I WILL COMMENT AGAIN...THIS IS MY FAVOURITE.....I LOVE WARAGI 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🙋🏿♀️🙋🏿♀️🙋🏿♀️🙋🏿♀️🙋🏿♀️
Thank you Simba....am blessed to have you here....
Very nice kinyuajia sawa.
Haha..
Indeed better than of all vodka
@isaacnimwesiga8115 I taste it and that was it for me.....
I like that he tasted before he gave it to him. Taste of his own medicine.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the drink could hit so different......I almost got drunk 🤣🤣🤣
1 beer in my.country turkiy is 27 TL. 1 liter of vodka costs 250 TL. 1 usd 14 TL. We all became chemists because of the high alcohol prices. In addition, don't forget, 1 matoke banana is 15 TL.. you can't even imagine how people live a difficult life. It seems like we will come to Uganda soon.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is so interesting.....just come to Uganda and enjoy everything here at a very affordable prices.....
Thanks for this....I learnt something here....thank you Zafer...
Wow great work mwana I remember my Father used to do waragi so that he gets school fees for us long live my Daddy 🙏🙏🙏
Oooh my dear...all the memories being brought back in this video...thank you so much Nakintu..
AMEENA ♥ ♥ ♥
First time here. Wow! This is such a rich content. Africa is blessed 🙌
Happy to have you here dear....and thanks for watching..
Uganda has such an attractive and interesting culture and practices , they seem to be good natured and gentle , and it seems like a very peaceful place with lots of good food
Haha...thank you Miss Britt....that place was rich with so many different types of foods...
"Culture" please, Africa and "culture".
I just cant....your videos are on another level Nikko...Thank you for the outstanding content, storytelling and editing 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Thank you so much my Maaso Glory...am so greatful...munayee....🙏🙏
I’ve never tried Waragi and I didn’t know that it was made from the baby bananas. It’s a simple process and you friend is very experienced in the production. good job!
Thank you Mr Steve...in Eastern Uganda...they ferment sugarcanes to make Waragi.....and someone in the comments said others use Irish potatoes..what I learnt is people make Waragi from different materials according to where they come from....
@@EatingTheAfricanWay Nickolas - I’ll bet that “juice” right out of the still was pretty potent. Any idea of the proof - the % alcohal? I doubt those tow men had an hygrometer handy and the proof was probably pretty high.
Mr Steve, Juice that come out after is one of the Liquids that will burn your lungs out...I tasted it and I felt fire inside my body...that whole week.....my body wasn't stable....and what amazes me is they use eyes to measure everything.....even the pressure in the container....yet at any time it can explode....they are living a life of risk...
@@EatingTheAfricanWay True, it is a dangerous occupation…but also seems to be a somewhat successful “cottage industry”. They remind me of “moonshiners” (a maker if illegal whiskey) from America’s south. The name was derived from a tradition of creating the alcohol during the nighttime, thereby avoiding detection…and paying taxes on the liquor.
What!!! Hahaha...thanks for sharing this Mr Steve....imagine from this...is where he gets the money to take kids to school and also get other requirements......risking his life..for the family....
Do you see how such stuff bring back the memories..
This the job that changed my my life when i was bn in the village now am in another level.
Thanks for sharing this......
Banange. You're a talented man. 👏 Emandule eyo!!! Uganda 🇺🇬 yaffe. ❤️❤️❤️❤️💯🙏🙏
Thanks for watching...
I like how his procedure is completely natural. I have made this myself as we my family also grow bananas here on the island. But we have a different process and use bucket to make the fermenting and a big pot to make the distill but it's basically the same in the end . Nice to see this original process in the bush
Wow...happy to have you here....now you know what you are talking about...this is so great..
That old folk taking that first shot like it was nothing is top level stamina😂
🤣🤣🤣 he never felt a thing....he's main job is to taste
Dude I have started learning this trade but most of the instructors are American moonshiners! This is a whole other type of wisdom! You have my thanks and drop by for a drink if you are ever in New Zeal and you are welcome anytime cuz! I hope you are still youtubing and have done more on this subject, this is really cool my man!
Aww...happy to have yoy here...am happy you got some idea from this video..... you can even visit us and see how this is done on ground....
@@EatingTheAfricanWay That would be cool! We have a massive migrant community in my city in New Zealand, maybe I can track down some of the people still brewing and distilling the old way! Keep up the good work cuz, I'm watching!
@MrSomethingElse please do look for them...... thanks so much for the support...
Woo that's a great distillation process. Great video
Thank you Asaba...am happy to have you here...
You guys have done it again. Great video!
Thank you so much Muzunguu...happy to see you again
Just imagine the first person in buganda who made this ! What were they thinking and what motivated them Mbu let me ferment bananas for 9 days and I get drunk ? Eeh , mankind never ceases to amaze !
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 talk about it...you wonder how someone came up with such an idea......fear mankind 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for checking in...🕺🕺
Mbu mugulu teri mwenge.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 nze sibadekoo waano 🤣
Just know baganda are so wise people 😌
🤣
He knows his job very well. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks too for watching..
Gukuba nyo!! 🤣😂🔥 Great video on waragi processing!! Drinking the African way!! 🤣😂😖
🤣🤣🤣🤣 we get drunk the African way 🤣🤣
This is proof that our ancestors were using chemistry to process this alcoholic beverage. They had to experiment in order to know how many days it would take for each stage in the processing to be successfully completed. So they didn't wait for the muzungu to teach them how to do it. And they did all this using local materials. Absolutely amazing.
Imagine all this knowledge......me I was amazed with the process......
Yes, organic chemistry. Africans are geniuses contrary to what the mzungus termed as barbaric and savages. In fact, judging from history of Africa colonization the mzungus are the barbarics and savages.
🤣🤣🤣 on with you Ashley.....it's now the opposite....haha...thanks for watching..
Me am silent...let me be a student..
@Sergeant yeah not to mention they are using open air fermentation with wild yeast and distilling out of what looks like rusty carbon steel oil drums and using gas cans to fill them. Not exactly the safest or most efficient still i've ever seen. But at least he's dumping the foreshots.
Creativity in the midsts of all odds.❤
You know it right.....
This was amazing and super fascinating to watch!!! Thank you so much and hope I can try some Waragi soon :)
Thanks for watching my friend....you can come and have a blast
Wow! Great video Brother!
Thank you....did you learn something from there?
Some gud shots
Thanks bro..
Big brother nze am speechless on this one, the broll, shots and the explanations are soooo very clear🙌🙌
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 webale nyoo ssebo...am so greatful.....how do you rate this video..
Banange 🤔 am so happy to see my father on u t b
Are you sure...😳😳😳
Taata woo akuzala ebyadala.....okakassa
wow I remember doing this back in the village, my mum used to send us to the village every holidays! it's one of the best experiences ever as kids of course we never went to the distilling part, we just watched. the science involved in that process is just mesmerising!
Look at all these memories.....the time must have been the best life to live .....I was also scared when it came to distillation process due to what can happen along the way...
Nice video. In India we do something similar with Cashew fruit, called cashew Feni. If I drink that, even my sweat will smell like feni for 3 more days. everybody at home and office know, you had Feni. Now you have to do next video of Drinking half liter Waragi and telling funny stories of Africa. :-)
Who will drink the half little waragi...🤣🤣🤣 I don't want to die now....hahaha..
Thank you thank you Prakash for watching and also sharing with us..
My king,now i know the beginning of the end or the end of beginning
In Uganda ,the economy is in the hands of indians.few years ago,one Muhindi(indian)was selling waragi,vodka in the plastic sacket,now they are using bottle
The indians have sugarcane plantations,and waragi and vodka factories
The ugandese are drinking and making babies...
In the nothern of Uganda ,young generations are zombies,but they vote Museveni ,because he let them free
May be the indians introduced waragi in Uganda,because the bantous didnot know to make waragi ,
Love how you're genuinely interested in the process... Much love ❤️
Thanks dear....I really wanted to waste ka myself....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and also wanted to know how its done..
@@EatingTheAfricanWay 😂😂😂 not with that amateur reaction you gave at the end
Mukama.....that was not diluted.....it was straight from the source....even the man who always produces it...was putting the teeth out...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 trying the direct translation....
he warned me before drinking it...but I had to taste....
That was the end of my life....🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@EatingTheAfricanWay Next time we should hear from the badi guy at 18:24 😎😎
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that badi guy was so silent......he refused to even smile....he was too serious throughout the video...
This video eased the research i was doing. Thanks man
Thank for watching Oscar..
I wish they could get a manual machine to kusota instead of using feet for hygiene and sanitary reasons.
Munayee...its the local way they used and still using...they can't afford machines....
Am happy to see you...Seabreeze
It depends on whoever is making the juice though most people use their hands entirely without the feet.
There's some grass used to squeeze that juice out with bare hands instead of the feet.
Happy to see you Joshua.....also it deeps on the amount of bananas used and the deepest of the container.
Yes yes...you are right.....
Wow! Nice to see it the process..😊😊
Thank you Ai ....happy to see you.....am glad you saw the process

Nice my elder I also learned here ,hygne must be improved that's why it's not good to show people how some food or drinks are processed because people will discover how unhealthy is the product so if you decide to show people pliz cleanliness must be shown all the time.salute you elder , watching and learning from Zimbabwe ❤
You're so right......and I agree with yoy....thank you so much for being here..... how is Zimbabwe..
NICKO THIS IS THE 3RD TIME,MY ANCESTORS LOVE THIS...🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪😘😘😘😘😘😘
I think your Ancestors loved alcohol alot....hahaha...tell them am so greatful..
@@EatingTheAfricanWay AMIN
This quite different from what my grandpa used to do it. He used to first squeeze out the juice with the feet ofcos 😂 then add sorghum and let it stand for a few days (fermentation) then after transfer it to the boilers(drums) and collects the steam,cooled and collected(waragi)
Thanks for watching.....from different societies....people use different ingredients.... but the result is kinda different...... I tested the one made in central, I felt my intestines were melting.... then in north-west of Uganda....their's was so light......I can take several cups and still stand....., then their those who use irish potatoes, others rice..... etc...
Watching live from Japan 🇯🇵 🇺🇬Edrin Kalema TH-cam channel
Thanks for watching
Love the background music
Thanks for watching
At least use a huge pit above the ground and use huge funnel to donated to him. You can use it to like vinegar banana fermented and banana peels make it fertilizer for vegetables garden.
Thanks for the ideas......happy to have you here..
THIS IS REAL HARD WORK NICO AND TEAM.LET ME RELAX AND ENJOY THIS🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for seeing that...its indeed it was a hard.....but we managed.....
Happy to see you again..
This is the best drink better than all the likes of kyanga 'cassava 'maize and others.
@isaacnimwesiga8115 yes that right....I have tasted all...but this was the most pure one...
talented crew and good presentation
Thank you Ders...
The end product is simply superb... Can be a big time business with good packaging
Thank you So much....I'll talk to him and see...
Oops, waragi super than any famous brands .. thank you guys showing How it's Made ..
Hahaha...thanks for watching Nalaka..
Nice brother I am your fan after watching this video's
Thank you so much Tilak...am happy to have you here....
Naye abaganda bali bayiyanyo kale guvamu mukyisubi Naye ate mweguyitiliza gufuka gwabulabe eeee,thanks dear you are the good teacher 😋
Okitegelaaa gwe...Haha...
Now days they changed the ingredients 😢....they add alot of chemicals to get more profit.. ...But this is the right way of getting our local waragi
I know.....but this man is still doing it the right way
Blessings to him
Thanks for watching
i love your content
The you dear...
Step fermentation adding more bananas in time to pull out the fermentable sugars, then racking, then distilling off the heads and fore shots with methanol, and keeping the hearts of ethanol. bananas will ferment longer and with more ABV then any fruit.
Thank you so much for this information Ted......happy to have you here..
best Gin ever this 1st first grade 😋 great job my brother 🙌
Thank you so much for watching..... this one can make you go crazy......
Keep documenting African wisdom
Thanks for watching Chokera...
wooow
🕺🕺🕺🕺
Harvest
Ripen
Crush to ferment
Strain
Fractional distillation
Can/bottle.
Any alcohol done through this process, it's concentration is more.
Nice to learn that.
Thanks for watching
WOW ! I can't judge the process but I can think of many adjectives for a very dangerous job. Great video Nico.
Thank you so much Sister to sister...am so greatful...its too dangerous but they always do their best..
May I ask why it's dangerous?
The process is so dangerous......if they make any mistakes and don't balance the pressure inside the tank.....it can burst and burn anyone near...
@@EatingTheAfricanWay thank you
🙏🏿
Waragi🙄🙄🙄 let's wait for that lesson✍️✍️ here I will be among the back benchers 😂😂🤣 🤣 I will just escort the learners today😂 hi Nico👋
Hahahaha....thanks for coming through mukwano
@florence we are together in the back benching🙌
The facial expressions ⚡️⚡️😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it was so much banayee..
Beautiful place i like the way you speak
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 am so greatful to have you here..
our african distillers are great scientists. mandule is methanol. through experience they know it is dangerous and know how to seperate it from super- the desired ethanol. this is high science. well done ETAW for telling our african stories. long life.
Wow...you know more about this.....am even jealous...hahaha......am sure we have good scientists in the whole world....
Thank you too for watching..
But eating thanks for this video ✌️✌️
But what? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ....happy to see you...how are you doing?
Guess it can be sweet while hard drink 😜 kkkk nice video African way really
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this drink can burn your intestines.......🤣🤣🤣🤣
Zikomo kwambili, always happy to see you...
Today, have happened to watch all the vedios (old) and I landed on this one and remembered mum telling us her story on how she was doing this as her business for school fees😭😭 mukama akumpangalize maama🙏🙏

this is my favourite video lol
Thanks for watching and loving the video
The guy know more physics and chemistry...he must have been genius in class
🤣🤣🤣🤣 we need to build a laboratory for him
BONJOU BONSWA frè , kouzin felisitasyon pou bon travay sa a

Thanks for watching Bertrand....yes..its made from Small yellow bananas
Really loved this video. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much big sister........am so greatful
You have reminded me at my late Dad's home where they use to kusogola tonto
May he rest in peace....am happy that the video is bringing back the momeries
when he removed the gumboots and started mashing the bananas
Hahaha...
@@EatingTheAfricanWay am from kenya i did not mean any offence.......here in kenya we make waragi from either sugar can/honey i gues the receips is different in every african community.don't forget to visit us neighbour
Yeah alcohol is made from made things...it depends on where you come from .....in northern Uganda there's a tribe that makes alcohol from cassava.....in Eastern Uganda they use sugarcane....in Central and western Uganda they make it from small bananas.....but remember other people use Irish potatoes ....so it depends on the resources......soon I want to visit Kenya it's at my heart...
Awesome video! I subscribed!
I want to taste it!
🕺🕺🕺 Happy to have you here....you can come and join us.
Ingénieux 👍👍
Thanks for watching David
These bananas are called mbidde or kayinja we had a very big farm of them but were destroyed by disease eh. We used to drink omubisi banange nze nkoma ku mubisi cs I am a Muslim walagi situukayo
Nonyaa gyenakolelaa mubiisi nayee wakyambuze......
Very nice video sir, thank you.
I was wondering do they not add any yeast to help fermentation?
They don't....since it's kept underground....warmth and other factors do the work.....
Thanks for watching
mandale is the heads...i.e Heads: Spirits from the beginning of the run that contain a high percentage of low boiling point alcohols and other compounds such as aldehydes and ethyl acetate and the tails are for drinking
Thanks for explaining this to us...
haha mubutuufu nywaako

My great grandmother in Uganda used to make local brew, get all the village drunks wasted.She was very independent, hated relatives and everybody else in between There you have it who think all Ugandans are welcoming.
I don't know how many times am reading this....🤣🤣
Hello world .... greetings from Texas
Hey Peter..happy to have you here...
Uganda let people do whatever they want for sure, processing this moonshine in Rwanda then if u get caught u will be jailed several years because this happen to be illegal here. moonshine is Kanyanga that's the name in rwandan language. Thank u for this beautiful channel,i always wanted to know how this waragi is made.
Ooh dear...thanks for sharing this with us..
In Kenya and wishing to try this ..looks very pure
You can come and visit us..
If you try you never go back to kyanga and others fm cassava,maize
Good
Thank you

In Africa we dont need machine. We use what we have
Thank you Tina
Tina, we do need machines, more effective machines but since we can't afford them, we invent alternatives. What's needed is for us to continue improving on what we currently have. That's how development goes. But we tend to settle with the crude technology and never take the extra step to improve our crude technology.
@Margaret637 yes your right....we need to keep improving on our products..
Waragi sweet. But in Kenya they're labeling such alcoholic drinks as illicit brews now. Like chang'aa.
Eeeh...am coming to check it out...
I love ugandians
We love you too...

Sudah bagus kalo boleh sy memberikan saran saya, harus di uji alcohol nya karena yang pantas diminum hanya berkisar dari 0%-40%. Sangat membahayakan diri jika alcohol nya lebih dari 40%
Thanks for this Jafar

40% alcohol is high !
you need a mixture such as Beer 1 cup Waragi for 2 or trhee Can of beer to make it more light !
