      Two takeaways-
      I need to keep better notes on bottles. I do now (better than Jesse!) but not always good enough to tell me what I did 3-4 years in the past.
      Next, YES! We all need better info on aging, the real results seen over time.

    Re:Cloudiness/Residue
    I'm just a chemist, not super deep into distilling, but I wanted to take a crack at the residue mystery. I'm guessing that as the ABV goes down, certain organics will fall out of solution. This is the most likely cause of your cloudiness, especially since those small jars are likely to lose ABV faster than large containers (the volume of the liquid compared to the area of the opening, plus headspace stuff). You can see a similar idea happening intentionally with things like absinthe louching; as water is added to dilute it, the oils that give it flavor fall out into a suspension. Because that's done rapidly, it forms extremely tiny droplets that make a very stable emulsion (although you can break it by freezing it; the resulting unemulsified absinthe is really weird and has a totally different mouthfeel). Because the ABV is lost slowly, things are able to crystallize and properly fall out of solution.
    We use this idea intentionally in chemistry which is why I thought of it! It's called recrystallization. Usually we do it with heat rather than solvent evaporation because we want timescales of minutes, not months, but the idea is the same. The solvent changes characteristics, and so the solute falls out of solution.

  • @professionalrookie8771
    @professionalrookie8771 Рік тому +10

    Yes more of this would be mint. Also watching this makes me think you may need to form some jar stickers that prompt you to record all the details for future Jesse to know what he's tasting lol. How about a clean out mini still distill for the stuff you don't want to bottle but to good to throw away that wouldn't go well in yhe faints keg? Call it Like a spring clean spirit 😅

  • @itatane
    @itatane Рік тому +9

    Jesse, could you conceivably use the ones that are intense, but not quite right as a Paxarette style treatment for casks? (Put it in a barrel, let it soak and then put something else in.) It might be interesting to see how that can steer a flavor profile, especially for something that might be lackluster or boring.

  • @charliepenny2011
    @charliepenny2011 Рік тому +1

    The esters of citric acid are flavourless and odourless, but will still shift your acid+alcohol : ester+water equilibrium so by adding it you're actually impeding the kind of esterification that you do want.

    I've been here, for just one year. Last Christmas holidays I looked at your videos for 14 days strait, with my wife slapping me, got home, bought a copper stil, and destilling, and having fun while doing it. Now I'm with a friend on our path doing whisky and loving it ! BUT YOU JESSI thought me to do it, and I watched all the videos , OF CURSE I WANT YOU TO TASTE ALLE YOU MAKED, AND GIVE US THE EXPERIENCE YOU MADE :) THANK YOU FROM DENMARK!

    As my wife and I are looking to start distilling very soon, we would be very interested in the recipes for these.
    You could make another series out of revisiting these old experiments of yours and detailing how you got them to where they are and your advice on how to go about improving them.

  • @TheInfinityzeN
    @TheInfinityzeN Рік тому

    Those little jars would be great for blending. You need to filter, bottle up in proper small bottles and make up a flavor/scent note card for them. They would serve as something you could add a little bit of to round out or fill in another spirit. I have several dozen small bottles that had interesting flavors which I use for blending. The key is building a proper note card for each one so that you know what they will add. Things that have one incredibly intense flavor/smell (even if they have lots of weaker ones) are great for adding that flavor/smell to a blend since you only want to use a small amount.
    Blending is how you get the best result and to do it effectively you need lots of different things to use.
    EDIT: For many I use the 4oz amber or cobalt glass bottles with a PET dropper lids that are rated for high proof. Easiest way to be sure is to get ones that are lab rated, which will cost a little more.

Jesse could you add a ranking of the ones you try so we viewers could go look up the most successful recipes? Aside from what you want to keep, which would you sell, if you were licensed to? BTW, would you add time stamps to your videos please?

    Sad to see the mamajuana tossed! If it's just because it's way too strong, you could always dilute it by mixing 1 part mamajuana to 2 parts red wine, 1 part rum, and honey to taste. It should keep reasonably well as long as the ABV is above about 20%.

    @stillit - Re: Citric acid. Yes it could be a natural acid in your maturing product. Industrially it's produced by using the same black mold that we make a ton of other organic acids with. Aspergillus is found everywhere and on everything and quite tolerant of alcohol. So yeah the complex biome on a barrel storing wine or spirit is quite likely getting natural esterification precursors from the wood rotting.
