DIY Making RUM (Distilling) Part 2

[@enedinalicea4100]

It went from diy easy home stuff to use to using a look a like moonshine kit

[@PC-ie5yt]

Not so easy but amazing

[@grandprairiewelding6835]

I was thinking the same thing. It was DIY, with a very expensive, complicated set up

[@SamoesADIY]

Not so expensive and complicated. I built my own still from plumbing pipes and fittings.

[@drfye]

You could probably also use an air still.

[@tkp420tkp]

For real I was thinking I can do this at home to fuck that just buy a bottle 😂

[@jamesmiles3404]

BRILLIANT!!!! Concise and to the point. Exactly what you need and how to do it. Your brandy video is also fantastic. Many thanks.

[@mindjab]

Everybody gangsta until they realise distilling is science & also a make shift engineering project

[@pgprentice]

BANG! Your very own "Red Heart", cheers, thanks for the vids. Evryone to their own taste. Always good as long as you enjoy it!

[@vigneshvickey4146]

Hi sir how many days to furmantate and what is the tube in the center of the bucket

[@VentureWelding]

You've got to upgrade to electric my friend. So much cheaper, and efficient. I started on propane too, but kick myself everytime I start my keg up and think back on how much heat loss there was with propane.

[@SamoesADIY]

I would like to but here in South Africa we have alot of loadshedding so power can be cut off anytime. And LP gas is much cheaper here.

[@thianhlun]

This is beyond diy

[@punishedgloyperstormtroope8098]

What should yield be per litre of wash? If I have 20 litres of 15% alcohol rum wash shouldn’t I yield 5 litres of 60% alcohol rum? How much alcohol is lost?

[@renackocaddle9038]

Do u have a diagram I would love to see the setup on how it works what the pump those

[@mrcarlopiazza1]

thank you for the video. very interesting,i wonder if its possible to do rum the french way,straight from cane juice.

[@SamoesADIY]

Thanks for the Idea.

[@billangle8973]

Awesome video. Congratulations

[@damienfynn1522]

Yurre Boet you made that look easy,bet it tasted lekker.

[@SamoesADIY]

Yep

[@somethingdiy588]

Man that still looks amazing.

[@robertgrey6101]

How do you make caramelized sugar ?? Also, how do you CONTROLL the temperature of gas flame to get good vapour ??

[@SamoesADIY]

Here I made the caramelized sugar kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGWYhniuoqenhcU&t I only distill indoors and the gas is on one setting, I regulate the temp with the reflux valves

[@robertgrey6101]

@@SamoesADIY Thanks for your reply.

[@mdafridi1272]

Bro if we distilled 20 litre sugar wash then how many litre vodka or rum we can find after distillation ❤

[@SamoesADIY]

about 2 to 4 bottles of 750ml, all depends on the amount of ABV after fermentation

[@alejandrocalles2856]

Why do You put three marbles inside the still? Thanks.. excelent vídeo

[@SamoesADIY]

The marbles helps to prevent scorching on the bottom of your boiler.

[@John-lc2lz]

He doesn't know how to use the 3 sea shells 🤭

[@carelbezuidenhoud3642]

Thank you - 7 days on 25 degrees Celsius?

[@SamoesADIY]

best is to test the starting gravity and then ferment until the gravity is on 1 or below, and yes 25 C should be fine

[@woestyn4263]

Looks amazing....cannot wait to try it

[@hayeshillier3343]

Do you have to destill the rum and if needed where can I find the proper equipment to do so

[@hayeshillier3343]

Distill

[@sivaramansunilkumar6047]

Excellent work.. but what is the back color in the filter

[@SamoesADIY]

Activated carbon

[@babino65]

How much glycerine do you add per liter?

[@vivekkatariya5018]

If water is added to reduce the percentage of alcohol, its percentage does not decrease after a long time

[@SamoesADIY]

If the container is kept open maybe but not so that it would affect the taste. If the container is kept closed. It won't drop at all

[@vivekkatariya5018]

@@SamoesADIY sir tnks 🙏🙏🙏

[@boryblue]

What is the final alcohol percentage?

[@Francois_Dupont]

its the wood that make the brown color?

[@myintnaiag2548]

Great video

[@BritishBeeMan]

As its distilled... what is the point in adding the spices etc early on? (Video 1) as surely any flavour imparted there is removed when evaporating the alcohol off? Wouldnt you be better steeping the distilled alcohol with chosen spices?

[@SamoesADIY]

While not traditional, adding spices during distillation can add a unique twist to your rum. The flavor infusion can vary depending on several factors, but it's definitely worth trying.

[@agungwayne3090]

Beautiful..

[@AW-gj4ji]

Were you only able to get 1 bottle out of everyting?

[@SamoesADIY]

It was about 3 x 750ml

[@hilmiakbas8999]

Bravoooo

[@naturel7514]

I didn't know it took that much ingredients for that little quantity

[@l3v3l5gotthatfire2]

Thanks for showing us bro butni think I'll just buy a bottle from the shop

[@SamoesADIY]

Easy to buy. This just is a hobby.

[@thejollyfrog640]

Carbon filtering after oak ageing will remove a lot, if not all, the flavour. Why did you filter?

[@SamoesADIY]

I have done some testing of my own, and I prefer the taste of the filtered product. you don't have to filter if you don't want to.

[@thejollyfrog640]

@@SamoesADIY Fair enough. Cheers,

[@slavzurawski6123]

What are the marbles for???

[@SamoesADIY]

They bounce when the boil starts and prevent scorching on the bottom of the keg

[@billby2089]

Think I'll just keep buying it

[@randomPerson-hi8xd]

Sore the “toasted wood chips” would giving them a char with a blowtorch work or would you seggest something else

[@SamoesADIY]

Think it would work but I think it would be better to get bigger chunks of oak rather than small chips.

[@rootskullcrewsquad4658]

excellent video , thanks

[@shawnoster9120]

What are the sticks you put in the rum to change color?

[@SamoesADIY]

Cinnamon sticks, just to add some flavor.

[@toxichammertoe8696]

What's the purpose of the marbles?

[@SamoesADIY]

it bonces on the bottom to help prevent scorching

[@bfoxsakhumzi8737]

What kit do use make it

[@SamoesADIY]

My own, check out how I build it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKKcqIybqdeNm68

[@TheJeremyevans]

wow

[@gassonteddy8157]

Did you boil it again brother?

[@SamoesADIY]

No. I ran it once. I did not do a stripping run.

[@gassonteddy8157]

@@SamoesADIY I've never seen Rum brewed before. So whats the stripping process? U should do a video explaining it step by step mate.

[@landahoy8707]

ooooo arrrrrhhh that be the way.

[@featherspreaderinc3146]

send some my way

[@bastochestrongman889]

You distill your mash only once?

[@SamoesADIY]

Yes

[@snickerbars4129]

That's some engineering done with the equiPments ...

[@SamoesADIY]

Thanks

[@graypistachio4141]

What are the total costs per liter in dollars or euro's for the ingredients? It looks rather expensive

[@SamoesADIY]

1.5 liter molasses = $10 Mix spice (whole bottle 80g)= $2 (only use 2 tsp) Epsom salt (whole bag 150g)= $1 (only use 1 tsp) Yeast (bag of 500g) = $8 (only use around 20g) Sugar 3kg = $2.50 so per liter not sure,

[@varisasupsook1971]

nice

[@joeblack6663]

Anyone know the name of the music playing?

[@homestead627]

Did you manufacture the column and condenser yourself or is it off the shelf?

[@SamoesADIY]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKKcqIybqdeNm68 Check out this video

[@DJxClockwork]

Why did you put the marbles in there?

[@SamoesADIY]

it helps to minimize scorching on the bottom of the keg, when its boiling the marbles bounce

[@peter1886]

What temperature did u ferment at? Is it temperature fussy like beers etc?

[@SamoesADIY]

I tried to keep it at 24 degrees Celsius with a fishtank heater. No its not as fussy as beer. The colder the fermentation the longer it will take to ferment out.

[@bigtxhitta4461]

Man, I thought I was about to get ready to make this but ummmm….. don’t have any of the equipment

[@DigitalVovoghure]

Nice video

[@carelbezuidenhoud3642]

How long did you ferment it?

[@SamoesADIY]

about a week

[@georgephilips3528]

What was total time to product?

[@SamoesADIY]

Fermentation about a week, distillation took almost 6 hours

[@squiddiddy]

are you using a keg to do this with? im thinking of getting a keg if thats what i think it is :)

[@SamoesADIY]

Yes its a 30 liter keg

[@ritar923]

Why discard the first 200ml?

[@domsathanas1321]

you dont want to get blind

[@boku5192]

It's poison

[@soundslikeaplan841]

Nooo, adds ice and coke! What a shame

[@reidwallace4258]

Hey, might be a dumb question... but whats with the marbles? Never heard of anybody putting marbles into a still. I mean, their glass, so no harm no foul, just wondering what the goal with them is?

[@SamoesADIY]

To minimize scorching on the bottom.

[@reidwallace4258]

@@SamoesADIY Ah! Makes total sense, thankya.

[@markwybierala4936]

Very well produced video with a clear recipe and process. Why the epsom salt? I would think that it might retard fermentation ?maybe? I noticed that you didn’t use any yeast nutrient which a lot of recipes call for. You’ve got a beautiful still.

[@SamoesADIY]

Thank you, yes the Epsom salt acts like nutrient and condition the liquids

[@จิ้กโฉ่ว]

1:38 why do you have to discard the foreshots ?

[@SamoesADIY]

It doesn't taste good and its mostly methanol.

[@NOSHIDAN]

Hi.if we mixed that 80 percent rum with water it have very badly taste.only demonize water can mixed with rum or vodka ....

[@SamoesADIY]

will look into it thanks

[@Wilderness_Tv]

Why did you add marbles?

[@SamoesADIY]

[@luisanderson6707]

How long was the distilling process ?

[@SamoesADIY]

Around 5 hours

[@stevebranham2599]

That was interesting but far from quick and easy, thanks

[@MW3aRULEs]

How much did the distillers license cost as I would like to start doing it myself

[@hotcoffee1068]

Free if you dont tell anyone.

[@MrChickster12]

That doesn’t look straight forward but thanks for sharing

[@scottydu81]

It’s as straight forward as a home distillation as you can get 🤷‍♂️

[@longshank]

Sooooo theres no easy way then ??

[@notbadsteve]

How much finished rum do you get from that? That bottle at the end wouldn't last me the afternoon 🤣🤣🤣

[@SamoesADIY]

Was about 2.5 liters and it didn't last long🍻

[@greatbigworld9683]

Was it 2.5 litres before it was diluted or after? Great video.

[@maidenlord6663]

No thank you if I buy a homemade rum I want the rough part of it too I don't want to go blind or nothing like that but I want to know that it's strong not 43%, that's weak

[@monayimrahman]

Man it looks more complicated than building a nuclear reactor.

[@SamoesADIY]

Haha 😂 no its easy

[@Akram_El-Masry]

u don't make a glass of rum coke on rocks you spill it on the table and slurp it with your nose like a real pirate

[@SamoesADIY]

LOL

[@antoinesanders5973]

I was with you till you ruined it with soda pop instead of drinking it straight 😂😂

[@SamoesADIY]

🤪🍻

[@seven5oul]

dammn thats alot of sugar

[@sonnyjim7579]

Wouldnt the carbon strip flavour

[@SamoesADIY]

Yes, it does, but it also strips the bad flavors.

[@oneup1098]

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT PIRATES WOULDN'T WASTE THERE TIME

[@flightboy]

yeh think ill just buy it then...haha

[@undyingrage2396]

Why the balls

[@SamoesADIY]

just to minimize scorching on the bottom of the boiler.

[@elnilio1]

Lol and than he ads cola and ice cubes.......

[@Soldier957]

Why carbon filter? You'll lose flavor!

[@SamoesADIY]

Not that much but loose more of that harshness. I have done tests and for me is it better with the carbon.

[@instert94]

What the fucking fuck. You are making your own rum, just to dilute the flavour with cola?! Why would you do that!

[@SamoesADIY]

Not everything I do is on the video, in South Africa it is normal to drink it with coke, but this one is too sweet with coke so we drink it as a a liqueur (neat).

[@UTarcher72]

Or, buy a bottle for $10 and you're good to go. :)

[@mdg2576]

Terrible video!!!

[@SamoesADIY]

Why?

[@John-lc2lz]

Bahahahaha 🤣... ahhh what an ash hole

[@grantbidwell2847]

You went to all that trouble and then put coke in it? Are you fucking kidding me? Just buy bottom shelf rum and save yourself the time and money

[@SamoesADIY]

you do you.

[@John-lc2lz]

I mix mine with kool-aid... is this also bad 🤭

[@yomuno2511]

When I first drunk rum (actually the first time I ever drunk alcohol) I mixed it with Sprite. Clear rum with clear soda. Now I prefer anejo straight.
