I just love exploring the process thru your eyes. I have a suggestion. A video making an absinthe. I've heard peerless distillery made one with a corn liquor base. An idea of my own idea is to use a carrot liquor base to impart a natural sweetness. These are not traditional recipes however
Interesting and technically informative video as usual. This was a tedious and laborious process in making Purple Mulberry Gin Liqueur. A lot of heavy lifting and scientific works. Miss Brewbird you are lucky to have the help of David. Since there was so much work involved. I bet the end product tasted good. Love to try it myself. Good luck.
Hello! My spanish isn't very good, and I'm not sure which plastic piece you are talking about. There are a few plastic pieces. Could you be more specific?
To rejuvenate it, it gets pretty dirty after each distillation. It isn't so bad when NGS is being distilled, but if it is a wash, then the copper turns black after the distillation.
Thanks! The mulberries leave behind tiny traces of solids inside the gin after steeping, so I think that is why we decided to measure the %abv the way we do.
The issue is caused by there being more than just alcohol and water as the sugar (and other chemicals) in solution alters the density weight and refractive index. So it’s impossible to know if it’s the alcohol or the other things in solution altering the readings By distillation you are left with a mix of only water and alcohol (trace volatiles) Use this to calculate volume alcohol in sample Studied chemistry at university
There is still methanol present in 96%NGS, so it is better to be safe than sorry and do a foreshots cut (Source: My friend who is a Masters of Distilling student at Heriot-Watt University)
Very interesting about redistilling to calculate abv. Cool
Thanks Miss Brewbird for your video ! Love it
😊
Excellent video I think it must be very tasty
Good video. Thanks for sharing valuable information.
My pleasure!

Nice, I just started working at a distillery that makes absinthe. I am hoping to be able to film the process sometime soon in the future.
Awesome video,Very interesting process to watch the journey of your product,thank you
Glad you enjoyed it

Fun intro, and video. I have no idea how brewing works, but you guys make it look fun (also looks like A LOT of work!).
Thanks for stopping by, yeah that intro is one of my favourites so far.
If I'm ever in Avon, I know exactly where I want to visit! This sounds pretty tasty
My boss will love reading this comment
Hola! Saludos desde Bariloche Argentina. Que es ese material que parece plástico? Lo lavas en cada destilación? Se usa como filtro? Gracias!

@@MissBrewbird Hola! En el minuto 2:13. Que es eso?
That is copper. Yes I wash it after every distillation. Copper helps reduce any unwanted sulphur compounds.
Random I just picked up some and was going to make a batch tomorrow. Lol
Yeah, mulberries definitely aren't that popular these days
I’m surprised the squeezing of last bits of juice is done by hand squeezed and resting rather than something like a simple apple cider press
We do have a hydraulic fruit press, but I think we want to avoid getting too many solids in the gin liqueur.
Why do you clean the copper packing after each run?
To rejuvenate it, it gets pretty dirty after each distillation. It isn't so bad when NGS is being distilled, but if it is a wash, then the copper turns black after the distillation.
A small fruit press would get the last bit out of the fruit.
I was gonna suggest a magnet to recover the hook in future but don’t know what electronics could be effected by it. So that’s a bad idea
Could you have measured the alcohol by weight instead?
Great video.

Look at using a carabiner or two

ahh you got me there
@@MissBrewbird got your haggis for tonight?
Just cause you don’t live up here anymore doesn’t mean you can get away from it!
I actually really like haggis, but no I had paella last night.
Im literally 15 miles or so from you guys tomorrow. Damn you covid./
If it makes you feel better, we are closed today anyways.
With 96% alcohol there are not foreshots
