Distilled dumpster juice, what a perfect analog for 2020.
Well said, Rev. Well said.

Roflmao
Some new tryptamine or opioid analogues need to come out.. I know that much.
@@kalebdye4378 We need to stop the war on drugs, really- at least until there is something to replace them properly. Opiates are one of a very few strong painkillers that are actually effective against any kind of pain. Yes, they are addictive, but proper drug regimen addresses that. If it was just a few years later, when my mum was hospitalized until her death, she'd have been stuck taking painkillers that would have done nothing to help her because they simply aren't strong enough.

@Tad Cooper it is illegal to distill alcohol without having either a distilled spirits permit or a federal fuel alcohol permit, and some states still regulate things even more strictly, like disallowing stills.
@@KainYusanagi It was really nice of the distillery to put this project under their legal license umbrella.
@@MichaelOnines That it was (and I really didn't see HTME actually doing it the actually-illegal way, either)
This channel is a gem

“Getting trashed on trash”
Choosing Lauren because shes pretty over the clearly actually competent woman is really trashy.
I love that Lauren brings out more of Andy’s humor. Like you can usually tell he has it it just doesn’t show it very often and Lauren has really brought it out in him
Big hats off to the distillery for putting you under their licence and making this able happen.
I know how hard it is to get setup and licensed from the Whisky Tribes videos on the matter.
Also you should definitely try aging this, or getting an ultrasound cleaner and force aging it with wood chips
Woot, Whiskey Tribe!
(and by proxy Modern Rogue!)
They still openly committed at least 1 felony in this by being unlicensed and unsupervised as in their state and it was clearly said that being unlicensed in possession of a still is a felony and I bet you the brewery never put them under their license because they would have to pay the same amount for that little pot that they do for a big still. So let’s be honest they probably got an unwanted visit from the atf
@@bogator0149 doubtful. They didn't cross state lines or produce it for commercial use. That's really all they care about as there are no specific federal laws prohibiting small scale production for private consumption.
On the other hand their states excise police literally don't have anything better to do...
Nicholas Hodges he doesn’t have to cross state lines making it period is a felony listen to what the woman says you can under no means make it yourself no such thing as personal consumption for homemade alcohol
@@bogator0149 I LIVE in a moonshine state, dude. I can go purchase a legal 4 gal still at the hardware store for $85 and have it up & running legally 5 minutes after getting home. Unless you plan on selling it there is no federal restriction against it. In my state if you make too much it's a tax infraction, not a criminal offense. Just because it's illegal in THEIR state doesn't make it so for the other 49.
Further just because a crime is a felony that doesn't mean it's a federal crime. It has to fall under very specific circumstances in order to be federal.
There is also the fact that MOST states don't have regulations on stills with a volume of less than a gallon, as that could impede genuine scientific & educational work. Most likely they grossly overstated their case to stop people who will watch a video on TH-cam who think they are now expert enough do debate something like distillation laws with people who've ACTUALLY dealt with those laws from trying to set up a still
Andy: "Let's make moonshine from trash!"
In Video Ad: "Do you have life insurance?" Nope, but I think Andy might need it
I didn't really like Lauren at first, but i have to say that she seems to have found her place now and she is really growing on me
Marijn is Lauren his girl or she works on the show?
She's gotten more comfortable with the camera, I think.
@@jmsmith1767 They actually held auditions.
The cute one who loved cats lost, but Lauren's an absolute bro, so I dig it.
Came here to say the same. I didn't dislike her or anything but it felt like she was forcing a performance at first. I think she was just getting used to the camera and I really like her demeanor.
She's sexy
Lauren is a great addition to your videos. Thanks for uploading another entertaining video 👍

The part where she said “taste like college” cracked me up lmao
Just speaking from experience lol
College.

If you want the booze to actually have some sort of flavour you need a leaky distillation setup where some of the unfiltered mixture sloshes over. The cleaner your distillation, the more your final product will resemble pure ethanol and water.
Alternately, you can add fruits or herbs after distilling the moonshine and leave them to soak into the booze. If you're boiliong trash, this latter method is probably preferable.
Plant: *exists*
Humans: how can I turn you into alcohol so I can drink you?
"For people building their own stills, it can be deadly. Thats why it's highly regulated"

Moonshine made from garbage: The official drink of 2020
Thanks to Lauren, I'm going to get a bunch of googly eyes and put them on random stuff all over the Twin Cities and MN.
A dream come true!
I almost gagged at Andy dumpster diving. Lauren’s bowl-making skills and beet-monster-voice are next level. Save a shot for me!
Love the little 'Hi Mom' sign at 6:05, make 'em proud!
She loves watching the show so I gotta give her a little shoutout :-)
I Love this channel and series thx for making this. makes my day :)
I love primitive stuff
Lauren is hilarious XD I'm so glad she joined
🥰🥰🥰 thank you!! I have so much fun :-)
Something the distillery worker didn't mention is that the heads and tails aren't just discarded like the foreshot is (though even that can be kept as it has its uses, such as antiseptic, industrial solvent, as a fuel, or a myriad of chemical processing uses) but are instead kept and added to the wash of the next distillation, so that any trapped ethanol can still be liberated in future runs. Side note, the reason it tasted so funky was probably because they retained some of the heads and tails and didn't just capture the heart of their distillation; that's usually where you get all the funky tastes and smells from with un-matured alcohol. Most long-aged alcohol actually deliberately retains some of the heads and tails, though, because the aging process actually transforms those funky flavours into the complex body of good flavours that we all know and love from our various distilled beverages of choice.
The real reason why it's regulated was to prevent large sums of goods and high priced goods from being traded without taxation.
It's been too long since we last saw the clip of Andy falling into the cranberries.
Hi fellow HTME fan
Lady at the distillery: You shouldn’t distill alcohol if you don’t know what your doing

:D OMG She's a great addition to the team
I've been waiting for this one
Superb episode! I really like talk with experts about distilling, execution and great "performance" by Andy and Lauren. BTW. Lauren is great addition to the team!
Best season ever guys! Love the chemistry between you guys :) keep doing what you're doing :)

I love that you two are learning so many concepts that were so high up for you before. humans are indeed curious and wanna learn just need to experiment to learn they like it. i love how your content is evolving from primitive to modern and you are becoming more of a chemist yourself.

Your videos are so great. Such high quality content.
Next makes a Molotov
Well, they just need a pot/vessel out of clay and a rag, maybe some thickening agent to keep the alcohol in and not have it evaporate too fast.
I would love a series where you take modern concepts and try to do them with primitive tools to see if the concepts were doable or not back then
I think it's sooooo cool what you guys are doing in general. Getting the help to license your still also very cool!

so fun to see lauren on recently! love her!
!! Hey drew :-)
Brilliant line: "Tastes like college!"
they referred to it as 100% alcohol, but they only distilled it twice, its more likely to be around half alcohol or 100 proof, you did a surprisingly great job and you should be proud,
I don't know. But, honestly, I smile and laugh at every insane humor. Very informative and so entertaining.
That is well done. I have never seen a cloudy distillate in my life.

why
@@turtle7792 Making your own alcohol (Moonshine) is not legal. It's actually a felony (as Andy said). The practice came when the prohibition started, people lived in remote forests to make their own alcohol (Moonshine) which they either drank themselves or sold. (This is all I know and some parts might be wrong)
The Continuation wouldn’t this be regulated by the ATF?
@@vindiesel3066 I'm not so sure as I'm not knowledgeable in this topic
"Tastes like college."
It should taste like 2020

This is a video about making booze out of trash what did you expect btw I read this just as it happened
Lets see if we can take some dirt and trash and... Commit a felony😂😂😂
Love the new video! and the look forward to seeing new ones each week
That was a fun start to the day! Great video!
Yo I’m the 666th like on the video.
Also, Mountain Dew was originally created as a syrup to mix with moonshine.
Also you should try making wine later. My parents started make wine before lockdown using plums which were super ripe & almost rotten. They didn’t distill it but just added yeast, water & plums and just fermented it. But maybe later in the series you can make it the old fashioned Greek way.
Notification Gang!!!
I really love that tiny dumpster furnace

You had a bit of liquor before writing this comment, haven't you?
17:42
Is that an invisible fire? Because theres a chance thats FULL of METHANOL
Edit: Invisible with outside lighting outshining it.
Ethanol also has a nearly invisible flame, especially in outside light. Indoors you may see a faint blue glow, but sunlight will easily completely outshine it.
You will never be able to make methanol in concentrations strong enough to do damage at home, it is a very common myth. The reason people die or go blind is adulterated alcohol, alcohol that was mixed with a non drinking alcohol.
@@MaliohammadDesigns Thats a relief...
I love Lil' Dumpster, so cute
This is a comment on help with silk and worm grunting if you ever want to do that again
silk:I would suggest having a spool that hangs above the boiling pot and a small jig that has a hole drilled into a peice of wood so that the cocoons dont get piled up on top of it also I would suggest boiling them a bit longer they seemed to be a bit too sticky
Worm grunting: I think you should make the peice that goes into the ground out of metal so to better transmit sound also make the part without the ridges the one that you put into the ground so you dont have to break your back to do it and the last thing ima say...is...I got one of these from a video...and the other from dirty jobs(aka one of the best tv shows that are live action in my personal opinion) and if you made it this far...thanks for reading through all of my senseless ramblings😛

Ambulocetus nooooo, next week it’s how to make the common household items (from ancient methods and components). THEN the pump and dialysis machine 😂
I got weirdly excited to read the name on that distiller tank thing in the distillery.
It's from a town quite close to me. In Germany.
And one of my favourite alternative/indie punk rock bands comes from there 😅
Finally a fitting drink for this year!
To be clear: home distillation is only dangerous because you're mixing heat and combustible vapours. The amount of methanol naturally produced is not particularly dangerous. It's removed from commercial products mostly because it tastes bad, and because of the huge quantities brewed (and, if you're distilling anything at home, you should also remove it, don't get me wrong. It's just not naturally produced in large quantities)
The idea of moonshine making you blind comes from the fact that the US government intentionally contaminated commercial ethanol with methanol during prohibition in order to poison people who tried to make their own drinks from it. It was a revolting act of state-sanctioned violence, not the result of dangerous distillation practices.
Sir people are making basement hooch!
President: Dear god thats terribly dangerous.
what are we going to do
President: Poison them

They're keeping distance, so it could be for audio reasons.
Or, it's like most people at work - they have to wear it, but not forced to wear it *correctly*.
@@WintrBorn It's definitely for audio reasons.
Overall interesting idea. The only correction is that you definitely don’t have 100% ethanol. Ethanol forms an azeotrope (constant boiling mixture) at about 95% ethanol to 5% water so if you did a really thorough distillation you’d probably have 95%. If you wanted 100% there chemical methods you’d have to use to remove the final 5% water
HTME always has the best comment sections.
You're only breaking the law if you.
A. Sell it without paying taxes.
B. Exceed the Federal limits for production for home consumption.
I cannot recall the amounts exactly, but you can ferment so many gallons of wine, so many gallons of beer, and so many gallons ( IIRC ) of spirits.
I'll look it up and post the pertinent federal law and the limits.
Unfortunately no. It is illegal to distill alcohol without having either a distilled spirits permit or a federal fuel alcohol permit, and some states still regulate things even more strictly, like disallowing stills. That is why they had to register their still under the brewing company that they were working with this video.
@@KainYusanagi
Not that I disbelieve you, but I shall still double check my source.
@@caninedrill_instructor5861 Laws have been in place for such since the Prohibition era, as the distillery employee in the video noted. They don't change that easily, and something like this, without a LOT of fanfare. www.ttb.gov/distilled-spirits/penalties-for-illegal-distilling or the more direct law cited: www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/5601
