    You can make your own juice concentrates by freeze distilling. I've made my own apple juice concentrate with this method when there was a sale on apple juice. Had to reduce the amount of space somehow.
    Using heat will ultimately caramelize sugars and change flavor more than you expect.
    *My method was to pour an amount of apple juice into a cup (to allow for the expansion of water), put the cap on loosely and freeze the entire gallon solid. You can suspend the upended frozen block of apple juice with the lid off over a large jar to collect the concentrate. Sugars melt first (with flavor) this is your concentrate. Once your block has lost most color and mostly looks like a chunk of ice it's pretty much done. Save the meltwater for sun tea or other fermentable projects as it will still have a pleasant flavor and possibly some residual sugars (there doesn't have to be waste in this process).
    Hope you find this helpful. ✌️

      @cooliovonstufinwizen 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      This for sure. I've made several concentrates by heat reduction and it changes the flavor way too much. Freeze reduction is the way to go. This is how I avoid adding sugar to things like fruit wines since the sugar also changes the flavor. Make some watermelon or coconut wine this way and you'll never go back.

    Freezing fruits will help breakdown into a better flavor many times, when unfrozen it breaks down the cells when they expand. The pure vanilla is absolutely a must, so many people don’t use and and don’t know what they are missing.

      You're right. I always make my marmalade after having frozen the clementines or satsumas first.
      Saves a metricfuckton of prep time as well as unlocking a deeper flavour... 😋
      Oddly, I always put vanilla extract in my marmalade as well, and I don't really know why I even started - but now it makes perfect sense! 🫙🍊

    I'm new to destilling and have found that Jesse, bearded and board, and Bever diy are a fabulous source of information. The videos that the 3 of you produce have not only get me excited about destilling but also give me some idea of what to expect from my distillation. I've toasted my own wood. I've just run off my 2nd run ever. This was a mango Brandy that I'm aging on sugar maple. I've build my own pot still and toasted my own wood. None of this would have been possible without you thanks so much and keep making videos

    Lovely video as always! I would like to share with you guys a traditional apple liqueur recipe from Transylvania. It is the way the apple liquor is made for hundreds of years so if you want a taste of old school booze you should try this: 5 green apples, honey (to taste 2-7 tablespoons), 1 litre of vinars 45-55% ABV (that is wine moonshine or cognac before ageing), 1 litre of tescovina rachiu 45-55% ABV (it is a fermented and distilled spirit from unfermented grapes pomace. Add sugar and water to the pomace, let it ferment, distill and you have tescovina rachiu or tzuica de tescovina). Put all ingredients in a suitable jar and macerate for 1 month. Strain and enjoy or further age in mulberry wood barrels. Now... I know it may be difficult to get all this ingredients but you can substitute as following to get as close as possible: Distil some red demi-sweet wine (dry wine up to 4g/L sugar, demi-dry 4-12g/L sugar, demi-sweet 12-50g/L sugar, sweet over 50g/L sugar) that would be your vinars. Distil some white demi-dry wine that would be your tescovina rachiu. find some dry untoasted or charred mulberry wood to add in the jar. After one month strain, recover the wood and continue ageing until is finished. In winter when you sit by the fire you can drink it hot by boiling it briefly with some cinnamon and peppercorns. Enjoy!

    I'm going to give a secret for people who like to use the cream flavor vodka.. I'm going to give a small ratio and then you can turn that into bigger batches.. 5 lb of sugar 2 lb of cornmeal. Two handfuls of oatmeal. One to two handfuls of rice. 1 and 1/2 bags of marshmallow. 2x2 piece of grated ginger to put in your mash.. your moonshine will have a hint of cotton candy or some kind of cream as it goes down The aftertaste will be creamy or like cotton candy possibly even birthday cake and then you don't need the vodka cream

    Was just looking to do this myself! If I may suggest for testing purposes, malic acid and lactic acid can help you tweak the apple tart flavor and lactic acid can help with the buttery carmel ones. Also, a bit more tannin can file down the edges. Cinnamon and vanilla do a good job of that. Ceylon cinnamon tends to play well with vanilla and sweet, while cassia sort of sits on top in my opinion. You could play with that too.

    Excellent as always Jessie. Being an Aussie, Apple Crumble is still a go-to dessert for all our family dinners. Gotta give this one a crack (maybe with a bit of rhubarb also??). The oat crumble bit got me thinking about an ANZAC biscuit vodka 🤔🤔 The only apple concentrate I can think of being available in Oz is from an Apple Cider kit available from LHBS. At $30 - 40 a kit it may be on the expensive side, though a bit less work in preparation.

    My apple pie recipe, I start with making an apple wine, any apples or even store bought juice will work fine, and in the mash, I put apple pie spice mix and brown sugar to get to a 12% potential, when it's fermented, I let clear and rack several times till nice and clear looking. Then I pull out what I want to run through the still, and whats left of the wine, I back sweeten with brown sugar, pastuerize, and bottle as wine. I run the unsweetened stuff through the still, throw out the heads, then collect the spirit all the way till the end of the tails. Then put the heads hearts, and some of the tails in together for proofing down, and proof down with distilled water to around 110 proof, then I cut the spirit even more with some apple pie wine for color and flavor, comes out around 90 proof when done, and tastes like a classic apple pie, but in the form of a whiskey/brandy. I then age with toasted applewood chips and a little bit of charred white oak for a month or so, then strain, and cold crash and rack a few times to get the liquor cleared and then add just a bit of glycerin to smooth out, and let sit for another week, and presto.

I think it's really interesting that you used the apple brandy with a whisky in the second one. I'd try the following for next Easter: Apple brandy aged on french oak. Unaged apple shine (we call it mampoer here in SA) macerated on my favourite red/green apples. Once that's all done, I'd do apple juice, apples and the spices and then combined it all for about a 30 - 35%.

Brewing with cinnamon is tricky... Now I am not going to worry about it and ABV the heck out of it... and tone it down and flavor it up after stabilization. Then I can make sure to get the exact correct amounts.... it could be way fun as a 1 to 1.5 gallon batch of mead as well.

    One of my similar recipes only uses apple juice & NO WATER…to 40% from the highest abv. Saves watering it down or buying apple concentrate.
    Another great addition is apple wood. It deepens the apple flavour in an unexplainable way.
    Could you try various fruit brandy’s/liquor with the reciprocal woods, in a video?
    I made a cherry brandy with a neutral white dog, cherries & cherry wood. Maple wood in a whiskey. Apple moonshine with apple wood. It’s an extraordinary flavour boost that’s something to behold. Get wood chips from the bbq shop, for smoking. Any other non toxic, dry wood branches work well too.

Then follow your cooked apple pie recipe or your apple crumble recipe either of those should be excellent. I believe the rolled oats shine gives it more body and filling sort of like you can chew on it. Just the way one of the old timers used to do it back around where I grew up in the Appalachian mountains here in the United States.

    In New England we use Macintosh, Macoun, Cortland, Granny Smith, or a mixture of varieties for cooking.
    Some folks use other apples, but those are the basics.

  • @durtydaddyrc
    @durtydaddyrc 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Granny Smith is a little more tart witch gives more of an apple taste if you use red or hybrid apples it gives more of a candy taste, and canned apple pie filling works good as well if you are on a time crunch

    O and this vid reminds me of my mom's apple crumble that she makes fresh in the fall from the apple tree that grows in there back yard it's probably over a hundred years old and you have never had a crumble till you've had one made with apples that were picked the same day 👌

    I kinda like using crushed apples for the fermentation process. Particularly the Red Delicious. I'll season the mash with vanilla, cinnamon and brown sugar. I use a champagne yeast. When I run it through my 8 jar rig (half gallon Mason jars). The first 2 jars will have granny smith with nutmeg, the 2nd set will have red Delicious with vanilla, the third set will have a mix of granny smith and red Delicious with cinnamon and the 4th set will have either a fireball whiskey or spiced rum. Depending how strong I want it to be (whether or not its for personal consumption or gifting) I may run it through again. I'll store it for roughly 3-4 months in a stainless 55 gallon barrel with charred oak, oats and sliced apples in a bag that hangs from a hook on the lid.

    If you make apple pie moonshine again, try using the Granny Smiths and Brayburns with a Fuji apple thrown in the maceration. Fujis have this rich and mildly tart flavor which could add some depth to the brew.

      Yeah, I enjoy seeing what happens and how it turns out. I just can’t stand behind it being called “moonshine” because from what I can see it’s far from it. With a little research though the recipes can be found. Personally I take the ones I find, tweak them to my taste. After making a couple batches you’ll find what you like. I started dabbling with wine, many great recipes can easily go from a great wine recipe to a great brandy recipe once it’s distilled.

    I use concentrated apple juice but regular apple juice will work I put it a pot bring it to a boil I put two cups of brown sugar in it and six cinnamon sticks. I turn the heat down and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. You have to stir every couple minutes but it taste just like apple pie. It will also have your whole house smelling like apple pie as well.

    My mother made the best apple pie with the recipe handed down from her mother. The recipe always called for granny Smith apples. The thing I always thought about the "apple pie" moonshine is that it was missing the crust flavor. It was more like an apple pie filling moonshine. I was going to make my own and try to incorporate something to make that crust flavor to come through, but I got so sloppy drunk on the stuff that I never wanted to drink it again. So I never got around to making my own version.

    • @escapetherace1943

      if you do try what he did but with actual golden cooked pie crust instead of crumble.
      because while I like both I'm not going to lie, the pie > crumble EVERY time, there is absolutely no contest to a good actual apple pie.

    The third is closest to mine, but I use an electric roaster pan to slowly reduce everything but apples and liquor. I simmer it for about 8 hours, and it's basically a mulled cider (also use cider with mother, as well as juice). After it's coooled, I add the liquor. I don't cook apples in the mix, but put apple slices in the jar, along with a cinnamon stick. I put the sealed jars up for at least a month to age, and turn the jars (NOT SHAKE) weekly to keep the flavor even

    When I made a batch, I combined 3 different recipes. I should have wrote it down. It tastes just like apple pie . It didn't taste strong but after a jar, you sure felt it. I left the cinnamon sticks in and didn't put any wood in the jars. I think it contained 3 different alcohols.
