In this video, I will be checking if you can guess the proof of your product by shaking the jar and looking at the bubbles. #guesstheproof #shaketest #moonshine
Great Video Bro. That split screen edit was Awesome! Keep up the good work! Are you going to distill those two washes and a mash soon? Love watching your stuff!
If you do it enough and then test and see what the actual proof is you an get pretty darn close… half the time I just eye test mine now ..ol timers didn’t have fancy thing to test with like we do
Hi Natalie, Having tried this for the first time I have to say it is something I will be trying to perfect over time, but I know it will be super hard to get right.
When i do the shake test i found out that Under 100 proof their No bubbles. Ive tested with a Hydrometer and shook after testing, No bubbles under 100 proof. I only run an all grain, Crushed Corn, maybe that makes a difference?
Hi Brother, I broke 2 time other day in the same way like 2 minutes apart down to only 1 haha. nned to invest in one more for that exact logic that having 2 you will not break one.
To quote "The Anthem" by Good Charlotte: Shake it once, that's fine Shake it twice, that's okay Shake it three times, you're playing with yourself Like Beaver said, don't shake your alcohol too much... 😁
Hi Dave, I have to say that it was super intersting spending a few week testing this, but on the other had is was really hard when the points difference was like 5% 10 proof.
@@BEAVERDIY With time practice, I think you could get down to that level as the old moonshiners used to, but, for an educated guess, being within 25 points isn't too bad. How are the scheduled power outages treating you?
Very well done. Thank you from the bottom of my glass. (I mean heart).
Thank you Robert.
Cheers
Awesome job! Thank you.
Good vid! Bubbles is a great, at hand, technique to get a gauge on what's in the bottle.. Not all of us label things well ;)
you label things? - lol

Hi Sober,
I have done 2 of the 3 runs doing the last one this weekend, been busy at work.
Video will be up soon,
Cheers
Great shakedown on how to estimate your proof!
So glad to have you back broer.
Nee echt, heb je gemist en ben blij dat je er weer bent.
Thank you Broer, been wanting to try this skill for a long time.
Echt blij om terug te zijn
Thanks mate always wanted someone to do something like this keep up the great work 👍🏻
Hi Nigel,

Great Video!! Next must be the "tongue tip test" ;-)
Yes. I think - this is good for HIGH/ LOW ABV testing. Not for dilution of course. :)
My hydrometer sinks to the bottom of my shine why is that ?

Great video my Friend 2 hydrometers if you have tow you will nut break one cheers

Thanks beavers it’s always fun
Thanks for this. I have been wandering why the guys on moonshiners on DSTV discovery channel do that.
Hi Markal,
Been wanting to do this for so long for the same reason hahah.
Cheers
I've been trying to do this ever since I've seen "Moonshiners" on TV...incredibly they can tell within 5-10 ABV. I still rely on my alcometer...lol
Hi Steve,
I will be trying to get this right, never know if I am ever lucky enough to be on the show.
But will surely not be as accurate as Alcometer.
To quote "The Anthem" by Good Charlotte:
Shake it once, that's fine
Shake it twice, that's okay
Shake it three times, you're playing with yourself
Like Beaver said, don't shake your alcohol too much... 😁
That's Frank Zappa......"Disco Boy".
Hahaha, that is so true
I was watching this show about American Indians on a reservation shaking bootleg alcohol to supposedly see if its real alcohol
Lekker skud broer!! 😁😁

Hell yea that’s good. And if you go to like 40% it clouds up a lot. Good tips.
Hi Shaman,
Yeah it was super intersting to see the difference still hard to just guess without a base line but fun to try.
A good handy guesstimater for the fumble fingered who manage to break their last alchometer at the wrong time. Well worth knowing.
