Tickled with glee that OG George is back to giving us the wisdom of home distillation. Thanks so much for your lessons! This craft is a labour of love ❤

Has anyone ever called you the Mr Rodgers of distilling?? Lol You have a way of making everyone feel comfortable and accepted. Thanks George for all you do and have done.

No! He's the Bob Ross of distilling! Instead of a happy little cloud it's a happy little still! 😂

SOOOOOOO glad to see you again George. I've been looking at the Clawhammer home brewing system. wow what a set up

[@donniepowell7146]

I like these back to basics videos.

[@BarleyandHopsBrewing]

Thanks. It ia always a good time to revisit the basics George

[@spikekelly1035]

Thank you for coming back to us George. Let’s have some good times ahead. I have some ideas. Ideas for episodes. Unfortunately in your absence many extremely cheap under educated hoping for better results then possible have a 2 legged stool and purchased the in expensive counter top plug in stills. Not to call them out or make fun of them by name “Me”. But I think it would be fun if we can learn together what we can and can not do with them, what some of us are missing, recipes that work best, the internal gin basket test, do your magic with a George made carbon filter, etc. me and others like me tried the entry point to the craft to the maximum wife approval in her kitchen angle. We could use a little rub our nose in it and a little maybe it’s not so so bad- only George can do. We won’t listen to our results we listen to yours. Anyway. Thanks for everything. I think we all needed this.

[@wtanner123]

So glad you are back. I watched a ton of your videos last year before starting my first batch this year. It was absolute trash, but a good cleaning run…🤣 They get a little better each time, and i keep watching you, Jessie, and Bearded&Bored.

[@mindaugasvaskevicius1818]

I know that if I open your videos I'll find everything and everything about mash, fermentation, distilling and making distiller.... but I still love to watch your videos. So simply explained, tells all you need to know, says: this is how I do it, but, do how you want do it. No hidden agendas, just sharing the knowledge and experience. Glad you're back.

[@raymondroot7457]

As a person who enjoys so many different hobbies I definitely understand the burnout When you feel like you've already said it all and it feels like every new day is just a repeat of the day before However I am so glad you enjoyed a break away from things for a while but I am even happier that you re kindled that flame You have a new clarity that I haven't seen in you before and it is soooo exciting Knowing that you have decided that you stil... have so much more knowledge to share with us Sir I am so glad th have you back with us You have been missed more than you know Love you brother And God bless

[@jimlippi4001]

My first-ever batch went real good until I got impatient with the draining through the bags. I ripped two bags. I managed to save everything using strainers. And in the end it turned out ok . I don't use the bags anymore. You Jesse and bearded are a wealth of knowledge. Thank you again.

[@BarleyandHopsBrewing]

Sometimes it is simple but the experience is worth it. Happy distilling

[@seymourpro6097]

I've seen mash bags used in a fruit press.

[@jimlippi4001]

@@seymourpro6097 after cooking I spun the top until it tightened up like ringing out a wet rag and the side split. Was using two pots it happened both times. The next day I bought a 10 gallon pot with a strainer.

I followed your basic instructions from my beginning and I hav3 always been successful. So glad you are back.

[@fredflintstone358]

I can second your statement about hand grinders being a workout. I've got a Country Living hand mill. It is a solid, sturdy, top of the line piece of equipment. But it is a handspun grinding wheel. I grind all of my thirty pounds of grain through that machine, and, boy, am I ever beat at the end of the process. I spread it out over two days, and still I am beat. It does save me the cost of gym membership which is a good thing.

[@HodgyE5]

Thank you for the great video. Very glad to see you again George.

[@highergroundfarm7527]

Happy Distilling Again!! Great to have you back! You are the reason I was able to do this and get it right several years ago. Thank you.

Absolutely brilliant George, i have played once recently with oates and used Amalaize, one of my best ferments yet, the timing of this video is wild, have been considering a Corn, Barley and Oat mash, now i'm getting excited. Thankyou

[@travist8150]

Another great video! I'm sure you've heard this a thousand times but you are an excellent teacher George, you make it almost impossible to not learn or understand this hobby. Great job!

Yep we’ve all seen that corn again. Lol so glad you’re back my friend. 🤙🏻

Great job glad to see you again. Best presenter around.

[@levifunk2141]

Thank you George! Glad to be hearing more golden information from you.

[@Christian-ve1wi]

Thank you George theres 4 thing's that are essential to distilling. Starch, Water, Yeast and Enthusiasm and you sir you have that in spades. Folks that have these hobbies and are willing to share their knowledge are wonderful people. There's no need to gate keep the secrets because if someone makes something better than you then you yourself can learn from them and maybe make something even better next time. Still no still and will I buy a still well I'm still not sure but I am enjoying learning the process and what I learn here can be applied elsewhere like beer and wine making..

[@340wbymag]

It is wonderful to see you back! I have learned a lot from you and hope to learn much more.

[@kevinhoban4416]

Welcome back George sure is good to see you I missed your videos you do amazing job on giving directions I'm recipes I hope you keep it up for a long time happy distilling

Hey George, I'm loving the joy and enthusiasm you have for this process. Your manner is both instructive and welcoming, especially for those of us watching at home. I'm a long way from actually trying any distilling myself but watching you is always a treat. Excellent work as always bud. Please keep up the great work and I'll be here to absorb what I can.

Hi George, really good to see you back! Malkuta UK

[@geoffreyjustgeoff]

So happy you are back and very grateful George! Because of you, I'm not just sitting in the easy chair since my retirement ;-) I'm very interested in Distilling, and finally getting set up on my first run. Something I'm considering because of a unique situation I'm in is to try to do some distance fermentation, meaning, I'll start the fermentation, and leave the shop for the winter. My plan is to monitor the activity, and temperature via wifi camera, and once it stops bubbling, go ahead and kill the heat via wifi thermostat and plug. Then let is settle through the winter, as it would still be in a cool, closed container, and when I return in the early spring, I should be able to run it right away. I can see the possibility of hiccups, such as stalling, but in theory, do you see any other issues? Maybe this could be some content for your future? LOL

[@ryefry]

5:34 reminds me from the movie Lawless they describe using stump wood, basically breaking down wood cellulose into something fermentable...

[@user-lu8ns9st4c]

George you have a great teaching gift.

[@D4no00]

Thank you very much for the video! You mentioned about amylase before and showed the option of purchasing it separately, however it is great that you showed us now an alternative for the newbies in this video. It would be great if you could make a video about different types of barley, because it escapes my understanding what those types you mentioned mean.

Thanks George for this and all your content. It was very helpful and instrumental to me when I got started in this hobby. It’s always so informative and entertaining to watch. Looking forward to new content!!

[@chasetherocknroll5144]

Thank you George. You explain this extremely well

[@rjfussell]

As I said before the stool is a guideline,first is be ready to process what you make,create a mash or wash,using the process,have a goal for starting gravity,then finish with the equipment,I know it works when the stool is complete,that part is like shaving one whisker on your face,it's still worth it.

[@knightmare1015]

Excellent video George. I never did like corn whiskey mainly because it's a pain in the ass to break down into a fermentable sugar. Getting your grain crushed makes things a lot easier and most of your homebrew shops will do that for you. Oh before I forget, Mile High Distilling has a brand new reflux version of the Mr. Distiller air still. You should check that out. It also comes with a gin basket and foreshots glass too.

[@jeremylastname873]

“..half a pea sized” Is that a green pea, or a Crowder pea? 😂
