I know I CAN distil peanuts, but should I? Will they be tasty? Or terrible? I have a hunch their oily nature may make things a little strange. Let's find out!

Hey Jesse, I'm sure you've thought about this but it may be that the reason it seems off towards the end is because of the increasing temperature causing a reaction between the oils in the peanuts and the ethanol. I would be curious to see the same test done with a vacuum distillation set up rather than a boiler (if you have access to such a thing). I love your content in general and the meme spirits specifically because you try and learn something new every time.

This looks like a great way to make peanut essence without needing to worry about the oil content (assuming you're happy to lose more than half your starting spirit...). I'd use this in brewing, for sure, blend with a porter or brown ale to get some good peanut flavours in there without needing to worry about the oils mucking up head retention or making your finished beer "slick". Probablky get a lot more control of the overall flavour than just making up a tincture as well.

You could always use a neutral vodka to distill a flavor bomb that you can then add to other spirits as a blend when you go to age them. Just take the first half the flavor bomb run, no worries about “wasting” half that base neutral spirit as you didn’t have any time/energy in it. But the flavor bomb could add that essence into a project as a blend for aging.

Ok now that I’ve watched the whole video. I wonder if the fermentation process would clean up that nasty off peanut flavor. I often find that the yeast will chew up off flavors and replace with their own character. Or even a lacto fermented/pickling of the peanuts may keep the overall flavor but again clean it up to be used in a mash.
@NickP42069
@NickP42069 9 ай бұрын
Maybe boiled and then dried peanuts, try to get some of the oils out beforehand? I know it would change the flavor a little with the peanut, but it would probably work to at least lessen the amount of oils that would be present during the distilling process.

Maybe malting them like with barley for whisky would get the peanut to convert more of the material that's making the off flavours into the sweeter notes.

For the extra peanuts: Peanut Brittle Per batch: 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup white corn syrup 1/4 cup water 1 cup peanuts (raw spanish peanuts are best, but dry roasted can work if they aren't too salty) 1 tsp. baking soda (I normally make about 4 batches at a time, which makes about 3 large cookie sheets worth) Combine sugar, syrup, and water in a large pot and bring to a boil while stirring Heat until 280°F, then add peanuts Continue heating to 305°F, then remove from heat and add baking soda while stirring rapidly. Pour out on cookie sheets (silicon sheets are best, but parchment paper is also good) Spread out with a spoon while hot.

In a more voluminous run, you can cold-press to extract the unsaturated oils without losing character. From the description that could be amazing in a bourbon cocktail.

Try doing things that alter the peanuts chemically, maybe a slaked lime like for nixtamalization of corn or a bath in lemon juice. Maybe one of the two will reduce the off flavors. Alternately, stop distillation of the yuck fraction, re-homogenize with some gelling agent (calcium acetate or maybe slaked lime, make a mix similar to Sterno and sell to caterers if it doesn't smell awful when burnt.

PB2 powder has some of the oil removed, which might help. My thoughts would be to see if the amylase in nuruk or amazake koji can break down the starches in peanuts into sugar. Looking it up, seems to be mainly alplha-D glucose polymers.

The second good flavor profile sounds like soft boiled peanuts, which is super popular as a roadside/street food here in the southern US. Normally with heavy salt and Cajun spices. If you can get that flavor in a drink, Southerners would love it.

Speaking as a chemist, I think this would be fascinating to do a vacuum distillation on. From what I understand of distilling spirits, that's quite uncommon? But there's two reasons behind this: 1. Is it the heat increasing (as the EtOH content in the pot goes down) that oxidizes it, or is it part of the peanuts themselves? 2. Would you get more of the really nutty aromatics over intact with a vacuum distillation while leaving behind some of those long-chain rancid/"off" tasting molecules? The only huge downside is that you need a cow receiver to make taking fractions (making cuts) not completely awful.

I'm assuming that Screwball might not be available in NZ. It's a peanut butter whiskey liqueur and pretty tasty. I have sneaking suspicion that they blend a very smooth/bland whiskey with the pleasant cuts of a peanut distillation like yours and sugar. Might be worthwhile to add some sugar to a blend of the two nice glasses and water down to 35% to see if you like it. I'd wager it would be very Screwball-esque without the whiskey notes. Side note: You might want to see if really fresh peanuts have less of the off notes that the backend was getting. The oxidized oils take a while to get oxidized so fresh peanuts should have less. Or maybe look for peanuts that come in a foil sealed can. I'm guessing they get packaged in an oxygen free atmosphere.
@PedantByNumbers
@PedantByNumbers 9 ай бұрын
Maybe a quick blanching first, before the grind, to get any surface oils off that may have oxidized might catch some of the off flavors? Just for like 30 seconds to a minute. Not sure what you would lose from the volatiles coming off, but I feel like it may be an improvement.

darker and lighter roasting is certainly a consideration. My thought on the half wasted batch thing is to try some other flavor extraction methods rather than adding peanuts to a bulk spirit run. like making an extract concentrate to add back to other batches. Maybe try just macerating them in water or a mash strength dilution so there is more vapor and liquid volume, or macerate filter then distill. There is also the option to e-distill the tails half in a column just to recover the rectified alcohol for use in another maceration.

So, the later "off" taste will be from longer chain oils, maybe some with some double bonds or side chains on them. These oils are less reactive so will stay in the mixture longer compared to the more active and aromatic oils which are the ones that will have come out in the earlier cuts. Some intense heat could break those bonds but I don't know what it would do to the taste.

While we admire the experimental process, keep it real. I think its better to refine whats good, than hash out to many experimental fermentations.

Could we use alcohol distillation/brewing & distillation to get flavours from inedible nuts?

Well I've had a play with this and so far it's been a 2 for 2 total failure. First try: 1. Instead of blending dry peanuts and adding it to the vodka wash, I put both in the blender to get a better grind and smoother consistency. 2. I left it in the air still for 1 hour at 50c. 3. I turned on the still and ran it for 10 minutes, it over 'frothed' and got nothing but milky sludge out of the spout, it tripped the heat overload and found that it had burned the peanut sediment and overheated. Second try: 1. Did step 1 and 2. 2. Ran the wash through a sieve to get rid of the lumpy bits. 3. Added the wash to the still and added 1 litre of water to hopefully tame the froth and turned it on and left it for 10 minutes and again, very quickly got milky froth through the spout and went everywhere. I don't know if blending the peanuts was the cause but stuff like this makes me lose my mojo because i follow the instructions and it goes wrong and I don't know why.

@@StillIt it's the same air still as yours. It's got 500ml vodka, 400g peanuts, 1 litre of water. As with all of these air stills, it's on or off. There's loads of head room so no idea why it's happened.

@@KubedPixel huh, that's a weird one mate! I have only ever had a puke on the air still once or twice and only when pushing it. Check for blockages, clean the whole thing out and as you said try without blending (less nucleation sites).

@@StillIt I'll give it another try. Thanks fella. I thought blending the mixture would give it more flavour and consistency and even boil. I might just go for overkill and dump it in my T500 + alembic instead.

If you’re worried about the oil try using PB2 powdered peanut powder.

Maybe do it with the peanuts in the vapour path of a whisky run. Like a gin but whisky and nuts.

I'm curious if someone with nut allergy would have a reaction to the distilled product or if the part that they are allergic to is left behind.

The easiest way to find out is if those "essence of peanut" type products are allergy inducing.

What about distilling trail mix? Also what about distilling raw vs roasted peanuts? And what do peanuts do in a gin basket?

Kinda curious what it would taste like if you also included some cacao beans or carob if you distill from scratch?

Im wondering if someone with the classic peanut allergy were to drink it, if it would still give them a reaction.

I kinda did this with 6 snickers bars but only 2x bottles of vodka, I need more vodka judging from this one. It tastes really got at 100 proof, could taste the biscuit even that's in snickers but it was only a very small about that tasted any good, most was garbage water. Maybe you could do better Jessie as it's hard for me to get hold of a lot of food grade ethanol and vodka is pretty pricey for decent stuff in QLD. Just a thought.

How different would it be if you brewed and distilled it ? Compared to flavouring the spirit ?

I’m presuming the peanuts were roasted? Try raw to see how the flavor changes? Roasting them would alter the oils which may contribute to the bad taste in so much of it
