@@TechIngredients I know of no youtuber more competent and prepared than yourself to properly test a critical meme-of-the-age: "could you cook a chicken with enough *sound* ?" Slapping and hurling are insufficient for high watts of thermalization - others have tried. Meanwhile, your sound cannon may be what the world has been waiting for! Just a stray thought, if there's ever a gap in time that needs a bit of silliness :)

[@RobertSeviour1]

"The amount of detail. . . information . . . contained in your videos are overwhelming!" - It's the 'techie disease' and while I can tolerate it because I suffer from the same, it's not the optimum for a general audience. If you have so much to say, you can be sure that a good chunk of it is not really needed / will fly over the heads of the audience. And that means that the degree to which viewer interest is held is diluted. (I presented techie seminars for 20 years and learned this the hard way). Tightly edited beats 'wordy'.

Great job! I've been brewing for 20 years and distilling for 5, and I have to say that this is one of the best treatments of the subject that I've seen in such an abbreviated format. The only think you may want to consider is (especially if using well water), the presence of iron, which can ruin the flavor of either brew or distilled products. Most sources I've seen suggest that keeping iron below 0.3 ppm (mg/L) will result in acceptable water. I really love that you touched on nuances like mixing, aeration, cooling and heating, etc. Again, Great Job!

Interesting video. I use a similar setup for the mead that I make. I usually use Fermaid O for the starter and EC 1118 or D47 yeast because of the aromatics they add when aging the mead over the lees. I also add Fermaid K nutrients at the 1/3 and 2/3 sugar breaks to help keep it going. I personally use a "big mouth bubbler" style of fermentation vessel with a spigot at the bottom. That way I usually end up with 4 drinkable gallons out of a 5 gallon brew. I have been improving my method over about 3 years and just added a heating pad with thermometer to the mix, but I still use a blanket folded in half and wrapped around the jug for insulation. It is always interesting seeing what other brewers do for their setup and look for ways to improve my own brewing process.

As a long time subscriber, I must say that your content continually gets better and better. This is by far the best video on rum making that I have seen. I have dabbled with home distillation for the last few years following my time living abroad in Haiti. I learned to appreciate the complexities of rum and the very dark and controversial history associated with it after visiting the original Barbancourt rum distillery and several of the old plantation museums that show how truly horrendous this industry was during its early years. Barbancourt is often credited as one of the first commercially produced rums, and until recently was even produced in the same distillery using the same recipe that quite literally became the notorious spirit that was prized and traded by the pirates of the Caribbean.

[@TechIngredients]

Thanks! Very interesting as well. The more you dig into the history of what we assume is an unremarkable product it's suprising how wide ranging are the factors that lead to it. Paper is another example.

[@KarryKarryKarry]

It’s not sustainable to grow vegetables in a hydroponic setup. Most of the time you’ll end up paying more for the produce than the stuff you get at the supermarket. If you’re into a more balanced and environmentally friendly way of life then you’re better off sourcing your produce from nearby farms that are producing ecologically. In the EU there’s a certificate the farmers can earn if they uphold the standards for ecological production for example. In the US i believe you’re out of luck so you’re going to have to actually visit the farms and see for yourself and use your own best judgement.
