Georgian Village Life - how to make chacha

I live in a village in the country of Georgia and this is my host family making chacha. Chacha is similar to vodka except chacha is made from grapes, not potatoes.

Ватка, тряпочки и грязька на стыках особенно трогательно выглядят....❤

[@jake-ip9vg]

you would think it would go bad from not bring sanitized, but the chacha itself is the sanitizer

One of the best spirit in the world, I love chacha so much :D

[@georgecapra]

A recipe straight from HELL.

Vodka starting material is starch...the source is commnly wheat, potatoes are used in housemade samagon.

[@TheAndyseitz]

Word "samogOn" means "homemade distillate". The source for it can be any sugar-containing substancies. Most often this simply sugar. I heard about potato samogon, but never tried it. It probably produced in Byelorussia. So, georgian chacha named "vinogradny samogon" in Russia. Starch before fermentation needs saccharification with malt, so it concerns, rather, malt liquors such as whiskey and bourbon. Vodka is 2 part of ethanol and 3 part of water and origin of ethanol does not matter. Most popular way to produce ethanol is ethylene hydration. It's cheapest variant.

Thank you for sharing, fascinating. Not something I would want to drink, but still a fascinating look at traditional cultures.

very cool set up though

[@pullbothbarrels]

i can't believe they are condencing with 1 straight pipe , but i guess it works. also they should add a slobber box to catch undwanted chemicals . they don't know the temperature without a thermometer and if it gets to hot you will push through water

Great

[@smirtsmertiankoleiv7371]

Very nice

[@EnricoRossignoli89]

so, the chacha comes from crushing of grapes from wood and not just after fermentation Right?

[@pksheikh148]

Right

[@user-sn4dr4hy4d]

How much time to store grape parts?

Ужас.. Как у пленных немцев...

[@georgecapra]

This is a terrible drink, I know for fact, " The Devil Made Them Do That Poison " , just look at their faces, OLD before their Time.

[@Lonix4]

YO FUCK YOURSELF THEY ARE TRYING HARD TO MAKE THE BEST DRINK AND YOU SAY "POISON" YOU CANT EVEN MAKE A DRINK BY YOUR SELF. SO SHUT UP

[@Reggienothers]

you son of a bitch georgian drinks is better than american but your drinks is pee and poop დედამოტყნულოო idiot

[@sabasiwach680]

Old before there time??? Those guys are easily 40 and 70. And poison? Yes I agree that the traditional manner of alcohol production is a little dangerous because unwanted chemicals can be produced but i can tell you for a fact the fatality rate of Georgians dying from alcohol poisoning is almost 0.

[@kupatrap2374]

We Have Better, Stronger And Sweatier Alcohols Especially Wine And Chacha!! What Are You Drinking There? Bears Or Vodkas They Are Up to 25-40% And Chacha Is From 50-95% alcohol by volume!! You Would Die Drinking It!!

[@lekosbelas9355]

Everybody understood wrong. I think he didnt like the drink when he tried(i love chacha) and he is trying to be sarcastic
