      This is intriguing. I'm not a fan of sweet drinks like Jagermeister, so this could be a fun way to make them less sickly. And then whether Gin+de-syruped Jagermeister would make a fun variation on a martini. It's probably easier for me to find than a decent dry vermouth.

The word-by-word subtitles seem to always have the phonetically-similar mistakes that voice-to-text is notorious for making.
      That said, maybe TH-cam offers a middle ground option where you provide the raw transcript text and let TH-cam do the timing automatically. Now I'm curious and going to have to check, heh.

    In the early 80's, when I was about 12 years old, my grandmother moved into a nursing home and had about 40 gallons of various home made wines that were no longer fit for drinking. We (my parents and me a quick learner) ran the wine through a water distiller similar to what you use. We would add about a half gallon of water to a gallon of wine in the distiller. The alcohol floats to the top and evaporates first, after trial and error, we figured out approximately how much "mostly" alcohol we would get from a gallon of wine and half gallon of water. To test, we would take a tablespoon of the distilled liquid coming out of the distiller, if it lit on fire, we knew we were getting "mostly" alcohol, if the liquid would no longer ignite, we knew we were only getting mostly water. At this point we would stop the distiller and discard what was remaining. There was always some water left in the spoon after we lit it and the alcohol burned off, so it was not 100% alcohol, but still very high. There really wasn't much of a flavor left in the finished product, one could not tell what kind of wine had been run through the distiller.

    However, please refrain from using a plastic funnel for high ABV sprits. It WILL dissolve some of it and leach into your spirits.
    Glass, copper, or stainless steel are the appropriate materials for distilling equipment. A stainless steel funnel only costs a few $ and lasts forever.
