For sure practicing distilling this way is very important to preserve the history of distilling I love it.

Watching Moonshiners Season 14 Episode 2 Right Now Amanda You are on it lol

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

Nice! Thanks for watching! That's the cinnamon Buns episode!

[@rlwoods61]

I don't know if it is ironic or not, but Washington had the largest distillery in the country at the time yet one of his first major issues as president was the "Whiskey Rebellion" in Pennsylvania.

[@oldschoolprepper2273]

I feel the need to pull down a rye whiskey 😊

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

Yes🫡🫙❤️

[@ciaracullen6813]

Hey, whats Paul doing there? I see him on StaleKrackers channel. I think he makes Rum in key west with his wife. Edit: I just learned Paul Menta has his own channel. Hes a chef that distills.

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

Yes Paul is fantastic! He was also invited there like I was as a guest distiller to work the stills. It a very unique group of people that get to come and learn and share information. Paul is an awesome rum distiller and a chef

[@patmancrowley8509]

I'd love to visit this site also. Maybe someday. Being retired with SSI income it may not be possible.

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

It's open to the public to visit most of the year. If you can get to the area it's very worth it.

[@natewar222]

Amanda invest in a cheap gambrel for your phone to make the video quality better. Love the content and want to see you put out more content. Keep doing it

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

@natewar222 thank you I need s better phone first! This is all done with a dollar general prepaid phone😅 I appreciate your advice I will look at those

[@natewar222]

@ all good. Most of the phone out will make good pictures and videos. As long as it’s not the Nokia brick lol.

[@josephmaschari1073]

You need to come to Bucyrus Ohio where their make copper still and a lot moer

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

@josephmaschari1073 where do you recommend I go in Bucyrus Ohio? They build copper stills?

[@bosherba]

HI Amanda, so, 60% rye, 35% corn and 5% barley...if only barley was malted is there enough power to convert rye and corn? Can you share what grains was used as a malt in this recipe? tnx, cheers.

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

It was 6 row barely malt.

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

The correct ratio of malted barley 6 row can convert all of the starches of the corn and rye. 10-20 percent is more of a certain way to assure proper conversion.

[@bosherba]

@@AmandaBryantDistilling ok, tnx. so, 5% most likely at that time wasn't converting all of it, but it was "good enough" I assume...I understand that much but real math, even I was watching how to make a mash bill, never use it, I am in fruits, my part of the world 99% works fruits. tnx again.

[@dennis9358]

did y'all make real whiskey and if so what they do with it?

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

Yes it's all real whiskey 12-14 hour days they barrel it and sell bottle releases at Mount Vernon In the Mansions Gift Shop

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

They sell rye whiskey brandy cherry bounce clear whiskey a number of spirits made here

[@michael2244]

Are you going to continue the ugly apple brandy you started like two months ago?

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

I had some issues with my computer breaking. Got a new one and I am trying to recover the footage I was editing. I may have to start over when I am not traveling. But I would like to finish that yes

[@JamesWoodring-mu2iz]

lol always a whimp complaning!!!

[@tucksmith8300]

I bet you didn’t know that George Washington was a Moonshiner

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

@tucksmith8300 actually George Washington imposed the first whiskey Tax on America, creating legal taxed alcohol and illegal untaxed alcohol.. or moonshine, at which point he shortly after built this legal distillery. So he did distill coloianially before liquor was taxed and also distilled legally paying taxes after he create the liquor tax.. he created moonshine actually in a way.

[@tucksmith8300]

@ He grew the corn, barley, wheat right there on his plantation and he did it all during the whisky rebellion and he also paid the taxes on it

[@RoyceAubuchon]

Weren't you on moonshiners?

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

@RoyceAubuchon Yep am on the Moonshiners still.

[@RoyceAubuchon]

@@AmandaBryantDistilling I thought so. I got a huge crush on you!!! Lol. I gave up on drinking and shinning several years ago.

[@danielfrancisco8678]

It's sad that it's illegal for most Americans to be able to do this. I bet ol gorge shake his head at all the dam taxes of today

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

@danielfrancisco8678 George imposed the first Tax on Whiskey, and actually created regulated tax distillation and there fore he in a way created moonshine
