I Made The Peaky Blinders Gin

[@wheelyben]

Australian Gin using local aromatics has become pretty big in the past 5-10 years. I'd love to see you do a "NZ Gin" that uses uniquely kiwi aromatics.

[@lindeehorman8039]

I bought a Blood Orange gin from Ladbroken Distilleryin Tumbarumba NSW, that uses “hints” of Feijoas as one of the botanicals ….it is delicious.

[@mattwhitten4296]

Same thing happening in TX. Love to see it

[@whatshappenedhere1784]

Horopito and konini are 2 ideas

[@AstrixCloud]

Could try use mingi mingi berries and maybe even Manuka flowers or leaves too

[@hvarthtonn6870]

totara berries would be good i reckon, as a subtle background note.

[@johnmarksmith1120]

An acquaintance sent this to me and I love your personality and on screen presence. The person that sent me the link doesn’t know I just celebrated 17 years of sobriety. That being said, I would love to subscribe, but I just can’t. I know all too well where my mind goes. It’s certainly nothing personal and I wish you and your channel nothing but success. Hats off and respect to those that can stop at one or two.👍

[@BenceOláh-k1z]

It was amazing I missed the “by order of the peaky blinders” sentence from the end but it was absolutely amazing

[@innocentbystander2673]

Educational and absolutely hilarious bits. Well done, an excellent production as always.

[@StillIt]

Cheers mate glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@tomhill4003]

Great work Jesse! I'm a big Peaky Blinders fan, and you totally nailed it! Your wife is a great sport for playing along and putting up with your "hobby". Hats off to her! She is a brave and amazing woman.

Dude! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻love the gin stuff. She even went as far as attempting to become a BJCP judge 🥰. Ty for breaking down the potato/starch part! 🤘🏻from NC in the US 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@fordcapri6288]

Interestingly, the 'stills' in peaky blinders are actually the heating system for the Edwardian era Manchester palace swimming baths, as seen in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIaUpJipg7ZkkNE they just dressed them up as stills :)

Welcome to the channel 😊

When you did the Arthur contribution i just about collapsed with laughter. Very nicely done! He would be proud of you i"m sure.

[@jonathannorthup5705]

Nice cool experiment 👌

[@joshlego4775]

I appreciate the freedom units x D

[@DRIFTGORILAZ]

Love your work, but I do have to say in reference to your statement of the 1940's?? @4.09 The Peaky Blinders were actually active during the 1880's to 1910's

[@darksword67]

And Seagram gin and Tanqueray all my favorite brands

[@Dallen9]

Peaky Blinders is set in the 1920's around the events and times of the Irish Independence movement in Ireland with some interactions and events happening in England.

[@chadbrennenstuhl5923]

Loved it! I ordered Erin's book, think the Grandkids are gonna love it.

[@redstone1999]

We have an East Coast Canada craft distiller who makes a great potato gin at 55%ABV.

[@ausbjmcd]

Lighting up in a distiller's shed... I was half expecting the place to blow up

I started cracking up at the freedom numbers bit🤣🇺🇸

[@thomasnyberg991]

Awesome stuff!! I really need to try this out soooon!!! One question though. What was the last additive you put in using a credit card. it sounded like you said "Extra" but that to my brain just didn't compute 🥴 Keep on stillin

[@BeardedBored]

Nice! And congrats Erin!

[@dirtfarmer4885]

Thanks man

[@padredelaverde]

If I had money you'd be on the list of patreon people I'd support. Thank you for all the great info and commentary. Keep on chasing the craft!

[@FFDfirechef]

Well done, I was never a fan of Gin ..... that is until I made a batch of my own from a recipe you showed some time back, I do believe that the freshness makes all the difference.

[@StillIt]

Gin gas a huge gamet of flavour too. Its pretty cool being able to play around and find what suits your taste.

[@trousers2]

Was that the Odin's gin? I did one batch that was the best gin I'd ever had, so decided to do another, and the second was the worst gin I'd ever had hahaha

[@jole9000]

You can use gelatin powder to stick labels to bottles, but they are definitely not water proof.

[@StillIt]

Nice, I have done milk and flour before too. The print will run if it gets wet anyway.

[@christopherphelps3101]

Awesome

[@williamwood6616]

[@ИгорьИгорь-д6ф]

Wet cement - is a good comparison/description

[@edwin77118]

Good quality video enjoyed it, good learning. Keep it up!

[@setra23]

High starch potatoes would be best for fermenting. If you can get hold of things like Russets, Yukon Gold or Maris Piper (any good chipping/roasting potatoes) would be my go to, if it was legal to home distil in the UK.

[@manatoa1]

Old wrinkly potatoes will also be more concentrated in starch.

[@user-to5nd5nc8h]

One of the only videos with peaky blinders in the name that isn't cringe

[@craigherron243]

Great vid Jesse, the wife and I spent lockdown here in Christchurch binging on Peaky. Must get myself an airstill to do these little distillations - i run most of mine through a 30 litre still and carter head so I end up with alot of gin after each run :) .

[@darksword67]

I love me some Gin especially when you mix it with juice of any type especially orange juice

[@philiptruitt]

Thanks, Jesse!

[@freedomtowander]

I bought a still spirits turbo air still and the safety temp switch melted. I bypassed the shut off and burned my machine down. Please only use as directed these require constant supervision to ensure safety. Don’t leave it like I did.

[@jeanmanuel6182]

I love how he gives us "freedom units" as if we can get ahold of a still legally over here, like half his audience are moonshiners id assume😅😭 though I absolutely love the whole freedom units thing

[@pilsplease7561]

Its federally legal but some states ban it at the state level despite being federally legal which is technically illegal for states to do.

[@troyleach5471]

This was a fantastic video! super entertaining and informational! can't wait to make this!

This was excellent; one of my favorites I've watched from you

[@markrobinson77]

Great video, really interesting. I think that back in the prohibition era that they would have gone for an Old Tom Gin, which would have been sweet to cover up cheap ingredients and dubious distillation, unlike your expert, well distilled recreation. Shelby Company were also into Rum. Looking forward to that video Jesse.

[@yurydelorenzis-polezhaev2036]

[@trippymchippy8586]

I'd me most interested to see you take a look at Ibicenco Heirbas. As an ex Ibiza (Baleairic Island in Spain) resident, it is something of a big deal over there and I drank more than my fair share. Apparently 200 indigenous 'erbs in there. There is a local 'brand' but many people make their own, often having fancy bottles with all manner of herbacious twigs and flowers inside.

[@patrickellis3205]

That was fun! Nice work 😊

[@the_whiskeyshaman]

Hell yea. That’s a super cool recipe. I’m gonna try this one. Damn the list is getting larger and larger.

[@StillIt]

Hahaha yeah I'm always add to the list faster than I can make it

[@chefdalling637]

I never sweeten my gin. I'm trying to cut down on sugars in general but I get the reason for you adding it. Another great vid

[@darrensim295]

Out of curiosity, what do you do with the foreshot/heads/tails? Do you make your own hand santiser/house cleaning liquids?

Fun stuff! Have you tried the little botanicals basket for the Air Still?

[@StillIt]

Yup, it works well. Bit it can be a little small depending on the recipe. I tend to gravitate back to maceration rather than vapour path.

[@jameslanning8405]

Tommy's 'still,' was a hollywood prop. It wasn't a real still. Go to most large distilleries and you'll mostly see copper and/ or stainless steel. Heads and hearts and tails are basic and to taste. I was under the impression, that gin makers, used an 'infusion,' process, rather than mixing the herbs directly into the run. I was thinking the 'infusion,' process was a space in the still, where the evaporating liquid would pass through the herbs, before it went to the condenser. So the flavors of the herbs would be picked up by the liquor, passing through them from the still to the condenser. But maybe I'm just a drinker and not a master distiller!

[@EuelBall]

Great video, great gin, great wife! Nice homage to a TV show! 😁 Next time, do Klingon firewine...

[@JohnnyWrongo-b9l]

Alfie Solomon's comment about needing to make it sweeter for the American market is correct. Contemporary tequila makers have begun to make sweeter tequila for the American market. Not a happy thing for lovers of the older style tequilas and mezcals.

Gin is an acquired taste, but once acquired, nothing beats a G&T made with good gin and good tonic (not too much though, just a splash 😜)

@@WhiteRvssian2023 I've been working on a Single Malt that is as good as I can make, to my taster, my wife, and the buddy who introduced us to Singke Malt/ Scotch. About have it perfected. Might try gin after I FINALLY make the rum I got ingredients for 2 years ago, lol. Thanks for the opinion 👍👍

[@seatroutking7555]

Hi I am enjoying the channel great info. Have you tried making Poitin, Irish moonshine we make it and infuse it with Slows the berry from blackthorn bushes it gets a deep purple colour and add sugar to balance the tart berry’s I also tried your forced whiskey using poitin 🥃 wow

[@NilovMV]

Hello my friend! I'm from Russia. I watch your videos all the time. I want to share my gin recipe. - ripe fragrant medium-sized grapefruit (250-300 grams) - juniper berries - 50 grams - 3 liters of double-distilled moonshine with a strength of 40-45% 1. Pour juniper into a jar. 2. Finely chop the grapefruit along with the peel and place in a jar. 3. Pour juniper berries and grapefruit with moonshine until the jar is full. 4. Insist 4-5 days in a warm place. 5. Filter the infusion into an alembic. 6. Pour 3 liters of clean drinking water into the cube. 7. Distill on a column-type apparatus with a reflux condenser. 8. Dilute to 45% alcohol 9. Add a tea boat of sugar or bonifier. 10. Give it a rest Translated in google translator.😄

[@StillIt]

Sounds tasty mate :)

[@NilovMV]

@@StillIt You can tint with anchan tea, give a blue tint. And then if you add lemon to gin tonic or bitter lemon in a glass, the drink will change color from blue to pink.

[@redstone1999]

I drink gin with sweeten grapefruit juice and a tsp of lemon juice. So a grapefruit gin would be up my ally.

[@fugu4163]

The real peaky blinders occured in the 1870s but the book and tv show are in the 1920s Seems like really nice gin but i should probably prefer it without the added sugar

[@averagemamil4523]

Not sure if it’s been mentioned, but there is an older style of English gin called ‘ Old Tom’ - which tends to be sweeter than London Dry Gin - I think that’s probably what Tommy was thinking about 🤔

Really cool video for a Peaky Blinder's fan that I am. One question though, Can you call it gin as your base alcohol has not reached 96%ABV? As I've heard, gin has to be a distillation of a 96%ABV base with Juniper at least to be called Gin. Otherwise it has to be called Juniper Spirit. May be you will correct me ? Or maybe European law are different when coming to alcohol regulations.
