    Potassium sorbate doesn't kill yeast. It coats it so that it won't bud. It is not a fool proof method to stopping a fermentation. The best thing to do to stop fermentation is to rack your wine so that no lees are left in the bottom and the wine is very clear. Time is on your side if you're patient enough. Exploding bottles are seriously uncool. It's better to wait 4 months and do nothing which will ensure no fermentation is happening than to be hasty and end up having to clean up a horrible mess.

    I can only get everclear 151 where I live. That works. I extracted it more quickly by putting covered jars in the sous vide at 160F so the alcohol wouldn't boil off, washing hourly until the fluid layer got lighter in color, then dehydrating in a dehydrator. The brown, tarry resin is not soluble in oil. I added some alcohol back to it to suspend it and will be using it by the drop.

    You can do the same thing without all the bells and whistles. Dice or grind the peppers. And dump them in the ever clear. Sealed in a mason jar and set in the sun for a day or 2. The Alcohol will extract the capsaicin. Strain out the pepper bits and leave the jar open to allow the alcohol to evaporat. It may not be as fast or pure. But it's much less complicated, and it's damn hot. And a lot safer.

  • @BrazilSaint
    @BrazilSaint 8 місяців тому

    Great video - very well done! As for re-using the ethanol - you’ll probably find it has an intense pepper flavour, but without the heat, which doesn’t pass through the distillation process. I’ve done the reverse, distilling Carolina Reaper peppers to extract the flavour into alcohol without the burn! I would be cautious re-using that ethanol without flavour testing it first, as you would need some different kit to really get it back to neutral.

    Hi Is it safe to boil alcohol over 40%? Thanks

    • @cenobytecode
      @cenobytecode 8 місяців тому

      Depends on what you mean by safe. Alcohol of any concentration will boil off as pure ethanol (distillation). As with any solvent, never ever do this without an exhaust vent/hood or in a closed space as vapors can poison you or explode.

    • @BrazilSaint
      @BrazilSaint 8 місяців тому

      Yes, with precautions - once ethanol/alcohol starts to boil and creat vapour, the vapour is going to be highly flammable and concentrated regardless of the original abv of the ethanol source. Put another way, ethanol vapour coming off a 30% base will be the same as ethanol coming off a 48% base. That said, the % of the base does impact quite how fast it boils, so most distilleries don’t use a base ethanol mix of much over 45% just to keep the boil rate more controlled.

    You could extract without drying and get the same output. There's a research paper on it using 100 proof ethanol (4ml per gram fresh), 90C temp water bath over 2 hours. Recovery was over 85% of available capsaicin. With a sox, recovery would be even higher but they didn't use it due to needing to industrialize it. They also found anything over 50% alcohol (100 proof) didn't increase the recovery.

      @@SteveSerrano65 It's an older paper so maybe others have built upon their work but the title is: "Stage extraction of capsaicinoids and red pigments from fresh red pepper (Capsicum) fruits with ethanol as solvent" Should be available free to read if you google it. If I post a link, the algo ban hammer will punt me off and restrict my acct again. I have read a few later papers that compare ethanol with other non-editable solvents like hexane, acetone, methanol. Considering the safety factor, ethanol wins in everything except CO2 extraction (which is all but impossible for us home chemists).

      That is an excellent paper! So as not to repeat everything they did, but taking advantage of what they learned, I'm going to chop a kilo of serrano peppers in a food processor and soak the chopped veggies in warm 70% IPA for two days. The pressed filtrate will then be evaporated to dryness (or goo) at a mere 40 C (we have a dry climate). I won't bother to remove the last molecule of isopropanol because it's not that toxic. If it were, I'd be dead already.

    Hello, why didn't you expect the bag to be more swollen, pillow type, with that the sugar content is almost zero and the probiotics are formed in greater quantity, as well as the rest of the fermentation chemicals, such as short chain fatty acids. In addition, by cutting the fruit a little more, there is more contact with the fermentation surface.

    Hi Chef Dan. Just a few questions regarding your videos. I'm following along on your rhubarb wine videos and I'm wondering...1. If you're going to come out with the third video in the series? And 2. Just wondering if I can continue to ferment in the same carboy or if it's necessary to transfer to a second container for the second fermentation? Curious here since I don't have a second carboy. Of all the videos on rhubarb wine making, yours seems like the easiest to follow along with. Thank you for making the time to put these videos out.
