I often include affiliate links in my videos and descriptions. This will not change the price for you at all, but the seller will give me a small kickback. Cool eh?

    You can make your own juice concentrates by freeze distilling. I've made my own apple juice concentrate with this method when there was a sale on apple juice. Had to reduce the amount of space somehow. Using heat will ultimately caramelize sugars and change flavor more than you expect. *My method was to pour an amount of apple juice into a cup (to allow for the expansion of water), put the cap on loosely and freeze the entire gallon solid. You can suspend the upended frozen block of apple juice with the lid off over a large jar to collect the concentrate. Sugars melt first (with flavor) this is your concentrate. Once your block has lost most color and mostly looks like a chunk of ice it's pretty much done. Save the meltwater for sun tea or other fermentable projects as it will still have a pleasant flavor and possibly some residual sugars (there doesn't have to be waste in this process). Hope you find this helpful. ✌️

    Freezing fruits will help breakdown into a better flavor many times, when unfrozen it breaks down the cells when they expand. The pure vanilla is absolutely a must, so many people don’t use and and don’t know what they are missing.
  • @StillnTheClear
    I love the side by side videos. And, OMG, I love your face on the thumbnail!
  • @lanceb1980
    Been watching you, bearded, and Gorge's videos for a few months now. Gave me the courage to try and brew my own apple cider. Thank you so much for putting out awesome content.

    Lovely video as always! I would like to share with you guys a traditional apple liqueur recipe from Transylvania. It is the way the apple liquor is made for hundreds of years so if you want a taste of old school booze you should try this: 5 green apples, honey (to taste 2-7 tablespoons), 1 litre of vinars 45-55% ABV (that is wine moonshine or cognac before ageing), 1 litre of tescovina rachiu 45-55% ABV (it is a fermented and distilled spirit from unfermented grapes pomace. Add sugar and water to the pomace, let it ferment, distill and you have tescovina rachiu or tzuica de tescovina). Put all ingredients in a suitable jar and macerate for 1 month. Strain and enjoy or further age in mulberry wood barrels. Now... I know it may be difficult to get all this ingredients but you can substitute as following to get as close as possible: Distil some red demi-sweet wine (dry wine up to 4g/L sugar, demi-dry 4-12g/L sugar, demi-sweet 12-50g/L sugar, sweet over 50g/L sugar) that would be your vinars. Distil some white demi-dry wine that would be your tescovina rachiu. find some dry untoasted or charred mulberry wood to add in the jar. After one month strain, recover the wood and continue ageing until is finished. In winter when you sit by the fire you can drink it hot by boiling it briefly with some cinnamon and peppercorns. Enjoy!

    Love the passion and sentiment in your eyes when you talk about your Nan's apple crumble! Love the show too. Keep up the good work mate! Cheers!
  • I have mode George's apple pie moonshine several times and love it. I am excited to put a Aussie spin on it. Great video as always and I enjoy seeing all of the different ways to reach and end state. Thanks
  • @PoppaLongroach
    Love me some Old School Corn Apple Pie! This video covers all the bases Good stuff!
  • @apex.amatuer
    Your videos are keeping me sane while I wait for fermentation. Thanks for inspiring us and teaching us bro.
  • @keithmccollister
    I'm going to give a secret for people who like to use the cream flavor vodka.. I'm going to give a small ratio and then you can turn that into bigger batches.. 5 lb of sugar 2 lb of cornmeal. Two handfuls of oatmeal. One to two handfuls of rice. 1 and 1/2 bags of marshmallow. 2x2 piece of grated ginger to put in your mash.. your moonshine will have a hint of cotton candy or some kind of cream as it goes down The aftertaste will be creamy or like cotton candy possibly even birthday cake and then you don't need the vodka cream
  • @paulvolland105
    THANK YOU ALL I'm new to destilling and have found that Jesse, bearded and board, and Bever diy are a fabulous source of information. The videos that the 3 of you produce have not only get me excited about destilling but also give me some idea of what to expect from my distillation. I've toasted my own wood. I've just run off my 2nd run ever. This was a mango Brandy that I'm aging on sugar maple. I've build my own pot still and toasted my own wood. None of this would have been possible without you thanks so much and keep making videos
  • Love this episode type! Love to see it with other flavors. Like maybe a summertime lemonade-esque version.
  • @martink9785
    Good to see you explore different methods 👍 thanks
  • @Sadistichippo
    I just found your channel over the easter weekend Jessie and I must say im obsessed! Thanks for the content from a new Aussie follower!
  • @nigelwhite1483
    Funnily enough last week I've just done my first apple pie moonshine and used George's from barley and hops recipe with a few tweaks less cinnamon and cloves and it turned out great like you say the smell brought back loads of memories keep up the great work 👍
  • @terischannel
    This is great! I grew up with apple pies that had a crumble topping.
  • When I make it I generally use Honeycrisp apples and juice. Love this Jessie! Thanks!
