Great recipe! I made it the first time and mixed jars at different proofs 80, 70, 45 and 30. I had several friends and family taste them to let me know which one they liked best. To my surprise 45 proof was the favorite. Making a second batch today at 45 proof for gifting as I enjoy the 80 proof from the first batch. :-) Thanks as always George!

George , we absolutely love this stuff, I will offer two tips for you to try sometime : 1) add vanilla Vodka 1 cup 2). I cut up 3 apples and add to my boil for extra flavor, We do remove all prior to adding liquor. Also you may want to note not to add liquor till after boiled mixture cools

Every time I watch this man, he’s is right on the money! I see many others boasting about how their Apple Pie Moonshine is sooo potent. And in actual fact all they have done is ‘watered’ down 2 litres of shop bought vodka with a load of apple juice. I’m NOT saying all other recipes don’t work, or don’t taste great, but I do love the way George’s mind works. This video has actually spurred me on to have a go at this recipe. Thanks George #happydistiliing ;-)

Hey Barley and Hops, I know you are old school, but im sure you've heard of this "hard Seltzer" sensation, this stuff is cheap to make but expensive in stores. I would love to see you put your expertise to use in brewing and bottling this flavour neutral, low calorie Alcoholic beverage
@devinegger45703 жыл бұрын
Hey there! I’m no expert on hard seltzer, but I spent several years brewing kombucha commercially, and because letting kombucha carbonate itself would in turn create more alcohol than the legal .05% allowed we force carbonated all our beverages. From that standpoint the hard seltzer seems fairly simple: spirits + water + flavor then carbonate it. I’m sure if you used good water and good spirits you’ll come out with a product much better than what you can find in the store. Just my 2 cents...! Let me know if it works!

Then I mix with 1 gal cider and 1 gal juice with a half c sugar and a half c brown sugar. I haven't tried adding the Star Anise, but will 😉 I add 2 or 3 whole cloves, 2 cinnamon sticks, a tap of nutmeg and 3 or 4 apple slices to each quart jar.. Just be CAREFUL when you eat the apples, lol. Thanks George ! #HAPPYDISTILLING 🥃

WOAH there George that's a lot of sugar!! I made this recipe but added a bit of a twist! I used freeze distillation to concentrate the juice and cider before adding them to make the apple flavor more prominent. Turns out after doing that there were already plenty of sugars present in the juice so mine came out a lot sweeter. At first I thought it was the recipe but then I realized I added a ton of sugar by concentrating the juices first. Still turned out fantastic :) Great recipe just in time for the holidays!

Wow that's totally different than mine. I boil down 3 gallons of apple juice into one gallon, (because we can't get frozen consintrated apple juice here in Canada for some reason ) one and a half cups brown sugar 2 cloves. Cool add one gallon of 150 to 165 proof. Then add one cinnamon stick to each jar. But i let it sit for at least a week before tasting. Seems to do the trick. Think I'll try this one to check it out. Thanks George!

I made myself apple pie wine for my very first wine batch ever. Basically took apples, spiral slice & peeled them, and then run them in a blender with boiled brown sugar & apple seasoning mix water into an applesauce like substance. Filled a 5 gallon bucket 2/3 full of applesauce stuff, added water to top it off, and pitched yeast. Came out tasting like apple pie, crust and all, but I didn't know it was still fermenting a little bit when I bottled it, and ended up with apple pie champagne. Can't wait till my trees bloom up with apples again, this time around I wanna still out some from the next wine batch I make, and use the wine to cut the shine, and see how that turns out.
@harliethomas13782 жыл бұрын
The great thing about the concentrate is you can mix it with some apple juice and have some charge set aside for the younger kids that has no alcohol but it's still some really good spiced cider and they don't feel left out up to you if you think this is right or wrong I guess

Off subject..if i have a 2 inch pot still. My average proofs start out 130 - 140. If i add to the column how many inches per every 10 or so proof addition?
@BillMcGirr3 жыл бұрын
The highest proof I’ve ever seen from a pot still is 160... But it dropped pretty fast. Settling in at 145 for most of the run. You’re column length won’t affect proof much. Glenmorange distillery has 17 foot tall columns but only distillates to 120 proof. In order to increase proof you’ll need a reflux column and the skills to run it correctly. Without bubble plates the highest proof I can achieve in 1 distillation is 174... But I can keep it there for MOST of the run by putting it in full reflux occasionally.👍🥃

Hello George, are you familiar with German/Austrian Glühwein (mulled wine)? It is very common over there around this time of year, with red wine instead of your apple cider/juice. A very nice and festive touch is to have a cone of solid sugar that was soaked with high-proof liquor and set aflame placed on top of the bowl (with the help of some pinchers) with melted hot sugar dripping into the drink. It is know there as "FeuerZangenBowle" (Feuer=fire Zange=pinchers/pliers Bowle=bowl); google the term and you'll get the idea.
