Can You Use Kale To Make Vodka?

[@nigelsoftbottom9958]

Well done giving it a go mate. I developed this wash in 2013 and first shared it on home distiller.

[@edwardk3]

Any ideas about the stuck ferment?

[@davedrewett2196]

As a bit of a keen gardener I suspect there is a lot of difference in the content of nitrogen and phosphorus in the kale, based on the fertiliser it had access to when growing. Any brassica is a heavy feeder so I think if you used a lot of chicken poop as fertiliser that should help to make sure the kale had lots of yeast nutrients.

[@densamme1752]

Also most of the minerals is in the stems, so cutting them out might lower the nutritional levels more on a underfertilized crop.

[@cheezy2455]

it could be pesticides ..... if your not buying bio. but something from a super market

[@matthewbinnie5881]

My first thought re it stalling was that the ph had crashed… which in my experience, sugar washes are prone to do. Perhaps having some shells in there from the start would have buffered the ph, and therefore helped prevent it stalling? Just a thought. Thanks for the video. Your channel is the reason I got into the craft. Cheers from Christchurch, NZ.

[@danjames5223]

Yeah I agree , there are a fair few variables that will effect the fermentation , coming from a beer background I can say that pitching the same yeast in the same wort won't always have the same fermentation .

[@paulsapper]

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a Kale wash, I currently have one running now and its slowed down a lot and basically done the same as Jesse’s wash. I’ve found that the PH has dropped to 3 which is too low, going back through my notes I realised that ‘I forgot to add shell grit like I had done in the past

[@highly-spirited]

From my limited experience I think that the Kale doesn’t quite have a high enough quantity of the correct nutrients. So in order for the wash to ferment happily you need to over pitch the yeast. That’s why when people come out with ‘I use 90g bakers yeast and it works fine’. Then that’s the reason….over pitching, but it works. And when it does, it really does work and it’s really worth it! Thanks yet again for the shout out Jesse 😎😎 Although I wish I could make great vids like you do. And, as usual, I really enjoyed this one.

[@TodmordenFred]

Haha and in your words, it’s exceptional.. But yeah at least 50g yeast I use for 25ltr and 100g 🥬

[@vrtsgme]

Mate your Vids are on their own for both content and style. Jessies got a few years on you, but yours are all class mate, I love the humour!

[@annakingsley6773]

I use those 5kg bags of Pam's sugar as well. The bag has a strip of white paper tape running along under the stitching on one side. Pull that tape from one side and the whole top and stitching comes off cleanly. Great video as always - so reassuring to see other people have issues with things not quite going according to plan. AND then you sorted it anyway! Brilliant! 🥰

[@DavidKeasey]

The Kale wash is pretty simple and (for me) reliable. My "recipe" is a little different, but it has worked every time. 90g kale, pureed, 4.5 kilo sugar, two SuperB complex vitamins, and water to make 23 liters. Then, 50g bakers yeast, pitched into about a pint of wash, dispersed with a stick blender, and then added to the wash. I aerate for about three hours, and by the end of that time you can see the ferment taking off. Although the initial ferment is vigerous, I've never had it ferment out dry in less than 10 days (in a room that holds an ambient temperature of about 30C). The product is amazingly clean, enough so that it is a decent sipping vodka on the rocks, and it does make great gin.

[@AntoniNorman]

Mine is very simple and cheap and works every time. For 25L: 4KG of sugar inverted with 30g of bread yeast to kill them. 250ml of lemon juice. Over kill but never had an issue and the juice is sold as that size. 500g of Passata. 70g of bread yeast to pitch.

[@marvinharms1891]

They are the same on bags of charcoal... ask me how I know... Nope the channel name is not a hint.*

[@UgTheViking1]

New subscriber here, just bought my first still and now binge watching all your vids as required study before I start my first spirit run. I don't think I will start with the kale vodka, but as an added thought ... the final sugar content of kale develops when the kale is exposed to a couple of night frosts. A little freeze over guarantees the best tasting kale (highest sugar content). I'm not sure if that was a factor in this particular run. I intent, after doing a couple of idiot proof beginner runs, trying this recipe with kale grown from my own garden that has been exposed to night frost. Thank you for your well researched and entertaining video's. Sharing your knowledge from experience is priceless.

[@andrewmonfort4881]

If that yeast is anything like Kveik yeast, used by brewers, you should really use about double the nutrients you normally would. Whether that is kale or fermaid, the fast growth and fermentation tends to require more nutrients than a typical fermentation to keep the yeast happy.

[@donkeybrains756]

I moved to kale washes about a year ago and I have never been disappointed with the taste. I did have issues with the pulp though and I strain it and it made a difference for me. Usually takes me around 12 days to ferment but is worth it. I also add spinach just because and I am always happy with result. I prefer it to TP wash any day.

[@SpiritOfTheHeretic]

I think the kale would need to be broken down finer than it was. Also there could have been herbicide/pesticide/fertilizer/preservative on the kale leaves that affected the initial fermentation. Also possible that it needed some time in the mash to break down.

[@Vykk_Draygo]

If it were something on the kale, like a preservative, then Fermaid K wouldn't fix it.

[@LouiseLong-t4b]

Tried this and LOVE it! I'm new to distilling, so have multiple demijohns going on with all kinds of experiments. My kale experiment was vodka yeast vs. bread yeast. The vodka yeast fermented to 998 4 days before the brewer's yeast. To start the bread yeast was much more aggressive, and puked into the airlock. I didn't have any problem with stalling (not true for other washes). I really like the "clean" taste of the distillate. My favourite thus far.

[@customcuisine]

Thanks for the upload. I thought this was another meme spirit video... I love content like this and even better for having fermentation issues along the way. Much appreciated! PS I like your meme spirit content too

[@christurner1791]

Also, freeze, defrost, blend & boil the kale - much more efficient.

[@digitalwojtya3669]

Im not a destiller but I grow plants If you want to add the most nutrient dence stuff for the yeast that is organic and natural you could maybe also use *stinging nettles* (the plant is an "accumulator" of nutrients or so Ive heard, and it checks out, if you put a bagfull of shreded nettles together if will imediatly start heating up due to composting process) *rhubarb* (same as nettles but perhaps better tasting, idk tho bc leaves are toxic, only the stalks are eddible) *seaweed* (idk about the specific species but food safe algae def could be an option, the taste well speaks for itself but anything growing in the ocean will have high amount of micronutrients) well also any classic stuff like grains etc are seeds so they have pretty much all the nutrients lol

[@tommihommi1]

the nettles are a great idea!

[@digitalwojtya3669]

also perhaps you could use beans, sounds a bit cursed but beans have very high nitrogen and protein amount as the plant is a legume (it has bacteria in the roots that fix atmospheric nitrogen) honestly, Ive never seen alcohol from fermented beans but it sounds like a cool idea, perhaps some asian cultures have done that, I dont know tho

[@leesmith6107]

Im in NZ and ive done a few kale washes and they have worked out fine, ive never boiled the kale though, just blended it up and ive only used bread yeast. Very clean spirit i thought.

[@davidamackay]

I boil it, sieve it and then sieve it. Rehydrate 1/2 cup Bakels bread yeast for an 18l wash. Couple of oyster shells. Ferment at 35c and it finishes at .990 within a week, more like 3/4 days but I leave it to drop clear

[@ledzep331]

These days I don't mess around. For a 25l 14% sugar wash if you just use half a pack of turbo yeast, as it slows the initial ferment reducing the exothermic effect as apposed to a full pack (and halves the price). Just manage the temp and keep it below 27c, the result is so clean there's no reason to do it another way.

[@tonysmith5192]

Kale washes are usually done in conjuction with bread yeast to make a cheap neutral. Your stalled wash most likely from a Ph crash which is common in sugar washes. Bump up the Ph when it stalls or buffer your wash with seashells from the start.

[@TimFoord]

I keep reading "add Oyster shells" I live about 200 metres from the beach do you think I could just use and sea shells?

[@tonysmith5192]

@@TimFoord Yes. Seashells will do or even eggshells. Any form of Calcium Carbonate will do. If using sea or eggshells, just ensure they are clean and sterile. Some boil in water for a while. Personally I put them in a hot oven (180c) for 15-20mins.

I have made this exact wash twice with same type of kale but at 25l and had good fermentation. Took off quickly and didn't require additional nutrients. Just as clean as you eventually got. Thanks for giving it a go. I suppose some variation in kale quality is to be expected.

[@MajorHavoc214]

I would rather do blueberries than a kale wash. In kale you might have a lot of enzymes you are not aware of that you are going to have to deal with.

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

Nah, he's just clickbaiting us with stupid crap for a long time now. Most of his drinks would be much better by simply adding the raw item into a cocktail recipe. And far less effort. For example, add breakfast cereal into a cocktail with creme and booze, instead of pretending that you're distilling cereal into booze.

[@DavidKeasey]

Don't knock it 'til you've tried it. As long as you use the hearts with just the tiniest portions of heads and tails, you end up with a very, very neutral spirit (especially if you use a reflux still). It is a very easy way to make a decent vodka, and is an excellent base for making gin.

I only do Kale Washes these days. The stall on Day 2 or 3 (for me) is always PH driven, it normally crashes to 2.9/3.1 PH, bring back up to 5.2PH and boom no issues from then on. Have been to the beach to collect a load of clean sea shells to place in a sock for my next kale wash (will buffer the PH crash and only dissolve if the acidity drives it). I find a kale wash takes longer to ferment out and I do leave it for a long while before running and it's 100% clear (like water) when I run it (8 weeks+ normally). Best wash there is. I have a 18% abv 200l wash sitting there for when I am ready to run it currently, been there for 9 weeks so far. I strip then spirit run with 6 plates and packed column. Cleanest spirit you'll get and then I make Georges Gin (I miss George)!

As said, use organic or home-grown kale. Intensively farmed or hydroponically grown kale often had little nutrients in it..

[@paulbecker7266]

I did it with kale out of my garden and it worked fine, Using t500 it took me 3 times through for total neutral, was inedible after 2 times through.

[@DavidKeasey]

When you do the spirit run with this wash, you need to be careful about where you make your cuts. The heads are a little harsh, but the tails... they get really wonky, very quickly, and if you make the tails cut wrong, you may need to re-run that product.

[@heretocheckoutstuff]

I have been doing kale washes only the last few years. I’m no expert by all means but something I do is not put the pulp in I just use the boiled green water. I only had one stop after a couple of days and it was suggested that my barrel was not cleaned properly. I tipped it out cleaned everything properly and away it went

[@dadteaches]

was there possibly pesticides on the kale? enough to kill the yeast?

[@TodmordenFred]

In all the time I’ve been watching you. How have I missed you’d not done kale???? I know you’ve done the TPW and FFV and had just assumed you’d done kale and I’d missed it. Kale works for me, and is best neutral. But I don’t blitz it or anything. Simmer, then wring out the leaves, and put the juice only in wash, along with bakers yeast. Not a fast ferment. But does go dry snot 10 days ensuring constant temp. 25 L wash 100 g kale 4 kg white sugar 50 g bakers yeast 26c temp around 10 - 12 days

Kale, when grown in warm climate, has a tendency to get mildew infection. I think your kale has been sprayed with a fungicide that just happened to be particularly temperature resistent.

Great video mate. Kale is in the brassica family, like collards, so it's related to cabbage, broccoli, and brussels sprouts. It's not related to spinach, which is in the beet family.

As a Portuguese man I have eaten quite a lot of kale in my lifetime (mostly broad leaf, not the curly stuff), and I can tell you that most of the sugars of the kale are in the stalks and not in the leafs. As a child, I used to strip the skin off the stalks and just eat them. Filled with natural sugars, fiber and water, they were, and still are delicious. Maybe something to take into consideration next time

[@jeremycostin6352]

You may find that the kale naturally produces a fungicide for self defence, from memory kale does have a slight astringency to it which suggests something like that is present. Essentially as the yeast does its thing and breaks down the cell innards of the kale it releases more and more of the fungicide into the wash, hence the stalled wash. Perhaps next time try organic kale (no added fungicides) or a different leafy vegetable (no natural fungicides) that could give you the same result with less pain.

Kale is a durable plant. It does not breakdown as easily as other plants. You will need to treat the Kale before mashing.

[@LeutnantJoker]

A lot of people get nutrients and pure calories confused. A lot of survival channels constantly talk about how you can eat this mushroom or that berry in the wild... which is true.. but even though they might be nutritious, you can't survive on them alone. We need roughly 2000 kcal per day and berries don't do that, nor do mushrooms. And on the other hand you can't survive on pure rice and noodles either. One provides the energy, the other provides the chemical building blocks for every bit of body chemistry going on. And of course we need water since all that chemistry is going on inside of it. No water, no solution = just a bunch of rock hard chemicals getting stuck everywhere. I'm not surprised an organism like yeast works the same. Probably all life does. Energy alone isn't enough if you don't have the molecules needed to keep your system running.

[@Joshua-hk6bu]

Perhaps the yeasts recommended in the kale wash recipe would have been better suited for the recipe? I'm sure ec1118 or even the larger amount of baker's yeast would have less demand for nutrients than the sponsor of the video red label angel yeast

[@nolansykinsley3734]

I think it was your blending method. There were lots of chunks leftover and the yeast cannot get to the nutrients held in cells because they cannot break the cell wall.Blending the kale in a blender with a smaller amount of water for a few minutes would release the nutrients better. I don't know if 5 minutes simmering is really enough to burst open all of the cell walls enough for yeast to access the nutrients.
