Hahahahaha AWESOME!!!!

Men at work, down under, are the tune i gues ? How does the rest go ? 😉

I'm glad to be included in the tribute, too. It's a real honor. We'll have to get together with Chris and let him tap the barrels.

Agreed on all counts.

Couldn't agree more!

I'll talk to him about it.

@@BeardedBored thanks🙂

@@chiwitthidi have you tried disconnecting 5ghz from your WiFi? After I did that, the fairy had no issues connecting. I was about to give up and sell mine hastily after discussing with Lafras after wasting hours trying to connect. My buddy that has an electronics business knew what was going on in 10sec. Worked like a charm after turning off the 5ghz. Thanks Bearded for the video that pushed me over the cliff. Rum, banana rum, Alan raisin/oatmeal neutral for absinthe, mead that went funky, bad red wine, funky banana wine….I’m well over 100gal ran through as it’s so easy to set it and forget it. 🥃

Hope you enjoy it!

@@BeardedBored OK I learned alot on my first sugar wash. First, I didnt make enough wash. I used George's Karo syrup recipe and the distillation stalled. I adjusted the pH added nutrient and more DADY and it fermented from 1.092 to 1.002. I also learned that a refractometer is not to be used when measuring sugar and alcohol. Duh. I thought I had a 30 abv fermentation which cant happen. Now I know how to use the refractometer. While trying to get the Plus to work I sent this to the liquor fairy who pot stilled half of the wash. Amazed to see 80% abv (actually likely above the refractometer range) first coming out and watched it drop to ~30%. The problem is it all smelled a bit like funky Karo. Next time I invert the sugar. I did get the Plus to work - awesome machine! The issues were with connectivity and I can send Lafras an update for what to expect when getting Macs to run it. The number of temperatures it monitors is really cool. The liquor fairy was able to run some of the left over wash and got a bit of heads and hearts but now I know to make alot more starting wash. I can see it will take a bit of experimenting to get the % heads vs hearts dialed in - and thats not even including the flavored spirits. What fun! Thanks, BnB!

The machine comes with a pump. You can check my other video for the MVM for a detailed view.

It's been talked about on forums for years, and a few have tried it. This is the only one that really hit the nail on the head.

Glad to hear it:-)

Hey Jeremy - I was convinced my Plus didnt work but I put in the time to figure out the connectivity problems. If thats the issue, let me know.

@@RichardKurtz23 Thanks! It has a busted solder joint in the plumbing. It is proving to be very difficult to repair, and I am not a beginner at soldering dissimilar material and odd thermal masses. I have not given up yet, but I have only. been working on it as time allows.

I have a lot more tinkering to do with rum;-)

The liquor fairy cleans it out with water and citric acid like the manual says, then dump the first 100ml or so of the next run. It's all in the manual. The liquor fairy predicts zero crossover in flavors;-)

@@BeardedBored I meant purposefully running them in sequence to check if there was much smearing. Mostly for science

Sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing, brother.

Gotta represent the squad:-)

Go lionel GOOO

Thanks Tiger Pat!

Hey, thanks

Dankie broer!

Right on!

If it won't connect to your phone, try setting it up next to your laptop or PC. My old phone would work on the MVM mini, so I used my laptop set up next to it to get it ready. Recently got a new phone, took about 5 minutes for my phone to find the signal, but then it was fine. Send Lafras an email. Good luck.

@garyhelms2997 did you get a solution, mine is doing the same thing.

@@bistrja Still trying but seem to be getting nowhere. Not encouraged, may have to be happy with vodka. If you make any progress sing out

@@bistrja I think I am not getting the name right, maybe not linking to Wi-Fi

Have fun!

Default whiskey settings worked great;-)

70%...hypothetically. But you can adjust that in the settings.

Sounds Fun!

Tree branch fell on my face:-)

I was wondering the same thing! Glad the branch didn’t do you any worse. Love your content.

@@BeardedBored Glad it wasn't anything too serious you'll be back to your pretty self soon lol

I nominate @Benzerkerz ;-)

Thanks so much!

Yep, did a video on it:-)

Default whiskey setting:-)

@@BeardedBored Cheers. I'll run mine that way then ... though the urge to fiddle with the settings is strong :)

As long as it's from a rum.

Yeah, it has to be set to make alcohol in the app, otherwise it just makes water. When I got the mini version last year my old phone couldn't find the signal in the wifi sources, so I put my laptop next to the mvm and that worked. Recently I got a new phone and it was able to find the wifi signal, but it had to refresh for 5-6 minutes before it finally picked it up. Hope that helps.

So a kvass type spirit?

@@BeardedBored Thanks for responding 👍🏻I looked up kvass sounds right it's from left over bread, I wonder if it can be made from cheap store bought processed bread as the preservatives could perhaps stall the Fermentation? Thanks B. Watch for the content but say for the humour 🤣🤌🏻🤌🏻

@@bacres8334 I've tossed the idea around a few times. It's on the list of things to try for sure:-)

@@BeardedBored I'll stay tune so 😁 I've recently did a wash with a malted bread finished off at 7%, just the water , bread and boiled it up with amylase , I going to try with just white processed bread nxt, I'm may try and aquire myself a likka 🧚‍♀️ thanks very much for responding, ✌🏼

I haven't made any adjustments yet. Just using the default settings.

@@BeardedBored Hi Bearded… Gotcha, thank you for the reply.. I’m curious if you make any changes going forward. I also made a “Ben” Rum… Panela Molasses and Fig… Its going to be a keeper… Christopher has been awesome to me and I love the BadMos… Jim

I cant get mine to make a drinkable vodka, I'm using Teddy Sad's FFV recipe, which is normally great. But no matter how I set it up it still tastes like ass, tailsy and unpleasant to drink.

@@gee7801 Hey Gee, sorry to hear that… all that time literally down the drain… I’ve had really good luck w my MVM 2.0… I’m only making neutral’s primarily to make infusion Gins… it’s great, 20 gallons of sugar wash hooked up to MVM… runs non stop for 4 days…. Finish up with 4.2 liters at 55% abv… is it great, top shelf? No, not even close, but it’s pretty good as a cocktail… it does make a great base for Gin and that how I use it…. (add neutral and botanicals to AirStill) all my MVM settings are where they were out of the box. All about 50%…. Q: do you have a downhill unrestricted flow to the drain on the “Waist Out” I believe this is really important; the crappy stuff needs to get out of the boiler. Also, at first I was a little concerned bc the “”Heads” off take was almost as much as the spirts, but….if you think about it, we are not stripping first, so I’m good with it and just let it run…. I did do a thorough cleaning run first… hope this helps… I’m no expert on this magic box but will share what I’ve learned to date. Best, JH

Hi James, glad to hear yours is doing the job, can you tell me what power setting you use? Cheers.

No cable needed. I just used my phone to look for the MVM in the available wifi signals in my area, signed in as per the manual and followed the directions to set it up. Took about 5 minutes.

Send Lafras an email to check on the status. He'll be able sort it out.

Hi John, I see the courier attempted delivery 2 days ago, please check the tracking info.

@@truthseeker2275 I can not get the tracking app to come up

Mine has shown up. But I can not find the ESP32MVM app.. I tried the manual mode. Turned it on for 20 sec then pushed the red button 3 times, still nothing..

@@johncunningham739 My phone takes about 5-6 minutes (cheaper phone) to locate the ESP32MVM in the wifi sources. Once you turn on the machine wait 5 minutes and refresh the wifi sources a few times. If that doesn't work, try using your laptop or PC. I don't know how far the thing will broadcast, so set up a few feet away from the MVM to make sure you pick up the signal.

I forgot to mention in the video, the link in the video description gives you an automatic 10% off.

The liquor fairy is considering it:-)

They do, but I have viewers all over the world. Some ingredients are hard to find locally for other folks.

Hell ya!

They are thinking of doing a movie@@BeardedBored

@@Sentinel-Ai Man, I hope so!

Hmmm, good haul of figs. You could blend them raw, or maybe slow cook half, then ferment the batch, probably 10+ gallons of water. Check the initial gravity. If it's around 1.070 I probably wouldn't add any sugar.

@@BeardedBored my job allows me qualities of different fruits

@@jefffawley3299 Lucky!

Fig was stupid good . Thank you. Came across ed dehydrated sweet corn ( tasty just to eat) grind or rehydrate ?

Sorry I was first, please take this assertion back

@@fidtysix2930 Bearded and Bored was First , I'm Next , then You're Dragging Up in 3rd Place . Sorry , Slow Poke .

Sadly, no, LOL:-)

That was my long term plan, to get as many people as I can to think of me with wings and a tutu:-) But the liquor fairy is critical, and handles the risky part of the hobby for me so I can keep my nose clean.
