You make some excellent videos Jesse. Your videos taught me all that I know about distilling, had a work accident and haven't been able to distill for awhile and lookin forward to it

Ooh, I like this format. So, more VERY basic things get a vote from this viewer!

Thank you for the video! I'm very new to the craft and after two AG runs that produced a low OG (1.040) I based my third one off this video. It's currently fermenting wonderful and my OG jumped to 1.072. I'm excited to see what the end product is like. I'm loving it to include loving the knowledge I'm gaining from my mistakes. So thankful for guys like you that invest in putting the knowledge out there. Cheers!

Great video as always, have you considered a link to a printable pdf for your recipes and methods for your vids? I know it might be a little more of your time but would be greatly appreciated by the community I would think. Keep up the fantastic work your doing.

Seems like you’re really finding your love and excitement about your channel and craft again. Stoked to see it.

Great recipe, I'll try it. Difficult for beginners to get so many variations.... You, Bearded, George, are my go to. Thank you guys very much!! You are saving lives in ZA...

This video is fabulous Jesse… I am a T500 newbie and I think this video has enough information for me to “step up” and try my first grain mash. I can see myself rewatching your video a number of time to make sure I have “got it” all 😀 - thanks for the inspiration.

Really cool video! Never distilled anything but this definitely makes the subject more approachable. Hope to give this a try one day when I have some space to do it!

Loved the video, been homebrewing and professionally brewing for years but been looking to get into distilling, so thanks for a great beginners video

As a noob, I simply cannot express how much I enjoy your channel!! Thank you so much for all you do!!

Another awesome video! Well worth the wait. Not sure if it was your review on the T500 that did it Jesse, but I just unpacked anther boiler so I could do two runs at once, and bugger me sideways! - there is now two power switches at 1100W each. AND a snazzy stainless ball valve for faster emptying or hooking up to a pipe to run to a sink. Fecking awesome! Thank you so much for everything you do for this community. ❤

Legit inspired me to buy a still. I used to distill for my old man in the laundry as a kid while he was at work during school holidays. No way I would let my ten year old do that but it was a different time I guess. Gonna do it all over again myself. Nice way to remember him.

I live in Canada, where the government taxes alcohol products so much they're essentially unaffordable for working-class people like myself. I make beer for myself but want to graduate to hard liquor (screw Trudeau! He won't get my tax dollars if I can help it!) so thanks for sharing this recipe.

For me making a good beer is WAY more harder then distilling a liquor. A lot of things can go wrong on every step which couldn't be fixed later at all. And it's taking a lot more time. Making a cider was a bit easier. At least I didn't failed three times in row like with a beer ;-) In my country it's legal to make any alcohol for yourself without any taxes. But you can't sale it, that's highly illegal.

As you already make beer, you are already 90% of the way there. Just don't add hops to your beer, and you already have mash. Making a still out of a large pot and copper tubing isn't that hard. You will need a torch. Just be careful you don't attract the prying eyes of the local mounties. It is illegal to produce any amount of spirits in Canada without a license.

Thanks for talking George into getting back on KZread making videos again. He has a world of knowledge that should be shared.

I have been chasing the craft for the better part of my life. When I found your KZread channel I thought you had a talent. Always the student, never the master. Keep the newbies coming but every once in a while put an interest for the old hats. You have gave me quite a few great recipes and gave me an expensive love of distillation devices. Thank you for that

I've been brewing mead cider and wine for a number of years now. I'm thinking about upping my game and start brewing bourbon. I love Woodford Reserve. Thank you for your videos, they have been a big help in starting my newest hobby.

TLDR: my mistakes and what I learned from first run, grab a 10 gallon cooler and a ball valve for a CHEAP mashtun I just started this part of the crazy home brewing hobby. Tried my first batch of corn mash and it was a disaster. Not enough space in pot, corn clumped up and cooled way too quickly. LEARN FROM ME, grab a 10 gallon cooler from homedepot and a ball valve and a bazooka filter to replace the spigot. Makes mashing and holding temp SUPER EASY and the filter lets you drain out with silicone tube into your fermenter. You can even drill a hole and use an airlock as a fermenter as well. It’s plenty of room to use for a 5 gallon still and will give you enough mash to run 2 runs. Best decision I made

Thank you for all your hard work and generous helping of knowledge 👍love this channel

I just completed my first batch of the Bourbon, It taste very good😊. My next step the aging process in the Badmo Barrel for 3-4 months!💯 my next one I am trying without the Honey Thanks again!

Awesome video Jesse! 💯🥃💯. Your videos get me excited to go out and chase the craft with heart and soul. 🥃💯🥃 Instead of using table sugar use corn sugar for a better result. I’m heading out to the garage to make this recipe! thanks brother! Are one of the OG of the Craft!🥃💯🥃

Wow. I’ve always been very interested in making whiskey. This video is definitely helpful.

Thank you for the "Freedom Units" measurement information. Made my day.

Hey bro, I made my first kind of all grain bourbon 3 days ago. Kind of, because I recalled your safety net video. I used malted corn, malted barley, and cracked wheat. I also added treacle molasses with 3kg inverted sugar. It smells awesome! Got 25lts at 1.075. Thanks man for all the education and inspiration you give to chase this craft👌🍻

Nice one Jesse, will definitely be trying out this one.

I've never distilled anything in my life, but I am SO keen to try this. Gotta do more research.

I really like your new studio, and this is a great recipe.

This Bourbon is fabulous! This is/was my first grain mash and now - two months on, still with some toasted oak, thought I would check it was tasting okay…..WOW!!

Hi Maddi, I'm green as, keen to know how your journey has been going from newbie to now 6mths in? I'm looking at equipment & knowing myself will be happier going with gear I can grow into rather than cheap stuff to get started then having to upgrade. Think I'll start with sugar wash/gin & playing with the botanicals, but this recipe looks much closer to an achievable grain bourbon for a DIY person. Sounds like your chomping at the bit to give this a go! Cheers

Nice! These are the vids I like best! Thanks!!!

You are amazing, thank you for your knowlwdge and experience.

I'm slightly interested is distilling (been doing beer for a while) and now I'm very interested. Even just listening to Jesse is a blast... I had him on in the background while I worked and he had me laughing.

I get all my beer gear from Northern Brewer. They don't sell distilling-specific stuff like stills, but for pots, fermenters, air locks, brew bags, refractometers, and all that such it's pretty reliable.

Thank you Patreon!!!

Hi Jesse. Rod Harrison from South Oz here. I'm a big fan of your channel and this recipe gave me the confidence to have my first go at all grain distilling. While I substituted Crystal malt for the Shepard's Delight and added a bit of Light Coffee, because that's what was easily available to me, the result was nothing short of exceptional. I aged it for three months on charred oak staves and while I'm no Bourbon expert, It's , if I say so myself, the best Bourbon I've ever tasted. Several friend have said the same so I'm stoked. While I'm typing this I have a mash for your safety net Single Malt on the go. I'll let you know how that turns out. I've also been turning out some pretty interesting Gins from my Vevor "Water Distillation Unit" air still. Awesome unit for $110 AU with a digital temp control boiler. Way cheaper and just as good as the expensive units. Keep up the great content. Regards, Rod.

Breckenridge and Woodford Reserve are both very good and pair very well with a Leaf Cigar.

I have been making all-grain beer since 2009. I have a massive RO water filter system, I build water profiles for each batch and have done most everything when it comes to all-grain beer making. The biggest shift in quality came with pressure fermenting. Isn´t it time you go all out beer geek into all-grain brewing? There is so much there to discover. I bet pressure fermenting can even alter a sugar wash. Be brave :D

Great video! Thankyou!

for a simple sparging set up, take two 5 gallon food safe buckets. poke small holes in the bottom of one, a lot of holes. in the other bucket, make a drain. I have one with a spigot and those are available for beer making. Put the "colander" bucket inside the other, the grain in that and just pour hot water slowly over the grain. Some beer makers actually set up a spinning water dispersal system to sparge grain on top of the bucket and there are kits to turn am 8 gallon cooler into a sparger but this way is a lot cheaper.

Very good looking safety net recipe, mine is a lot more corn and a lot less sugar. 50 litres of water, 10 kg corn, 3.5 kg malt, 3 kg malted rye, 0.5 kg oats, 0.5 kg black malt/dark crystal malt (depending on whats available), 1 kg demerara sugar. I do like the idea of adding the honey I'll have to give that some thought.

Best recipe ever!

Thank you. Very professional 👏. Any one tried this at home?

Замечательная подача материала!

New to the Craft and LOVE your videos. Enjoy your little tweaks to "bourbons" I am going to try this one or the Peated Bourbon next. I've only done run other recipe so I am very green to this hobby. Where can I find the AM-1 yeast or the other one you use in the "Peated Bourbon"? Or what would be close here in the States. Thanks! And keep up with the awesome videos

For all the low-income folks out there. I didn't have the money for a still. So I used a pressure cooker that I had. I put a piece of plastic on the end of it. I used it as a connector. With a coil of copper tubing connected to it. I made a few runs on it, but I didn't cut it any. once bottled I put it in my freezer for a few hours to let it cool down. Once it chilled it tasted like water.

I've just run across your channel and enjoy your videos. My alcohol making experience is limited to a several month long lab project in the 1970's working with manufacture of alcohol from grain dust (I was associated with a large grain merchandising firm at the time). The experiments proved the successful fermentation of grain dust from an elevator. My question is why do you use sugar (sucrose) as opposed to dextrose/glucose? The yeast would be more effective in starting with a simple sugar as opposed to sucrose which needs to be cleaved for the yeast to utilize. When starting from whole grain the boiling stage gelatinizes the starch and the enzymes convert the starch to simple sugars. I did find the different fractions of the distillate interesting with the different aromas given off. The green apple comment struck home as one in particular. I used a lab thermometer to differential between the different fractions and with a bit of observation could determine the cuts that I wanted. Granted, none of this was for drinking purposes but rather for gasohol. In any case, thanks for the interesting content!

I just started making vodka I just finished making your lazy ass vodka mash. I love it. I thought it was gonna be a yucky using oats and all but it’s so simple and I understand you and that really helps me. Just really enjoy your content. Thank you for making these videos and it taste so good

Hey Jesse love the Chanel and your my go to for learning. Did you proof it down before the spirit run?

Have you considered using corn sugar instead of table sugar? For a bourbon, the starch mostly breaks down into glucose anyway, the off flavor from the sugar may be coming from the fructose. So using dextrose instead of sucrose may get a beginner a lot closer to a bourbony spirit. It's also readily available in the US. (You can also use corn syrup)

Hey Jesse. I'm going to try this recipe soon. I have some knowledge of the craft and have done some wheat bran washes and such. I'm just curious. Why remove the grains from the ferment? Why not leave them and ferment them together? Is there some cons to this? Thanks a lot for your vids. They are great 👍

I recently did 2 runs of corn. Added 10 extra lbs of sugar to 2nd run. 6 gallon mashes and all else was equal, I got 4 quarts above 100 pf with low sugar, 6 quarts over 100 pf with added sugar. They will mix and go into an oak barrel, once I bottle the single malt in there now (today actually, lol) so I know the end result will be good 👍👍

Using Honey in beer making, I find that honey, being 96% or so fermentable sugar, really does not add much in the way of flavor, but does kick the alcohol up a bit, and makes for a drier finish. With you distilling it, I would be surprised if you noticed any flavor change at all. I would love to see a video on Brandy making, especially Calvados. P.S. I did find your brandy and apple brandy videos!

I use honey in some beers, I find add honey after primary dies down helps retain some of that flavour. The referment is more gentle and less violent than the initial fermentation so those aromatics don't get driven off as much.
