I've always said the same thing about Corona. Is it my favorite beer for taste? No Is it a dang great cold beer on a hot day by the pool? Absolutely yes. Especially with a wedge of lime in it.
I misjudged the popularity of Corona when I planned my sons wedding. I bought all these good beers and all anyone wanted was Corona. The bar ran out in about a hour.
Me too, … unless mr big beard sillit do it before I do 😜 I guess I will do that rather, although I already have 24 bottles of beer waiting for this same experiment…
Dude, you're awesome! I love your personality, and the little laughs you make. Even though I'm in recovery (been clean and sober for 2 years now) I still love watching the process of you making spirits. It's so fascinating. It doesn't trigger me at all, but I must admit, I would love to taste some of the stuff you've made. Cheers, my dude!
Corona seems to improve taste wise when you add a twist of lime/ lemon to it. Which I would say is the go to for helping to mask the skunky flavor of corona beer. Not a good beer by any standards, but better then say Natural ice beer. Now if the abv was 10% for the same price for either beer I doubt anyone would care about the taste as much; especially college students. As far as cheap beers Pabst blue ribbon, Schlitz or Black Label are easily more drinkable.
I concentrated regular deutch lager 3:1 appr. 15% abv, and when added with carbonated sodastream water, the result was identical with the original Baiern lager!
You should save the results of experiments like this and make an episode where you revisit them on a yearly or whatever basis. Wouldn't take up much space and it would be an interesting learning experience with unexpected results for sure!
Rabbit Hole Brewing had a batch of their English Brown Ale distilled at Acre Distilling in Fort Worth, Hop Along Cassidy. Which turned into a lovely whiskey with notes of chocolate from the grain bill and the aroma of Columbus & EKG hops are awesome. The hop oils come across very well.
I fucking love a craft beer and have been on it for years. But every time I'm going to someone's house that I know isn't into craft I just take Corona. Such an easy refreshing drink on a hot day. Keep them lime wedges out the bottle though.
Awesome video Jesse! Almost seems like you make loaded Corona with Corona whisky. If you don't know a loaded Corona is where you grab a swig of Corona, top it back up with tequilla and drop a lime slice in. Plug the bottle with your finger, invert it and then drink. The idea of doing that with a Corona whisky sounds like fun. Thanks for the great video!
This has given me a great idea. I have 16L left of the roasted/spiced pumpkin whiskey that I turned into beer. (Total mash volume was ~80L.) It’s been a huge hit, everybody love’s it and each fall now my work’s going to be cut out for me. The remaining ~55L is sitting waiting to be run. When done I’m going to sample some of the run in the beer and see how she goes.
Skunking of beer happens a lot more in clear or green bottles, which is why most beers come in brow bottles as it helps prevent skunking more. It's also why if you ever decide to buy Heiniken you should avoid the bottled version and get the cans. The beer quality is so much better as the beer won't get skunked in the can. (Skunked in the can sounds really perverse)
I can't get that people that know more about beer than me actually think that Corona wants the beer slightly skunked and some think it's tasted better that way.
@@MostlyInteresting I think it's more about a huge percentage of their customers who don't know the beer is skunked and thus bad. They just assume that's what it's supposed to taste like since that's how it's been forever. They get used to it and end up wanting it to taste like that. Even today I still think most people don't even realize there's well over 100 different styles of beer since the majority just drink crappy versions of American Lager.
@@Mr.Batsu12 I wish I could remember the name of the specific video. But you can probably search for it. In a blind taste test the skunk and unskunked Corona was tasted and the ones that had been setting a while and a little skunked were actually preferred. Go figure. I don't drink the stuff myself.
@@MostlyInteresting Yep. Along with being familiar with the flavor there's also the marketing aspect. Like a long time ago they did huge Pepsi vs Coke taste tests and I think the majority preferred the taste of Pepsi. But people still continued to buy Coke over Pepsi. They liked the Coke experience which was more than just the flavor. It was the look and experience of Coke. Corona is known for those clear bottles, it's so important to the brand. I also don't drink Corona. There's so much better beer out there. If people want a light refreshing summer 'lawn mower' beer they should try a good Hefeweizen. it's perfect for a lawn mower beer. Light, refreshing and highly carbonated.
That’s what I told to everybody but they believe skunk is caused by heat, not sunlight, that’s why I avoid drinking Sol beer, it literally means sun in Spanish and as far as I remember, it’s skunkier than Corona
I’d like to see more quality freeze distilled and fortified lagers on the market. Some of us want a refreshing lager to have strong flavor and yet not taste like espresso and oatmeal or grapefruit peel and pine tar.
Fun video! Previously you put a lot of effort into describing the flavors which I really enjoyed trying to follow along from a distance. Keep it up! Also now that you've got some experience under your belt, have you considered making a video with tips for flavors that age well?
I've watched a few of ur vids now but not seen you drink during them. It was funny seeing u try to talk after ingesting ur results...lol!! Fyi, I'd love if you did something that showed more about gluten free (gluten friendly) beer. Could be the brewing itself, how to's, or anything. Not a home brewer, but I'm curious about the process given I discovered I was gluten intolerant about 10 years ago and it's hard to find many options where I live (very rural area in the south in the US).
Ha ha - I’ve literally just doubled distilled 12 bottles of “Newcastle Brown Ale” (two stripping runs with 6 bottles each in the air still, then spirit run the result with some feints (to boost volume). I’ve ended up with c. 900mls of 50% that I’m gonna oak for 3-6 months on toasted oak (second use). I’m hoping for a weird whiskey-like spirit.
Me and my brother years ago did a freeze distillation process using steel reserve (beer) and it turned out great after several times of adding beer and removing the frozen water(it took over a week for this process). It had a very concentrated flavor and a much higher alcohol percentage.
@@1014p I wasnt commenting as in a question form if it was bad, we did it and it was good and there are commercial brewerys that do it too to achieve high abv and not lose taste do to distilling. So you can do whatever floats your boat!
@@derrickrice2010 Your assuming I responded to a question. I do not care if commercial facilities do it. Plenty of research explaining why its bad to do. Why do distillers remove a certain amount of distilled solution? Because its got bad alcohols in it that will harm you. The heads are always removed for that reason. So unless you used a special tool to remove that layer of bad stuff. You only concentrated it. In standard brewing it boils off mostly if not completely if allowed to age. Again just because a commercial group does something does not mean its a good idea. FDA is full of paid of to ignore bad stuff events. ATF is not a saint at all either.
@@1014p Dude, don't be a prick. Apple Jack is made from freezer distillation. The Amish kids stick a knife in the barrel of apple juice that's kept outside in the winter, and they skim off the alcohol behind their parents... All whisky starts as distiller's beer
@01:20 "Whiskey Business" -- did anyone else expect to see B-roll footage of Jesse sliding across a hardwood floor in a button down shirt, white underwear, & a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses??? Another Corona urban legend: supposedly bartenders starting using the lime to clean up the lip of the bottle because the brewery didn't really clean the bottles well. Before you already went there, I was thinking 1.5 distillation technique, but maybe top it up to 4L mark with beer to get a more "usable" amount of end product??? Regardless, hilarious experiment to watch.
I had a cap ridge shaped scar on my cheek for awhile after opening a warm Guinness one night. Stung like hell & drew blood. I learned to make sure the bottles pointing away from my face after that.
Excellent chemistry lesson. Might try this concept with a 5 ltr jar of Old Rosie Cider that's been knocking about forever. Oh, yes, did you use ceramic saddles with your Corona ish brew. All the best for 2022 💖
I've done the something similar with mead by distilling 3/4 of a batch and mixing the spirit back in with original mead and extra honey to make a sweet 25-30% fortified sweet mead. Not sure if I'd be as keen on beer spirits though 😬
@@demsrchildabusers7959 yeah, but no matter what. Every Heineken. Has that in spades. I have never found a Heineken that doesnt. So it seems they want that distinct smell.
I bought one of those air stills off amazon for 80$ all in. Entirely stainless inside and a PID control built in. Works a treat. I can set one temp to pull the meth out and then move it up to get the good stiff. Out of a 24 of Corona you might get an ounce ish.
Feel like you should have put your forshots from stripping into the spirit run, and made finer cuts on the spirits, that seemed like alot of good booze for such a low abv
You gotta love how TH-cam puts a message right underneath the video about COVID-19... This isn't that kind of Corona Google! lmfaooo. This is the good ass kind of rona xD
Hey broh, I actually was waiting for someone to do this, I bought 24 bottles of beer for distilling about 3 months ago, but a friend told me that that can’t be done because of the hopps and it will actually just increase the bitterness, what is your feeling? I am waiting for the 3rd so i can get my newly acquired still once the shop opens… So what do you say…. do or don’t? I was aware of the fact one gets a little less for what you put in , I am actually not a beer drinker so I don’t like beer all that much, my molasses is fermenting away your Buccaneer BOB’s recipe, I can’t wait will be my 3rd generation!
I distilled about 70 gallons of Oktoberfest over several months (friend owns a brewery lol) and after two distillations, the hops for sure came through. It was weird and not for me. Though not objectively bad. Triple distillation cleaned it up into a reasonable single malt. It's worth trying either way. Run it!
@@joshuagoodsell9330 Thanks Joshy so triple distillation it is , waiting till Monday for my new still then I will give it a go , always wanted to make a single malt 🤤
I've done it with Woolworths brand homebrew. Do not try. The hops oils do not distill out. You just get stank vodka. I've redistilled again and again but it never gets any less harsh.
I absolutely love your out-of-the-box ideas! Now you get me thinking about doing they same thing with twisted tea, maybe it will turn out like a long island with a extra kick! Thanks again for sharing your passion Jesse!
I would love to see you distill the beer Blaecorn Unidragon brewed by Clown Shoes. It's a fairly high ABV Russian Imperial Stout with delicious flavor notes...... Just an Idea
Can you put a link up to where I can find a mini estal I have looked everywhere to find that sucker and can't. Your help would be awesome if you could point 👉 me in the right way my friend and love your videos. I watch all of them.
I like this one, you finally may have made beer tast good by running it through a still. My opinion is all beer taste like skunk pee lol. I like making alcohol but not much for drinking it oddly enough 🙃
Hi, retired Aussie in the Philippines. Made a heap of bad beers which I still have bottled. I have just about finished a combination Pot & Reflux still. Could be fun to try them (23 litres) first on a Pot run & then on a full reflux.They must be pure vinegar by now. Back in Oz I built an offset head reflux but mainly used Birdwatchers them flavoured with Jack Daniels smoking chips.
7:06 - I believe that urban legend is actually true, but for Newcastle Brown Ale. They tried to "de-skunk" their beer and people complained because it "didn't taste like Newcastle Brown". As long as people like it, why try to change it?
This is cool but I would hardly call it a fortified beer. The Scottish Brewmeister Scorpion vennom at 67.5 percent abv or 135 proof is a fortified beer.
Headline: New Zealand man makes corona stronger! Ah the places my mind goes. I hope that made everyone laugh, I know not all share my dark and morbid sense of humor. And if it didn't make you laugh, I apologize.
That frosty cold Corona you show looks delicious. I can't wait for summer so I can really enjoy one. Some of us aren't so lucky to be living in the Southern Hemisphere right now. Great video as always.
This is a really cool video Jesse, I have a bunch of homebrewing friends that have tons of leftover beer and sometimes reject projects that I’ve been interested in distilling and this gives me a whole lot of ideas on how to play with it and come up with unique fortified beer or beer based spirits, Cheers!
If the flavours are very bad would it be better to use plates/reflux to make that kind of thing into a clean base spirit? Could imagine some wierd funky flavours adding complexity to a gin maybe
I have been a Homebrewer for a long time and built a small pot still a few years back, but I don't really drink liquor very often so I only used it a few times. The thing I love about home brewing is all the experimentation, I just purchased one of these countertop stills and with how much liquor I drink I am optimistic that it will be perfect for me to experiment with stuff like this, I am loving the channel and all the knowledge and ideas I am getting from you. I think one of my first experiments will be making a fortified stout or maybe porter with spirits distilled from that same brew, any advice?
No, it is not that box of beer, Coronas are just like that if you uncap them by leveraging the cap off. I use a Bic lighter, and they DO tend to fly across a room.

Love a good Corona or Modelo with lime
Would be fun to see more of these but trying different beers (Guinness, Saporro, Killians/Smithwicks, etc.)
I actually enjoy that skunkyness from the corona, gives it a different taste than other beers. Especially when its ice cold
I often thought about trying this with a box port
Me too, … unless mr big beard sillit do it before I do 😜

Nice mate, Good work getting things under control! Keep up the good work.
Corona sells "Corona Familiar" in a brown bottle to give you a taste of how fresh Corona tastes.
Is that why i like the brown bottle better?
Hell I thought it was like a lager
@@TheDramethis it's just a 40 oz
This is also known as "Pacifico" - which is essentially the same as Corona, but in a brown bottle. It's more tolerable to my palette.
Or bit is British
There’s a time and a place for almost everything, and for Corona it’s when it’s well over 30 degrees and you’ve got sweat everywhere.
I love the taste of skunked corona with clamato.

Corona shouldn't be skunky. This tells me your shipper didn't handle them correctly. Also Rolling Rock purposely skunks their beer.

Super cool video, been doing the beer to whiskey series and had a few failures HAHA.
Will go look at yours too , 😜
Corona is great...but only with a nice fresh oily lime.
This seems like just the technique to make a recursive somaek! Do they sell Hite/Cass down there?

Carona Familiar is the same beer in a brown bottle, so not skunked.

That might be good if you started with a high percentage Trappist style wheat beer 🍺
You should totally try this with Zima. Best of luck finding Zima, though.
Is it really whiskey if the beer has rice sugar in it?
Drank Sol in Mexico. Light & refreshing. Some "foreign" Sol is made locally. The one I've had was NOTHING like the real thing. Nuts.
I've never seen a Corona cap do that...
EDIT: "Skunky" can often apply to cannabis as well, for anyone who needs a "more familiar" reference point.
That's because cannabis and hops are cousins.
I love your playfulness and jolliness. You're the only man with a beard I've ever liked😊👍

Not silly at all! I love this kind of video inspired by pure curiosity! And I'm sure I'm not alone
could you distill Guinness. make a dark chocolate coffe clear spirit. 😀
Can you put a link up to where I can find a mini estal I have looked everywhere to find that sucker and can't. Your help would be awesome if you could point 👉 me in the right way my friend and love your videos. I watch all of them.

I like this one, you finally may have made beer tast good by running it through a still. My opinion is all beer taste like skunk pee lol. I like making alcohol but not much for drinking it oddly enough 🙃
Why do you know what skunk piss tastes like?

I can't have things that have blood in them. For religious reasons.

That's because it's stale. Try some beer in a brown bottle, it doesn't get stale as easily as beers in clear or green bottles.
Try a corona la familiar if you can get it there. It's great
Hearing someone say "Corona" this much, but with only the context of distilling/fermenting, is hilarious to me right now 🤣
It felt like a Fast & Furious movie. One of the early ones that Vin Diesel got a lot of say in.
When using that type of still how much methanol do you remove from a full still at the beginning?
who else thought he was gonna turn the corona virus into whisky
For lighter beers, but still with some flavor, I love modelo. an ice cold corona with a lime is a close second
that would be expensive in finland. single 0.355 liter bottle costs 2.90e
Hi, retired Aussie in the Philippines. Made a heap of bad beers which I still have bottled. I have just about finished a combination Pot & Reflux still.
Could be fun to try them (23 litres) first on a Pot run & then on a full reflux.They must be pure vinegar by now.
Back in Oz I built an offset head reflux but mainly used Birdwatchers them flavoured with Jack Daniels smoking chips.
7:06 - I believe that urban legend is actually true, but for Newcastle Brown Ale. They tried to "de-skunk" their beer and people complained because it "didn't taste like Newcastle Brown". As long as people like it, why try to change it?
This is cool but I would hardly call it a fortified beer. The Scottish Brewmeister Scorpion vennom at 67.5 percent abv or 135 proof is a fortified beer.
Hey Jesse, just figured out why it's called whiskey.......because you use a wisk, boom boom!
Headline: New Zealand man makes corona stronger!
Ah the places my mind goes. I hope that made everyone laugh, I know not all share my dark and morbid sense of humor. And if it didn't make you laugh, I apologize.

That frosty cold Corona you show looks delicious. I can't wait for summer so I can really enjoy one. Some of us aren't so lucky to be living in the Southern Hemisphere right now. Great video as always.

@@thirstbuster78 I hear ya.
Corona seems to have more ommph under the caps lately, even my cold ones in the fridge pop like champagne bottles
This is a really cool video Jesse, I have a bunch of homebrewing friends that have tons of leftover beer and sometimes reject projects that I’ve been interested in distilling and this gives me a whole lot of ideas on how to play with it and come up with unique fortified beer or beer based spirits, Cheers!
Same here! Just dumped a reject 5 gallon batch that totally could have been distilled 😂
If the flavours are very bad would it be better to use plates/reflux to make that kind of thing into a clean base spirit? Could imagine some wierd funky flavours adding complexity to a gin maybe
Nice video! Really enjoy it when you do these fun/experimental videos.
Would you say the air still is worth it?
Pero que demonios haces... oh wait.. that looks .. oh ok... you... you may proceed!
I find it amusing you were worried at the beginning then came around haha. Cheers 🍻
Wonder how distilled Guinness would go down
I have been a Homebrewer for a long time and built a small pot still a few years back, but I don't really drink liquor very often so I only used it a few times. The thing I love about home brewing is all the experimentation, I just purchased one of these countertop stills and with how much liquor I drink I am optimistic that it will be perfect for me to experiment with stuff like this, I am loving the channel and all the knowledge and ideas I am getting from you. I think one of my first experiments will be making a fortified stout or maybe porter with spirits distilled from that same brew, any advice?
No, it is not that box of beer, Coronas are just like that if you uncap them by leveraging the cap off. I use a Bic lighter, and they DO tend to fly across a room.
