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!
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 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
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
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!
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!
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.
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 had a year old bier ferment on second - don't ask - however, because it still smelled good, tasted okay - so instead of bottling, we distilled it with the little airstill potstill -- Everyone said it would be terrible, hops, yadayada - IT WAS FANTASTIC!!
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
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 are great! I don't have the knowledge to do this nor can I even begin to afford the tools. I just really enjoy watching you do it. Great channel.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Best part of popping a Corona is that lively POP. Maybe the most satisfying thing about drinking a Corona!? About the lime wedge, living in Cali, I have always heard, that is to keep the flies ( "mosqua" in Spanish?) out of your beer. Handy trick, down in Baja California. Americans returning from Mexico had acquired the taste, and it stuck.
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 💖
Light struck beer is what you said, sunlight reacting to hop oils. Corona had obviously packaged this beer to get that skunk profile and folks that drink it love it. Its considered an off flavor in the brewing world and with that being said, if off flavors make good beer then I should be king!
@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 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!
Aging overnight. When you started down that road I fell off my chair laughing. Why? I immediately thought of the scene from the Henry Fonda film "Mister Roberts" where he and Doc are marking "red label scotch" for Ens. Pulver to take ashore. Recipe: Distilled medicinal spirits, a splash of Coca-Cola for the "red label" color, 1 drop of iodine for flavor, 1 eye drop of hair tonic with coal tar base for age. All they missed was a splash of Corona for that skunky finish. 🤠
A while ago, I distilled a high ABV stout similar to Bourbon County and the result was a phenomenal tasting spirit. It would not qualify as a whisky or any traditionsl spirit classification but rather a new class of spirits that is very flavorful.
Yuengling is also done for it it comes from the beer being brewed cold and then going to distributors and cooling it then letting it warm up and then cooling it again then letting it warm up and cooling it again and ready to warm up creates that flavor
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.
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.
Many many years ago, (mid seventies) when distilling knowledge was obtained from watching Hollywood movies like, “ Thunder Road” . My mate and I looking after our children whilst our wives were away on a weekend Softball trip. After a few beers and looking at all the left over previous party leftover dessert wines (;Marsala, Blueberry Nip etc) we decided to try to distil them. My mate was a Manager of a flour mill who had a laboratory that was full of all manner of glass flasks and tubes and spirals . So after collecting an assortment, we put a large flask on the gas stove filled with a mixture of all the left over dessert wines. ( Of course the children having been fed were all asleep in bed) After a few more beers, we watched as the flask bubbled and the steam turned to a clear liquid as it progressed down the glass spiral to a container. Unable to contain our excitement , we had to sample the first few drops. Came to the conclusion and congratulated ourselves. It burnt our tongues . We where onto a good thing. After the liquid cooled, we tasted again. It was pure water. Which taught us that near boiling water does burn the tongue. Especially when after having consumed a few coldies. 😂
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.
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.
in the 80s a local bar had a Little Kings night.. green bottles and SKUNKY . Yet they were so cheep we showed up ..lol The add lime to make a shit beer better was good advertising .. . glad you were honest loved it
Fun video! I’ve gone the other way a little while back, I took a few Oktoberfest Blue Moon’s and froze them, stuck the beer ice in a salad spinner, and repeated until I got what I estimated was around 30% ABV. It was pretty good, a colder freezer could have gotten higher proofs and might be interesting to explore in another meme spirit video.
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?
Corona is sold in large brown glass bottles as Corona Familiar (in the US) and it avoids the skunked flavor that you get from the ones stored in clear glass.
Just take the beer pour it into a mug, drop in a shotglass of your fav whisky and enjoy! Called a boiler-maker! Have consumed many of those as a youth!
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
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).
You ought to try that, but with two different beers. Like I think Landshark & Corona would probably be awesome 😎 Let me explain…distill one & put it in the other beer & then the other way around.

I prefer fresh 'Veronica' cerveza over 'Corona'. Currently freeze distilling my Doppelbock that I made in March (14.2 gallons) into an Eisbock.
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 you could try a barley wine, they're a great style of strong beer that has none of that. sadly no one knows about them so they don't get made often
Maybe you can brew your own at home. And don't add any goddam oatmeal espresso fruit.
Corn flakes and Wheaties whiskey! And I've subscribed watched a few videos and loved every minute

Not silly at all! I love this kind of video inspired by pure curiosity! And I'm sure I'm not alone
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.

I've never enjoyed Newcastle, but I suspect it's always out of date, because nobody buys it. It burns my tongue.
I love the taste of skunked corona with clamato.
Having too much fun with those caps, brother!!! Lol
Funniest video mate, love it... I gotta go smack some mad flying Corona tops around the joint. lol
in the 80s a local bar had a Little Kings night.. green bottles and SKUNKY . Yet they were so cheep we showed up ..lol The add lime to make a shit beer better was good advertising .. . glad you were honest loved it
Heineken has a skunked note that's also on purpose for American tastes. In Amsterdam its just a plain old macro lager
Talk about HOT!, it's 39c here in Adelaide. Great vid mate, have a great N Y.
Fun video! I’ve gone the other way a little while back, I took a few Oktoberfest Blue Moon’s and froze them, stuck the beer ice in a salad spinner, and repeated until I got what I estimated was around 30% ABV. It was pretty good, a colder freezer could have gotten higher proofs and might be interesting to explore in another meme spirit video.
What's your upkeep on your still? How often do you clean it, what do you use? 🤔
I dont drink but I'm watching these like I got a problem 😭 you doing something right lol
You should definitly try this with beer ! Nice vid
I love how kiwis will open a beer with anything other than a bottle opener 😂
That’s pretty awesome, As a Mexican it seems kinda weird to see somebody distilling Corona but you got pretty interesting stuff there
Best laugh on TH-cam hands down.
Mad scientist! Subbed! LOL That case went off like .22s
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?
The best beer is a cold and free one. End of discussion 😃
Gotta add some lime to that Corona ! That's the best way to drink it on a hot day for me...lots of lime .
Hppy new year. Boiler maker. Beer and a shot. Looks tasty.
Do u have a detailed explaination of how to access where the 4 forshot vs head, heart and tail can be speculated? Pretty Please!?
Hops comes from the same plant family as cannabis. Hence the similarity in smell.
Corona is sold in large brown glass bottles as Corona Familiar (in the US) and it avoids the skunked flavor that you get from the ones stored in clear glass.
Considering this is "meme spirits". I think you're bang on with a spork as a measuring device! 😂
Just take the beer pour it into a mug, drop in a shotglass of your fav whisky and enjoy! Called a boiler-maker! Have consumed many of those as a youth!
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
This seems like just the technique to make a recursive somaek! Do they sell Hite/Cass down there?
@1:18 That was quite the whisky pun you made there
Thats Amazing Jessie!
Ok, you got me with the 10% corona extra
I cry every time I see someone drink a corona without a slice of lime
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).
Corona seems to have more ommph under the caps lately, even my cold ones in the fridge pop like champagne bottles
You ought to try that, but with two different beers. Like I think Landshark & Corona would probably be awesome 😎
Let me explain…distill one & put it in the other beer & then the other way around.
The Corona disclaimer 😂 jeez
my man had balls of steel talking about "fortified corona" 2 years ago
