Chemist here, been watching for several years. To expand on George's explanation on tails causing cloudiness. Tails consist of the higher order alcohols (mainly isomers of amyl alcohol, which are formed from amino acids by the yeast) which are sparingly soluble in water (because of the long carbon chain, as compared to the short carbon chains in ethanol methanol etc), and higher boiling. In concentrated ethanol solution they are soluble, however once the ethanol to water ratio is diluted past a point, the fusel alcohols reach their point of insolubility, and drop out of solution as small droplets of oil. Eventually this would float on top of the solution like an oil if left long enough. Love the work you do, George! I won't hesitate to keep giving chemical explanations if it helps everyone. Cheers.
@@MrBloodprice hard to say, I enjoy supplying myself and drinking buds with next to free booze, extracting thc oils from pot without toxic chemicals just my hobby style booze. I'm just saying I have learned more from George in 2 yrs give or take, than the yahoos who taught in my podunk school system that I grew up in. Every video I watch drags my attention closer down the hobby hole that is "Distilling Happiness."
Fantastic video George. After I have soaked the chips long enough, I put them in a saucepan on a flame, dry them out, re char them and use them again. I’m happy with the results. How long do you leave it in a barrel ?
Thanks George. I am really enjoying your content. You have made what seemed a very esoteric and mysterious subject very entertaining and easier to understand.
Hi George! I had the problem of cloudy jars on my last sugar run. I had watched one of your filtering videos and tried running it through a zero water filter just to see if it worked. It came out crystal clear! So that is another option for pulling out fusels even after you've proofed it down. Thanks for all the videos! Happy distilling!
After watching you for so long IV learned to stop collecting my “drinkables” at 100 proof and tails after. My likker has gotten significantly better thanks to it. Thanks George and happy distilling
I want to thank you for all the information it is very helpful for me being new to distiling and you teach in a very simple and easy way for us all to learn from you.
Thank you for all the videos and information you give us, I hope one day we can have this craft legal in the US! For now I will just enjoy watching you and the others that are able to make this a hobby.
I made myself a Pennsylvania Single Malt. I did get the peated malted barley and went 40% peated and 60% pale ale malted. It's very much similar to Lagavulin. My Scottish heritage did not fail me, lol
Thank you so much for all of your help and advice. I am just getting started. I have watched all your videos. Taking notes. You are an amazing teacher. Please keep making amazing videos. Thank you.
George, Mike is right. I my parents were dedicated teachers and I taught Ag but only one year. You have the talent to teach and convey what you are saying. It's a gift many teachers do not have, only 10% I would say. Keep it up, your a blessing to those that hear you.
Thank you so much I'm honored by your shout out I really appreciate it like you I'm just trying to help others be the best they can be and will continue to help when I can loved the video once again chocked full of great information. HAPPY HAPPY STILLIN
I thought it was really kewl that George mentioned you too, especially after you had answered my question about my curiosity. Wish people in general were more like George and you sir.. hope life's treating you well in your world. And thanks again.
@@mikebullard1797 Thanks Mike your comments are greatly appreciated. I was lucky enough to have my Great Grandfather and Grandfather to learn from most people aren't that lucky so me helping others is my way of honoring them. I do agree we need more people like George in the world it would be a much better place . Happy Happy Stillin
Hi George. Renato here. I've been watching your videos for a while but just subscribed to your channel. I'm a winemaker myself but wanted to experiment a little with other things we can do with grapes ( Brandy ). Personally I really enjoy your tutorials. Thanks so much. there is a lot to learn.
@Anthony Good Thank you for your service from a fellow veteran '86 -90 USAF AFSC 46350 for me. Only about 1.5% of population are veterans btw. Thx again :)
Hey George big shout out to you all the way from the home of whisky Scotland. Just starting to try my hand at home brewing and found your site. Loving the videos and will be attempting to build my own still as they are so dam expensive. Hope to pick your brains for some ideas. Thanks and keep up good work
Oaking Question. I have read/heard from some that pre-soaking and straining will reduce some of the tannins and reduce alcohol losses. A short boil (5-10 minutes) will even reduce more of the harsh tannins. I like the idea of a quick boil to reduce oaky-bite and to sterilize the wood before introducing wood to shine/wines. Wood being porous, it is a great location for microbes/fungus to lay dormant just waiting for moisture to release nasty off-flavors.
One thing I tried with the wood chip aging, was temperature differences, kind of a microcosm of a barrel warehouse. Over 3 months, especially with a single malt, it went from warmest room in the house, to the refrigerator, to the coolest room in the house and every 3 days, I would rotate. I had very good results with that. Thought I would share.
Thanks! I am planning to use our cold room to rotate in and out of weekly during the cold months and then garage and house with AC in the warmer months. I wasn’t sure that idea had “legs”...but it sounds like it should work.
Your package arrived first thing this morning George and I want to say Thank You so much it is greatly appreciated and I'm waiting for the live streaming event to open and enjoy then the signed bottle will be given a place of honor among my beer mugs and wine bottles that I collected from all over the world during my 15 years of military service. Had and idea for the event maybe you could spend so time on distilling onions or helmets I've seen them called both and their use and if you think that they are worth the expense of adding them to our systems or not. Once again thanks for the gift and all your help in making me a better distller Happy Happy Stillin.
George, you are a wealth of knowledge. Love your wisdom. From Kelowna British Columbia where we are in a fruit basket. Brandy is my fave thing to make. I use an eSpring Water Treatment system for all my water use. I market them as well online. You are so right about using good water. Makes a huge difference in final product. If you’re interested in a purifier, I would love to get you some info. Best regards Mel
I just started trying to distill and I don't usually use the internet at all(I'm a bit old school, lol). I had to ask my wife how to prescribe, as it is my first time. George thanks for the info and im excited about learning.
Love your show .l am going to try to make my own still.And l am thinking that I will succeed by watching your videos.Thank you very much looking forward to making some wabbly pop.😜
You took a drink of what's in your cup....... Anybody ever notice how rare that is in the videos???...... I've watched your channel for a while and love love all the content...... There's almost never a time you don't have a cup of something and you almost never drink it!!!! Thank you for all you do!!!!
I made some Red Wheat whiskey a few months back. I aged a quart with medium toast oak chips. Proofed to 100 this morning, going to add 1/2 oz of glycerin to 1 bottle and leave a 2nd bottle without. Still trying to decide whether I like it or not. Your help is much appreciated George !! Thank You Sir.
New subscriber here George & I've been watching quite a few of your videos. You're very educational the way you explain things. I'm a newbie w/ distilling & I'm in the process of wanting to build a distill so I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions along the way.
You may also want to look at the Pearson's square for calculating final concentration from two other concentrations say 80% and 30% to make a 40% solution.
Hi George, I know theses are older videos but we are just new to all of this and came across your videos and love them! You mentioned a calculator app but we are unsure where to find it and wondered if you could help? Thanks
Good morning, sir. I'm so happy you're back for us to enjoy and learn. I lost some of my motivation of my hobby when my mentor retired. Lol. You're a great instructor. I lost my original app for Barley and Hopps. After seeing this video, I'm excited to play again. Could you please send me the link for your app? Should I message you my # rather than post it? Thank you for your time. Be safe. Charlie. BTW. I am traveling to San Antonio in March from Fl. Do you have a suppy store? If so, where in Tx?
George, watched the sugar wash video and followed to the T. Didn't have time to run so I stored it like you suggest. While the mash was fermenting I cleaned my stainless and copper with your cleaning ideas, I even ran the unneeded 'sacrificial run' of just pure water. Now my issue, I ran what I felt was the easiest batch I've run in 10 years, the first half quart came out a light green. The following 2 qts came clear, the next 6 came with a light tint of yellow and progressively darker. Do you have any clues why this went yellow? Is it consumable? Thanks again and love the channel.
George try putting in the fridge or freezer and pulling it out and letting it warm a few times, what this does is contract and expand the wood as if it was in a barrel outside for years it simulates the weather changes and puts the vanilla and Carmel flavors in the oak at a faster rate just something you may want to try.
Thanks George for all the info you answered all my questions by watching your videos now I'm pretty good at the craft but it took a lot of disappointment for me to get there lol
There's a distillery in Cleveland that uses pressurized containers and charred oak chips to age their bourbon in a matter of hours. Here's a question. Could a person take these mason jars with oak chips and put them in a pressure canner to more quickly extract the wood into the distillate? I wouldn't want to burn the house down, but if done carefully, this theoretically could work.
@dipeer5 As I replied to 'Wayne Ivy', CryptoPonics YT channel is coming online soon (you can subscribe now) and we are going to have a segment called "FactFinders" where we dispel myths and uncover the true facts. I put this suggestion on the list of items to 'test and prove' as well as testing vacuum in addition to pressure. We will also test the cycling of temperature at each pressure maximum or minimum as additional independent tests and report this to our community. Great idea :)
George, thanks for all you do. Would love to see an advanced deep tech type demo sometime on the science to the cuts of temp vs types of chemicals that will come off on a pot still.
Thank you for all the content! Very informational and helpful. I tried looking for the video on how to get the app, could not find it. How can I get it? Please and thanks!

Mark, just a shout out to you for helping out George with some of the technical stuff, especially the Audible P&T device you and George developed for Mike, "The Blind Pig". The 3 apps you developed for the community is very awesome. Just started to play with it a couple of days ago and will definitely be using on my next run in a few weeks.

My thanks to you and cheers!🥃 Mike
It's been a while since I've "needed" to watch George, and to be honest...I've forgotten how much I love this guy. He is an amazing Teacher/Instructor and his love for the craft is evident. Thanks George for being who you are!! Cheers!!
How do you wash and what do you wash your wood chips in after you charred them? I head people say so many different things so would you happen to know ?
George, a suggestion for the Sugar Wash Makeup Calculator....In the Results section (at the bottom of the Calculator window) have a toggle to switch the units from imperial to metric (example - gallons to grams).
