Strawberry Moonshine on the Vevor still

[@justdavedoindavestuff3479]

The whole sharing with Friends and family thing, I don't have any friends. And my family wants me to pay the money I owe them before I get a still. Obviously, I'm between a rock and a hard place. But you're the guy that actually made me want to get it still, I've been watching Jesse from still it for a while, but you're the one that made it look doable, thank you.

[@remmahneb]

Love the ending message!

So I am a first time moonshine maker and just ordered a Vevor. Thank you for your videos I will be checking back regularly to see how to do everything. My family comes from W Virginia and I have moonshine makers in my family tree. I am a little scared because i live in an apartment but I figure as long as I take it slow I should be fine? Any tips or suggestions would be welcomed. The Vevor I bought is a 5 gallon and after watching your videos I wish I would have started with the 8 but its too late now. Thanks for your passion on distilling, I am excited to start!

I've experimented with leaving my thumper empty lately. I liked the results so much I modified the 1 gallon thumper for my stove top rig into a plain Ole slobber box. I'll be taking the thump arm out of my 10 gallon thumper and cutting it off to make it a slobber box probably tomorrow cause I like the results

[@scottmcneill6333]

I've been doing the same thing ever since I got a thumper with my 3 gal Vevor and continuing on to my double half gal thumper setup with my 8 gal copper still.

[@darkhunter5594]

Door opens he shuts up for a GD 30 secs lol he knew was at home but still ingrained lol love ya philbilly

[@darrenlewis1409]

Do you think you could do some videos for total beginners using the Vevor? Like how to make the mash, how to set the still up, how to work it? Like a complete walkthrough

[@JamesPoole-pm1ts]

I back this man 100%.......... the truth is hard to come by these days and he is the definition of it

[@timchapman6702]

This guy is as real as they come.

[@billb89]

I'm about to fire up my Vevor for my firt ever run. I think it's a good starting point.

[@landcare-outdoorfun176]

Thank you for a very informative video. Thank you for all the positive encouragement.

[@elaineshoemaker8229]

Can you use cornmeal for part of your mix for shine ? What about oatmeal ? Can you use that too ?

[@onetimer648]

Wish you had playlists

[@jaspercane6608]

Moonshiners TV fan. A buddy pointed me your way here on KZbin. Ordered the Velor 5g tonight to test the waters. Only have a million and a half questions but many forums for that. Really appreciate your comments 9:31 you seem like a great guy. When its time to upgrade I'll come your way. Thanks for the videos they have been very inspirational in helping me to decide to try my hand at this.

[@F8TL_392]

I’ve pulled 160-175 out of the vevor. Using a pineapple mash. Definitely want try this though

[@jongrizz1482]

I ran a sugar wash last week and don’t like the smell or taste of it!

[@PoppaLongroach]

Through trial and error I've discovered using g say malted barley for nutrients on fruit mashes really cuts that burn down.

[@jodychansler1110]

Great video, can you explain how to make that jar thumper and what we need to do that?

[@sherrygalloway7099]

I have never made liquor; never even made distilled water. But I'm gunna start. I'll be watch more of your videos. I have subscribed.

[@fredflintstone358]

If you use strawberries when making the mash, doesn't the distillation of the strawberry infused mash strip away the flavor?

[@timothykappel198]

Yea u got to throw a lil fruit in there with that sugar mash to give it a lil flavor to overcome it. But that sugar shine is known not to give hangovers.

[@joecanino5528]

Hey bud I really like your stuff I have been watching alot of videos to get my knowledge up I brew beer but I really wanna make shine how much for a keg still

[@PoppaLongroach]

Great advice on stills. I have a 3 gallon copper rig, and a 30 gallon rig. I have loads of fun tinkering with recipes in my lil still. Then when I find a recipe I like I crank it out in my 30 gallon.

[@elaineshoemaker8229]

What kind of mix can I use for my first shine ? Can you use cornmeal , or even oatmeal as part of your mix with rye ?

[@jjleda7324]

I'm a mead brewer. Unfortunately I brewed a 6 gallon batch of peach mead that turned out terrible. I don't like throwing nothing away. So my thoughts are to turn it into peach brandy. Will a vevor work to make this bland boring peach mead turn into a reasonable brandy? I was thinking about using can peaches and peach shnapps in the thumper.

[@kevin_ninja_jones2363]

I was just given a box of peaches a box of plums and 3 watermelon and I don't know what to do with them for now I'm going to clean them cut them up and freeze them

[@bigeaze5711]

Go check out big eaze’s peach brandy video

[@Nick.k18]

Vevor offers many different style stills. Do you recommend the one with the “football” vapor chamber on top or the one that has everything in the 3 different pots?

[@steveburton3543]

i see you modified your still to add the thump keg .. can you share what you did

[@charlessiems5100]

Any down side to adding copper mesh in the football on the vevor 8 gal.?

[@stevenwilliams5459]

I just bought this still off Amazon, any links to the best drinking, good proof liquor, with ingredients for mash?

[@josephgrudza3873]

What about using a water filter like Brita?

[@bigfish4664]

What are the connections your using to attach the jar clamp size and such

[@charlessiems5100]

Question for anyone, we need to proof down to 40 present before we run it in the still right?

[@FjHenderson]

Wondering how it would have run through a reflux column.

[@brianhatt]

i have a veror looking into getting up grades ??? do have some advise ????

[@jamescrawford9786]

Phil how many pounds of strawberries you estimate for 5 pounds

[@dougshelton69]

I need a half gallon jar to hook into 2 inch triclamp pipe...any thoughts?????

[@bobbydence5038]

Where can I get a spare silicone loop for my pot?

[@tylerarnold8807]

How did you make the thumper I really would like to do the same

[@bigeaze5711]

I created the thumper jar, it’s really simple just a thumper jar with a couple fittings on the end

[@darkhunter5594]

@@bigeaze5711 hey got a quick ? U guys have a time table on that give away or no n only reason I'm asking is I'm disabled n on SSI get paid once a month on the 3rd if giving away soon I will wait n try to hold 90 bucks back bc sure I won't win anyways but doubt I will be able to 700 a month is hard n alot of stuff wants money 😂😂

[@SnareTrapSurvive]

Question: So as I understand it, if I am looking to make a more flavorful product I was told that the less copper I run it through, the more flavor it will retain but may be less alcohol content, is that right? At least this is what one dude told me. For example, running a brandy. I had always been told that the thump keg would be used to help impart flavors that the copper length didn't matter.. so confused now

[@flyHawaii989]

Aloha guys from the big island of Hawaii, I just got my VEVOR 18 and a half gallon still and ran some water through it. I haven't run my sacrificial run yet I'm just curious though why they wouldn't put a drain spout on the bottom of the big 18 and a half gallon am I overlooking something obvious?

[@mkapo8509]

Add 50-60$ bucks on starting price, 2 3 steps when making it . Price would change, and probably would go in crowded market.. as cheap starting one it nice, and adding one your self any that hard I guess and if you decide to use holesaws bi metals might as well drill holes for elements, Aldo probably is good as it's since you can store it more easy or use for regular cooking :) thought if you don't want to drill solder/weld, I would maybe depending where I use and heating source make a rig and use strap around it and tip/ flip it in wheelbarrow or simply wash away with water that how they use bigger destilers in my region...

[@terrybruskie6543]

You can always go to home depo and grab fittings and add one!

[@richcaseaxon]

LOL you were born to make moonshine! Crack me up. Cheers.

[@martinloria1716]

What can i do just to make it to burn

Good video.

[@jongrizz1482]

I ran a sugar wash last week. My very first run had blackberries in my thumper. The taste of it is disgusting. I will not do a sugar wash again. I have a vevor 5 gallon also need to upgrade something’s

[@irishlove3905]

My question is what do you do about back pressure once you shut off you’re still

[@kodyhouston207]

just leave the cold water circulating and let the residual steam work its way out

[@irishlove3905]

@@kodyhouston207 thanks bro makes sense

[@bigeaze5711]

Pop a valve or pop your triclamp

That fly approves of your sugar wash

[@genepack3073]

Dont even like whisky but I love makin it!!

[@garymesser4733]

I quit using it but I have a 2.5 gallon still its very small every time I tried using it it it would puke all the way through the worm an out the spout my coon pecker got blew out of the spout it puked so hard lol

[@kodyhouston207]

Should leave a half gallon head space and heat up very slow and run it slow

[@genepack3073]

Bring up to temp SLOW SLOW SLOW. solved My same problem.

[@PoppaLongroach]

@@genepack3073 exactly 💯 heat the still up like your making homemade spaghetti sauce.......medium heat. Low and slow my friend

[@timchapman6702]

Put a little butter in the pot. It works for me.

[@rickshown7770]

Well I'm only use my one pulling 5 gallons or 1 and a half gallon still ran straight to a worm so all I'm getting is like half a quart

[@codyreynolds6333]

Sugar shine has no methanol at all and their is more methanol in tails then heads somthing new I just learned fruit has the most methanol grain the least sugar has none and in wine and beer it isn't took out at all
