I founded a distillery in UK based on this concept, with whiskey coming of age next autumn. The possibilities are endless when it comes to mixed mashbill spirits, with each grain adding its own layer of flavour and texture. Look forward to hearing how yours ages. Try a different wood, like sweet chestnut (if you can get it) for the leftovers. Or pre-soak some oak in PX sherry before adding to spirit. Always enjoy your videos, something to learn every time. 🥃🌾

I’m glad you did this! I made a batch from beer this summer and it is amazing. Mostly made from stout. It’s the most complex thing I’ve ever tasted. Long version of the story is I got a hold of 14 gallons worth of random beer from a craft brewery that had an issue with their canning lines and all the cans were flat. So I had to open a lot of cans, everything thing from pumpkin stout to farm ale. But it was mostly different stouts. I ran it 4 times and took very strict heart cuts to get the hops flavors out. But, totally worth it. Just sad I’ll never be able to replicate it.

I think the candi syrup could be done a little better, you probably ended up with a fair amount of sodium citrate in your mash after making it acidic, then basic, then a little acidic again for the actual mash. I just boil down pure mashing liquid instead of using sugar. It doesn’t need to be inverted because it’s already a reducing sugar. It has heaps more amino acids for Maillard reactions, and the end flavour is infinitely more complex with less unintended salts being formed throughout
@losFondos 8 ай бұрын
I'd argue that in this case it doesn't really matter as the sodium citrate isn't going to end up in the distillate anyways.

@@owensmusicalmisadventures2312 I never tried to make candi syrup out of wort. How long does it take? I've never thought about it but of course, it can work as maltose is a reducing sugar! It won't get you the higher fermentability that is achieved with simpler sugars and is desired in Belgian beers though. My usual recipe is to start with 10% each of glucose and fructose, the rest being sucrose. My nitrogen source is usually 5g of DME per kg of sugars. I will try BCAA next time. I skip the inversion as I already have 20% reducing sugars in solution. I use ~ 40 ml 2M NaOH solution per kg of sugar. I add it at 135° C, cooking time varies depending on the desired results.

It's cool and all but I'm just wary of anything that has an app and a wifi connection when it really isn't necessary. Eventually support for the app will cease and you'll stop being able to use it, which is what has happened to countless apps that were designed for iOS 7 and Android 4 and simply won't run on newer phones. At least it seems like this thing is able to be used entirely from the panel, but who's to say that a future software update won't change that and restrict certain features to the app? How much will it cost to replace the electronics if you dump hot, sticky mash on them and the waterproofing fails? My opinion is that you'd be better off just using a propane burner (or electric heater, whatever floats your boat) and a thermometer, even though it requires a bit more attention and fiddling. It's cheaper and simpler and more robust.

I looked at Badmotivator barrels and their website says their barrels are only probably good for two or three batches before the flavor is sucked out of the wood. Have you ever rebuilt one or do you just throw them out? Kind of pricey for just a couple of uses.
@StillIt 8 ай бұрын
Keep in mind that your likely to have the spirit in the barrel for 2-3 years for each of those. Even after they have little flavor left they still have application for something like brandy. If you are looking for a quicker fix, smaller batches or better "value" id say the maturation sticks are a better option: chasethecraft.com/products/maturation-sticks

I use, and have great results, with a true 100% charred oak barrel. I have 3 in the 2 gallon size range. First fill only takes 2 - 3 months to age out. As it is used longer the available amount of oak goes down, if that makes sense, so I add charred oak chips to help. My 1st barrel has been filled 10 or 11 times. I rotate corn likker and Single Malt every other fill. Maturation sticks would do the same thing, for sure. EDIT: I'm not knocking the BadMo barrels at all, I've personally never used 1.
@kentaltobelli1840 8 ай бұрын
The purpose of a badmo barrel is to mimic the wood surface area : spirit volume ratio you'd find in a commercial barrel (so using a small full-wood barrel will over oak in the long term and is not a substitute). Depending on the tools you have available, yes you could pull the head (instructions on their website), plane down the head to remove the exhausted surface (at least 5 mm), rechar, and reinstall.
@the_whiskeyshaman 8 ай бұрын
There good for more than that. If you get one with a heavy toast and a heavy char you can get 5-6 rounds out of it. Also these are for long term aging at least 1 year up to 6 years. They impart flavor slowly.

Something I did which I thought was good (but it's probably a bad idea): I put golden grain into an instant pot with oak chips, Cooked for 1 hour high pressure. Natural pressure release (turn off, let cool until done... this is high alcohol -- no venting!!!!)... about 4 hours. (For source recipe, look up "instant pot amaretto," but I wanted oak!) That gave me "instant oak"... 3 tbsp for 5 gallon batch of beer... curious what you'd think of rapidness... Another "rapid" technique I've seen was using NOx chargers... esp for fruits, the flavors dissolve into nitrous much quicker; so... fruit-in-a-day or less (instead of wait 6 months).

Cognac is a French Brandy made from fully matured wine. It uses wine from grapes that are made into a high alcohol wine. After a few years, that wine is put through a still. The flavour notes of that wine travel into the spirit. They may double or triple that spirit through a still yet again. That is what Cognac is. Not just any Brandy.

I wonder what baked sugar maple wood would do. Ot should lighten it with carmel or yellow birch.

Hi, I hope you answer me. I tried several times to distill whiskey at home with a distiller I made from a regular kitchen pot, the lid was sealed but the process didn't work, do you have any tips or an idea what can be done with it?, thanks you, and keep going😊
