Can you NITRO whiskey to make it SMOOTHER???

[@thatjonguy103]

This makes me think Brianna would be both the most fun and most terrifying person to be stuck in an apocalypse scenario with.

[@felironmaden1429]

yeah, it's be LOTS of fun, til she got hungry. Then your ass is goin on the grill!

[@URnickel_MY2cents]

As long as she brings the whisky, we'll be fine!!! 😂😂😂

[@Mr_Dopey]

Imagine being stuck in an elevator with her.

[@doubleT84]

... in ANY scenario. 😂

[@markmeyer403]

She’s the goat

[@Moriarty818]

I love that the tribe has its own Stig. A nerdy science stig. Keep it coming!

[@Heroism4499]

I am 80% confident that Brianna has some type of synesthesia where she can see what she can taste/smell. She always has the weirdest tasting notes that no one else ever gets.

[@adamritchey4209]

Never thought about this before. This is 100% accurate.

[@danm8004]

Brian? Lol

[@AleshaM30]

I think it is a combination of her lack of traditional flavor vocabulary for comparisons and a willingness to be the wild child and free associate experiences in non-traditional ways that may reference other senses, but still have a flavor component.

[@danieldoyle6305]

Love the deep nerdy dive! Also gotta ask if you can bring back "Let's Get Nerdy" for any more sciencey episodes. That was so freaking hype I want to make it my ring tone 😂

[@Cog1123]

Yes!! Absolutely!!!

[@KevinVanGalder]

And just like that, Brianna's music career was born. Future generations will read about this day and curse us for not taking action in the early years... 😀

[@infinitysdice2826]

Great episode; and I'd certainly enjoy if the unknown alchemist can continue to make appearances in the future.

[@pitdoctor]

We need more the Unknown Alchemist! For some reason I also want to see him and the worlds fanciest man together. With a side of Brian Brushwood

[@Michelle-1]

this would be perfection!

[@diannacolls]

Was touring Mcallan in Scotland about 3 months ago and we were given some of the spirit after the second distill to taste. When the guide asked us to describe what we were experiencing I said, "Candied Dried Soft Furry Pineapple with a chew" and a total rando in the group yells out "That's SO Brianna!" and of course I responded with, "You Magnificent Bastard!" .... we laughed, his wife laughed and my friends (who had no clue what was going on) were so confused! The rando turned out to be from Kentucky - small world huh!?

[@MoreMushroomThanMan]

That Fight Steal & Drink logo… Is TOP TIER gentlemen… You Magnificent Bastards! ♥️🕊️🙏

[@markgutsmiedl7696]

Is it possible that the less "burn" on the nitro whiskey is because it has increase the evaporation of the ethanol? You would need to measure the proof before and after.

[@shooter122795]

I want to know this!

[@iwz4life]

I think that's what the cloud in the flask is.

[@stephennadworny8401]

Highly entertaining episode. Very fun idea. Brianna continues to impress me. I'm so glad she is part of the team. Rex, you do a great job too, but Brianna brings so much energy! Keep it up everybody.

[@chrishuber3814]

I just want to know who’s doing a “Brianna” remix. Like, OMG, SOooooo good! 😂

[@christiankoch9123]

Definitely more of the Alchemist! And I would love to see how you would blend whiskey with whatever food experiments he wants to do! More please.

[@basketballjuice]

You should combine this with the beer poking idea - carbonated poked whiskey sounds like a completely new experience - and if I remember correctly might help with the bitter notes.

[@THESLlCK]

are you trying to make a glass overflow lol

[@lvcsslacker]

yo, I like where this is going

[@adammurray9418]

And the distillery burned down. These are too high of proof and will catch on fire.

[@basketballjuice]

@@THESLlCK I'm trying to justify an unnecessary purchase is what I'm trying to do

[@mthiffau]

Yes, more alchemist please!

[@rhegafd]

Was the goal to hide the identity of the "carbonater?" Every time the camera cut to him talking, the shot was of his beard and the table lol. Mysterious man that swoops in and carbonates your booze. Its like Wilson from Tool Time but in reverse.

[@blanktom6049]

hah! seriously! The guy wasn't in the room with them though. He shot this in a separate location and they just spliced it together to look like a conversation. Props to the acting!

[@Wookie_oo7]

Maybe the hint is in his name, the unknown alchemist. Bit hard to be unknown if you show his face.

[@heathen_gaming7195]

So happy to see a channel use my favorite 😍 highland park for the win

[@TE_53349]

i know its not a whiskey but i love the smoothness and roundness of lambs navy rum. best rum by far

[@derekredmond9164]

After watching I’m now curious about carbonating over sweet whiskeys with CO2 to see if it can improve the flavor.

[@-user_redacted-]

I've had a couple of high abv carbonated meads where it works well to counter the sweetness, so id imagine it could be done.

[@casualflight3359]

the interlude was so hype! "LETS GET NERDY!"

[@patricknews7221]

Love me episodes with the Unknown Alchemist...would love some in depth chemistry explanation about whiskey and sensory experience.

[@canadianwhiskysmith6453]

I have the Viski Martini Glasses and love them! Oh...and the whisky part of the episode was fun, too 😆

[@Daniel-zq3wq]

"Let's get nerdy" is a mfin banger, we need a full track

[@unclemikiesworld]

Considering that Austin has become a bit of a hotbed for a stand-up comedy you guys should consider hosting a weekly open mic night you never know who may walk through the door

[@stoddern]

The bitter notes from the CO2 is cause it changes the PH of what you are carbonating it, in the aquarium hobby we deal with this if we dissolve CO2 for better plant growth

[@fawnn1644]

They explained this in the video. The dissolved CO2 interacts with water to create carbonic acid. Obviously that acid is gonna change the PH

[@Ellrindir]

I don't know who was in charge of making the "Let's Get Nerdy" EDM track, but I see you, I appreciate you.

[@RxSquatch]

Haven’t finished watching yet, but wondering whether the introduction of gas followed by the pouring out of the whisk(e)y ends up lowering proof, and thus making the spirits taste smoother.

[@IvIidnight]

Dang it, Rex! You know that you cannot extend the ringing of the glass without the bottle!

[@WhiskeyTribe]

BRAAAD!!!

[@IvIidnight]

@@WhiskeyTribe 😂😂😂😂

[@BenWaldorf-ph2on]

Need a full Let's Get Nerdy track, that drop went hard! Need the rest!

[@martimxavier9690]

13:29 now i wanna know what that censored word was

[@dougmccullough7977]

Pretty sure they are talking about Briana eating babies. I think most people know babies are tender because they haven't developed muscle tissue yet. Mmmm......babies.

[@AnitaHandy65]

My best guess is “infanticide”

[@justinbanks2380]

This just became my new party banger, "get nerdy!!!" 😂

[@janronschke7525]

Try one with nitrous oxide aka laughing gas! It has a slightly sweet taste!

[@chubby_deity3143]

The best dad joke ever is chickpeas, also featured by Rex in another video. I will die on this hill.

[@MSaucedo760]

@4:16 , I thought it went right thru their heads 😅 .. Both had a deer-in-a-headlight vibe 😂

[@deanuemura8061]

Too many comments to read through so apologies if someone else already said the same thing. My first thought concerned the perceived reduction in ethanol "burn". Question: Does the ABV drop after treating with the gas (and by how much)?

[@Thybr1d9]

I look forward to the inevitable 3rd channel where Brianna develops & explores a whiskey inspired EDM scene

[@PatrickStendahl]

We need that ID tho. 🙌

[@sethcarson5212]

I genuinely don't know what they said that was censored. Like, usually you can tell what was said but they had to cover it for legal\moral reasons. This time, no idea. It could literally be anything and it's killing me to not know.

[@maxng7211]

I really hope the "Let's get Nerdy" theme song comes back every time the Unknown Alchemist comes on

[@firedustman]

let's get nerdy is an absolut banger

[@cfox109]

Does the pressure make the alcohol evaporate? Just remember people pressurizing and inhaling the alcohol with a bike pump. Made me think of that when I saw the cloud, and the fact you're saying it's not as "hot"

[@oddballartist]

Ukeg makes a nitro kit that I have tried on a few things mr black it's amazing, but flavored rums brings the alcohol forward.

[@OldFashionedWays]

very interesting experiment. great time. cheers

[@Hickeroar]

Brianna with the Honeycomb Synesthesia!

[@striker-zq1040]

This reminds me of a family guy episode where they made "vodka beer". It's 40% vodka, carbonated in a can.

[@dumpeeplarfunny]

11:16 That's the most Australian "no" I've ever heard happen accidentally.

[@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies]

Okay…. All kinds of experiments on this channel… time to go ALL the way and experiment with different methods of consuming whiskey…. starting with “Should you butt chug whiskey?”

[@bobsapdagger]

How do you think nitro compared to a few drops of water or downproofing?

[@RikKuijpers]

Yeah, more of the alchemist please!

[@fretless05]

If this dials back the ethanol while keeping the flavors, how does it differ to adding a bit of water to a high proof spirit?

[@oscarplascencia7149]

Why did the honeycomb reference make perfect sense 😂😂

[@jimlasswell4491]

There was a bar in Venice Florida called Tap & Cork. Guinness stout was always on the menu. Often there would be craft beers that required nitro. The owner made the mistake of pushing the Guinness with straight nitro also instead of the proper 25%/75% (co2/nitro) 'beer gas'. The Guinness had half the flavor with a snow white head rather than light tan. Our fellow customers from across the pond were appalled, as was I. A shipment of Guinness (one quarter keg) would last a month. Most of the other quarter kegs barely lasted a week.

[@justinmcwilliams6759]

Soda Stream can certainly carbonate whiskey, I've done it numerous times with ours. Also Gin and wine.

[@stillcrazy4023]

Plus the UA makes a killer cubano! 😊

[@BREWtaliTEA_]

Listen i see the marketing in the cute one and the funny one, but two of you? Outrageous. 😂

[@reidclag]

Man that tune at the end slaps

[@NoxDNA]

I love this channel.🤘😤🤘

[@anthonybutlergam3k3y_twitch]

This whole episode was nuts. Let's get nerdy shall be the notification of messages.

No lie, that jam at the end is fire!

[@WhiskyNeighbour]

Love these science experiments. Fun as always, thanks for sharing!

[@justinbanks2380]

The alchemist is back!!

[@Slycandyman]

If u put 2x speed on during that let’s get nerdy bit it’s actually twice as funny

[@shooter122795]

Question. How long does the nitro last in a bottle/jar? There is a guy in Kentucky that makes an apple pie that has no ethanol burn and he never tells us how. Could this be it?

[@fr2ncm9]

I'd like to see you try carbonating different alcoholic beverages like Tequila and Rum.

[@noahleach7690]

had no idea people cared about tequilas flavour

[@edwardmobley7126]

I have a drink mate, it works better if you shake it after carbonating it before opening it

[@TheNewSithBlog]

Let's get nerdy!!!

[@blanktom6049]

Dude! Movie magic!

[@Brodysseus]

Flavor is a smell, huh? Seems like that would've been the perfect segue if Air Up was a sponsor. Would be great to have come next dry week.

[@MatthewSmith-cp3hu]

so if carbonating takes away some sweetness they you should carbonate one of the crown apple or peach that you said was too sweet, it would drop the sweetness and maybe make it right on target to be pretty good - also i wonder what it would be like if the bottle of sweet liquor was in the freezer and then pumped up with carbonation

[@mikebond9315]

the Tyrannosaurus shirt joke actually killed me

[@hakarthemage]

Glad to see your secret guest back

[@PetterBruland]

Damn it, you hair is so great. I just hate it.

[@HealthyDisrespectforAuthority]

Austin?..oh ohh oohhh ohhh..y'all should do a colab with that brewery out in Dripping Springs..umm Family Business Beer Co.. I double Dare ya to hand fizzy whiskey to Geno and Jensen. Invite them out.. maybe Jensen will show up in the impala. And now I want to nitro some flavored rums..mango maybe... and raspberry. Rum soda sounds fun.

[@W.O.P.R]

That was fun

[@morriganravenwolf]

I'm waiting for the V-shirt to be invented. I could do it myself, but that would require me to do things. And money and stuff.

[@Andr3wTime]

You don’t want to hear this, but that very sweet crown royal peach might work well carbonated. The sweetness balancing the co2 bitterness?

[@toddavis8151]

You seriously need to collaborate with ‘How to Drink’

[@awl98]

Keep them coming. Very interesting

[@ps2killer1]

i still want to ask this did you try mixing half or the nitro into the CO2 and see what that Tases like ???

[@Nikoli420]

gonna have to break out my whip cream maker and test this

[@alvinmousseau1100]

Awesome video

[@SSR_Virgo_Tiger]

The headless nitro whiskey maker. So Halloweenie.

[@luanjoub3rt]

SCIENCE! I love it

[@jamieleblanc7504]

See what some M.S.G. would do for taste 😋 🎉🎉🎉

[@nobodyimportant5417]

Thats an easy one to try, since MSG is everywhere. A couple grains in ardbeg makes it taste even meatier. Much more than just a trace makes ardbeg taste like metallic poison. It's weird, but I've only tried it with ardbeg. Terragon on cheap Canadian whiskey makes it taste more like a floral speyside. I do weird things to my whiskey, apparently.

[@chriswalters2583]

Have you ever done vaping whiskey? It is very flavorful.

[@GlennDeles]

Use noble gasses Hydrogen, Neon, Argon, and most importantly Krypton. Would they add bubbles without creating acids.

[@d-rot]

Hydrogen isn't a noble gas. Noble gases are (basically) inert. H isn't. See also; the Hindenberg. It could get spendy, Argon is cheap and readily available. Helium probably next so. Neon, Xenon, and Krypton.

[@GlennDeles]

@@d-rot My bad, I meant Helium.

[@ascendedvegeta]

Does anybody know what they said at 13:28? I keep watching it trying to figure it out but I have no idea and its killing me

[@BlindmanDru]

I am trying to figure it out too, but nothing I have come up with matches the "not enough supplies"

[@BenCove.]

So when is Get Nerdy coming to Spotify?

simply aerating the whiskey, like you would red wine, makes it smoother too

Out of curiosity how does it effect a rye conpared to the effect of a bourbon?

is there a link for unkown alchemist?
