E175 Flavor and Flavoring

[@Windsong_STC]

I make a pretty good caramel apple, but haven't attempted to create a peanut butter yet. Feeling inspired 😉

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Cheers my Friend

I can’t wait to make the caramel apple, but do you make it using a sugar wash, corn mash or what?

Great topic Randy! Nice job.

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Thanks

[@mikew.1902]

May have to give Olive Nation flavoring a try. I always love it when your eyes light up when you are surprised by a flavor. Always enjoy your videos.

[@stillworksandbrewing]

It's so good!

[@hillbilly21478]

Great videos.

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Glad you like them!

[@carlreed3571]

YES,,,RANDY ,,THANKS FOR THE INFO I WILL TRY TOAST WOOD CHIPS,,,

[@BigEdsGuns]

Randy, Add a Pinch of Salt!! ALWAYS! (In this case peanut flavor - add a tiny amount of salt) Think Cooking Recipe. It Balances flavor. Another technique is to add likker to the sweetener (sugar). Then add it back to the batch so as not to dilute the product. Cheers Buddy! Sorry I missed the live stream... Best wishes on the anniversary!

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Thanks for the tips!

[@PoppaLongroach]

Olive Nation extracts are the best, I use them all the time. 1 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup light Karo syrup 5 cups water Simmer 5 minutes let cool a few minutes then 1/2 tablespoon your favorite extract. Makes 1 qt of flavor, I add 1 quart of likker and let it sit few days. It's fantastic

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Thanks that recipe sounds very good I will try it

[@PoppaLongroach]

@@stillworksandbrewing If you cut back to 3.5 cups of water it gives it a very Schnapps feel imo.

[@Stewbphoto]

I made a pineapple cream rum with olive nation flavoring and it was so awesome didn't last long around friends and family!!

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Sounds good

[@mauistevebear]

I use Olive Nation extracts... 5-star stuff!!

[@stillworksandbrewing]

yep Cheers

[@Mychannel-fw5mb]

Sorry for commenting so much...but what proofs are these jars at may I ask?...or did I miss that part? Thanks for the knowledge sir Randy!

[@stillworksandbrewing]

80 proof

[@kennethmiddlebusher2715]

Randy, how long did you oak the bread whiskey?

[@stillworksandbrewing]

1 week wanted it to be light

[@Mychannel-fw5mb]

Would this work the same with a homemade simple syrup?..or is it imperative that the sugars be inverted?

[@kiwiprouddavids724]

I have fermented my leftover sugar syrup from preserving peaches and the peaches definitely came through a little bit ,and had less yeast taste so I started adding a jar of my preserved fruit or jams to all my sugar washes .......just did my first grain mash but I was thinking that when I do my next preserving and have leftover sugar syrup I'll add some corn to it and see if flavor comes through with the corn

[@stillworksandbrewing]

simple sugar is fine

[@stillworksandbrewing]

sounds good to me

[@Mychannel-fw5mb]

@@kiwiprouddavids724 nice

[@rexjohnson8597]

Enjoy your videos, and I was just wondering how to flavor my spirits, and now I know! I was wondering what is the proof of you spirits when you add you flavoring’s?

[@Mychannel-fw5mb]

That’s crazy...I never could use those extracts correctly, I can’t wait to give it another try

[@stillworksandbrewing]

You should!

[@carlreed3571]

NO ,,,RANDY ,,MINE TAST ONE WAY NASTY NASTY,AND HOT,,,,,,LOL!!!!

[@kiwiprouddavids724]

Best flavoring I found was Australian red rum ,but I found what I'm pretty sure is American white oak hear in NZ and there's a good size branch came down in a storm so I would really like to develop a nice sweet recipe and good technique to use with that wood ,I have posted a couple of crappy videos of my experiments with different woods I have around me for ageing , going to do a update in a week or two . And I was going to instead of using a coffee filter and activated charcoal for filtering this next batch I'm going to get a bit of that oak to make charcoal and try the Lincoln county process ..... I have been using my preserved fruit in my sugar mashes but just did my first grain mash the aroma is so much better ,so I have to start developing my tasting skills and knowledge of what flavors different grains use. Sorry for rambling I'm on a hi arfter a successful first grain mash,my second pumping away now and finding some oak I can take all I want of ..... It's been a good week 👍😁

[@kiwiprouddavids724]

PS was thinking of adding a teaspoon of manuka honey to my whiskey after two week oaking and putting in bottles ,it should dissolve and bring out some sweetness ,be interested in your thoughts if you have ever done that

[@stillworksandbrewing]

I think your right it will dissolve and should be nice i have back sweeten with maple syrup was very good so i would say honey would be good cheers
