- In this video, we are back doing an experiment, Wild yeast VS Distillers Yeast.
We Started with a LOW ABV sanitized solution for both the yeast samples.
Left them to ferment and build a 1-litre colony, this was then used to do 2 sugar washes with only invert sugar and nutrient.
So to focus on the flavor the yeast will add to the wash, the Wild yeast took 9 days to ferment and the distiller yeast fermented to dry in 5 days.
Both sugar washes were 8% ABV washes to give the yeast a level playing field.
Both washes were distilled to a low ABV of 65% to pull flavor into the product, the final result was 1.2l @ 65% (130 PROOF) and 1.3l @ 65% (130 proof) we then proofed both down to 50% ending up 1.6l @ 50% (100 proof).
There was a difference between the 2 very slight but different.

Thank you! I like your style - which is based in knowledge, good content and right decisions in content, which is interesting for beginners and for me too :). I am in hobby about 10? years... Something like that and it is always interesting to know how others do that stuff. Yes. Wild yeast. I do it similar. Fresh grapes or raisins with berries and with grains and quinces I blend in the blender. Add sugar and mix everything and store it in the 0.5L glass container with kitchen paper on the top. It starts bubbling after 3-4 days. This is good for whiskey type alcohols. Sometimes I add wine yeast after fermentation in that jar for mixing flavors to the next batch. P.S. In one video of yours I find something new and now I understand it better - boiling of wort before fermentation is interesting thing! Yeast is similar to us - "he" loves hydrated and soft mixes of sugars. I see it now, when I make beer. It is very interesting subject... Temperatures, water, yeast, boiling... Yes. :) Good video! Thanks! 👍🥂
Hi Ansis.
Awesome glad you find my video interesting.
Are there any topic you think should be answered.
@@BEAVERDIY I don`t know. :) I watch Jesses videos, sometimes Bearded videos too. I think about chemical aspect of distilling... This is very nasty subject and I think 99,9% of distillers try to burn me in the fire of revenge... . This subject I think is not for show, but it is interesting because in the distillate is volatile fractions with boiling point after 100 degree Centigrade. We can`t remove them by distillation, because distillation process is in temperature range from evaporation at 50 degree Centigrade to boiling point of water, which is at 100 degree Centigrade. All nasty chemicals are in distillate present like Acetaldehyde at 102 degree Centigrade, Methyl Propanol at 108, Butanol 117, Methyl Butanol 129, e.t.c. I will send papers to you for knowledge of subject to your email. It is must to know.
@@Ansis99 awesome, send me the info and lets see how we can do a video on the subject without getting hell fire raining down...
@@BEAVERDIY It`s done. I have sent. :)
I think you hit it right on the nail. Wild yeast is unpredictable, but often more interesting flavours. Also freely available. Distillers is reliable and quick, but also clean. Good vid Dude.
Hi Sean.
So true, the wild yeast is great for mostly sugar content from the base fruit and not so great for high sugar washes
Interesting. Thanks for the vid. Didn't think wild yeast would knock down an 8% wash. Learn something new every day.
Hi Davron.
I was lucky to get a strain that managed it, was a huge challenge to keep it going but it got there.
Beaver, Rum and Dunder Pits... Definitely let it run wild!
Cheers man!
True ed true.
Very interesting Beaver always learning great hobby Cheers!!
Thank you randy.
Really cool Corn Whiskey you are busy with...
Awesome 👍
That was awesome love the experiments
very cool vid.
Really cool experiment broer!
Thank you brother missing you on the tube...
Very interesting, thank you.
Thanks, again we learn from you and your experiments.They say that Popcorn Sutton's fermenting shed was so full of wild yeast that he never needed to add any yeast to his moonshine.
Hi Hannes.
The monks had a beer stick that imparted the yeast into there brews, thinking of delving deeper into this to make my own yeast paddle
You need to do a colab with some of the others once a month wher you send each other some tasters and you all go through the same process.
Hi Nelly.
Who do you think we should challenge.
Always wondered about this one. Thanks for the vid!
Super cool video. I seem to have the best luck when I use oranges for wild yeast. I mush up a orange peel and all and sprinkle some sugar on it with a little water in a bowl. It almost always starts freminting and it's been constantly pretty good fremintations the times I've done it.
Awesome thanks Spike will give it a go, thanks
I love this experiment! I have always wanted to harvest my own wild yeast. One day I will. Thanks beaver!!
Nice comparison of yeast strains! Thanks and keep up the great work!
As usual great contend! greeting from germany. :)
Hi Bud.
Thank you, my grandfather was from Germany.
If you really want to go wild, run your sugar wash through a used underpants first. Then let it ferment out. It will have some ballsy flavours.
Hi Louw.
Ek is bang daai gaan my maak leeu loop
Bols brandy?
Good video. i will not try it because its just asking for an infection by something gross or just toxic.
a brilliant test would be, the " mainstream" yeasts in comparison,, eg: Bead yeast vs DADY vs Blue Hybrid vs EC1118.. etc..etc.. a top 10 yeast shootout... for 1) SUgar washes, Grain Washes, Molasses, etc...
Hi Johan.
If you have a contact that can send.me some yeast, strains will love to do that side by side...
Very interesting, I will try a wild yeast ferment this summer.
Hi Mottom.
Awesome just be careful some yeast strains do some weird ass sh#t.
Really cool to do.
@@BEAVERDIY I have grapes in my yard so I can try the same experiment when they are ripe.
How did you get on, I'm going to try collecting my own yeast to see if I can get a better taste than turbo yeast, and develop my base recipe for apple, corn and oats mountain Brandy further
Hey B, great video. I have never taken the time to do a side by side like this, and enjoy watching this type of content. Grandfather only used wild yeast from the fruits to make plum brandy. The most interesting thing to me, is how different strains of wild yeast taste from different areas as little as 1 or 2 miles apart.
That is so true. My grandfather that I learnt from never use store bought yeast... and some ferments went great other just went sour.
@@BEAVERDIY B, we are a world apart yet simular in so many ways its crazy. Catch you nextime brother.✌✌
That means we can use wild yeast for distilletion
What was the original gravity... the biggest issue with wild yeast is a low alcohol tolerance
Hi Tom.
Both starter jars were @ 4% ABV and for fermentation we bumped it to 8 % to give wild yeast a chance.
I always use light brown sugar in my washes, I have never tasted the "sugar bowl" that everybody refers to .... maybe a good thing, but bad for my education
Jip that is true some sugars have less off a bite than the others.
Goeie more
Baie dankie vir al jou great videos help baie en leer baie van jou channel af. Wat dit nog better maak is jy is van SA.
Will net weet oor die koper geyser still is daar enige updates?
Hi Phillip.
Still nog op die back burner, mal besig aan die kant, hoop om vinnig aan hom te kan werk. As jy enige voorstelle het laat my asb weet.
Dankie
Want ek het 2 koper geysers self wat ek moet nog aan werk en sukkel self om tyd te kry vir dit . Ek het al gedink om dit n hybrid te maak wat krag en gas gaan wees om die tyd wat dit vat on my wash warm te maak te verminder.
@@phillippotgieter7366 dit kan goed werk net jou drade goed beskerm dat vlam hul nie bros maak nie.
As jy 2 het al gedink aan a steam infusion still
Sorry ekt nog nie gehoor van n steam infusion still nie kan jy asb help en verduidelki
Mmmm... I'm wondering... het daai pramvien kop toe gegaan?? 😁😜🥃💥
Altyd my vriend altyd
@@BEAVERDIY 🤣💥😁
Now should you....
Make a whiskey...
My girlfriend has a yeast infection, can I use that to save me from running to the shops? lol
Might not be that good of an idea, you will have to make a big batch for her to get into...LOL
