I just ran my first mash. Used mangoes to make 4 gallons of mash. Distilled it and got nearly 2 quarts out. I checked the strength with a refractrometer and had 40 to 60% alcohol. It has a background mango flavour. Not strong - pleasant. I ran a 5 gallon pot still with a small thumper ½ full of mango. Took my time getting up to temp and tossed the first ½ pint, never got above 200f tails were about 35%. Watch your videos before I did anything. Couldn’t have done it without you! Mash was 5 lb fresh mango pulp 4 Lb sugar, water to make 4 gal. It took 7 days to ferment in about 80f Keep up the videos. Thanks Chris
I've never commented on a video.... But this sounded so good... I made a couple trial batches for a wedding and reception that I'm going to... People loved it.... I made five gallons for the wedding and reception.... it went over extremely well... Great recipe.... TY
I was literally looking at making some peach liqueur this afternoon! And as Peach can be a very subtle flavour, I wondering which way to go about it. After seeing this, I’m now taking notes! 😂 Thanks for the video.
I just ran off a batch last night that turned a bit foggy on me and I was wondering what I was going to do with it and now I know Peach Cobbler time it is thanks again Cyrus
Thanks for the reply yesterday.. I added some peach that I had left o et to the watermelon and reran it today and it came out great. I was afraid that I was gonna just have to throw the watermelon away. Thanks
Awesome! I have made apple pie with some homemade shine and now I will need to try this one. Really enjoying the bluegrass music that you have chosin for the vids. I am a HUGE fan of bluegrass and it seems so fitting in this instance. Great choice.
I just recently learned this from my wife that being there are two different measurements when it comes to cooking which applies to what you’re doing here in this video. There is a dry measuring cup/spoon and liquid measuring cup/spoon. Noticed a difference in taste when making my apple pie moonshine using the correct measuring utensils. Just thought Id put it out there.
That looks good too man.i use pure vanilla with my dark Karo sugar wash with molasses and it always comes out good I can't wait to hear how your mixed fruit recipe comes out from last video with the natural yeast. But as always good show .👍
And I have not forgotten you're very generous offer to help me with the things that we had discussed a few days back. Please believe that it's not a lack of wanting to do so to get back to you and discuss things. It has simply been a lack of time to be able to do so. Thanks again
Very cool , be perfect for making cocktails or garbage can punch with during our summer . Do you use glycerin at all or dose a simple syrup do the same job ?
@@StillnTheClear cool I just saw George from barley and hops talking about it and I just did some tasting, I don't think I am using enough oak to get the roundness I am arfter . I'll try adding some simple syrup see what it's like
@@StillnTheClear in our house mama is the chef but I’m the mixologist and shine expert! Lol she likes it light and I like a kick . I always have to find the happy medium! Lol
I absolutely love that you call your significant other if that's who she is Mama as it is that I call my wonderful beautiful fiance Mama as well we get some weird looks out in public when I call her mama and she calls me Daddy but it's more so from our constantly being surrounded by children is that we refer to in another as Mommy and Daddy to the children and it just kind of sticks that that's who that is hahaha I love it
Howdy Cyrus. So as it is that I haven't gotten any time to do any conversing back and forth with you I have in the meantime though got a couple other things done. One of which is I was talking to my dad and he brought to my attention jokingly that I had quite the collection of Court jars and while what was in him wasn't horrible it just wasn't quite up to par for our standards for one reason or another. Well we got to Counting and collecting and realized we had about 3 gallons all together of a hodgepodge of Brandy's rum and Bourbons of different assortments so what we did was ran all of it through a 200 micron filter into one Collective container and invested in some peach mango juice because I couldn't find any just flat peach juice. And a few bags of frozen peaches. We ran the collected hodgepodge through that juice and peaches with about 2/3 of a quart of good 120 liquor mixed with a gallon of what was the juice and peaches in the thumper and ended up with about just short of a gallon of really yummy . For whatever reason it's not very strong. I'm not sure how strong it is as it is that I accidentally broke my hydrometer tube and I'm waiting on my new one to come. But as best I can figure it all ended up being about 120 if that collectively at one gallon from the 3 gallons that was there originally. Now what I've done is collected the back set from the thumper. And I'm planning on making a simple syrup like you did in this video from that back set. And then mixing it back with that gallon that came from the Run I will let you know how she turns out. (May our hair stay long forever and a song and may we both Shine On until the day we are gone). What a trip that just came to me out of nowhere lol.
Did I miss how many peaches you peel and wedge? Going to make this today. 🙂 So you left the peaches in there for 6months? "She will tell me what to do" I bet that happens every once in a while. 🤣
So if I am calculating right your Peach Cobbler is about 17 proof. Is that right? 1500 ml of 0% and 250 ml of 60% = 8.61% or 17.22 proof is that right? I guess you could say it was less than 1550 because of the peaches raising the volume but seems like the peaches may also absorb some alcohol. So maybe the amount of peach liquid is closer to 1300ml and 250 ml for 19.42 proof. But how much of that will be absorbed by the peaches? Who knows. 🤣
@@StillnTheClear gotchya...I thought maybe you just didn’t drink (I really don’t drink..I do taste as I make etc etc..but other than that I don’t drink lol, I get a kick out of making it) but then I saw you take that big swallow at the end of the vid 😂. I ha e done this recipe, it does turn out great...a SPLASH of whipped creame vodka takes it to a whole other level too

You bet.
I made some and everyone loved it. Need some other recipes from Ms Windsong.
For sure, I'll try to get some more Windsong recipe videos made.
I love your title, this is my first time on your channel, love it
Glad you enjoy it!

How did it turn out? I'm looking to do the same.

Making a batch as we speak. Got anymore we can try? Tell Windsong thanks

No worries.
Do you refrigerate for a longer term maceration or leave out at room temp ??
Does it need to be Refrigerated or store room temp
I prefer room temp.
I see the small amount a Vanilla extract in a few of the recipes, is it for flavor or ?
Can you run the mixture in the thumper to keep it clear with the same taste?
No. It will not have the same taste. There is a big difference in distilled flavoring and post flavoring.
Very cool , be perfect for making cocktails or garbage can punch with during our summer .
Do you use glycerin at all or dose a simple syrup do the same job ?
I've never used glycerin.
@@StillnTheClear cool I just saw George from barley and hops talking about it and I just did some tasting, I don't think I am using enough oak to get the roundness I am arfter . I'll try adding some simple syrup see what it's like
Getting the “ bosses” opinion is Always best! Lol
Oh man, my pallet is not very sensitive. Hers is sharp as a tac.
@@StillnTheClear in our house mama is the chef but I’m the mixologist and shine expert! Lol she likes it light and I like a kick . I always have to find the happy medium! Lol
@@staceymiller4765 I get that, maybe mix 2 jars at a time. One to your liking and one to hers. Lol
I absolutely love that you call your significant other if that's who she is Mama as it is that I call my wonderful beautiful fiance Mama as well we get some weird looks out in public when I call her mama and she calls me Daddy but it's more so from our constantly being surrounded by children is that we refer to in another as Mommy and Daddy to the children and it just kind of sticks that that's who that is hahaha I love it
Yes, Windsong, as she's known as in the moonshine community, is the wife.
what did you use for you base shine, was it a vodka or bourbon,?
It was whiskey made with the Super Simple Beginner Recipe.
Will this work using everclear instead of moonshine?
Yes it will
@StillnTheClear ok. One more question. If I'm gonna leave that sit for 6 months does it need refrigerated?
@@chrispalmer9802 it doesn't have to be refrigerated, but some people prefer to refrigerated.

That is awesome.
I love the toast!
Tried to join the group but, it wouldn’t take the code that was sent. Guess I bee it somewhere.
Just curious is that made with a peach brandy or neutral spirit?
That is made with 120 proof whiskey. That batch of whiskey is the Super Simple Beginner Recipe.
How many peaches did you use there? Looks like maybe 4?
Just 1 big peach.
Leave the fruit in it for 6 months?
Yes. With peaches anyway. Some fruit you can't.
Did I miss how many peaches you peel and wedge? Going to make this today. 🙂 So you left the peaches in there for 6months? "She will tell me what to do" I bet that happens every once in a while. 🤣
That is 1 peach.
Every now and then, she'll tell me what to do. 🤣

Yeah, it usually comes out around 20, but I don't track it mostly. Mama makes it and I like it.
Question...why don’t you do the tasting?
Windsong's taste buds are much more sensitive than mine. Her pallet is more complex than mine so she can dial in the flavors better.
@@StillnTheClear gotchya...I thought maybe you just didn’t drink (I really don’t drink..I do taste as I make etc etc..but other than that I don’t drink lol, I get a kick out of making it) but then I saw you take that big swallow at the end of the vid 😂.
