Dang Randy. Your knocking them out. That looks very tasty for sure. Was hoping at the end you saved some and put a little on wood Keep up the hard work ok

[@fourdeadinohio8303]

[@stillworksandbrewing]

I got 1 qt. white wanted to taste then might add wood

[@WSquared60]

Once I saw your breath condensing I wondered how that still run was going to go! Interesting you decided there was no reason to double distill. It sure looked good though...made me want to try that recipe next! Thanks for posting 👍

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Come back on Monday at 7 EST we are going to finish up (dose taste good) cheers

[@StillnTheClear]

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Thanks!

Next time you run Brandy shorten your column considerably. It will create how about more flavor in your Brandy.

You forgot 5 things in this video . LOL Looks good , going to try it . What happen to George Duncan , haven't see anything from him in a long while .

[@stillworksandbrewing]

took me few to figure out the 5 things got it cheers haven't heard from him

[@stephenb4411]

I miss George to, have been watching his video's for years. Beared and bored posted he is having a break from KZbin and hopefully he will be back soon. Cheers

[@stephenb4411]

Hi Randy, From the mash to bottling, how much would you say it cost you per litre to make. That was a lot of berries you used and here in Aussie land even frozen berries are expensive. A bottle of normal vodka here is about $50 AU for a 1 litre bottle. I am sure some viewers like myself would be interested if home distilling saves you money, I am sure it would here since the government tax is high. Doing a hobby you love, is the cost factor important. Would love to hear your views on this topic. Thanks Stephen

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Hi Stephen I have 1 more vid coming out on the beery Brandy I will have all the cost for you what i paid here in US come check out on Monday 700 EST Cheers my Friend

Are you packing your column or leaving it empty when running this?

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Hi Brandon I packed with two rolls of copper mesh only

[@aaronalexander6079]

hi again ive seen ur video where u use malted barley to convert starches was wondering if i could use barley malt extract instead..?

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Hi Aaron, you can not use malt extract because it has been cooked and those temps denature the enzymes used for conversion

[@kevinhoban4416]

Could you have warmed up the shine and added to sugar to melt it are you don't think that would work

[@stillworksandbrewing]

I dont like warming up the shine plus warming up berry's and sugar to help bring out the berry flavor

[@aaronalexander6079]

hi, i have just started with a cheap d.i.y distiller i bought by my, u stopped at distilling when i got to about 80 proof.? is there a reason for that..? can u not carry on and use the weaker idtilant to proof it down at the end..? im a beginner i have no idea

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Hi Aaron I stop at 80 proof and i see it dropping fast I like to stop before i hit tails. the lower the abv the more off taste when i proof down I like to use good clean water that's just the way I do it cheers

[@aaronalexander6079]

@@stillworksandbrewing ok thankyou... what do u do with ur heads and tails..? i chucked my heads and i had a couple bottles of mixed abv from tails or low abv.. i mixed it all and put bk into my still and run it and i got 1 litre of 75% sorry im english so 150 proof... is it safe to re run the heads with this..?

[@stillworksandbrewing]

@@aaronalexander6079 Heads and forshots I put in a jug for fire starter I will save tails and add to other batches and as far being English we all talk funny LOL Cheers my friend

[@timothymele3751]

Question, how did you end up with more distillate than you mathed?

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Hi Timothy, the math tell you let's say 2.5 qt. 200 proof ( we can't get that) if I pull off let's say 2.5 qt. 100 proof that would be 50% alcohol and 50% water
