I was thinking that I could give freeze dried gifts for family, I already give gifts from the farm so this will elevate gift giving. Thank you so much for sharing! Wendy🙏🏻🇺🇸🌎
Thanks for the video. I am on my 2nd batch of FD eggnog for the families. It's always a treat for everyone and everyone eats it like candy nobody rehydrates it. Our holiday time eggnog we drink is mixed Butterscotch Schnapps. Merry Christmas Everyone
Home-made eggnog is SO much tastier than the store-bought stuff. Wonder if it will freeze dry as well as the commercial stuff. Guess it's time to whip up a batch or two and find out.
Found your channel over or round year ago. Have dreamed of a freeze dryer ever since. Still saving and hopefully will be able to get one. Til then, still watching and learning. Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
for those chocolate cherries try doing same thing but make sure to freeze them really well than do candies because it does not work with normal freeze drying and maybe it will work with candy mode. :)
Do you think that 2 of these sized try’s would fit in 1 tray of the xl?? They seem soo much more manageable I need to cut my trays in half and get kids lol.
Morning Brian! I've heard that doing half milk half egg nog works better, have you tried that, especially if you don't rehydrate and eat them freeze-dried? Maybe adding crushed pepermint on bottom?
We just got our freeze dryer delivered, like 10 minutes ago. I was curious what is the black bag you put on before a freeze drying cycle. I see it in your videos but can't find it on your website, or the harvest right site.
Question? You mentioned that we can’t freeze dry WHISKEY, because the freezing point of whiskey is colder than the freeze drier goes, BUT, what if we placed say a shot of whiskey into a portioned silicone mold and froze it with dry ice ( -109 degrees ). It would be colder than the freeze drier and wouldn’t it freeze dry as the dryer proceeded thru the process?
hello im using a different freeze dryer brand ,name lanphan and it requires to fill out the temperature for each time stamp and Im really struggling because im trying to freezedry some candies and it doesn’t puff up like urs so im wondering if you can help me out because i spent nearly all my saving on this freeze dryer😭
Brian I think you need to take that bottle of Jack Daniels back - it very clearly has a leak as it was FULL at the start of the video and not so full by the time you were about to remove a shot for the egg nog....it is just so hard to get good quality glass these days isn't it????? ;););) Also I need that lovely green funnel too please :) xxx
The freeze dried peanut brittle is so good!
Where do you get that amazing green funnel?
I really like the funnel you used and I saw a stack of them on your counter. Imagine my surprise not to find them on your Freeze Drying Supplies site!
Okay, I’m in for the eggnog and M&M’s!! If forced , I’d also enjoy the peanut brittle!! Good stuff!!
Thank you so much for taking one (or two) for the team on those egg nog drinks! 😊 ~Sharon from Florida
My pleasure!
OMG. That funnel looks amazing. Thanks for trying these candies so we know what works.

Where did you get the big green food funnel?
It will be available mid to late January
Great idea... thanks and God bless you... Merry Christmas
freeze cherries prior to cutting, then use silicone mat to dial down temp transfer on candies. Might work better
Merry Christmas
God bless 🙏🙏🙏

Merry Christmas. Is it on your santa wish list?
Good stuff! Cheers.
Morning y’all
I love eggnog!

I really need that big funnel. Is that a new product that you are going to sell soon? It's the same color as the tray dividers. Here's hoping!!!
Yep. They should be ready in about a month
Since peanuts don't FD, how did they do in the peanut brittle?
How long can that last
Morning Brian!

I mixed milk w my eggnog and it turned out great.
I've had good luck with Aldi (Kemp's) Eggnog in silicone trays.

From my secret vault. Just kidding. We will have them in about a month.
@@thefreezedryingcommunity thank you. And I hope you have a secret vault!

The process will remove the alcohol

Not sure where it leaked, ill have to investigate. Funnels are being made as we speak. They should be available mid to late January.
@@thefreezedryingcommunity lol
Which Avid Armor do you recommend? I’m thinking about getting one when I get my freeze dryer and they have multiple models.
I use the USV 32. If you type in LIVELIFESIMPLE in the promo code at checkout, they will give you 10% off
@@thefreezedryingcommunity thank you so much!!
I did those m&m yesterday they don’t blow up much. Rather mine didn’t
hello, I am wondering, ... What would happen if you added 1 part whiskey to 2 parts eggnog ~ Then Freeze dried with the Whiskey ?
The whiskey will freeze dry but will remove the alcohol
not sure if anyone can help me but my vacuum pump pressure is going down to 12. what can i do thanks chris
The interesting thing is that those cherries aren't liquid when they come from the factory.
Where can I purchase the door pillow?
There is a lady that sells them on our Facebook group
I got mine from a lady on Etsy that makes them. Really good fit!
IDK, it may be the same lady as the one on the fb group.
Why are you freeze drying the eggnog? I’d just poor it into the Jack. I don’t get it. And I love freeze drying.
I tried egg nog rehydrated with milk and water. Milk was better
I just didn't see the point of rehydrating milk with milk
Wait the candy only took 2hours?? Thought candy took forever
