@3:30 I’ve heard it called shrink-flatoin. We have what’s called a grab-bag size of potato chips “crisps” that back in the 1990’s had six ounces of product in the bag now it’s something like 4 - 4.5 ounces in the same size bag and the price is about triple what it was
I had a crazy idea somewhere through this to distill all the separate flavours into separate bottles mixed in with colouring and different density bases so that you can create a layered cocktail that looks and tastes like a big mac. Possibly a LOT of effort for something no one would ever ask for a second glass of.
Always wanted to play around with using lamb fat to wash whisky! Love the idea to distill it pechuga style, a classic Sunday roast distillate with potatoes and the like would be pretty iconic
Vodka Suggestion- Corn. All Corn. I recently picked up some Tito's vodka from Texas. If I was told correctly it is made from 100% corn and pot distilled, god only knows how many times. It has a clear and light flabor, slightly organic and slightly sweet. It's lovely. Cashew infused vodka might be good... BUT, Why not try making something real with the spirits you make. Rigatoni Vodka is an Absolut favorite around our house (see what I did there?).
As an American, I fully approve of this video. I'd definitely try it if I saw it at a party. Not sure if I'd spend money buying it, but I'd try it if someone offered it to me.
My uneducated opinion about flavor order: 1) Sauce comes first because it's the least solid and will quickly get out into the vodka. 2) Pickles are probably next because they do have some juices in the cut sides to leech out. Their lettuce basically has no flavor so I would be surprised if you could taste it. 3) Smoke .. I'm sure they'd deny it, but I would bet that they use artificial smoke of some sort in there. If it was in the burger, that would leech out the slowest. If you'd put the BigMac in a blender first it would've been a weird and different result in my opinion, and NO I'm not suggesting you put yourself through this again! :)
I can't speak to a New Zealand Big Mac , but US Big Macs have shrunk . I'm pretty sure they used to be 2 ,1/4 pound burgers , and I'm pretty sure the bun used to be a little larger as well . But now the patties are 1.6 ounces . So they've cut 'em by more than half . I hadn't had one in decades ( I prefer a double quarter with cheese ) , but helped my buddy move and he fed us lunch . Grabbed a bunch of various things from McD's . I grabbed a Big Mac and I was REALLY disappointed with what it was .
Bizarre but very interesting experiment. Really got me thinking. Thanks!

fun video as always. Love your channel. Im from the netherlands and our country makes a sort of vodka from grapes and that is called brandewijn (like a distilled wine). It is an old beverage and not very common nowadays but i think that is distilled with a column to get a kind of neutral drink. They also use that as a base spirit for liquors like our national Oranjebitter (orange bittered liquor with orange peels, cardamom and anise).
Now I'm wondering about roasted marrow bones. Also I know too many people who like whisky pickle-backs for the fact that you can distill pickle flavor not to be worth something.
That was so funny,and cool. I get what you’re trying to do, learning. Experimenting, new color to your palette, discovering things you didn’t know before. Awesome dude, thanks for sharing. I’ve had good success with a rice, and oat vodka, angel yellow. Comes out fairly neutral, creamy, and a bit sweet. Secret was a slight lactic bloom before stripping run. Cheers mate.
Amazing Jesse this is why I'm still subscribed to you . I love your vibe . Willing to try anything and learning from it !! Love the bits when you bring Erin in and her face just said it all today 😂. Keep up the good work love the meme spirits and still spirits devices . Peace out dude all from the other side of the world here in the UK 👍
For your next vodka how about sugar beets? (Following on from your beetroot vodka) they're 20% sugar straight out of the ground and can be grown in NZ. (Cool climate answer to sugarcane)
@@someaussiebloke4487I've heard cherry wood smoked malt works well. I also recently tried some fresh cherry wood for aging and it's coming out tasting like black cherry pop.
I have been watching you since before you built your own still. That sounds a little creepy, but this is by far probably the strangest thing I've seen you distill, and you've distilled lots of "meme" spirits.😂😂😂 Cheers to your creativity! 🤠🥃
Dunno about NZ, but in Australia maccas now sells the big Mac sauce by itself as a dipping sauce. Maybe just try 10-20 sauce containers of big Mac sauce?
I freaking love these cause you give my ideas to try but you take out a lot of the mistakes for me and being a poor Brewer that makes a big difference to my pocket book lol
First: Apple pie would be a good 4th of July meme spirit for next year. But more than just an infusion. Second: the meme spirits are one of my favorites because it’s fast and really interesting. My friends love trying the random stuff I make. Third: vodka suggestion: all grain, but with a non normal grain for vodka, like a rye or rice or something.
Try it with some Chinese style Teriyaki strips or some good beef jerky ground up look for the ground up jerky that comes in a round chewing tobacco style container. That stuff is the best.
So I'm still thinking about that pickleback thing, and I remembered that a few years ago Whiskeytribe did a video about distilling an already aged whisky that was apparently really delicious(the distillate not the whisky they were re-distilling), so now I'm wondering if you threw some pickles or pickle relish into a whiskey and distilled it would you have something great, something in need of some tweaking, something that people who like picklebacks will like, or something awful that should never be spoken of again.
Sounds like a good marinade for beef roast or steaks, save some and try it. I'll bet you won't be disappointed. Of course you would have to add other things to it.
I think if you controlled for condiments and such, you could make something good to add to Bloody Marys or something. I could also see a maple + bacon pancake whiskey
Here is a idea for a future video, what about making liquors like frangelico or other nutty spirits. Keep that first idea of filling out your own bar alive
Jessie....come on mate...yeah highlight the actual distillation and the quirky ingredients.....but next time lets take a moment to celebrate the new chunk of wood you use on the airstill ! B roll please ! hahaha....You know you're close to 1/2 Million subs when you get a new bit of wood hahaha. All the best
You might've said it before but what's the smallest amount of 4.5% alcohol you'd run through an air still for something weird like this. I got the urge to try to distil chocolate cider now 😛 Oh... distilled milkshake.
Before I got in to the video I made the guess that you're probably going to get something that closely mimics the special sauce more than anything else! And when you started describing that you could maybe taste mustard I started nodding with "yep, here comes the special sauce". The sauce is basically mayo, ketchup, pickles, paprika, vinegar and a buttload of sugar with a few other things. I can't imagine the bread really contributing much, nor the lettuce. Maybe the cheese is in there somewhere?
Can't listen to the grumblers. This video (and all of your meme spirit videos) are fun and great learning opportunities as you've said. I enjoyed it and look forward to the next one! (Next time, perhaps consider distilling Turkish Delights with a generic whiskey or bourbon! I bet it'll actually taste good!)
@@GorillaGlueEnthusiast Not Just corn Most of The time its a Mix of corn grains aus seeds so its a nice Experiment to Test how it will Ferment and Taste
@Xerxis1988h ah I see, I apologize. We just call that bird seed in the U.S. I could see that being an interesting experiment, nuts and seeds as opposed to grains.
Sounds like a great base for a Bloody Mary
Aww yeah for sure
🍔The best part about vodka. The cocktail translation.🍔
I was thinking roast lamb with rosemary for a Caesar. Some crazy combos could be made.
I was thinking the same thing
That was awesome.
Watching you get gradually more excited and then Erin just nope-ing out at the end. 😂
With the nut and seed flavors coming through you could potentially do a trail mix distillation and get something pretty interesting...
That was definitely one of the coolest episodes I've seen in a long time. and one of the funnier ones.

But very fun as party shots

Big Mac vodka? This is so violently American, I love it!! Excellent idea for the 4th of July
I think it lacks gun powder residue and eagle feathers. And obviously it should be a pure corn vodka.
I fermented prune juice to around 8% just to see what it tasted like. It was like Barqs root beer. Doing odd stuff leads to breakthroughs.
Weird, I’d expect it to taste more like dr pepper

It's takes people like you coming up with newish things to keep life interesting!!
Always great to see Erin!

The era of distilled savory flavors is in
I can't speak to a New Zealand Big Mac , but US Big Macs have shrunk . I'm pretty sure they used to be 2 ,1/4 pound burgers , and I'm pretty sure the bun used to be a little larger as well . But now the patties are 1.6 ounces . So they've cut 'em by more than half . I hadn't had one in decades ( I prefer a double quarter with cheese ) , but helped my buddy move and he fed us lunch . Grabbed a bunch of various things from McD's . I grabbed a Big Mac and I was REALLY disappointed with what it was .
That was crazy and it was quite a bit of fun. Always nice to see you bride. Thank you!
I think an apple wood maple smoked bacon bourbon would be a good idea to try!
Roast lamb with rosemary and thyme in a whiskey could be very interesting
Yum
Bizarre but very interesting experiment. Really got me thinking. Thanks!

I love this. It is so cool to see the different flavors coming off at different times.
It is a Pechuga mezcal, usually made in Oaxaca. it has a smokey earthy flavor with agave.
Damn they mix chicken with everything in Oaxaca
Now I'm wondering about roasted marrow bones. Also I know too many people who like whisky pickle-backs for the fact that you can distill pickle flavor not to be worth something.
The special sauce is basically 1000 island dressing.
That was so much fun to watch.
Keep doing the weird ones. As you said, if you learn something, it was worth the effort.
I like these types of videos. I like the other one too. But, it’s nice to see what can be done. Variety is the spice of life.

Here's an idea, perhaps hickory wood, or apple wood... Maple bacon whisky of some form?
bacon whiskey in general 👍
@@jakebenoit1458 another idea I have heard is cherry wood 👌
@@someaussiebloke4487I've heard cherry wood smoked malt works well. I also recently tried some fresh cherry wood for aging and it's coming out tasting like black cherry pop.
MAPLE BACON WHISKEY!!!!! LETS GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
In Alaska we have what's called a McKinley Mac it's an Alaskan Size Big Mac
I would love for you to revisit a rice vodka for your next batch. Maybe with different types of rice, maybe using koji?
I have been watching you since before you built your own still. That sounds a little creepy, but this is by far probably the strangest thing I've seen you distill, and you've distilled lots of "meme" spirits.😂😂😂

See now I really wanna try this mixing some vodka with some curry sauce...
The more you know!!! Thank you for doing this so we don't have to!
I freaking love these cause you give my ideas to try but you take out a lot of the mistakes for me and being a poor Brewer that makes a big difference to my pocket book lol
Cool idea. So I now ask have you tried Reese's peanut butter cups, the white chocolate ones?
Age it in a beer-cask for a hangover-cure 😂
Next vodka idea?….Soju or sochu. I haven’t seen anybody do it. Love you man!
Pitorro shine from PR also has a piece of meat or fruit thrown in it
You mad bastard. Love it. 😀

Rice wodka would be interesting
That was too funny lol. "Big Mac farts I am not trying that" haha.
now I'm curious about what a soup spirit would be like
Try it with some Chinese style Teriyaki strips or some good beef jerky ground up look for the ground up jerky that comes in a round chewing tobacco style container. That stuff is the best.
3:58 I think you meant you're going to let the spirit "Big Mac-erate"
Big Mac is interesting.....but I noticed that you don't have a Fish & Chips Whiskey yet....
In New Zealand that would be Fush 'n' Chups!!
What about throwing a big Mac in the blender with vodka???? Thick madness and dinner with a drink!!!
watching the vids more and more, was questioning, is this just a regular water distiller? if so I can start using it at home :)
Coles (Aussie supermarket) have their versions of the Big Mac and Cheeseburger sauces... this gives me ideas 🤔
Your a madman, Jesse😮 ! 😂 Cheers from Cambridge

Whiskey tribe did an entire mcdonald's breakfast a few years back.
It's in their 'will it distill? coffee' video
Did I hear "bacon in a whiskey"...?
YES, PLEASE!
Fully expect KFC and it's 11 herbs and spices will be attempted soon
Sounds like a good marinade for beef roast or steaks, save some and try it. I'll bet you won't be disappointed. Of course you would have to add other things to it.
Local distillers don't peat their malts, they Mesquite them. Try and wood, you'll have a unique and beautiful experience
I think if you controlled for condiments and such, you could make something good to add to Bloody Marys or something. I could also see a maple + bacon pancake whiskey
Круто брат как всегда ты лучший)
Something smoked over a hibachi grill.....anyone who's been to Tanukis cave in Auckland will instantly know the smell....that in a bottle 🤤
I love the meme spirits!
ps, Bacon whiskies are amazing!
stupid question... wouldnt brewing that in a cheese cloth bag like a gross tea bag be cleaner when you run it through the still? cheers mate!
@Stillit, Have you ever tried making Black Mead?
Here is a idea for a future video, what about making liquors like frangelico or other nutty spirits. Keep that first idea of filling out your own bar alive
A blind taste test of the meme spirits would be very intriguing, and a bloody good prank on your friends!
Think you need to try bacon something
Thanks for all you do
Maybe a sweet tea vodka. Sounds fun. Or a strawberry banana flavored vodka.
Turkey and gravy vodka for Thanksgiving =)
Jessie....come on mate...yeah highlight the actual distillation and the quirky ingredients.....but next time lets take a moment to celebrate the new chunk of wood you use on the airstill ! B roll please ! hahaha....You know you're close to 1/2 Million subs when you get a new bit of wood hahaha. All the best
Would french fries distil into a vodka? Could you get the cooked/crisp and salted flavour into the product?
Yes. Arby’s actually made curly fry-infused vodka and sold it for a while in the states
It's always funny to me to see celebratory videos three days after canada day. I think "Oh the video is late" & then I realize its' for the usa lol
You might've said it before but what's the smallest amount of 4.5% alcohol you'd run through an air still for something weird like this. I got the urge to try to distil chocolate cider now 😛
Oh... distilled milkshake.
Do you think it's possible to ferment and distill ice cream?
I wasn't very American but I'm making mead from V and Manuka honey also mead with L&P and clover honey
Suggestion, flaked corn vodka, please please please

Meme spirits is peak, don't listen to the haters. Its one of those "Don't ask why, ask why not" situations.
Yes make maple bacon whiskey

She approached your test with a healthy dose of trepidation.
I got it. Expensive, but a maple based rum, with maple bacon in the final run?
The "Big VodMac".
I'd order this if it was at a McDonalds.

Bourbon from dried cat food.
Try well fried bacon. I'm thinking that would make an interesting "peated" spirit.
You should do pizza! New to the channel great work!
Well, I have new plans for the weekend 😂
Dude a big Mac, apparently the sky is the limit, what's next Rallys fries? Wait...
Now I have a new weekend project!
You could do fried hashbrowns for your potato base
A real kiwi flavour suggestion, roast lamb and mint
Laughing til I can not laugh more ... I will by a AirStill just to cook a big mac for my wife
Don't apologize, that was fun
Thought. take each part of a burger, beef, bun, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, sauce and distill them individually to see what comes through.
I always see you using that little air still. Do you have a real still?
The air stills are great for meme spirits and testing purposes.
Just an Idea but how about an Orange Vodka? Not orange infused but same as the potato vodka just with oranges...
Yes, proper smoked roast!!! Declicois!
I m check. Very good
