Congrats! Way to think outside the box and carve a new path in the world of distillation. Pretty exciting...it kind of sounds like you may have some old spirits to go with your new spirits at the distillery. 😮

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

I believe that may be right about the spirits!

[@adamraski3145]

I really appreciate how sincere you are

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

Thank you very much, being self-conscious I learned to just be myself!

[@josephcook2314]

I love the logo Amanda. You hit the nail right on the head with the name. I graduated with a college prep seal but chose this lifestyle instead of college. I was blackballed by my family and have lived homeless in the woods with my passion for the past 20 years. Love hearing the story of how you came to be where you are now. -DirtySouthDistiller

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

I appreciate that! and thanks for sharing a little bit about your background.. Im proud of you for doing what you love to do! thank you for watching!

Thanks so much, we're excited too!

[@timmackenzie8145]

Congratulations Amanda!! I’ve been watching you since you first appeared on the Moonshiners Master Distiller show, and on to the Moonshiners show itself. I love the name of the new distillery, I can’t wait to buy a t-shirt. I’m so fascinated with distilling but I don’t drink booze anymore. I see all these different flavours and would love to just put a drop on my tongue to taste it (don’t worry, I’m not an alcoholic, I just always enjoyed drugs more lol). Anyway, all the best of luck on your venture, I’ll be watching. Let me know when the shirts go on sale! And perhaps a selection of airplane sized samplers for someone like myself whom a shot of liquor will last me a few hours.

[@ShaneLewis-n2o]

I really have wanted to learn for few years now, I really be interested in taking a class with you guys

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

We would love to have you join us for a class!

[@oldschoolprepper2273]

I’m really excited about everything that you’re doing. I know you’re a science girl I’ve been using used oak 1x1x4” staves with sweet Marsala in a vacuum, it soaks it up through and through but you can use anything use them in jars or barrels it works great so hard to find wine barrels inappropriate sizes. This is the next best thing.

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

Yes I have seen this technique, They make Those stainless steel barrels in 50G actually that pull a suction and also are temp controlled the rapid age with staves like this its very interesting!

[@SuperNessa83]

So I’ve separate the tree sap from the water by freezing and I’ve distilled the water put 10 gallons of maple water in the still and got just over 91/2 gallons in return any thoughts on this

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

Sp you have distilled water getting back 9.5 gallons from the original 10 gallons, it sounds like you have lost a bit to evaporation, or simply through the process of rectification you will always get back less then you out in.

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

If you used a thumper or any secondary distillation chambers then you have the missing maple water there. But I'm curious how it tastes?

[@SuperNessa83]

@@AmandaBryantDistilling I was under the impression that distilling water was a 3:1 ratio but yea the water still smells and taste like maple but I was able to make maple syrup that looks like water just by freezing it several times

[@SuperNessa83]

@ maple is 40:1 ratio people boil out the 39 gallons of water to concentrate the sap I’m saying freeze it out and keep the water

[@SmokedTamaleAlan]

This is super exciting, when we all heard the praise mark and digger and the whole rest of the cast have been giving you all these years the hype train started then! Cant wait to get out to west Virginia to check this out and take a class myself! Looking forward to this story playing out🤘🥃🤘

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

Thank You Very Much!

[@rochj6208]

Could you please let us know when you have merchandise?I definitely need a hoodie or a t-shirt from UNHOLY BEGINNINGS!thank you .

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

For sure! Im excited to get some merch out soon and I will let you know!

[@rochj6208]

Thank you so much!!!​@@AmandaBryantDistilling

[@Kazmir]

Just wondering where in Virginia the classes are held?

[@Kazmir]

Or Georgia?

[@barnardman]

I know the class is full already but how much do they cost

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

We have classes that are 12 students it's a 2-day class with a lot included, if you'd like to email us at [e-mail] I can send you a breakdown of the whole weekend. classes are currently 750$ for the whole weekend.

[@jbwagonmaker8887]

You have worked hard for this, we're proud of you.. Feel free to advertise unholy on any of my moonshine life groups, I have 100,000 members

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

Thank You JB I really appreciate that I am always afraid to post in your group! lol I don't want to upset anyone. I appreciate your support very much!

[@jbwagonmaker8887]

@AmandaBryantDistilling i don't allow much but I belive in a place you can learn our craft..

[@ShaneLewis-n2o]

Congratulations! Can you get me a deal in 20 gal set up from NGSC? I can’t afford 1700 lol

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

😂LOL! maybe they will take payments!

[@ShaneLewis-n2o]

@ I wish they would, I’ve been trying to to get one for four years just want to play with favors

[@Choppershot]

Why is it called UNHOLY

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

I explain the name in the video. It tells a story of how no one is perfect and we all come from unholy beginnings and become better people. It also tells a story of our town Saint Paul VA, we are not unholy people, we all use our struggle in life to come to better places.. also We are illegal moonshiners becoming legal distillers

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

The whole explanation is in this video

[@patmancrowley8509]

Amanda, the name of the company is displeasing. I can't imagine how the group came about that name but as a good man I won't be buying your product.

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

The name is thoroughly explained in the video, it originated from a historical article written about the town our building is in but tells story of illegal moonshiners going into a legal industry, no one is ever perfect in the begin we learn to become good from our beginnings, its unfortunate your upset with the name.

[@DScottyG]

I couldn’t sleep thinking about making wine and I bought all the additives and then I got a 3 gallon carboy and I was making my first batch. Now I have (3) 3 gallon carboys and a floor model corker. I only do fruit wine, haven’t tried grapes yet but I’m slowly getting more interested in making something stronger it takes more money but I love it when somebody really likes my wine, you can knock me over with a feather I feel like you share the thirst I have except you know more than me I think that’s why I’m drawn to you and your informative videos and the show you’re on

[@AmandaBryantDistilling]

I definitely share the passion, it's the craft that gets in your blood
