Can We Turn Doritos Into Bourbon?

[@StillIt]

Huge thanks to the team at Ironroot for putting up with my antics for a week! Make sure to experience their bourbon team, it's mind-blowingly good! And nah, Im not back in Texas again. We just sat on this video for a little while.

[@KillCoMentalMusings]

GAH! I still need to visit Ironroot someday. They were the first Texas whiskey I got my hands on, I've loved their stuff ever since.

[@StillIt]

@@KillCoMentalMusings dude, you gotta do it!

[@KillCoMentalMusings]

@@StillIt It's on the bucket list. Driving in TX is bonkers so I'd need to stay a few nights in Dallas, then hop on a plane again to get to Austin. 🛫

Dude this was like an episode of a TV show; super professional, well done!

[@PhatTrumpet2]

Ironroot needs their own channel! They're all so great on camera.

[@ArthurEKing8472]

I have a different (and possibly better?) Suggestion for the removal of the oil. Just chill the whole thing in a walk-in freezer and you SHOULD be able to return the oil to a solid state, and you can just remove the whole puck.

[@adamparisi745]

I was thinking the exact same thing.

[@codename495]

That’s only going to work if they use an oil that is solid at room temp, which vegetable oil isn’t. i

[@ArthurEKing8472]

@@codename495 ? No... If it was solid at room temperature you wouldn't need to put it into the freezer in the first place! Everything has a point where it will freeze, and any of the vegetable oils are no different in that they will turn into a waxy solid eventually. In the case of doritos, they use a mixture of Canola (-10 C); corn, (-11 C); and Sunflower (-17 C) So they just need to chill it to around -20 Celcius (right around -4 farenheit) and YES the oils WOULD indeed freeze solid. Seeing as my original post LITERALLY said "chill the whole thing in a walk-in freezer" and industrial walk-in-freezers average between 0 and -20 farenheit, this would 100% freeze that oil solid. Seeing as they are all on the top, it's a comparatively simple matter to remove the whole chunk of ice (that contains the alcohol but in low enough concentrations that it's not going to stop the ice from forming) and just cut off the top chunk that contains the nasty fats. This way you're removing 99.9% of the fats that smelled/tasted nasty to begin with. Ergo, you're going to get a much better over-all end product.

Buccees is an experience. When i visited my buddy in Houston. His friend explained Buccees by opening with "I would not eat off a bathroom floor, but if i had to... I'd eat off the floor at Buccees". This was magic.

[@brewhunter5592]

I ran something similar about 6 months back. I let my mash rest before fermentation and drained from the bottom to get the oil off the top after it cooled. I did not do a all Doritos though and it was only about 10% of my grain bill. Mine came out cheesy but not in a bad way. Aging it on oak, and chili peppers atm.

[@jeffreyschutt7451]

so good love it that oil on top no wounder our arteries clog up and we have heart attacks nice

[@brandonharris6623]

Dude, I grew up in the Sherman Denison area! My son Justin still lives there. I never knew there was a distillery there. Next time I go visit, I'll have to stop in.

[@SamDelany]

Awesome as always. Would love to see how an Armagnac could be made at home; Google seems to be silent on the home distiller approach

[@Aenima308]

Wow I’m so glad to see you at a Buccee’s!! We love them here in Texas. It’s a staple

[@jackus217]

Just for future reference if you have compressed air blow that over the end of the tube to start the syphon

[@jamieallen8728]

That was an awesome video guys. Great for the guys at Ironroot to be up for it!

Amazing love seeing one of my favorite youtubers come to my favorite local Distillery!

Well,getting corn meal is super easy off the shelf,yeast as well but idk what's going to carry the enzymes needed for starch conversion....in southwest Virginia where I'm from,malted barley only exists on Amazon

[@chemistryofquestionablequa6252]

You can make your own by sprouting barley then roasting it

[@badtr8s]

Awesome episode! I really enjoyed the antics. Been watching for a while now. I'm a beer brewer for the most part and have been curious about distilling but cant. I just moved to Texas and have a quantity of prickly pear cactus on my property. Was thinking of the use in beer. I'm also curious about a prickly pear cactus Rum. would like to see something about it. and thanks for the heads up on a local Distillery. I will be looking for it on my next run to the store. Cheers

[@davesmith3562]

Jesse was worth a watch. Like another viewer said was like watching a TV episode. Like these meme spirits you do keep up the good work 👍

[@vagabondwastrel2361]

What you could have done instead of siphon it out is to drill a hole just below the oil line and let gravity do all of the work.

[@andyh7537]

Doritos... the best flaked corn. 🤣 Easiest way to remove oil is to simply cool the whole thing down, and remove the oil as solids.

This is the second KZbin channel that I watch that went to buccees in Melissa TX.

Hey Jessie Thank you. Informative as always however, your last word were… it was alright but you wouldn’t do it again. Is that because there was to much work involved or you made it once and that’s it???

[@chrissturgeon1571]

I'd hit that bloody mary, but as a Canuck, I'd make mine a Dorito's Caesar, extra spicy. Along that vein, I just upvoted to 666 likes. You're having too much fun, Jesse!

I would have drilled a hole in the fermenter just below oil level.

Epic Video

[@drdentin3215]

Sorry this is off topic. I have been a home beer brewer for years and distilling scares me. My worry is how do you know/test that you are not making methanol? I would be interested in putting my toe in in the water with distilling. Could you point me to one of your videos that would address the safety issues and perhaps an all around beginner still. I have watched the Air still (coffee pot sized video) and that is not for me. Thanks Bill

[@chemistryofquestionablequa6252]

You're not going to make any appreciable amount of methanol brewing or distilling at home.
