    On my first try, I followed the recipe as a 40L batch. It took almost 2 weeks for it to dry out, and the wort smelled delicious! I strained it (but did not settle & clarify) and there was *some* scorching. After a rapid stripping run and much slower spirit run using the thumper, I collected about 2L of heads/tails and 1.5L of an exceptionally sweet and subtly raisin bread flavored (albeit hot) 155 proof vodka.
    I'm currently fermenting a new 60L batch at a more stable 29C with an additional 2.5kg granulated sugar and 15g fermaidK added at 1.010 for an ABV boost. This batch will be strained, racked, cold-settled, and racked again into the boiler as a translucent liquid to minimize scorched off-flavors. The feints from the first batch will be added to the new stripping run.

      I'd like to know what the impact would be also. No mash mean no conversion of oat and wheat sugars. Seems a bit of a waste. Would require several kilos of malted barley for diastatic power though. I suspect it's breaking the mantra of keep it simple stupid.

    Nice video. I am always curious has to your yields. How much final product? ABV? What ABV did you cut it off at with the tails. I only run a pot still so would be interesting to have those numbers to compare if I try that recipe. Also, I noticed that you did not use any nutrients with that much sugar. Does Angel yeast provide the needed nutrients with a sugar wash? And how long do you keep that much yeast in the refrigerator. I live in the US and have not found a source for a smaller Angel yeast packet. Sorry, too many questions.

    Mmm... this looks yummy!
    It's a bit like Ted's Fast Fermenting Vodka recipe, which is my normal go-to recipe for a nice neutral spirit, but with the oats and wheat instead of bran, and the raisins as well. I guess no need for DAP when you have all this actual nutrient...
    And double the sugar too... I like the idea of a higher end ABV, so I might pick up some of that Red Label Angel Yeast instead of my usual Saf Instant Bakers' Yeast - which does work pretty well, & gives a good end product, but I wouldn't like to push it that far!

    Hi Jesse!
    I'm totally new to the field since I'm a craft beer guy, so is my girlfriend, but she is getting into gin stuff nowadays and I want to make her a surprise homemade gin.
    So the theory is:
    I would make the basinc gin as your recipe, but want to use hibiscur and amarillo hops to have a beer-like aftertaste and the juicy tase of the hopps.
    So my question is: should I exclude anything from the base recipe, how much of hibiscus petals should I use and if not dryhopping, how should I include the amarillo, make the gin ready dune, take out some of it, put the pellett into it and after like 5-6 hours filter it back into the done gin?
    Thank you if you can answer, your videos gave me a more than perfect start to make this happen, and I would serve it when proposing to her!:)

      Yield is equipment and process dependent.
      At a rough guesstimate. He ran the still for ~9h. Let’s say 8:50, let’s also guess it took 50 mins to get still warm. Let’s also guess that his drip rate is 1L/h (not unreasonable)
      8L at 93%
      Fores cut ~200ml
      Heads cut schooner and a bit ~800ml
      Tails cut unsure maybe 700ml
      6.3L 93% diluted to 50%
      (93-50)x6.3=5.42 (water to add)
      Total = 11.72 L
      Theoretical possible total yield at 50% abv of 11.5% of 90L (trub loss?) is 20.7 L. Guesstimate hearts cut of this is 57%.
      Total collected run is 8L, but at 50% is 14.88L. So % of equivalent run is (everything diluted to 50%)
      F: 2.5% (370ml)
      H: 10% (1.49 L
      Hearts: 78.76% (11.72 L)
      Tails: 8.74% (1.3 L)
      11.72 L looks about right for that pot size 😊 but YMMV or my maths could be off 🤣

    Hi, Jesse! I have a question. I understand it has an easy answer, and I suspect you'll be tempted to just dismiss it and say "fuck you, make your own, that's what this channel is about", but STILL (...see what I did there 😉)...
    Is there a brand of vodka that you can buy where you go "ok, I am shooting for this" or "ok this is almost as good as what I make myself" - i.e. if I like good vodka, but I don't have the ability to still at this point, are there brands of vodka that you like?
    I have a couple of local Swedish brands, I DON'T like Absolut, I definitely like Finlandia and Smirnoff is... Ok. Stoli exists in a couple of different varieties, but the "regular" version is about as clean and smooth as Smirnoff, I'd say.
    Any tips, any thoughts on store-bought vodka?

      @yerrysherry135 Рік тому

      From a Dutch language forum:
      You can easily make vodka by first mashing rye and barley malt. This lets you ferment with a neutral yeast
      Sufficient food is present in the converted malts.
      So NO further additions.
      After fermentation min 3 x but up to 5 x again.
      You can also ;
      Use 1 part malt + 4 parts rye and mash this.
      Or
      1 part malt + 4 parts potato.
      Nutrition beans or soybeans.
      then you can also boil potatoes until puree then freeze ...
      After freezing, thaw and add some beans and yeast.
      Sugar alcohol is not vodka!

      Mr Beast has tens of millions of subscribers and has more money than he knows what to do with. Jesse pours his heart into what he is doing and values every single person who supports him, so yes he thanks the people on patreon who help make it possible for him to do what he does, you ungrateful twat. NOTE: I am not a Patreon subscriber I just enjoy his channel, and I too thank the people that support him and make it possible for him to do what he loves with heartfelt gratitude......again, you ungrateful twat.
