It needs to be aged in oak! Mtn. Dew was originally meant to be a mixer for whiskey.

This is the first distilling video I've ever watched. Seems like a somewhat more complex process than I thought it would be, but everything made sense.

I loved your attempt. I'm sure it was an interesting taste. If no one has mentioned this yet. Mt Dew makes a Hard MtDew which I love drinking. It comes in several flavors and its 5%ABV. They also make a Hard Monster which is good.

from what I researched, Yes Moutain Dew can ferment if you increase it's acidity PH by like 1 the preservative used to keep it from fermenting no longer works at least that is what works for Mead

When I was in college (50 years ago) we drank quite a few “B & L specials”. 4 ice cubes in a tall 16 oz (Pepsi) glass, add Canadian whisky to float the ice well, then finish with 10 oz of cold Mt Dew. The girls called them “Lemon Drops”. They go down real easy.

Tennessee bottlers Barney and Ally Hartman developed Mountain Dew as a mixer in the 1940s. Soft drinks were sold regionally in the 1930s, and the Hartmans had difficulty in Knoxville obtaining their preferred soda to mix with liquor, preferably whiskey, so the two developed their own.

this is a part of text of research study--> concerning the plans to disallow home distillation of spirits in the forthcoming Finnish Diet in 1863. The research material consisted of 38 letters published in different Finnish language newspapers during a ten‐year time period before and after the diet from 1857 to 1867. The letters were written by rural and, to a lesser extent, urban correspondents comprised by members of different estates - farmers, noblemen, priests, and burghers.so we have a long history of alcohol use and making.

The moment i saw the title of this video I was concerned that the caffeine would be concentrated in the final product. When you started talking about the heart still having a clove/star anise flavor... feeling hot, I was sure that was occurring. I realized that the publishing of the video indicated you hadn't burst your heart due to an overdose of caffeine. When you started discussing caffeine & how you knew it was left in the dregs, I decided I would willingly trust any brew bottled by you. Double Dewty is a great name for the cocktail made from the distilled & raw Dew. I would name the distillate DewDrop Candy Mountain, for the whisky springs. Alternately, Nuclear Dew.

i distilled about ten gallons of mountain dew and sprite i got for free a few months ago. it was pretty good. the next time i try distilling pop i'm gonna buy straight syrup like the use in soda dispensers at resturants.
