I just ran my first mash. Used mangoes to make 4 gallons of mash. Distilled it and got nearly 2 quarts out. I checked the strength with a refractrometer and had 40 to 60% alcohol. It has a background mango flavour. Not strong - pleasant. I ran a 5 gallon pot still with a small thumper ½ full of mango. Took my time getting up to temp and tossed the first ½ pint, never got above 200f tails were about 35%. Watch your videos before I did anything. Couldn’t have done it without you! Mash was 5 lb fresh mango pulp 4 Lb sugar, water to make 4 gal. It took 7 days to ferment in about 80f Keep up the videos. Thanks Chris

I just recently learned this from my wife that being there are two different measurements when it comes to cooking which applies to what you’re doing here in this video. There is a dry measuring cup/spoon and liquid measuring cup/spoon. Noticed a difference in taste when making my apple pie moonshine using the correct measuring utensils. Just thought Id put it out there.

Howdy Cyrus. So as it is that I haven't gotten any time to do any conversing back and forth with you I have in the meantime though got a couple other things done. One of which is I was talking to my dad and he brought to my attention jokingly that I had quite the collection of Court jars and while what was in him wasn't horrible it just wasn't quite up to par for our standards for one reason or another. Well we got to Counting and collecting and realized we had about 3 gallons all together of a hodgepodge of Brandy's rum and Bourbons of different assortments so what we did was ran all of it through a 200 micron filter into one Collective container and invested in some peach mango juice because I couldn't find any just flat peach juice. And a few bags of frozen peaches. We ran the collected hodgepodge through that juice and peaches with about 2/3 of a quart of good 120 liquor mixed with a gallon of what was the juice and peaches in the thumper and ended up with about just short of a gallon of really yummy . For whatever reason it's not very strong. I'm not sure how strong it is as it is that I accidentally broke my hydrometer tube and I'm waiting on my new one to come. But as best I can figure it all ended up being about 120 if that collectively at one gallon from the 3 gallons that was there originally. Now what I've done is collected the back set from the thumper. And I'm planning on making a simple syrup like you did in this video from that back set. And then mixing it back with that gallon that came from the Run I will let you know how she turns out. (May our hair stay long forever and a song and may we both Shine On until the day we are gone). What a trip that just came to me out of nowhere lol.

So if I am calculating right your Peach Cobbler is about 17 proof. Is that right? 1500 ml of 0% and 250 ml of 60% = 8.61% or 17.22 proof is that right? I guess you could say it was less than 1550 because of the peaches raising the volume but seems like the peaches may also absorb some alcohol. So maybe the amount of peach liquid is closer to 1300ml and 250 ml for 19.42 proof. But how much of that will be absorbed by the peaches? Who knows. 🤣
