- A lot of people have specifically requested that I make sure to have my first taste of finished product on camera. So here it is!
My first taste of home made spirits!
Kinda left me speechless for a while there ;) - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I'm so jealous!!! Awesome seeing the gears turning in your head. "Where's the burn, where's the heat?" Great video!
haha gotta take it easy on those "gears". There's only one of them, and its likely to snap soon ;)
You and Jesse are my favorite when it comes to making drinks.
@@basstard4639 Thanks!
Nice work Jesse. Love your enthusiasm for the hobby. Thanks for sharing bro.
Thanks man. Thanks for joining us :)
Grats on the first taste. You made me jealous! 👍
Cheers Rex. Next mission . . .. single malt!
Pear, cherry, plum,rose hip. Try a small volume if you get enough flavor. If you do not try fresh try dry with no sulfur. The hip just dried :)
Absolutely speechless, the look on your face is that of amazement! Tell Jesse how to you first clean out your big fermenters before you use them?
Think it's great that you started making videos right off the bat. Cheers.
Ha,ha,ha..! Oh man, it's so good to see your first impression about your homemade neutral. Now you know how a Vodka /neutral SHOULD taste..! The lack of the burning sensation is...the lack of crap in your spirits..! It's not like the crappy bottom shelf shit that is sold around (with a huge amount of taxes btw). You just discovered the taste of quality spirit, instead of crappy swill. I can assure you if you get a good recipe for Whisky...you'll be amazed by how that tastes (even if it fresh from the still and not on wood yet).
Congrats on your step forward into the world of fine spirits, you'll never look back..! Btw...you'll begin to taste heads in commercial stuff that is offered to you (I'm not kidding). Now take care and enjoy the fruits of your labor responsible.
I may have had a sip of a commercial spirit the other day, my first thought. "Oh . . . wet dog . . . and cementy chemically crap. That tastes like tails!"
Honestly flavor wise I couldn't pick up a lot in the heads. And just flavor I kinda liked it. Sweet fake fruit. But yeah I did get the burning/pickiness.
Congrats to you! Enjoyed watching you get to here.
Thanks man :) Enjoyed getting here!
I wonder what I would taste like if you let it sit with a filter over it for a day ? Congratulations mate and thanks for brining us along on the journey.
Check in for the next video on Thursday/Friday to find out ;)
And thanks!
So I am wondering why you cut the proof with a calculation instead of using a Proof hydrometer? Wouldn't a hydrometer be more accurate?
keep up the great work ...i hope you surpass your goal within the year ..
+CopperElite thanks man!!
Yet another great video. Glad it turned out well for ya! Lookin forward to future videos!
Thanks :) Nice to get one finished spirit done!
One question that I've had and never asked anyone is, during any part of the process are there any offensive or other smells or odors? I have yet to try my this on my own, but when I do, I'd like to know if this would be something to keep in account. I totally understand the need for good ventilation to prevent a buildup of vapors, just not sure if there is a stink issue, also. Hope to hear back from you, keep up the good work!
A couple of things come to mind.
Boiling an AG wash can have a fairly strong smell to it. But I guess that's more for beer when it boils away for an hr or more. It's not bad, just a strong rich malt smell.
The fermentation can have a fairly strong smell. I don't know if its "bad" I guess it depends on the yeast strain and your personal preferences.
So far all of the tails that come off the still stink the worst. But it is also a relatively contained smell. It doesn't really fill the room.
good things to keep in mind if you are trying to keep a significant other happy?? haha
Good stuff, man. Thank you!
Congratulations and here's to wishing I could help on the taste test.
hahaha wish you could too!
That's awesome... congrats
+Aaron cammon thanks man. Was a pretty cool feeling!
Looking back on it now it definitely isn't as good as I thought it was. But still proud of it as a first attempt!
WooHoo! ! Congrats!! I'm so worried mine will taste like crap lol!!
One sure fire way is to send me a taster and I'll let you know how it is!!
Nah, dude. Smash it! . . . but yeah dude I feel you I was pretty nervous.
Wish I could. Im working on a way to make that legal for me to do just that !
To get this final product., What did you use for your mash??
Hell yeah. I wanna visit you and have a taste session 😋. That would be a cool giveaway. A trip to come hang out with Jesse and make some good drinks.
Jesse could you tell me about your filtering system.
Congrats man!
haha thanks dude! . . . . . . if only I had some one to help me with a blind triangle test . . . . . .
I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE! lol:-)>
waiting waiting waiting... ;-)
haha dude. There are many things that people are waiting on me for!
great little vid. huge difference isnt it. you could even filter it . that will clear out the rest
I think there was a fair bit of hype on my part going into that. But yeah, I am pretty happy ;)
The first spirit i made was a very little amount and I burnt the corn meal. Lol my first time
Jessie don't be teasing me like this lol is it that good for real?I've got a sacrice run almost ready and a ferment underway for drinking mines a tpw but from your expression I don't think I can wait I might just run the sack run now so I can be ready for the real deal lol been a year an a half for me so I'm about as anxious as a kiddie on Xmas eve lol
+iwantit162 yeah dude. It's pretty nuts being that close, and yet just not quite there right?!?
I'm positive that there was some bias/hype involved. But yeah dude. Looks like a noob can make something that is well worth drinking ;)
awsome jessie,im thinking of cheating and doing my water and then vinegar run tonight my sacrificial is at 12.5% now so would be good to run its only 25ltrs for a sac run so shouldnt need to be perfect just need to get some of that alcohol to polish up the insides and do a thorough clean and get a feel for the beast.only problem ive got is no packing at present.should be fine for a sac run tho
Sweet dude!
Did it all work out? Yeah, I didn't have my packing in for the sac run either.
hey jessie my first run (i didnt record legal reasons self incriminating ect lol) i ran my 3 cleaning runs and then ran a 40ltr wash through my keg part reflux of tpw which gave me 5 litres of 90% white rum (i dont know if its the tomato or the stainless scrubbers but tastes like bacardi white) its frickin awsome tho!i didnt taste smell or feel any foreshots or heads but discarded 150ml fores and 200ml heads put to one side.im going to try your ffv soon once i have some empty bottles again also going to do a kale sugar wash!its awsome ive got about £150 of rum for under £15 (roughly 12 litres once tempered down) 2 decent runs like that and ive already saved myself the cost of the still onwards and upwards buddy wahooo.
good vid
Thanks man :)
it's a good life now I see how a man could go to town with egges milk and a jar a corn hhhee..
Indeed he could ;)
Congratulations - May I say I told you so?
Indeed you may sir!
50 vol. not 40.
If you ever seen me giving dislike, its only for ads, changing it to like after ad and your video continues.. And this is just a comment :D
