from you guys. George was my first you tube find. I've made some awesome booze all these years lately..

[@pgprentice]

What I like to do for Xmas is prunes in gin. Put prunes into a ball jar, fill with gin. Leave for 12 - 18 months. The gin ends up tasting like a brandy and the prunes will help warm you up on a cold winter day. Welcome back George! We have missed you. Cheers.

[@lanier7mm1]

Yes!!! It is so good to see George. I am super excited.

[@davidpayne5235]

Thank you Bearded and so glad to see George back.
