If either Jason or Brian aren’t there, I worry that one has accidentally/ intentionally killed the other

[@lonedog80]

Jason fell into a vat, when a bunch of mini Diamond Jims showed up to sing a song about it. Brian turns to Rex Williams (who is wearing a top hat) and asks "What, what are those?" and with a glare Rex responds "those, my pony tailed friend, are from an island far away, they're called Coleslaws..."

[@micklane7306]

This might sound arbitrary but I think it's important to acknowledge not just how passionate jason and Brian are about all these episodes but also what good listeners they are. Seeing how Brian takes in the info while on the tour and relates it to his own knowledge shows how much he loves this. Truly well done episode as always guys!

So, Gin is basically just Liquor Tea...That's why the British love it so much!

[@andrewharper1609]

I'm British and the only time I had a gin Martini I blacked out and wound up dancing with a pretty blonde for the next three hours. I came to still dancing and was so exhausted I had to sit down. I've stayed away from it since. I do think Sloe gin tastes really nice though.

[@MrGrimsmith]

Kind of, yes. In a classic G & T though the tonic is equally important, as is what you add to it. I still hold that Tanqueray gin, Fevertree tonic and a wedge of lime is perfect for me. Others differ in opinion but, much like our approach to tea, they're allowed to be wrong as long it's still gin :)

[@theblackbaron4119]

That is oddly specific c: is there something you would like to tell us?

[@DaveC74]

I'm shocked there's a drinking episode and Jason isn't in it.

[@vanguard616]

Didn't Jason say he went alcohol free?

[@RushGamma]

Jason stopped drinking a while ago I believe.

[@michaelparham1328]

He hasn't drank in over a year. At least not during an episode. I've spent like 15-20 minutes trying to track down why, but it's mostly speculation and hearsay. I'm still wondering why it's not referenced in any way shape or form. I get it if he'd rather keep it private, but again, that just leads to assumptions. Regardless of the reason, I feel like expressing it to the community would have nothing but positive implications for the show, the cast, and fans who might also be in a similar situation.

[@jrphredrickson5888]

[@Nvenom8.]

I like that Brian's growing his hair out. Us long-haired men gotta represent. Also, he can move forward with confidence that this will never be the most embarrassing decision he's made with regard to hairstyles.

[@cromwandelure9901]

[@adamrassi3516]

Gin (Tangueray) and tonic taste like Christmas lol Such a fun flavor during the holidays.

[@DasVERMiT]

I like to go with the Tanqueray Rangpur since it's already got lime flavor in it. The citrus works great for the summer so really they're tasty year-round!

[@brysonfields2284]

Gin makes my entire body shiver, uughg gha i cant drink it lol

[@Don_of_the_Dad]

Tangueray is gross. It’s low on the list of good gin, right below perfume, but right above diabetic urine.

[@Pigeon__Man]

"Fusel oil" will always remind me of Robbie Robot analyzing the cooks bourbon. "Yes... relatively simple alcohol molecules with traces of fusel oil. Would 60 gallons be sufficient?" I've been to a few stills here in the NJ/NY/PA area and it's always interesting to hear the process. The one in Roscoe, NY made a gin they put in a barrel shortly, that was different. I hate gin and I loved that gin.

Okay, Brian, it's time to give you a hint. Instead of using a boring plain rubber band for your hair, use a steel hairpin. Easiest way to carry a concealed weapon. Also, Good episode! Nice to learn about new spirits!

[@spacetexan8695]

This episode is super cool guys!

[@treyreppe4348]

Stripping and rectifying are often used in chemical engineering. You should talk about azeotropes maybe if you discuss high proof spirit's (ie vodka or moonshine). An azeotrope is a point where the vapor mixture won't change (this results in a "maximum" proof) also for flavors lighter modules will travel higher changing flavors on each tray. Also each tray would be equalizent to a time in the pot still

Everyone wishes they understood Gin? Easy there Pony Tail, that's a pretty silly assumption.

[@damionlee7658]

If you want to get the most from your gin, start out by taking a generous sip and use it like mouthwash. It will burn, it won't taste nice, and you'll hate me for suggesting it. You can then either swallow that sip, or spit it out. Now you are ready to enjoy that gin. You will get more of the flavours, they will be richer, and the gin will be more enjoyable to drink. Trust me, it will change the way you drink gin forever.

[@danebraun1714]
