Fermenting and Distilling Mountain Dew to Make Moonshine
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 бер 2024
- We flew all the way to New Zealand to turn Mountain Dew in to "Mountain Dew" with our friend Jesse from @StillIt! We fermented then distilled Mountain Dew in a bubble plate distiller, making white whiskey (also known as moonshine). Home distilling is illegal in the USA, but has been legal in NZ for years.

This deserves a Nobel Prize
FOR STUPIDITY !
Had a absolute blast making this with you team. What should we do next time? . . . There is going to be a next time right?
Fun times. Definitely going to have to do it again. Thanks for having us!
You do that one Yuck candy Salty licorice?
Get hold of some Irn bru 1901!!
Try black tea sprite
If y'all are still curious, Carbonic Acid has a very high boiling point of 333.6°C(632.5°F for us in the U.S.) but will likely undergo hydrolysis with water being heated in the presence of that much H20 breaking back down into H2O + CO2 ⇌ H2CO3 though the reaction may not reach complete homeostasis in more acidic conditions allowing a few molecules of carbonic to be carried up through the distillation by vapor and end up in your nearly azeotropic ethanol "Dew-Shine"🤷♂
But any that made it that far would very likely completely hydrolyze out of solution once proofed back down with clean water possibly indicated by a few extra bubbles when proofing down but other than that there shouldn't be any noticeable evidence of it left after that, so in my opinion that would be an unlikely flavor component of the final spirit👨🔬
Hope that helps satisfy the curiosity about the Carbonic Acid😅
Any other science-y intellectual curiosities' of similar nature come up in the future, please feel free to inquire with me anytime if you're really serious about satisfying the itch for learning such knowledge... I can be a surprisingly skilled and knowledgeable research resource in such instances🧪🔬

mountain dew was actually originally created as a whiskey mixer. So this is almost poetic
I was told it was a moonshine chaser but similar enough
Moonshine in it's purest form is a whiskey or bourbon distillate.... So, uhmm..... @@Deanabern
In other words moonshine is literally just unaged whiskey@@Deanabern
Moonshine is just illegally made spirits.. mostly made with corn & barely where I'm from..
If it's legal & white.. it's just New make or unaged
@UBMGDUC3 it's not aged in a barrel yes but the most important difference is paying tax on it. If it's taxed, it ain't shine!
The last cry of the dying heater as he whacked it got me 😂
Damn thing sounded like someone running full tilt doing a war cry
chip i'm all jacked up on mountain dew
"It's anarchy!" 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
I'm gonna come at you like a spider monkey...
Fun legal fact: Distilling is federally illegal but a few states (I think 8 so far) have decriminalized it, just like the devil's lettuce
Soon poking smot will be federally legal
you can create your own "Craft beer" in your kitchen and its Perfectly Legal. As long as you are not SELLING or Transporting your "Brew" you can distill your own liquor. The Government can not get involved if it is "for own consumption". now, makeing 400 gallons of it... yeah, that would draw attention. But.. 1-3 gallons? You're fine.
Stilling is legal under a certain volume for “personal use” in all these 50 states
@@dirtybird437Most states require you to have a distillers license. Otherwise it is illegal to distill in the majority of the states.
@@gboy1298 only if you are going to sell your product. There is a certain limit per state that allows for "private consumption of alcohol you make". Like 1-2 gallons usually. Anything more, you need a license to make
Next project, "Rootbeer Beer"
Enjoyed the video of you all hanging out and just having some distillation fun with a little craziness. Always good to se you all together.
Silver Mountain.
Yes, it took me three days to come up with this. And honestly it sounds pretty tasty.
I used to make a drink called "Liquid Hell"
Half bottle (6 oz) of Mike's Hard Cranberry Lemonade. Half can (6 oz) of Cranberry Red Bull. 1 shot (50 ml) 190 proof everclear.
Its absolutely fantastic. But only one... only one...
You are then most
This is the best tv show we've had in nz for years , CHEERS 👌
Didn't think Moonshine could become more hillbilly than it already was... I was wrong! 🤣
1 1/2 kilo's is way more than " a little over a pound " 🤣It's closer to 3 1/2 pounds.
Sadly I drink Mt Dew daily and I can tell you getting it as cold as possible is key. I would totally buy this if I could find it in the US. LOL
Golden Hive Mead basically the same thing you guys are saying in regard to tasting notes. Also, I've found a great method for flattening soda is freezing it all the way and then thawing it out because the CO2 stays suspended in liquid but separates in a solid so when you thaw it out, the gas escapes.
I’m not gonna ask why you are flattening soda…. Actually, yes I am. Why are you doing that!?
@@ClawhammerSupply I don't typically. I just noticed that that's what happens after I left a soda in the freezer too long by accident and it froze. When it thawed, I noticed it was completely flat and it's because all the gas escapes out of the soda.
@@samfisher6606 Hate it when I do that...
@@ClawhammerSupply You also get a more concentrated (syrup form) of the Soda
So if you like McDonald's coke - that's the only way to get it without a restaraunt permit and a deal with coke.
@@samfisher6606 Yeah, and when you thaw it - the concentrate usually comes out first. So you get the ultra taste of coke. Like the most coke you can ever coke without visiting Columbia.
Love the disc golf supplies in the back. Big shine energy
Mountain dew was a nickname for moonshine. How quickly we forget history.
This had me laughing so hard, including the comments. Thank you.
Love this collaboration 😀
When two awesome channels collab. You love to see it.
One of the most interesting videos on UA-cam. Thanks!
You know it's going to be a good video when you see Popcorn Sutton in the first 15 seconds!
GREAT SHOW!!! FROM TENNESSEE, WHERE THE REAL MOUNTAIN DEW CAME FROM!!! BOTTOMS UP🤟
You guys need to buy some Mountain Dew syrup and mix with water, then disstill it.
The syrup still has Sodium Benzoate as an ingredient - which prevents fermentation.
@@-John-Doe-Not if you adjust the PH
You gotta love to see you favorite brewers collab with your favorite distiller
Very cool, and love that jessies rockin the itam hat.
The land of the free. Where i can't even distill my own booze.
It is legal. Free men don't need permission.
Yeah cus idiots will accidently produce methanyl, and you don't wanna do that
whats stopping you ? just don't advertise it
America is slavery to taxes like every other country. We don't have freedom as they want you to believe.
Grandma use to just unscrew the cap, just to hear the fizz from her sparkling flavored waters. Then leave them in fridge or on the counter. After a few days to a week, she would have flavored water ni fizzy lifting drink.
So glad y’all left the heaters death squeal in the video! I fix mine the same way lol
This was a very interesting show. I found it fascinating I guess you can ferment Mountain Dew ,thank you.
Got the ZZ Top vibe going on.
11:37 He says 1.5 kilos is a little over a pound when really its a little over 3 pounds lmao
Cool video guys. Green otter pop is my favorite. That sounds good.
You should be able to sit with your still at about 60°C with nothing coming out.
Take it up to 70°C-75°C and it only produces a small amount then stop, regardless of how long you leave it. This is fractionally distilling the methanol and higher volatile heads out.
Then up to 78°C+ and it starts producing again. This is the ethanol fraction. Collect in small containers, labelled with order. Combine to taste later.
I think in the vein of Skeeter P, this should be called Mountain P. Mountain P, Taste the Yellow Snow!
Brilliant idea
Love from New Zealand!!!
Moon-Dew! 😂
Moonshine + Mountain-Dew= Moon-Dew!, 😂
Interesting to see what can be created with other drinks!
I like it
"MOON-DEW"! I LOVE IT! (Also, "DEW-SHINE", I like that too!)
@lewishudgens , Hey, thar does also sound rather good!
Now, what would the bottles label look like?, lol! 😂
@@ClawhammerSupply "Mon Dieu!" more like it.
What an awesome experiment 🎉 ty
I actually made the mountain dew beer, wine whatever you may want to call it a few months ago. I used the real sugar mountain dew though. I am surprised this worked. I had a ton of trouble with the PH also. Pitched yeast twice before I figured out there was a problem, fixed it and pitched yeast again.
unfortunately couldn't distill it. Would love to try this.
This was a fun video to watch.
Daaaaaaaaaaaaamn I bet that is some good moonshine
Definitely inspiring in a weird way... I think I'll try something similar in my still with 75% partially fermented Mtn Dew and some cheap/leftover Rum. The combo may be good!
I'm all jacked up on Mountain Dew!!
Ghostbusters: Never cross the streams!
I'm so happy to hear that they knew the original story about the name in the first few seconds.
I think I can be confident in saying that thanks to UA-cam, New Zealand and Australia are two of the most beloved countries in the world. Not entirely, because you guys still rock, but it definitely helps.
You work for the tourism industry?
@@albyshinyfield8841 No, I just watch a lot of UA-cam and also love folks from the two above mentioned countries.
Double Dew Sounds fitting yall know Mountain Dew was created as a mixer in the 1940's
Y'all are awesome
Great job on this recipe! You basically made my favorite mixer, Vodka Dew! Definitely drink it on ice. Cheers!
What a great and stupid collab with Stillit. Toxic Dew distilling.
This was such a fun and entertaining video. I love you guys. Gimme more.
19:30 pov dumping bedpans in the hospital
Shelf full of disc golf discs in the background. Love to see it.
Just a few lads doing the Dew. Carry on lads.
New Mountain Dewcream. ❤❤❤❤
@ 1:38 Disc Golf discs!! Woot, tell us about that... And enjoying some drinks while playing. =-)
Yes, this is the correct statement. The heads in the tails contain fusil alcohols which are other alcohols than ethanol which is what fermentation produces obviously so when you pull your tails in your head, you get diffusely alcohols so you do he’s doing it right I’m just puzzled how they got all that Mountain Dew to ferment in five days when it takes me two days to kick off 5 gallons of beer and that’s just barely starting to firman. It takes like I’m still ferment after like three weeks, but there’s a lot of sugar cherries. Whatever I put in my beer or wine.
I have low blood sugar but I love Mountain Dew
I start to shake then crash within minutes I only drink ounce in a great while but the shine looks really good
The theory is good that the sugar water pop could ferment to make shine is good but it really doesn't get the flavour int he raw product unless you infuse something. One of the best yield mixes I have ever used was with Kirkland brand Mango juice and sugar. It comes out very clean and high proof. I just love experimenting. with different blends.
Digging the disc golf rack in the back
Now I have to try this with Code Red Mt Dew,
And Voltage
after a stripping run, I make cuts based on temperature of the vapor right before it goes to the condenser. anything above 195-200 F is tails. heads are mostly below 182-185 F
I honestly did not expect to see a crate of Amstel Bier which is a Dutch beer and i am Dutch myself so that was funny to see that crate there
Yeeeehaaaa. Fast forward till the end
Nothin better than some good ol' mountain dew!
Dewsh ine. You didn't think this through. Dew shine. Dewsh ine. 😂
This video is in my algorithm, I shall watch all 40 mins
i look at this vid n think oo this looks interesting, in the first sentence they said they went to new zealand to do so which is a cool coincidence. cheers from nz
Thanks to a new bill passed, come June it will now be legal to in WV, though still illegal to sell.
Props for using the mud mixer on the mountain dew
I need to get back into brewing my simple home beer. I literally just boiled some pumpernickel and hops in water, strained the mush out, let it cool to about 100°F, then put it in a mason jar with fruit, sugar and yeast. Gave it a stir and then sealed it lightly so it wouldn't explode.
That code says you can and can't in the same sentence, that's not confusing at all. MY Family has been making Mead for decades for Christmas time, it's a Nordic tradition
Like the Amstel crate in the setup, but hope you had better beer to drink.
They need to bring back Mt Dewshine
"Tastes like diabetes"
*Turns the diabetes taste into liver cancer taste*
I really wanna try this
Interesting to watch.
As a total amateur I've heard that there is a small amount of methanol that gets distilled. How did you get rid of it?
7:24 This man's Giggle sent me. 🤣 🤣 🤣
Dude saw homeboy make mead with mtn dew and said ahh yes I gotta top it with dew shine 😂
You can distill up to 200 gallons of alcohol for personal use in the state of Missouri per year. Perfectly legal
Long Live POPCORN !!! And Christmas Apple Pie !!
FYI. I keep MY guns, Next to the fishing poles.
That stack in the refinery is called a Reflux Tube.
When me and my brother were real little and learning to use a toilet my dad would play “swords” with us. I didn’t know anyone else knew what this was or did this. He hasn’t been in our lives for a long time now and always thought he was a weirdo for doing it.
best idea ever
Fun fact, this video is what we do in prisons for a hustle except distilling unless we know what we are doing
All right you guys, I just came across your channel, because of Mountain Dew Moonshine and thought this could be a great video. But I could tell right away it’s not a family show, I mean first thing I hear is I like to wack
It (ph probe) that’s my first laugh. Time I get back to the moonshine, and I also keep my heat gun in the garage here in Missouri, let’s get after it.
Does raising the ph also work when using apple juice from the store?
Fun fact: In the State of Missouri, you can make your own homemade spirits. It's that you can only make so much and you can't sell it.
Actually craft distillation is legal in a few states; it has always been legal in the state of Missouri where it is enshrined in the States Constitution! I believe West Virginia that just legalized it this month!
MO is the only state. Hopefully WV will be next. But it hasn’t been signed yet.
Home brewing is legal in Alaska, Arizona, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, and Rhode Island. All allow craft distilling home brew for personal use!!
When I lived in MI I could legally distill upto 6000 proof gallons a year!
i would love to try this...
Did people not know that Mnt Dew was originally made as a mixer for moonshine?? 😂😂
Wonder if the soda syrup before carbonation would be better?
Swirl the bottle axially after upending it. Fastest way to empty it. No glugging.
Would Cold Stilling like using a vacuum system work?
I'd actually try that, I'm curious to what it actually tastes like.
AWESOMENESS GREATNESSES HAPPENED 💡💯✅🔥
You can make soda flat if you open the bottle. Close it back up and sit it out for a week or two
Is there not a way to recirculate water? You gotta use fresh processed water? Or does NZ not peocess their water?
This should have a million vhiews
I dont like distilled beverages but this was entertaining. I watched the whole thing.
Green Otterpops are my favorite
