A moonshine, made from a soda, named after moonshine? We've come full circle!
Exactly what I was thinking 🤣
It's the circle. Circle of Life. 🤣
Apparently Mountain Dew was made initially as a moonshine mixer, so it's recursive on multiple levels.
Dewception
when summit is out of weed
Lab report on a sample of Mountain Dew: "Your horse has diabetes."
nice
I got one on a case of Rolling Rock: "Your horse is an alcoholic and you've got foals on the way."
Lightning Dew. A blend between white lightning and mountain dew. Reminds me of the old White Lightning song lyrics:
"I asked my ol' pappy why he called his brew,
White lightning 'stead of mountain dew,
I took one swig and right away I knew,
As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue"
As a Canadian….I just want to say God bless America and thank you for the scientific discoveries you continue to make
Since you're canadian, look in to acquiring some Dr. Enuf, made by the same guys who helped to make Dew more than just regional. Good stuff
Since y'all learn a lot from us as friendly as I can I'll say the God in your bible is Ba'al and you can thank the vatican for that because the little horn of Daniel vatican rewrote the modern KJV and wrote the quran giving us a one world religion and they changed the name of our Father Yehovah to God meaning Ba'al so when you say God bless He hears Ba'al bless.
@@radroofer SHUT UP. Praise the All-Father fahker
Glad we could contribute this important breakthrough to humanity .
😅😅😅😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
Thanks for hosting us, Jesse! New Zealand is amazing and hanging with you and the fam was a ton of fun! 10 days wasn’t long enough. So we’ll be back… Next week too soon?
Hell yeah, let's do it again! Had a blast hanging out and filming miss you lot!
Those plates are pretty cool, and a very reasonable price from your website. But they're 1.5 inch right? Could you fit them on Jesse's Pure Distilling or T500 setup?
@@bilz0r yup 1.5 inch ferrules. You could definitely. But you would need to either DIY or get a conversion kit to put ferrules onto the pot.
Also really need manual power control for the pot. But that's not too hard to DIY.
When I started brewing and distilling these were my 2 go to channels, pretty awesome to see you together again 🎉
@@StillIt I did nearly this same thing with Redbull. It tasted like rocket fuel. We called it Reactor #4 after the Chernobyl accident and only found it tolerable mixed with cream soda. Cheers mate.
DEWSHINE should be the name. Like Moonshine, but with Mt Dew. Do Dr Pepper next!
Mountain dew is an old slang word used by Appalachian moonshiners back in the day.
Mountain Shine?
That's what moonshine went by was mountain dew back in 1850's that's where the names root come from.
.....dewshine was an actual flavor of mntdew
Dewshine is precisely what I thought while watching this video as well!
So, bleed a green ice pop into everclear and skip steps 2 through 32. Brilliant lads!
Everclear tastes bad tho just the shit its made with
Just dilute the everclear in mountain dew. Something I used to "dew" in my younger and dumber years. Spent a good part of my first leave block after turning 21 doing exactly that; ~3/4" of EC in a slushie cup and the rest is MD. Sit and sip and play far cry while my best bud was at work 👌
then redistill the everclear and add fresh peaches to your second thump keg. tht where all your excellent flavors comes from
just add your favorite flavors of sweetened kool-aid packs straight in to the everclear bottle or yu can even desolve a full bag of worthers candy's in the ever cLear and it's just as good.
ah dear, I am going to get banned for this but when he said concentrated mountain dew and subtitles read concentrated mountain Jew, oh dear. I Shouldn't laugh :/
Subtitle fails are the best😂
Das ist sehr lustig.
Mein Freund.
Neither should I! 😅
love it when the word is beast or pennies
Ich verstehe den Witz nicht.
There was a guy who makes mead on Instagram and he just made a Mountain Dew Mead. He said basically the same thing you guys are saying in regard to tasting notes. Also, I've found a great method for flattening soda is freezing it all the way and then thawing it out because the CO2 stays suspended in liquid but separates in a solid so when you thaw it out, the gas escapes.
Oh goldenhive? I see his yt shorts a lot
True
It's you! @@goldenhivemead
@@goldenhivemead AYO!
Wait you guys WANT flat soda? What the fuck?
Something like this should be labeled as candy brandy
I mean the mountain dew is pretty much liquid candy.
Yes please
Ooh. I could go for some brandy candy
Mountain dew brew
I say name it" You can deeeewwwww it"😂
I'm a Dew-head from waaaaaayyyyy back. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing something this awesome! Appreciated the video from start to end.
On behalf of Mountain Dew we are sincerely sorry you're a type 2 Diabetic
Look for Sun-Drop it's far superior to Mountain Dew plus it mixes well with George Dickle sour mash whiskey it's from North Carolina Sun-Drop
Mountain Dew - based on origins...the fresh dew in the morning on a mountainside...vigor, refreshing. The dew itself is condensed drops of water... Moonshine...condensed alcohol... If we have condensed both into one then all thats left is "The Shining"
come drink with us
Gets my name vote
"its consistently about 0.5 too low" "lets ballpark it"- Made me laugh logarithmicly
Done the Dew is the best name. Do the Dew boys!
it does add up
Honestly, Double Dewty is a great name
Nah they said it once . Mountain doo doo
Purple Pineapple
I remember being in Nelson hospital after a bike versus car incident, on the second day I got up, limped to the "lovely" toilets and had a leak, I was pretty out of it and didn't even think twice about why my urine was pink. I asked one of the nurses later why it was pink, she said, ahh you obviously had kidney or bladder damage and WHY didn't you TELL us ! still whacked on Morphine I just smiled shrugged my shoulders and went back to lie down lol...so it wasn't the mountain dew that I was drinking lol...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mental note: pink pee = bad
....✍👍
i love that stainless fermenter. back when i used to brew and distill i just used that naff, seemingly ubiquitous translucent white plastic tub. it got the job done but with no frills and with the low down tap you didn't have to worry about sediment - made racking a breeze, and really simplified saprging.
but i love watching people do it right and with *much* better equipment, which i sincerely hope shines through in the finished product.
Not 3 days ago i was searching for a video about distilling pineapple fanta... timing is impeccable, my good sir.
Ahhhhh I could see that being better than mountain dew Actually. Don't be ass hats like us. Do the pH properly hahaha
Please keep us updated if you do the Fanta!!! That sounds fooking Delicious!!
@@StillIt You should at least keep some litmus strips as a backup.
@@StillItTry making tepache
Highly recommend using pineapple jarritos instead!
From San Diego, Ca. Been distilling the Dew for awhile, we call it a Dew Wrench!!! Thanks love your show!!! Steve Ferris
I wish I could buy a pint off you
Seriously was the funniest video I’ve seen you do. I love this UA-cam channel! Probably my favorite!!
These meme spirits episodes are the most "boys will be boys" shit on youtube and I love every one
American Mountain dew has brominated vegetable oil in it. I noticed when I was serving in Iraq the mountain dew taste different and didn't have that ingredient in it.
Huh interesting! Il have to look into the difference that may make in fermentation
Doesn't contain it anymore! I drink it again now that they've removed it!
Hasn't been used since 2019
BVO has actually finally been outlawed by the FDA.
because America is allowed to poison its food. our government is evil..
Defiantly trying this one. Thank you.
Favorite book!! Great vid guys
Came for the Mountain Dew. Found swords along the way. An unexpected journey indeed!
Very interesting commentary.... if you listen
why do I get the idea that swords has something to do with peeing at summer camp?
OK, hear me out. There's an old Appalacian song my grandfather used to sing called Good Ole Mountain Dew. One line Said "the buzzards in the sky get so drunk they can't fly from smelling that good Ole mountain dew."
So I think it should be a Double Buzzard.
I know that song by the Staney Brothers, It's silimar to "White Lightin'" by George Jones, both are about moonshine.
That was a camp song at my summer camp :)
I'd try it! 🤷♂️
Your smiles said all I needed to know 🤣🤣
Well worth the watch. Thanks, gents!
It needs to be aged in oak! Mtn. Dew was originally meant to be a mixer for whiskey.
Absolutely loved this! This was an amazing idea for a video. Love that it’s doing so well!
Love this channel always something interesting 👍
Awesome DEWSUM!! LOVELY GUYS, will be keeping an eye out for next summer now 😀! Here in oz!!❤
Such a fun episode!! Looks like you guys had fun! Thanks for the vid!
Mountain doin it!
So after distilling such a abomination there is no excuse to not still Surströmming
..."That's weird but this tastes like mountain dew."
There's just one thing that I think COULD still be used as an excuse.
They don't want to break the Geneva Conventions.....because that's a f**king war crime you're talking about there.
I have this hunch that getting your equipment cleaned after Mountain Dew is doable, but cleaning it after Surströmming is absolutely not.
I liked and hearted this comment. Then I got curious and googled it.
I am considering taking it all back haha. Fish in a can is against my religion I think.
@@StillIt That's not just ANY fish in a can, either. That stuff is _legendary_ for the stench.
Not sure I would wanna drink this… but I had a good laugh watching you guys! Thanks!!! 😂
Nicely done boys!! Back in the 90s, we mixed Mtn Dew & Vodka and for some reason named it the Green Jesus.
Not only was it a fun drink to bring along when skating, it doubled as 'better than water' to use in our bongs. 🤘🤣
We have another soda out here called Cheerwine. It's NC original cherry flavored soda that tastes different from the others.
I did that one last year. I live in salisbury where cheerwine is made. Expensive tho. Box of syrup from the factory cost me $150.
I hadn't thought about Cheerwine in a while, but suddenly i'm really missing the stuff from the other side of the Atlantic. Not sure about distilled, though. ;)
@@jadsel it just makes a basic vodka with a touch of very light back cherry aroma.
Or sundrop
"No pretty way to do this" is so true. I dumped dozens of gallons of Mt. Dew on my first day working at Pepsi. The bottles weren't full and the radioactive detector kicked them into the reject sink.
I mostly stabbed the bottles with my pocket knife because it was faster and easier than taking the caps off. My hands were dyed yellow for days.
Radioactive detector? May I ask kindly,as a fellow food industry worker but in cheese. Why in the name of the gods is their a radiation detector for mt. Dew..
Glad I don't drink soda 😂😂
@@Capoe3 somebody tell him
Bromine isotopes? Or was the detector a sort of 'sounding device' for detecting foreign matter?
@@Capoe3because it's literally poison 😅
oh! and super love the copper air locks.
When I was in college (50 years ago) we drank quite a few “B & L specials”. 4 ice cubes in a tall 16 oz (Pepsi) glass, add Canadian whisky to float the ice well, then finish with 10 oz of cold Mt Dew. The girls called them “Lemon Drops”. They go down real easy.
The girls or the lemon drops?
@@johnturtle6649 I have to say the Lemon Drops. I married one of the girls.
@@rimrock53 Good for you, I was just making a crude joke but seriously I hope you two have many happy years together.
I've never wanted to try a flavor so much in my life. That's gotta' be great! Hope to see this in my liqour store soon👍🏼
Haha, are there commercial distillers crazy enough to make a run of this?
@@StillIt I sure hope so!🫡
Nice to see this collab with @clawhammersupply. Really like both channels as a hobby brewer and distiller. Learned a lot from you guys. All supported by the Dutch Amstel bier. It's all in the detail😂. Greetings from the Netherlands. ❤
even better , the Dutch Amstel Bier crate has traveled to down under and is now presented to us upside-down 🤣
@@tomvrancken6489 Sharp thought 😉😂
Very cool. Thanks!🥃
I am absolutly gonna feed my alcohol addiction because of your channel.
On the cheap.
Thank you from the bottom of my still beating heart.
I cant wait till this obsession kills me.
How about calling it - MOUNTAIN DON"T?
YAAS
Mountain Don't Never
from what I researched, Yes Moutain Dew can ferment if you increase it's acidity PH by like 1 the preservative used to keep it from fermenting no longer works at least that is what works for Mead
Would love to have a bottle of the new dew ! Sounds ds amazing !!
Great collaboration Jesse! Mountain Dew is a number one seller here in Georgia! Beat people would go crazy for this.
Got any crazy craft distilleries there ? haha
Stirring with the knife was elite behavior
I loved your attempt. I'm sure it was an interesting taste. If no one has mentioned this yet. Mt Dew makes a Hard MtDew which I love drinking. It comes in several flavors and its 5%ABV. They also make a Hard Monster which is good.
LMFAO you guys are great, not that I would try it as I tend to blow things up but an awesome video to watch, thanks for sharing
when you consider that mountain dew was originally created to be mixed with moonshine it start to makes sense
Very true. I didnt learn that until I was almost done editing this video. Wish I knew sooner.
I came to say this!
cheers boss!@@deathbagel
I’m just so proud of NZ for importing the Dew regularly
0:55 Most real answer ever hahahhahahha "Tastes like diabities" 10/10
“Dew done right”
As soon as you said "Double Dewdy," I knew I had just witnessed brilliance. THAT should be the cocktail's name.
I want some now... Good video
Mt Dew Liqueur --> Mundu Liqueur
Reasoning: it sounds good and it's on point. If you are slurring, MountDew sounds like Mundu
I just didn't like the name DewShine, so I wanted to come up with a better name. With inspiration of some Off Brands, I came up with some alternatives: Mountain Concentrate, Pure Dew, Dew Spirit, and Distilled Cloud (As dew ponds are also called Cloud Ponds).
Off Brands of Mountain Dew
Mountain Lightning (Great Value @ Walmart)
Mountain Rush (Shasta from Bargain and Wholesale markets)
Mountain Breezee (Signature Select @ Safeway/Albertsons)
Mountain Frost (Summit @ ALDI)
Moon Mist (Faygo from weird non-grocery places such as a liquidation store or small regional chain business)
They do make Hard Dew, it's sold in store in the south east of the U.S. like Florida, don't know why it's not available through out the entire U.S.
Found it in Fosston and Bagley MN, its rather flat. I would guess dew zero minus Brominated oil>
Double Dew !
As a Dew lover I would love to taste this !!!!!
This is the first distilling video I've ever watched. Seems like a somewhat more complex process than I thought it would be, but everything made sense.
Mountain dew sells Hard mountain dew out here. I think it's mountain dew in what's called a malt beverage.
I actually saw that when editing this. Kinda wish I knew about it earlier. Could have worked it into the vid somehow. Malt beverage aye? Interesting I had assumed it was more seltzer like. Cheers mate.
Dew-gooder
Literal first time watching the channel, found it randomly and I have to admit, I really f*cking enjoyed watching. Being from Scotland, we start drinking at 3 years old(and that's weirdly not a lie haha), I enjoy a drink so this was interesting. Earned a subscriber.
This video reminds me of that Asian guy on TikTok that travels back in time and tells people it's an ancient remedy to a disease and it's just Mountain Dew
LOL... Amstel Bier - beer from the Netherlands. How on earth did that got down under :)
There are these things caled ships.
Call it "Mountain ice" 😊
Hmmmm I like it! On the list of official names to consider.
If you guys are doing Mountain Dew you should go to Scotland and try it with Irn bru. Which is a sweet fizzy pop made in Scotland and generally used as a hangover pick up. Now that would be the one a hangover pickup to get tipsy on (hair of the dog and all that stuff)
Great idea, next time i brew some beer i will add some mountain Dew to the process. Using a barley malt, some bavarian hop and a ipa yeast. The last time i add 500g of mate to 35 liter mash.
Since Mountain Dew is a southern US creation, Zip-a-Dee-"Dew"-Dah from Song of the South is apropos.
DewMax or HammerDew =D
Tennessee bottlers Barney and Ally Hartman developed Mountain Dew as a mixer in the 1940s. Soft drinks were sold regionally in the 1930s, and the Hartmans had difficulty in Knoxville obtaining their preferred soda to mix with liquor, preferably whiskey, so the two developed their own.
this is a part of text of research study--> concerning the plans to disallow
home distillation of spirits in the forthcoming Finnish Diet in 1863. The research material consisted of 38 letters
published in different Finnish language newspapers during a ten‐year time period before and after the diet from 1857
to 1867. The letters were written by rural and, to a lesser extent, urban correspondents comprised by members of
different estates - farmers, noblemen, priests, and burghers.so we have a long history of alcohol use and making.
Mountain Dewbie Dew
Mountain dude
Brewing up the ‘Rare Auld Mountain Dew’!😂
Good video you guys rock
Mountain Dooze 😂
Ha 😂
Dragon Dew
Lol.. ironically, when i first started vaping, i mixed mountain dew juice with dragons blood and called it exactly this. Dragon Dew.. thats awesome 😂😂
Fantastic!
You need to call it: The 3 Dewges. Great video as always.
dewwy doo doo
It definitely tasted like diabetes.
So bad for you! Lol
Very interesting, I love science!
I bought this much MtDew when they had it on super sale. Whole shipping cart full... Didn't notice until I was walking out the door that I was wearing a Mt dew shirt!
Mountain Dew back in the 90s would start tasting like beer if left in the can for 4 months past the pull date. I got 6 free case coupons because this happened before I bought it. It also used to be made with pure cane sugar back then.
They claimed the orange juice would ferment in the cans.
I think you guys should try the same thing with either Sundrop or Cheerwine. These are 2 of western North Carolina's favorite soda drinks. I actually like Double Dewty, it's a great name!!
Maybe call it "Dew Point O".
What a crazy cool looking contraption you got there. It looks like something Dr. Frankenstein would use.
I'd absolutely buy it lol dew has always been my thing.
Nice Disc golf rack!
You can thank Knoxville, Tennessee for that amazing creation of Mountain Dew.
It used to be made with orange juice.
Loving the Ozito tools from Bunnings.
That looks fun
US citizen and lover of Mtn Dew, and by chance was in Aukland when this video dropped. I'm pretty sure the universe is a simulator for my enjoyment.
03:58 I've never seen such an epic shot of somebody pouring mountain dew.
Speaking as a man who loves Mountain Dew, I've never thought it mixed or modified well. "Dew-drivers" with vodka and MD are thin, boozy and dreadful compared to a Jack & Coke, for example. The artificial orange/lemon flavor isn't really complex enough to assert itself in a mix, and also MD is famously low in carbonation (part of why I love it). It has an absolutely UNIQUE flavor profile as they go (witness the abomination that is Great Value Mountain Thunder) but that's really more of a market choice - way more people like Sprite & 7up (which is 50/50 lemon lime instead of 75/25 orange lemon, and is also very fizzy, which I hate, but makes for a better cocktail).
have you ever tried md & tequila? a nice quervo gold ?
difference being, mix a tiny dish of salt & a tinier bit of sugar, rather than coating the lip of the glass, just have a dab in a shot glass, sip from the bev,lick your finger tip & tap the salt /sweet mix & lick your finger again, rolling the tastes together! so noice!
@@l.scales7516 I am open to the idea. The addition of salt might be what it needs.
I love that re-animator colors!
Here's an idea for a larger scale fermentation. Buy a box of Mountain Dew syrup. A five gallon bag produces roughly 30 gallons of soda. I'm also curious to know what barrel aged version of this would taste like. I work as a Distiller, I wonder if my boss would let me try this?
You guys have the good stuff there, what we call "Throw Back" because it has cane sugar.
How have I not come across this channel. I did this for a college experiment with mountain dew Baja blast
