How Fruit Brandy Is Made
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 เม.ย. 2019
- Neven is a name you will know about in a few years when discussing fruit brandy. His attention to detail, respect to nature, and passion for distilling is something I truly admire and respect. I am so glad I got to learn from him and even more proud to call him my friend.
➡️ Neven distilled his first fruit brandies with his father, when he was eight or nine years old. He learned to make whiskey on an ADI internship at the Cedar Ridge Distillery in Swisher Iowa and plans to open a distillery in his native Croatia.
➡️ Additional Information about the distillation process:
The distillation is a process of taking a liquid mixture that contains lots of chemicals with different boiling points, boiling the lot of them, and controlling the condensation process. The more volatile liquids will boil sooner than the less volatile liquids, so they can be preferentially captured since they will condense sooner.
➡️ What Does The Terms Mean: Foreshots? Heads? Middle cut? Feints? Tails?
A “cut” is when the output of a pot still changes from undesirable to desirable (or vice versa). When the cut is made, the liquid output from the still is literally redirected to a different receiver (container). “Heads” (also known as “foreshots”) precede the “middle cut,” which precedes the “tails” (also known as “feints”). The “heads” or “foreshots” can contain unsafe or unpalatable chemicals.
The “middle cut” is the desired output of the pot still. The “tails” or “feints” are what comes out of the still after sufficient alcohol has been extracted from the still such that the concentration in the output is no longer high enough.
➡️ Additional Information About The Term Low Wines?
This is the name given to the product of the first distillation in the pot still process of manufacture. It is the distillate derived from the wash and contains all the alcohol and secondary constituents and some water.
It forms the raw material of the second distillation, which is carried out in the Spirit Still. The feints and foreshots are added to the low wines when the spirit still is charged.

I haven’t left a single comment on youtube, but this video thrilled me so much that I just couldn’t resist it. Educational and inspiring for me as a future food engineer. Great work!!!
The cool thing is I definitely make sure I respond to everyone, and you made my day. Thanks so much and really glad you enjoyed the episode. Cheers and thanks so much for taking the time to comment. Means a lot. Cheers, -Jeff
I just returned from Stellenbosch South Africa with a solid week of wineries, and yet the surprise highlight of my time there was a tour of Van Ryn brandy distillery, learnt so much ! 20 years of ageing in oak barrels !
Nice, thanks for sharing and wish I would’ve stumbled across this place you mentioned! I absolutely love it there. That whole area is beautiful. One of my first episodes i filmed is how wine is made with Groot Constantia, the oldest winery in SA. Cheers, -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations yeh, we passed on groot... but did most of the other ones... but back to that tour of Van Ryn brandy... I was filming the whole tour but they made us leave all our cameras and mobile phones and electronics outside as this whole dark room that was filled with oak barrels of 10-20 years old 78% alcohol could possibly blow the place sky high. (highly unlikely, but I guess it's possible since you could smell it in the air !)
South African here, glad you enjoyed your visit! Please do come again!🇿🇦
This man's attitude screams Balkan slavic, I just recognize his attitude form my life. Rakija connecting people
That’s interesting you pointed that out. Rakija was so cool to learn about and how that is tradition through out the Balkans. Cheers, -Jeff
So much passion for the craft, i loved it!
Thank you for sharing, the world is still waiting for you explore more
❤️ 😭 love this video & this man’s story SO much. Blesssssings
Laurita Fajita thanks so much and so glad you enjoyed the video. 🙏🙏🙏-Jeff
Woah, blown away by this video! Subbed immediately, can't wait to cruise through your other content. Thank you!
Hell yeah!!! Look forward to your thoughts about the other episodes and let me know if there is any beer, wine, spirits you would like us to go film. Cheers, -Jeff
Great episode! I am learning a lot by watching these videos Brad.
And the text you add on the video with complementary information is very helpful too.
Tiago Soares
Thanks so much Tiago. We are teating different things now and glad to hear that you like the text with additional information. -Jeff
One of my favorite videos so far!
Awesome brotha. This was one of my favourites as well. -Jeff
Thanks Neven it was a pleasure to watch at your craft and thank you Jeff for posting a great video
Neven is the man!!! He is amazing at what he does and look forward to following his journey in opening up a distillery in Croatia. Can’t thank you enough for the support and so glad you enjoyed the episode. Cheers, -Jeff
Yeah!!!!!!! New Video! New Adventure!!
It is stories like this that make me appreciate a good spirit even more. And it is interesting to see the whole process done by a home distiller. Very nice.
Thanks so much brother! Neven and I are still great friends to this day and I guy I look up to in the industry.
my goal is to one day distill and make my own spirit. watching this guy do his thing all from in his back yard is inspiring. great video man!
Neven, is working on opening up his distillery in Croatia now. Truly an inspiration to me and many out there. I’ve talked to a few distilleries that started small and distilled in there basement, backyards for years perfecting their craft. You just got to start. Keep me posted on when you start. Cheers -Jeff
Learn is the best medicine and having fun doing it is priceless. And thanks for your service my friend we all Appreciate it
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. I’m hoping others get value from my videos as well. That with everything you said makes this all worthwhile. Cheers, -Jeff
I like how this was produced, very to the point with lots of visuals depicting Neven's environment as well as his procedures. I especially enjoyed the personal interactions and how you looked at him as if you were a music student in the presence of Mozart himself. Any average one of us would meet a guy like Neven and assume there's not much going on within this guy but, yikes, he is internally bubbling with insights and skills. Awesome presentation of an awesome individual doing seriously intriguing stuff there. 10 thumbs up.
Can’t thank you enough for this comment and taking the time to write this. This is my journey to learn from amazing people like this. I’m not the star of this channel, but merely a guide to highlight the true stars of the alcohol industry and the Nevens around the globe. Meeting people like this and calling them my friend is what it’s all about for me. Not a business transaction and that’s it. I continue to follow and say hello to Neven. Truly a master at what he does. Cheers
Great video. I learned a lot particularly a new head sealing technique. Putting a lip around the top of the pot and just using water to seal the head is such a simple and elegant solution. Certainly beats the old flour paste method. Thanks for sharing.
I really appreciate it. I learned so much from Neven and was glad to share the info which is what this channel is all about. Sharing what I’m learning in beer, wine, and spirits. I appreciate you taking time to comment. Cheers, -Jeff
This channel deserves more subs! 👍👍
Thanks so much and means a lot! I respect the process and we are starting to gain momentum now. Cheers and thanks for taking time to comment! -Jeff
So amazing. I love that he planted and tends the fruit trees.
Thanks and I was honored to really take part in the culture and tell Nevens story. There will be more stories like this in the future. Stay tuned and appreciate the support! -Jeff
Cute! very useful for what I'm starting! :) Thanks a lot!
Rodrigo Montefusco awesome brother, cheers 🍻
Супер видео! Браво!
I luv this video I've watched it 3 times now!
Neven and I continue to be good friends and he is in the process of opening his own distillery. He is still making amazing Rakija and working on his craft. Can’t thank you enough for the support, means a lot. Cheers, -Jeff
watching all of your videos man while drinking my locally brewed beer...thanks for the videos :)
Sevillista Guru cheers and can’t thank you enough for the support. What’s the local brew your drinking? -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations FreeState October fest beer brewed in Lawrence KS :) Its one of the top 5 beers in US...that's what my local seller told me
Great work 🍻
When I see all this drone footage, I realise why am I so much in love with Lika, the region I come from. Have I told you that Plitvice Lakes NP is just behind those mountains in the south?
Thank you so much, my dear friend!
The area, food, culture is special. Plitvice lakes is so beautiful. Your in an amazing area my friend! -Jeff
Neven Vorkapic hey man your story hooked me to become interested about distilling. I learned from this video😂

Pls sir, I am interested in getting a private lecture on this. How do I link up with u?
Thank you so much......
Thank you brother!! Always great to get comments like this. Cheers -Jeff
Excellent video and certainly shows the art of craft distillers worldwide with family traditions passed down from father to son in this case.
Mark Webb can’t thank you enough for taking the time and commenting, it fuels what I’m doing. I appreciate it. This was such a special story for me. Neven’s heart is in the right place and I’m honored to the his story and follow his journey in opening up a distillery. -Jeff
Nice , follow your passion 🍀
Thanks, it’s exactly what I’m doing and while there are peaks and valleys on this journey, I absolute love what I am doing and being creative and curious about beer, wine, and spirits fuels this journey. I hope you’re following your passions also. Cheers, -Jeff
🤗 I just watched your video on Ilay peat preservation 🤗
this video inspired me thank you so much
Glad to hear. This is where it all started for Neven and now he is getting ready to open up his distillery. He has such a cool story. I look forward to hearing about your journey also. Cheers, -Jeff

I went to a palinka festival in budapest years ago. Small distilleries, family operations. Its an awesome cultural event but wow its strong and crazy flavors.
Thanks for sharing and I can only imagine all the wild stuff you see there! I Really enjoyed Budapest.
Love Croatia, Croatians and Slivo!! Please keep in touch with Neven and let us know if he ever starts to market his slivovica. I have harvested plums from my trees and neighbors and have two large carboys fermenting away in my kitchen. My hope is to distill them into some homemade slivo.
Noe Charbonneau Neven is in the process of starting his distillery. The website is kapeladistilling.com. I can also put you in touch with Neven if you have any questions during the distilling process. Cheers and thanks so much for the message 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻-Jeff

Very cool, and I like the brother-ship, Just learning how to do this and my still should be in next week and I have to agree with 8 EMA, beautiful area, last time I was in the area, was not so much, so I love to see people not only prosper but loving life. I really want to know more about distilling plumb, and Cherry
Thanks so much for the comment. If you have any questions regarding distilling fruit spirits please let me know and I will put you in contact with Neven or someone who can answer your question. Cheers, -Jeff
If you want to know more about distilling plumb, come to Romania .
Mantaaap👍👍..GBU
Thank you so much, I learned a lot…cheers, kanpai, tagay, saúde, sláinte Jeff
Thanks so much and really glad you enjoyed the episode. -Jeff
I want that still. Ive never seen one that works like a double boiler. You could mash right in the pot, and not have to worry about scorching the solids.
great cat lovely
The cat was the unofficial boss of the farm. 😀😀😀
He made that look easy! God damn!
💯💯💯💯💯
Mantap bro !!!
The invention of Alcohol maybe the footstep of other discoveries in our planet .
Love it man and couldn’t agree more.
Absolutely crushing it!!! A recommendation of mine would maybe involve defining the technical terms used...maybe just in the bottom of the screen. Keep up the amazing videos, enjoying them lots!
Thanks for the feedback and I will definitely work on adding more terminology in future episodes. Cheers, -Jeff
If you are adding technical terms, make sure they are correct, I noticed a few errors in terma uaed in the video, was a good video though.
Robert Jordan thanks for the comment and I 💯 own up to any mistakes on terms used. I will check with 4th party individuals in the industry to ensure anything I use is correct. Thanks. -Jeff
Great content!
Dustin, thanks so much! My goal is to make the bring most value and get better everyday. I started with no experience and went all in on my dream. I’m excited for what the future holds and how much we are improving as a channel. Cheers, -Jeff
I appreciate your journey! My nano- brewery began in house sales as of January 2020. I have watched thousands of hours of industry videos. Your series is the best I've seen. The location's and access you get AMAZING! Come visit Oregon and keep the content coming.

I've had home-made fruit brandy from Hungary ("Pálinka") several times, both plum and apricot. It can be really tasty but also very strong!
Oh yeah the stuff I tried isn’t proofed down. It’s high ABV but really tasty.
Try Lebanon you gonna enjoy
Thanks, I have been to Lebanon 🇱🇧 before, but only tried Almaza beer. It was amazing. I will keep my eyes open for it. Cheers, -Jeff
Just starting to expand into brandy. I've made plenty of whiskey and there certainly is a few different things between the two techniques.
Appreciate the comment brotha and for me it’s fascinating to see these amazing distillers create such an amazing mash Bill with whiskey or with brandy picking the fruit at the exact moment to give these amazing flavors. Then to pick the yeast to help these flavors evolve along with barrels etc. Etc. Respect to the art and science of distilling. -Jeff
did you guys make money from it?. I'm just curious😁😂
man what a really nice area to live in
The cool thing is that the whole village was a tribe. They would stop over and say hello, bring fresh cheese or meat. Alll food was literally farm to fork. It was a great experience and I’m glad to have shared it. -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations that is awesome it should def be about the food exp too,you are very lucky to have these journeys of travel in your life,,something you will keep with you forever,keep doing it and sharing with those of us who aint that lucky and can only see the world through the screen
Wauw no commercials!!! +1 👍 Respeckt 🙏

What a wonderful video! I dated a girl briefly that was from Bosnia. She gave me a bottle of plum rakija (?sp) that her Dad made - prob. about 100proof. It was SO delicious! It was unlike any other spirit I had ever tasted up till then, and I was hooked. Since then I've found some Hungarian apricot brandies in that style, but not really any good plum ones. Anyone have suggestions for commercially available, E. European style plum brandies?
Such a great story! Thanks for sharing!
Great video, thank you. Did he say to dilute with 'demineralized' water? Does that basically mean distilled water or RO-filtered water?
Thanks so much, really glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, They use RO water at the distillery.
Best sorts of Plums for Sljivovica is Pozegaca,Crvena Ranka,Cacanska lepotica...all the best too domacin Neven and Jeff.
Neven was talking about Pozegaca. That’s really where great Sjivovica starts. The quality of the fruit. Thanks so much for sharing and commenting. Cheers, -Jeff

Hey Jeff, found you by (happy) accident, loving it! ( new subscriber). You gotta come to Ireland (when you can, if you haven't already?) The traditional Poteen makers still exist (even though it is illegal.....), it is a 'high art' and one that I'm sure you would appreciate. I'm certain you'd get a very warm welcome if you were prepared to 'be discrete' As the main ingredients are oats and barley, possibly later in the year would be best.
Slainte.
Con McGrath what’s up brother? Thanks for the support and comment and this would be an epic story. I wouldn’t even no where to begin to reach out to these Poteen makers, but definitely agree with you about coming to Ireland and telling their story. Cheers, -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations Hey Jeff, one must be 'circumspect' in these regards but it is possible I could make some discreet inquiries....you know the phrase 'six degrees of separation'? well probably only four but who can say, in these uncertain times?
Meanwhile, here is a link to 'wet your whistle', unfortunately it is only the 'cut-down' version, looks like the 'U-gods' removed the original (complete start to finish) which is a crying shame. Try th-cam.com/video/fT4kyO0FH9Q/w-d-xo.html
I should mention, there is a 'tourist poteen' that is legally distilled in Ireland, (im)pure shite! They changed the law in 1997, so if you have the licence and the govt gets their cut etc etc....not the real thing at all.
Pax Dude! Wishing you well on your travels.
Thanks brother. Let’s keep the conversation going. jeffreybradford8@gmail.com cheers bro

at 6:24 your caption says "low wines" but you meant "fore-shots" the harmful portion of the run before the heads is about %2 of the total volume of the run. I have hear it is an excellent glass cleaner and fuel alcohol.
Yeah I made a mistake calling it low wines and yes, Neven saved it to clean glass actually hahahahah. -Jeff
In Sri Lanka we are also distilling brandy. It's called Kasippu here..
Awesome, thanks so much for sharing. It’s. Cool to hear all the amazing beer, wine, spirits that are part of cultures around the world. I’m putting it on my list to research. Thanks, -Jeff

Cheap or expensive, brandy is my favorite drink.
I can understand why! This was my first time drinking it and now I’m spoiled! It was amazing learning all about Brandy, especially from Neven! Any brands in particular you recommend me trying? Cheers, -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations It looks like you have already been in South Africa, as we have a fantastic brandy route in the Cape, u should try a pot distilled brandy like Oude Meester its very sweet, or even KWV that is the more local everybody drinks it brandy
Johan Du Preez thanks for the information. I absolutely love South Africa and will definitely be back. I was surprised to see how much Brandy was consumed there. Cheers and I appreciate you taking time to comment. -Jeff
Good video . I work with a lot of foreign people and they say its traditional in their countries.
Thanks for the feedback and taking the time to comment. I agree, this is a traditional drink in the Balkans. I’m glad we got to capture it in the traditional way most people remember with such an amazing distiller. Cheers, -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations thanks for something worth watching ..
Richard Harris thanks and always working to improve on what we are doing.
We in Indonesia have a much traditional drink, like ciu and gedhang klutuk
I’ve heard a lot about it! I’m starting to realize Indonesia likes to drink! 😀😀
What song back ground in minit
, good one, "dirty look" is not meaning bad product because too clean process may sometimes kill really good stuff and anyway they themself seems to be happy "guinean_pigs" (eh, me too), liked this video because it was so original.
Really appreciate the feedback and comment. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and me and Nevin are still good friends today. Cheers, -Jeff
see what sucks is i want to LEARN how to make brandy every part of it and make some so say like 30-40 years down the road i have some aged stuff so i dont have to buy some expensive stuff then, be able to make my own blend of what i know would taste good.
My opinion would be to find the nearest Distillery and see if you can volunteer your time and in exchange learn the process.
should you strain the juice from the pulp before distilling? I've heard some people say if you distill pulp it can burn at the bottom of the still and cause unwanted burnt/ bitter flavours
You’re exactly right! We strained the juice
so for the first run = no pulp distilled...only pure juice?
just to confirm.....so the whole process was a double distillation?
did you discard the foreshots in both first and second distillation?
@@12xxddr so you don’t want any pulp because of scorching which will produces off flavors I. The final distillation. We double distilled and made cut points based off heads, hearts, tails. With the end result being around mid to high 50s ABV.
i think i might try some Slivovitz next time i visit the liquor store
Let me know what you think of it and what brand you buy. Once Neven gets his distillery up and going, I’m going to be bugging him for some. 😀😀-Jeff
@@drinkdestinations i believe last time i checked there were only 1 or 2 kinds ,perhaps there is more now,but Maraska Sliv is what im eyeing for now but at 30 bucks for 750ml its more expensive than my whisky lol ,,i know what you mean about getting a free bottle from your buddy,in fact when i was into gin i made this cocktail recipe that everyone loved and back then there was this new gin company on the market and i enjoyed there product so i got in touch with them in london and told them about my recipe with there gin so they obviously loved the idea and published my recipe along with a couple of pics i took on there website where there are other ppl who done the same because one of the brothers who owns the company travels to promote there product and he meets these bartenders and ppl coming up with new recipes which they post on there site,,one of the brothers by chance came to visit a local booze store here where i live so i met him and he was kind enough to get me different parafanelias associated to there label,like a t shirt,key chains ,condoms lol,etc and he handed me a bottle too (nice score),,i love exploring all kinds of spirits and how they are made,i started with gin,then whisky and now vodka ,i even make my own homebrew and distill as well different stuff,i got a batch of grappa mash for my next one :) cheers
@@drinkdestinations i was hoping to get a reply from you on that last one,wondering if you got it,,but i just got a bottle of Maraska Stara Sljivovica from croatia,it's aroma and flavor reminded me of another eau de vie(fruit moonshine) that i had from germany which was from pears and apples ,i really am enjoying this stuff its pretty smooth almost like water with a nice kick and the flavor hits me back after a few burbs lol very good with a cup of coffee on the side too,of course id like to try the real stuff like you have,i can def taste the difference in alc made from fruits and those made from grains,i am drinking some now as i watch this again :)
ARCSTREAMS i am copying the message and sending to Neven. Maybe he can give better insight on the brands you mentioned. Keep you posted. -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations ok that be great to get some feedback on this specific brand that i am sure he is familiar with,the bottle i got is clear and not aged in barrels although they make that kind as well,,see if you can open this link ,it is the lcbo store here in canada where i got it from and shows a bit of detail about it www.lcbo.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/lcbo/fruit-spirit-15013028/maraska-stara-sljivovica-233627#.XbpY2WJKjIV

Even in an Apocalyptic world, the most important skill next to food and fresh water gathering is the alcohol brewer. He rules!
Couldn’t of said it better
When does he cut it with water before or after the aging?
He usually lets it sit for a month or so before he Adds RO water to a proof he enjoys.
I couldn't quite hear what was said at 10:15 something about 'and then start reducing it with ?'
demineralised water
