Have you guys ever thought about doing a collab with the HowToDrink channel and sending him one of your crazy distilled experiments to see if he can make it work in a cocktail?

Everyone has become so familiar with Brianna, that the hair thing just goes unnoticed.

Was curious so asked the same to GPT-4 and it got it dead right. First line: "Although it might seem unusual, it is theoretically possible to make alcohol from Pringles or similar potato-based snack foods. Alcohol is produced by fermenting sugars with yeast, which converts the sugars into ethanol (the alcohol found in alcoholic beverages). Pringles are made primarily from dehydrated potatoes and contain carbohydrates, which can be broken down into simpler sugars." Followed by detailed instructions. Its learning! :DDD

I’m still rooting for distilling Spaghetti Marinara. It’s a Fruit slurry and grain Product! And I’m interested to see if any herbs and spices in the sauce come thru!

Brianna is slowly losing all sense of a filter and I'm here for it.

For one of your “will it distill” videos you should do soda syrup, maybe Dr.Pepper syrup. It has a lot of flavors in it already.

I’m loving these ridiculously silly experiments. The energy the two of you bring to this series.

"Sometimes you just gotta take life and grab it by the Prangles." Words of wisdom. 🤔😂

11:28 When you're sick but you still need to work. 😂 That face she's making. That says a lot. (Get well soon.)

Story time! I visited the distillery and did a tour while this was fermenting and honestly the smell wasn't so bad coming off the bucket

I can imagine the conversation in the ER, "So, how did you sprain your ankle?..."

Distill banana pudding in honor of Banana. I'd also suggest that cat poop coffee and/or catnip but I don't imagine either would be truly distillable.

This series needs to continue indefinitely.. Turn Valiant or MoonDrop grapes into whiskey Jolly rancher ( the blues) Sugar babies/ sugar daddies Werther's original OR better yet raspberry creme savers

I recently discovered this channel and am so happy I did. Everyone has such a unique personality. Brianna is so quirky and I bet she would be fun to hang out with.

The first few minutes reminded me of making mashed potatoes from potato chips. Sour cream and onion were quite good! I learned how to make them from Sam the Cooking Guy

Brianna is a delight and I am glad she exists on this earth. #Exquisite

I'd love to see you guys distill. Root beer barrel candies, strawberry candies(with the foil strawberry wrapper) and or Zebra cakes

“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.”

I luv these two together in videos. Keep up the awesome work. It makes me laugh so hard that the bts and actual employees always seem so annoyed that Rex and Brianna are there to annoy them. Also Rex is looking good.

The comment about making a meal of Pringles when you're in college just gave me this idea: Will ramen distill?

this was 100% going to work since all the starches in Pringles is potato, corn, and rice which is the base of the chip

Here's a great example of how prompt engineering can help you get the correct response. I will tell you at the end. First, let me share the answer to your question "Can you make alcohol from pringles?", per ChatGPT, "In theory, it is possible to make alcohol from Pringles if you added yeast to it. However, the resulting alcohol content would likely be very low due to the low amount of fermentable sugars present in Pringles. As I mentioned earlier, while potatoes are a source of starch, which can be broken down into fermentable sugars, the manufacturing process used to make Pringles involves heating and dehydrating the potatoes, which can break down some of the starches and reduce their fermentability." So, while adding yeast to Pringles could technically result in some amount of alcohol production, it would not be a practical or efficient way to make alcohol due to the low sugar content and the presence of other ingredients that could interfere with the fermentation process." (I asked it the same thing and got the same answer. Then, I asked if you could make it out of potatoes and it said yes. After that, I asked why potatoes would work but not Pringles, to which it responded with, basically, 'Pringles would not be a practical or effective way to produce alcohol.' I then said, 'I didn't ask for a practical or effective way to produce alcohol. I just asked if you can make it from Pringles.' Finally, I got the correct response to your question. )

These series are so great! Love the experimenting and it always ends so funny!

Hi Whiskey Tribe. During the viewing of your video. NutterButter popped into my head. They are one of my favorite treats. Could you please try distilling NutterButter candy?

Yeah! More collabs with Jesse please! He’s such a chill dude

Well ChatGPT often makes up facts when it doesn’t know….

You can use Pringles as an emergency fire starter. It makes the best kindling with any fried chips.

The whiteboard behind Brianna at the end. "Congrats Rex..." LOL

As a teacher of home brewers and a PhD in chemistry I can teach you that pringles mostly contain starch that is a poly saccharide. Yeast can't metabolise polysaccharides. Bacteria can digest polysaccharides and so can fungi. If ou add a enzyme called maltose (present in your saliva and produced in grain when it is malted) that will break down starch into a sugar called maltos (and some dextrines) that is what then ferments. As Pringles is processed potatoes there is probably some fermentable sugars in them that will ferment and that is far from a compleate fermentation.

I’ve never seen one of your videos before but the two of you instantly got me hooked, came for Pringleshine, stayed for the vibes

16:56 the note about Rex on the white board 😂😂😂

It's like potato soup... it essentially IS potato soup. It is rehydrated potato flour with more water and spices. Real potato soup is minced potato (essentially the same as rehydrated potato flour) with water and spices...

I'm heavily considering fermenting and distilling... milk.

Suggested it yesterday on the last Will It Distill from a month ago, but going again here so you might see it better: how about trying various black licorice candies (licorice, jelly beans, Good & Plenty, maybe even Dutch salted licorice. Last one is mainly just to try eating.) and see if it distills into something akin to ouzo or sambuca.

Fantastic concept and video. Thanks!

How about doing a green distill? Like Matcha or, a type of vegatable? Maybe Spinach so Banana can get a big boost of Vitamins to help her come back a bit.

I’d love to see a “Will it distill?” using the liquid interior of Gushers fruit snacks and then injecting the best end product back in to make alcoholic Gushers.

One of the better Saturday releases recently.

Potato flakes = starch = glucose also know as a tipe of sugar. GPT now knowing that is surprising. Tip: Give the Pringles a quick wash to remove some of the salt. Salt will slow down / inhibit fermentation.

There's a point in the video where Rex looks like he's sporting a "Rachel" hair cut.

Brianna in a Led Zeppelin shirt is awesome! She is so fun and funny love to see her.

I had this as an idea at work....I said we could call it "Dringles"

13:44 awww the banana has gone bad... It's like when you come back and see one of the ones in the bunch has gone brown ... You hate to see it, lol

I'm more than happy to support you on Patreon for this level of shenanigans.

I think I suggested this on the last Will It Distill, but you should try beets because they have a higher sugar to weight ratio than watermelon which you have “successfully” distilled before I also just like beets

I would love a video like your whiteclaw one, which I'm watching rn, but just normal premixes (Jim Beam, Jack Daniels, Canadian Club, Bacardi, etc.) All different flavours, cola, dry, etc. A lot of people simply don't like mixing their own drinks, or prefer the standard mix like you get with the premix cans/bottles. And hey, compare the glass and can versions of some as well

16:19 nails the source material for the spirit!

LOVE a Will It Distill? upload day ❤

I make Pringles booze all the time. In a big bowl you pour a can of Pringles. Then you add in a gallon of Kentucky bourbon whiskey. Stir for 30 seconds and pour over ice cubes. Delicious.

A humble suggestion: Have you ever heard about Surströmming? A fermented swedish fish that smells so bad people will throw up from it. The keyword is fermented. Please ferment and distill fish into alcohol. (If needed, just add sugar to the mix)

Interesting how this channel took over your guys' Whiskey Vault channel

It’s because ChatGPT is just a suped up chat bot. Not an actual AI. So it’s no surprise it’s be wrong since it has to rely on whatever human generated info it references to.

James that was the greatest dad joke ever 😂

loving the vids you making, great stuff. im curious would white chocolate shavings or powder work?

Octopus 🐙 arms in the background 😂 I can't stop laughing 🤣

I don't even know what ChatGPT is and that makes me happy.

All I can think about is sweeping her curly hair out of her eyes, and laughing 😂 Can you make alcohol from Pringles yes! Should you for this video....YES!

My typing skills 😂😂 0:12

The whiteboard at 16:48 lmao 💀

I totally dry-heaved my way through the first 5 minutes of the video and I’m here for it! 😅

Everyone has such a great personality for this! Brianna tho.... IDK how to compliment her well enough to capture the epic awkwardness she brings. Truly a class of her own and a pleasure to watch!

Watching this gave me heartburn.

Can you make alcohol from prune juice? 😂

I would think alcohol made from Pringles would be extremely salty. Or does distillation leave the salt behind?

Laughed way too hard at the idea of using Banana as a rolling pin to crush pringles

Can’t wait till next video where Daniel and Rex are sick and Brianna is better. And messing with them

"I think he's presenting" LOL

Apparently anything can be made into booze. It's just "mix whatever you want with water and yeast as long as it has sugar. Let it sit for days. Chuck it in a distillery, collect the output. Put the output into a clean distillery, and dump the first couple of shots. Measure ingredients to taste." Bam, you have unlocked alcohol out of anything.

Congrats Rex!

What about making alcohol from poppy pods and poppy seeds? That would be really cool to test!

Y'all gotta try this with bbq sauce. Wonder if you'd get a sweet smokey and maybe spicy spirit.

The way he looked over like "are you f"'&$8! Kidding me??" With her hair down in front of her face. Hahaha that is so great

friend: "I ain't getting drunk tonight" also friend 3 hours later: 14:07

Pringles are chips- Chips are potato’s- Potato’s make vodka- Pringles will make vodka- Just a prediction

I’d like to imagine that heat rod tool is because Rex keeps burning mash in the still for this series

Ide like to see you distill kiwis, lemons, and beets. All separate not all in one horrible concoction.

This just goes to show that innovation Is 1 part creativity & 2 parts Spite

Banana coming through with that drunk girl energy always kills me

This gave me a crazy idea: Would salt and vinegar chips work? The reason this is funky is that vinegar is made from alcohol, so the concept of vinegar liquor is a novel one

Oh that's greasy 100% grease. 😂 Oh gad I'm dying.

Chatgpt told me this. While it is possible to create a fermented beverage using Pringle chips and yeast, it is not a reliable or safe method of alcohol production. Pringle chips do contain some starch, which can be converted to sugar and fermented using yeast to produce alcohol. However, the amount of starch in Pringle chips is relatively small, and the resulting alcohol yield is likely to be very low. Additionally, Pringle chips may contain preservatives or other additives that could interfere with the fermentation process or produce toxic byproducts. Furthermore, it is difficult to control the fermentation process when using unconventional ingredients, which increases the risk of producing an unsafe or unpleasant-tasting beverage. In summary, while it is technically possible to create an alcoholic beverage using Pringle chips and yeast, it is not a reliable or safe method of alcohol production, and it is not recommended.

You should do this with Tostitos or any other corn chip to see if you end up with a corn whiskey when it's all said and done...after you remove the grease layer.

CAN YOU PLEASE ADD MORE BRIANNA MIXING COCKTAILS ❤❤❤

First time here and this was a very fun time!

Jesse thinking Rex is talking about an actual banana 😂

So far my best experiment has been prickly pear cactus fruit. It was good stuff I can't wait for them to get ripe this year so I can make a bunch.

I got an idea a sweet onion the ones you can eat like an apple contains 5 grams of sugar now i was wondering if you can make alcohol from that

I used to eat pringles a lot until I finally checked the back of the pack and saw they are ridiculously full of saturated fat and salt compared with like any other chips. Like, shockingly so.

Distill Biscuits and gravy !!! 😎

its reponse to my question about high salt content: You are correct that the high salt content in Pringles could negatively affect the yeast, potentially inhibiting its fermentation process. Yeast is sensitive to salt, and too much salt can cause the yeast cells to become dehydrated, reducing their activity or even killing them. If you were to attempt fermenting Pringles, you would need to take the salt content into account and potentially adjust the fermentation process. You might need to dilute the mixture significantly to lower the salt concentration to a level that the yeast can tolerate. However, this would further decrease the yield of alcohol and make the process even less efficient. Again, while it's theoretically possible to ferment Pringles into alcohol, the process would be highly impractical and inefficient due to the low sugar content and high salt content of the product. There are far better options for fermenting alcohol at home, such as using fruits, grains, or sugar as the primary source of fermentable sugars.

Save me a dram 😂

Pringles don't have some starch, they have a ton of starch to hold the potato flakes together to form their iconic shape. This is why I don't eat Pringles anymore as it just feels like eating gluey potatoes.

Y'all should try to distill caramelized onions. That actually sounds like it could be really good. Lots of complex natural sugars and volatile compunds from the cooking process that could make an interesting spirit.

you guys should try and distill nuts of any kind not only would it be interesting to see but it would open the door for all kinds of innuendo's

by the way i got ChatGPT to agree with you by telling it "note that pringles still contain a majority of starch though, which could be converted into fermentable sugars using various methods." after getting the same "no, it's not possible *using Pringles alone*" you did. it'll then warn you that that means additional work and equipment, and suggests "extracting the starch and then using enzymes, such as amylase" (so essentially what you did, you "extracted" it by letting the oil settle out). also it'll remind you it's still one of the least cost-effective ideas ever, and instead suggests to "use other ingredients that are higher in fermentable sugars or carbohydrates, such as grains, fruits, or vegetables, that are specifically cultivated and processed for this purpose". i think it's interpreting "can" colloquially here (more like a "is it a good idea"), not whether it's technically possible. To quote ChatGPT: "In summary, while it is technically possible to extract fermentable sugars from Pringles, it would be a complicated and inefficient process, and other ingredients are much better suited for making alcohol."

I don't drink much, but because of you guys, I had to pick up a bottle of Ardbeg Uidgedale (way too lazy to check the spelling). I'm glad I did. I've never experienced anything like that. I've had Islay scotches before, but nothing that huge and dramatic. This is a whisky I'm going to blow a lot of people away with.

considering how often candy corn comes up as a flavor note, perhaps you should try distilling candy corn next....

Siphoning from the bottom of the fermentation container would have been easier.

Funyons just sounds like an entertaining disastor lol

hilarious... but those pringles cans taped to feet looked painful... i hope there were no injuries from that
