Invert Syrup:
6 kg / 13.2 lb of table sugar
4 l / 4.23 quarts water
2 teaspoons of cream of tartar
Simmer for 20 min
Add 1 cup of chopped raisins, the invert syrup and enough water to make a total volume of 60L / 15.8 gal. Use hot or cold water as needed to achieve a pitching temp of 22c / 71f.
Ferment for around 2 weeks until 3 hydrometer readings in a row show no change and register under 1.005.
Perform 3 stripping runs collecting all low wines down to 10% coming off the spout.
Perform a spirit run ideally with a power controller. Collect at "drip drip spirt". Collect cuts into individual jars. Once the run has finished make conservative cuts based on flavour and smell.
Proof the spirit down to 55% ABV and age with roughly 7 medium-sized, well chared US white oak dominoes per 2.5-3 l of spirit. Optionally you can use second use oak.
Age for at least one-month tasting occasionally. If it is getting too tannic remove half the wood and let sit for a while longer.

Just in case you didn’t realize I often include affiliate links in my videos and descriptions.
This will not change the price for you at all, But the seller will buy my a cup of coffee if you purchase from one of the links. Choice eh? - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
So, I'm a chemist. I think I have an idea for something never done on TH-cam (maybe by anyone). There is a niche piece of chemistry equipment called a soxhlet extractor. It basically evaporates a solvent (alcohol) and condenses it. The alcohol then goes into an extraction vessel. After enough collects, it falls into a collection vessel and starts again. It will do this process over and over again until you turn it off. You could put white dog in the bottom and wood chips in the extraction vessel. What you get in the collection vessel after hours would theorhetically be an aged whiskey.
I kinda doubt you’re a chemist otherwise you’d realize that there is no advantage of that over just stirring the wood into the cold alcohol. Soxhlet extractors are used to encourage poorly soluble things to dissolve into a very small amount of solvent, or to extract something off of a solid with a small amount of solvent. The wood needs time because it is dense and the alcohol takes time to penetrate and dissolve the compounds within, and have those compounds osmotically migrate back out. We could achieve faster wooding with sawdust, but then we give up the wood’s own filtering/chromatography effect which slows down tannins more than sugars.
Well done Sir well done. YES, please a beginners guide Bourbon version of this would be a welcome show!
Cheers
As always, great job Jesse!! Very accessible format, thanks for including the freedom units, and props on the B rolls!
Thank you Jesse. You covered it from
A - Z. Great format and a wonderful easy flow you presented
Thanks Jessie, I've been looking for a way to cross over from sugar wash and now you've given me the tools to do it. Cheers!
This was awesome. I’ve recently done my own all grain, and I’m struggling to wait for the wood ageing to complete - too excited to try it!
This was a great video Jessie, congrats on the sponsor too!
I've been using my T500 boiler to make all grain beer. I use a cut to size yoga mat with some elastic straps to insulate it while i mash. It's a great all in one system
Love these kinds of how to videos! Truly appreciate it!
Ohh, this is good Jesse! A lot of information all together in one high quality and fun to watch video! Thanks!
This one’s a real gift! Thank you Jesse. I almost want to get a T500 so I can play along with the same rig. I’m jealous that you give out your tips and tricks to customize the kettle and other ways to maximize the performance and fun of the kit.
This is a great video to pass along to friends who have made homebrew beer and want to get into the distilling hobby.
I've watched and read hours of information on distilling and after 15+ years with this hobby I still learned plenty from this video. I like the relaxed style and that Jesse showed how simple this hobby can be. Many make it out to be a precise scientific project when in reality, relax, experiment, appreciate, and make adjustments next time. Style the brew how you like it - bugger everybody else. Would've been great if you produced this 14 years ago!
Yeah dude I hear you! I think there is definitely a place for the real nitty gritty type stuff. BUT only once you gain the experience to be relaxed with the basics. Gotta have a easy way for the newbies to get started! Cheers mate :)
Great job Jesse, looks like a great recipe worth trying out! I love it when you make a mess (when you lifted the mash bag to drain) because we all have done it. Great video!
As a long time brewer and relatively noob distiller, I like this direction. While your informative vids are, well, informative, this practical and versatile guide is a great new step and as you mentioned, I could see this becoming a series of sorts. And now we wait a month. Cheers.
Awesome video. I love the typical 'shorts', but this style with all the links to earlier videos is a refreshing watch. Would love to see this style a few times a year if you are up for it! I'm sure it was heaps of work. Thank you so much!
Great vid got my t500 in November I will give this a go... really enjoying your podcasts 👍
I love you picked wood based on how easy it was to get. Thank you
Can anyone provide a link to the mentioned wood product? I tried to find it online, however, I struggled to find anything that matched. Thanks
Awesome lovely long vid with stacks of info. Thank you. Definitely on my to do list!
Brilliant videos, I've been deciding if this is the next craft to explore (spent last 5 yrs in a deep barbecue hole) and this is the video that has made me decide to take the plunge. I'll keep working through the videos but if you haven't done a Rum or a Rye version I'd love to see those!
That was awesome.
First time watcher. Loving learning about the craft.
Loved it.
Subscription earned
👍👍👍
Absolutely loved this format. How about a nice rye in an upcoming video. Excellent job explaining your process.
Excellent video Jesse, Informative and spot on for the audience, thank you.
As everyone else has said, great video. Perfect for myself who doesn't have the space/equipment for anything other than a T500. Just came back with all the grains milled. Excited to start. Thanks again for this
Nice one, perfect for advanced beginners.
Hey man, love your channel, I just got my first still today and can't wait to try the cool stuff I have learned from you, George from B&H and Bearded and Board. I am a Bourbon fan and would live to see you do a Bourbon spin on this.
Thanks again and keep um coming.
Great video. I always learn something new. Thank you Jesse.
This was EXACTLY what i was looking for! Im milling the grain as of right now. Can't wait to see how it'll turn out. You are the reason i bought my first still and aren't i lucky it was the T500. Keep up the good work mate!!
Exactly ; looking at the T500
It's very pleasant to watch you, thank you for your work, good luck to you👋👋👋
it was so much work to do this video! thx for it Jesse, you are awesome
Best video yet! I was looking for EXACTLY this receipe
definitely liked the full video aspect of this from start to finish.
Great info mate!👍 i started down this rabbit hole with the T500, now running a modular pot /reflux/bubble plate on a 25L boiler, and have progressed to all grain thanks to your channel.. Cool to see you using the T500 in this way. Cheers!
Hi mate love the video I am going to try this recipe is my first attempt at Carene mash the way you explained it made it look easy thank you
This is going to be my next project! without doubt one of your best videos to date, and that's saying something as your content is excellent. Maybe consider a series like this one where you do a quality vodka, a rum and an all grain. 🥃🇮🇪 Sláinte Jessy☘️
This just what I've been looking for. A step up from sugar wash. Thanks Jesse. I don't have a T500 but I can figure it out for my keg.
Excellent video... I'm still learning how to use my pot still... Can't wait to try my hand at making whiskey
Excellent from start to finish loved it. Will try the recipe but will do without the sugar. Sounds interesting. Was good to see using equipment that a lot of people have access to as beginners. Well done 👍.
Great job. I plan to something like this for my first run. thanks for the info.
for me, thats the best one youve done so far.
Love your work Jesse!
This is an old video but I comeback to it time and time again. Brilliant.
Great vid jes, awsome new idea with the mixed sugar additions
I will try this recepie but without the sugar and maybe add chopped dates.
Keep up the good work mate
I am soooo looking forward to trying this out!!! Great video!
Great stuff enjoyed every minute of it. More power to you👏
Loving the t500 stuff your doing. Keep it up man 🙂
Love what you do Jesse! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm. I’d love to see you make a single malt “Scotch” in this “next step” style. I’m in California, love smokey single malts like Talisker, and am looking to try to make something similar.
I loved my first bottle of Ardbeg a couple of years ago but all subsequent ones are missing this lovely lingering oily tar note. To recreate that taste would be my goal if I were to step into this.
Awesome video man! Love the T500 stuff. Please keep up using it as it's a great entry point for a lot of us getting started in the craft!
Can't wait to try this recipe.
New to the channel. Yankee homebrewer here. You mentioned boilovers with all grain wort. Fermcap S should solve your problems.
I first got into diy ethanol production years ago after watching “Moonshiners” when I fabricated a boiler from a 1/2 bbl Sanke keg and 2” copper pipe... I laugh looking back now on how mystical I thought the mash process of malted grain was. I quickly stopped the evaporative/condensing ethanol hobby after getting discouraged from a few batches of experiments. It wasn’t until years later that I read the first chapter of a homebrewing book where everything finally made sense.
Himate absolutely fantastic giving it ago next weekend love your work 👏
Nice one mate, this will be super useful for newbies! I reckon this format could go great for some kind of fruit brandy - loads of people already forage for berries / apples / plums etc.. locally for fruit wines.
This video is the most accessible with the equipment I was able to buy and now the recipe and process I am going to try. Any of the suggested other recipes with this equipment would be enjoyed. If I had one to pick I'm thinking Rye Whiskey. Great Job! Jessie
Algorithm might be handy for TH-cam but I'd prefer to make my thanks a bit more personal.
This was the VERY first time that I have watched a long TH-cam video from beginning to end and felt that it had enriched my life in some way long term.
Thank you professor, while rum is more my tipple, I'm mad keen to give this one a go.
Thank you once again for the lesson, I truly appreciate it.
Absolutely blown away! Done a 50 liter "next step whiskey" wash using 3kg of sugar and grain, it went from 1.060 to 1.000 in 4 days. Can't wait to run it and see how it turns out. Thank you Jesus 🥃🇮🇪
Hi, this has gotta be one of your best yet and I've been watching and distilling since you started doing videos! I'd like to see a peated whisky sometime. Keep up the good work.
Peated would be awesome
This was an AWESOME video!! I had no idea you could do this with the t500! I have one but just use it for sugar washes.. this will be an incredible experiment!! Thank you!!!!!
Appreciate the effort--my favorite style of Still It vid.
Excellent Jessie
Really enjoyed this video
Keen to see a corn bourbon mash / whisky.
Keep up the great work 😄
Gday J, a top video, exactly matches where I am in distilling right now. Getting out of run of the mill UJ** and experimenting with more grains etc. We will try this one shortly.
Awesome video Jesse, I really appreciate the content this one was super inspiring 🍻
Nice video Jesse. Great in between step. Just need to find more time!
Another GREAT video, Jess! Commenting for the algorithm!!
Your a life saver learned a load because of this channel
Jesse! I absolutely love your channel! I can't do anything with it yet but back in Canada you bet I'll be trying some of these to make a Scotch-esque whisky. I'd really love to see you do a yeast centric video to highlight to differences attained. Even when I move back, I'm considering a micro-distillery license to play around with a lot of these great tips. Much love and appreciation my friend!🥃
Love the LTT reference mate (: laughed and completely agree
Did wine for years. New to beer. Want to distill soon. I watch you and George more than anyone and everyone combined. Do more show and tell please for the new guys. You experienced guys take simple things for granted. During your video I was like... HEY I WANT THAT!... thingy you just showed. No mention of what it is called, how much it costs on average or where to get it. Love you videos, Love your personality. More SHOW n TELL! Please! It's a Missouri Thing. :) Tanks Buckwheat! :)
OH... This was the best video I ever saw you do in my opinion. Thanks Bro! :)
Very well done! I liked this idea of quick whiskey
I have a 500 as well, bought the alembic copper cap. I think it's a little tastier. I've done it both ways thanks to your video's. Love it all dude, I've been a single grain sort of a dude, but I'll give this a try.
One of your best videos Jesse I can really relate to it 👍
Still some of the most informative videos out there
Just got my first T500. stainless steel column, not copper. I have little/no interest in vodkas or 180 proof clear liquor, LOVE your help in learning I can do whiskeys off the bat! ANYTHING you can do toward the whiskey bourbon side in the T500 I would LOVE to see! I'm off to join your Patreon and looking forward to my first run!
Perfect. Thanks just what i was starting to think about
I like your you still set up it is cool in making good whiskey and prices
Awesome video, easy to follow. Looking to do this soon. Would be great to see a bourbon or irish version too.
Cheers
Love this video aimed at us still in the early stages of the hobby. I definitely vote for more using the t500 and how to get the best out of it. Would like to hear your take of the alembic top also.
Thanks for all you do mate
I would love to see different versions of that. I hope to try a sweet feed version.
If you put a pot or bucket in your bag above the grain, you can add water to create weight and help get more wash(instead of turning the bag to squeeze wash out). That allows you to not scald your hands, keeps the mess off your hands, and you can do other things while it's draining
man i discover your channel and it's heaven ! great video too
You for sure killed that segue my guy
I've been brewing for 7 years s04 is great. I've used it in cider, brown ales and I P As. Keeps a far bit of sugar left over around 1.010 to 12 but great esters.
Awesome video and very inspiring!
Thanks... this was very helpful. Much appreciated.
Hey mate lovin' your videos. I'm new to the craft and after some sugar washes under my belt I want to take the Next Step!!! I also have a T500. I was wondering in the setup you used, did you have any packing in the Colum? Keep making videos I'll keep watching!!! Thanks for all your help!
Great video! Like that you took the time to show us how much gain, temp, sugar, the whole process. Helps us not to keep making mistakes ;-) Do you always use 50% for the barrel proof?
This was a great video! Love to see the entire process. I know this is a very "American" thing to say, but would love to see a bourbon done this way!
Love your work mate!!!! I’ve always wanted to try coconut rum do you have a coconut rum recipe?
I'd love to see a peat based one at some point! Great video 👏🙌 admiration coming from the UK
Excellent information.
Hi Jessie, my mate and I have made 2 batches of next step now but have recently learned that squeezing the grain bag releases a lot of tannin. Is there a method for reducing tannins once distilled? Keep up the epic work brother. We are learning so much through your video’s, (although we are still working on perfecting your giggle). Cheers!
Jessie great to see you back dude! Was getting a little concerned but this one is an ace of spades - I’m definitely trying this one!!
Back again?
Cheers mate 👍🥃
@@StillIt I meant back as in back doing the experiments... we don’t see the behind the scenes work and assume you’re just sitting around sipping lattes! 😉
Spiritworks just bought a boiler out with adjustable power and 2 elements, looks great
The comment you made on the relationship between the tightness of the cuts and the aging period was very interesting. I would love to hear more about that. Could make a nice little video on its own.
Yes please Jesse, A guide as to what changes you have seen in your products over time would be fantastic, to give us a clue as to what can be possible. It gets my vote.
Great Stuff as always Jesse & nice to see some distilling again. It makes me want to slow down on the CCVM and drag the T500 back into action. After all we do this to enjoy it so might as well have some fun and switch it up a bit!
Hi ....enjoy these and as a " just beginning" find them very interesting . Going to have a crack at a next step whisky and really like the peated stuff so wondering if you have a recipe for that ......also wondering whether you have thoughts or recommendations for theround using the keg master pot still head on a t500 still . Currently just have the stainless reflux head it came with.
Cheers
Amazing trying it will let u know how it goes!
Gday Jessie great work loved seeing the T500 being used as pot still Im ready to move oil from sugar washes now with your vids. Banana & Honey on bread is the bomb!
Love the vid jessie feels more like your back to where you started. I enjoy your evolution videos but you have more excitement with these kind of videos. Piece n love bro ctc
Hey Jessie my name is Chris and I'm in wallowa Oregon and first off I want to say good job on your channel and that you have been very helpful and informative in my learning process in the past year and a half.. when I'm trying to figure something out of course I watch a bunch of videos but always in the end I end up turning to your channel to find out what I need too. I love to spend an afternoon picking your 🧠. The only thing I've got to Hitch in my giddy up about is I know you try and dumb it down and make things simple for us dummies but you do tend to be a little more technical than I think you know.... Anyhow just smashed up 40 lb of bananas and going to give it a whirl.. I like that your wife made an appearance seem like a lovely woman... Happy trails from Eastern Oregon..
Awesome. I hit the like button then watch the video. Never wrong yet.
Thanks :)
man im absolutly loving your still it ive just upgraded with a t500 with the reflux and alambic top and pot collem so i can begin to do proper mash's and make bourbon ive been binge watching everything and taking notes of everything and super excited to be putting down my first mash and also some top netural sprit as far as i kenw before watching your videos you just remove the first 200ml and collect the rest til it hits 80c
Great video, Jessy! I'm subscribed, when you buy a roll of copper for the still, does it need to be cleaned before using it is used in the still column?
Thanks MM
