I learned more from this video that I have from every other professional, large production video on distilling whiskey. Thanks Daniel.
Totally. Done some good tours that have been more or less this video, but Dani boi and Rex have a way of explaining things so it sticks.
Couldn't agree more. Just a constant stream of easy to understand information.
I agree, Just wondering what the best method to "water down" the finished whiskey to the desired proof is? Dump the water in or do it slowly over a period of time?
2nd this. Thank you Daniel!
Same
That is the most straight forward, comprehensive description of making 'shine/whiskey I have seen. Moonshine 101+ Bravo
Teaching Owen Wilson how whisky is made. Great episode!
HAHA right?!
I thought he was Jeff Spicoli
wow
Wow
Owen Spicoli Joe Wilson
My Whiskey drinking proficiency has jumped 1000% in the four days since I started watching your channel! Thanks to you I now have 3 bottles in my cupboard and am drinking like a gentleman and not like the heathen I was. Thanks and expect me to become a patron soon!
thank you for being here! 👍
My story is exactly the same!
Daniel in his element.. someone one asking questions that actually wants to know. This is a great episode. I learnt so much
I love how patient Daniel was in explaining the process of making whiskey. You can feel his love through his discussion
That bottle and medallion (fiddley bit) - OUTSTANDING!!!
Going through the archives today and found the introduction of Deb 0:52 and I got a bit choked up.
The best "how its made" video you've put out. Brought all the pieces together in one nice package. Well done!
Pure passion and a man who loves his job on display in this video. Daniel should watch and learn from Rex!
I’m going to watch that lesson again and again. Thanks for the video. I hope to one day try a bottle of your whiskey.
As a native Texan who lives not far (relative to Texas) from Austin, I love getting to see the distillery start from the ground up. I can’t wait to be able to buy a bottle of your whiskey and know all of the work, time and energy that went into it.
i just fell in love with this channel thanks to that video, l learned more just now about how whiskey is made then ever before.... i did know how alcohol is made but having the barrels effect on it explained to me was huge.
Owen Wilson asked some great questions. Being a complete whiskey noob, he asked a lot of questions that I had as well!
Wonderful episode
Rex! I'm happy you let Daniel nerd out and explain things in depth! Do you guys have a plan of your own core expressions in bourbon, rye and single malts?
Oh these guys are going to do it all. Can’t wait to see it in shelves everywhere. With so many MB’s looking forward to this. Liquor stores will be getting requests like crazy.
I'm reading Tasting Whiskey by Lew Bryson and I had just read the chapter describing the whiskey making process before watching this video. This video really helped me understand more fully what I had read. I really admire Daniel's passion and, for lack of a better word, nerdiness for the scientific side of whiskey. I also love Rex in all his ball busting glory! Since stumbling across these channels I have purchased both a glencairn glass and a few new whiskeys and started attempting to develop some semblance of sommelier skills. I also have joined the tribe and become a MB. So thank you for all your videos, I enjoy them and appreciate the knowledge in all of them. I hope someday to own one of the beautiful bottles of whiskey that is born in your guys distillery. Till the next episode, here's to fighting, stealing, and drinking!
Matt Rodriguez , thank you! We’re glad to have you in the Tribe.
you guys have talked about cuts before but I never really got it tell right now. Even though it was short, man that explained so much. Thank you
Yep basicly the process of deciding what to put into bottles and what to add to the feints for the next go round.
Some inaccuracies when you explained the "brewing" part. You don't boil the grains, you add hot water to mash the grain and extract the sugars. This sugary water is the wort. This is then boiled to sterilise it (and when hops are added in brewing) before cooling and adding yeast
Except no hops for whisky. That's also why it's not called beer as beer is by definition an ale with hops used as conservative. Ales can have all kind of other things used as preservatives: juniper, pepper, cloves, cinnamon, etc.
But in the case of whisky no preservatives whatsoever as it's distilled so quickly after beeing brewed that there's just no point.
That being said, i'd love to taste a whisky where hops were used. Might be a nice experiment. And the those to gentlemen might be the only one that could make it happen as they are small scale and could do just a batch to test it.
Amazing! I already knew the process, but never really knew how different flavors are achieved. Fascinating stuff. Thank you Daniel
I have a mich higher appreciation for all the distiller teams working to keep whiskeys consistent.
Easily the best introductory lesson to whisk(e)y making us ignorant enthusiasts could ask for. Before today I couldn't really describe the process but now I actually feel like I understand a whole new side of it. Definitely watching this one a bunch of times.
Yep, dang good 101!
Such a great video! I learned so much - awesome explanation Daniel! You won the fiddley bit challenge in my opinion!!
Great stuff! Love how that guy just wanted to learn the process and how kind and professional Daniel was in giving his instruction.
I literally took a class about this the day before this video was posted. We must be connected by the whiskey spirits
One of the best and easiest to understand explanations.
Super insightful even if it is last minute! I’ve never fully understood cuts until now!!!
Gotta love Spicoli Joe~The best tutorial ever~ nice and sweet~ best explanation for the heart heads and tails.
Now I drink stuff and know things too! Thanks guys, very educational. Coming from a beer making background it is fun to see the differences between the processes. Stay magnificent you bastards!
Wow.... Daniel is so knowledgeable and smart. He's a great teacher Abbott Whiskey. Love the channel, I just found it today but I'm glad I found it
That was a nice concise rundown actually! Looks like fun!
This was super interesting. Plus that bottle is gonna look great, might make it into my new infinity bottle
Great Flute. I wish I had more money.
Couple points:
Yeast don't die after fermentation, they go dormant and can be reused.
The "Backset" (whats left over in the still after a run) can be used to sour the next fermentation. It's where the term "Sour Mash" came from. Also can be used to flavor the alcohol distilled by adding small amounts. Or be used in a dunder/muck pit for making rum.
Anyone wanting to learn more: Watch "Still It" videos.
Jessie has come a long way and is a straight shooter when it comes to distilling info
Don't tell. Don't sell. Cheers!
Very insightful, I really love when Daniel gets all professor like and science-y you really end up learning something by watching the videos.
Yeah I know I learned an extreme amount from watching this video it had great content way to go guys I wish I could come down and see your Distillery
I was waiting for Daniel to begin caressing the still and wispering "my precious." Great episode!
Hahaha, I half thought the same!
Daniel...best explanation of the distillation process for NOOBS I've ever seen on TH-cam...good job!$$
Thank you Joe for asking the right questions!
Cant wait to see more of Deb and her black magic voodo! (She would likely be insulted by that, so SCIENCE haha)
Ayyyyeeeeeeee!!!! We have action! Congrats team :)
you may have answered this somewhere along the line...but do you have an anticipated release date for your first bottling? Rex's masterful plan of ultimate mooching may involve significant use of that proofing parrot.(might want a nanny cam)
This entire set up looks fancy AF. I wish I could be involved in something like this, it looks like so much fun. I may never get to make my own whiskey or do anything remotely close to this, but I am grateful you guys are taking the initiative to bring us all along for the ride.
Gromit , we’re grateful to have you with us. 👍
This improv walk through was excellent. Well done! I love how you have about half a dozen stills to do your runs! #spoiled
This channel is amazing! I must watch more, I must come to the brewery someday.
thanks! glad to have you here.
@@WhiskeyTribe can I ask you guys here you got those copper tees on your colomn
whats also amazing about distilling is its been traced back to 2000 BC china (although it was very different) then went wild through the silk road to the west to roam then around 7th century was perfected in what we use today.
Congratulations, I impatiently await your first for sale. Maybe by the time it's available, I will have started drinking again since at present it's been about 10 years since my last drink. Now you can (still) the heart of a lover. Good day.
Every video I watch the anticipation grows for finding a barrel and aging my own batch.
The Eagle lives!! Great video guys. Thanks.
Excellent episode guys, truly fantastic, I learned so much from this one, this was exactly what I was looking for!
Also, Joe was a really cool guy! 👍🏻
Man, you guys. This building you built looks great!!!
I was trying learn how to make whiskey as I am going to make my own the next couple days for the first time but I can’t hate... still very entertaining and great gold mine of information. Keep in mind first timers want to make there own and you are ranking on this keyword
Hey Rex and Daniel thanks for saying you’ll let a local farmer come collect the grain something like that can really help out a ranch and I will agree it is some of the best feed to give though it’s a pain to dump. Gets stuck in any container you use
I like so much how Daniel talks about whisk(e)y stuff.
This may be your best episode yet. Congrats on the distillery.
Science and whiskey! What could be better?
Best episode ever!
Hi Deb. Can’t wait to taste your whiskey good thing you stopped Rex right there. You don’t want to give him the idea that he can add whatever he wants 😂
What a great explanation! Thanks guys
11:36 Does Daniel mean the opposite? I don't have the experience or knowledge to argue, but I would think that a stronger proof would evaporate more (since alcohol evaporates faster than water).
Not saying Daniel is wrong, but asking.
This was so fascinating. Awesome video you guys.
i was researching whisky distilling as a possible line of work or my future and must say good choice going with a T-500 with an alembic hood it should come out pretty smexy for testing runs. Other than that tho i know (pardon my French) fuck all about equipment so ill leave you guys to what you do best ;) much love
So not ready for that fiddly bit for the bottles. So god damned BIG LEAGUE! Exciting times.
Shaun Garland , YAAASSS. aiming for the cheap seats.
I am so interested in everything whiskey. I just wish I could enjoy it the way I see others enjoy it. My tongue seems to pick out the Bitterness in any alcohol, including wine and beer. (sigh) But I still love the process and smell from good whiskey. This vid got me to sub and hit the notifications! keep em coming!
this video was just awesome! thank you so much!
Hurray! The first appearance of Deb!!!
The history behind the barrel as far as I know is that British instead of building new barrels used wine barrels or Porto barrels but in States due to the new world new forest new barrel for whiskey, bourbon and rye. Where as Scottish and Irish malt whisky uses an old wine barrel which changes the taste and aroma.
I found you guys while researching and LOVE both of your channels. Thanks for popping my whiskey cherry (monkey shoulder) and damn this was GREAT information even for someone who is on his first bottle.
Yay I got my “How It’s Made” video!
Ohhh that little Balcones barrel is intriguing to me. 11.56
Great episode. So nice to learn a little from you guys. Thank you
Explaining how Whiskey is made to the guy from Fast Times at Ridgemont High, great episode.
"But Mr. Wittington, isn't this our Whiskey?"
That is a sexy plated colum you have there!
I seem to recall you having to manufacture all(much) of your kit out of what you could find lying around the countryside.. I don't think Danny and Rex would have made it through that gauntlet.
@Leadguitarman1 yeah man! Hahaha
Let the eagle soer!!!
Verry exelent job Debb!!! dont let Daniel use the still alone on a dark windy summers knight.... who knows what will happen??????👻👻👻
Great job every one!!
The fermented liquid is indeed beer, albeit very green beer. Wort is the resultant sugary liquid from the mash prior to fermenting. I'm clueless about the distilling process but I've brewed plenty of beer.
Interesting stuff. One thing that surprised me was that lower alcohol percentage in the barrel increased evaporation. Alcohol being far more volatile than water I would have expected the opposite. I'm guessing it must have something to do with water being able to pass through the membranes in to wood but alcohol's larger molecules can't. If that's the case, your evaporative losses wouldn't be quite so bad as they would be primarily water and your end product, while less volume would be a higher proof.
Great video. I just moved to Texas but I’ve been watching y’alls videos for a while. Gonna have to make the few hour drive to Austin at some point!
This was an amazing episode 💯🥃
I was hoping surfer dude was gonna say" Wooh Narley Dood" let's Party Bra!!! 😁🇺🇸💖
joe just gave you a grate idea!!!! i too want to know
Hey guys excellent video, cannot wait to get one of your bottles
The whiskey eagle returns?!?!?! 17:07
So.... technically at standard pressure when you evaporate alcohol you get a little water mixed in (h20 and etoh have an azotrope) also the more plates in the still the closer you can get to the azotrope (if I remember right that's around 75-85% or 150-175 proof)
Love Daniel's explanation on how to make whiskey. From my knowledge though, the foreshots are to be thrown away because they are essentially poison. Is that right?
Yes, the first runnings are methanol, you don't want to drink that shit, you want ethanol
Rex with the clutch episode idea.
Good on you
M. Morath , thanks on you.
BRB starting my own whiskey company!
That explanation.... sooo good!
So I have a Brewzilla with both the alembic head as well as the T-500 reflux column. I also make beer. That's a hard combo to beat for about $1,000. If I needed to save some moolah, same combo, alembic pot still only. Glad to see y'all use 'em. Guess I'm not a total knucklehead after doing my own research.
About damn time this episode was made. Nice pringle fiddley bit.
Really cool video guys!
This is what i signed up for. well done i look forward to future informative videos
Thank you for this, this is awesome, Y'ALL ARE AWESOME. I do have two questions for you. how much does the type of yeast used in the process effect the flavor of the whisky? Second what is it about copper that makes it an essential part of the process as opposed to using another metal?
Let's be honest Joe it the man haha how casually and easy he makes rex's job look. ie letting Daniel do all the talking and explaining
Love you guys🤗
Good video man! I'm looking to get started also. I have a $5000 still but haven't had much time to use it yet. I'm going to get it going right away though. Getting all the legal stuff all sorted out is for sure the hardest.
That was some magnificent Somm-ing, sir. Love the fiddly bits.
This man knows his shit would love a couple of tasters 👍👊🍺
I'd say that's a loose "interpretation" of how beer is made (can't speak for distillation, not my thing) :)
as a beer brewer, It's actually exactly how beer is made :p to a certain point at least.
Spicoli got a lesson in distilling whiskey!
I get jealous whenever they talk about Barrel number 12.
i like every vid i watch
