  • At 138 proof / 69% this is the world's strongest beer! Granted we did cheat with the distilling/fortification. But this turned out pretty dang good all things considered. At the very least its a solid concept that could be explored at much more reasonable alcohol levels.
    A huge thanks to @ClawhammerSupply for making the trip and helping me out! Make sure to check their youtube channel out.

      Just give up when the stuff is already race car fuel.
      INSTEAD: Work on the base concept and make a, say, 40% ABV fortified beer, fortified from it's own stock, that works really damn well. The concept is interesting as hell. It blends whiskey and beer concepts perfectly.
      I know IPAs is all the rage these days, but I'd like to see this done as a classic pilsner style lager.

    It's all a grey area, that's for sure.
    Removing the water from beer by freeze distillation is, IMO, stretching the definition of "Beer", but barrel aging exists so...
    However, I recon distillation that collects the alcohol and some flavour does cross the line.
    But I'm on the fence with fortified beers like Mikkeller's Black Fist, even if the fortification was with what used to be beer.

    A beer is considered as one as long as it stays within it's natural gazeification, wich cryodistillation is (that's even an old type called "Eisbeir", or "Eisbeer" meaning "Ice-beer"). Boiling distillation, A Contrario, is not. And actually, Snake Venom (also called "Fake Venom") is not cryo distilled, it seems, but ethanol added, just like you did.

  • @nolansykinsley3734
    @nolansykinsley3734 Місяць тому

    There are lots of people in the US that say "freeze distilling" is legal but it isn't. The FTB (Franchise Tax Board) defines a "distiller" as anyone who removes the non alcohol portion of an alcohol solution BY ANY MEANS. So by freeze distilling you are classified as a distiller and can be subject licensing and taxes on what you produce, even for personal consumption.

    Nice experiment! Oh and BTW 77 is way better than 69 as you get 8 more! Cheers! 😂😁

    Nice video, personally the separation of the voices on the right and left was a bit much, if you have more people with you then adjust it down. For us headphone users, it was difficult to watch the video to the end.

    It is no longer a beer if you de-still it. If you believe this is wrong please provide a reference to a definition which states a beer can be de-stilled and still be considered a "beer".
