I Distilled Nasty Wine

This is a video about making bad wine into good cherry brandy. I distil the bad wine with some cherries in the gin basket of my little alembic.
This is cheap wine bought by a friend who didn't like it, so gave it to me to have fun with. We get about 400ml of finished product from about 1.5L of nasty wine.

HELL YEAH,,I WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME,,YOU STILL HAVE THE WINE, OLD BUDDY GAVE

Just an idea, here in Australia it's been flooding all over, so no fruit, So I've started distilling with dried fruit for flavor. I soak abit in normal water, then put it in my still basket . Works a treat. I've always been able to get dried or frozen fruit for distilling and wine making .

Nice Tutorial, It provides a lot of knowledge. We are starting to distill Tempranillo, wich we grow. But we have not found what to do with heads, and how much not to include into the final product ??? . Since we make several consecutive batches, we add tails (less than 30 ABV , up to 10 ABV, when we stop distilling) to the next batch. What do you think about it?

Another great video, thank you. Shame about the plums .. Your patron link isn’t working !

[@planetmoonshine6223]

Thanks, I will take a look at that.

Instead of a paste make a flour and water dough hake sure its hard dough. You do that because the dough s so much easier to work with and will completely cook with the heat and seal your joins. The other benefit if you do knock the still it wont break the seal.

HELL YEAH,, DUDE I MYSELF HAVE DONE THE SAME THING,,,OLD BUDDY GAVE ME SOME OF HIS MOM'S WHAT CALLED PANTY WINE

You're not worried about cycling with the hot plate?

[@planetmoonshine6223]

There's not much control over a little alembic like this, just get it flowing then dial back the heat until the flow seems right. Cycling was not an apparent problem as in you might expect flow variations as the heat cycled on and off, but I could not see evidence of that.

I’m very curious to know the difference in carbs between, say, Shiraz and DISTILLED Shiraz along with other wines. I’ve searched and don’t see any information

[@planetmoonshine6223]

The bad news is that all booze is calorific. Wine is around 83 cals per 100gm, and 40%ABV (80 proof) is around 230 cals per 100gm.

[@ormorphe]

@@planetmoonshine6223 it’s the carbs I’m more interested in. I do appreciate the calorie information as it is a curiosity as well. Thank you. I would love an accurate measuring tool at home for experiments to see calories and carbs.

[@planetmoonshine6223]

@@ormorphe yeah, sorry no idea on carbs, I a mate in a low carb diet, I will ask him. 😉

[@planetmoonshine6223]

@@ormorphe OK, spoke to my buddy, in a 125ml glass of red wine, carbs are 0.4, and in a single shot of brandy, zero. Hope this helps.

Sugars get left behind in distillation. Spirits have zero carbs unless they are added after distillation
