Thanks for hosting us, Jesse! New Zealand is amazing and hanging with you and the fam was a ton of fun! 10 days wasn’t long enough. So we’ll be back… Next week too soon?
Those plates are pretty cool, and a very reasonable price from your website. But they're 1.5 inch right? Could you fit them on Jesse's Pure Distilling or T500 setup?
@@bilz0r yup 1.5 inch ferrules. You could definitely. But you would need to either DIY or get a conversion kit to put ferrules onto the pot. Also really need manual power control for the pot. But that's not too hard to DIY.
@@StillIt I did nearly this same thing with Redbull. It tasted like rocket fuel. We called it Reactor #4 after the Chernobyl accident and only found it tolerable mixed with cream soda. Cheers mate.
i love that stainless fermenter. back when i used to brew and distill i just used that naff, seemingly ubiquitous translucent white plastic tub. it got the job done but with no frills and with the low down tap you didn't have to worry about sediment - made racking a breeze, and really simplified saprging. but i love watching people do it right and with *much* better equipment, which i sincerely hope shines through in the finished product.
Lightning Dew. A blend between white lightning and mountain dew. Reminds me of the old White Lightning song lyrics: "I asked my ol' pappy why he called his brew, White lightning 'stead of mountain dew, I took one swig and right away I knew, As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue"
There was a guy who makes mead on Instagram and he just made a Mountain Dew Mead. He said basically the same thing you guys are saying in regard to tasting notes. Also, I've found a great method for flattening soda is freezing it all the way and then thawing it out because the CO2 stays suspended in liquid but separates in a solid so when you thaw it out, the gas escapes.
Since y'all learn a lot from us as friendly as I can I'll say the God in your bible is Ba'al and you can thank the vatican for that because the little horn of Daniel vatican rewrote the modern KJV and wrote the quran giving us a one world religion and they changed the name of our Father Yehovah to God meaning Ba'al so when you say God bless He hears Ba'al bless.
Just dilute the everclear in mountain dew. Something I used to "dew" in my younger and dumber years. Spent a good part of my first leave block after turning 21 doing exactly that; ~3/4" of EC in a slushie cup and the rest is MD. Sit and sip and play far cry while my best bud was at work 👌
just add your favorite flavors of sweetened kool-aid packs straight in to the everclear bottle or yu can even desolve a full bag of worthers candy's in the ever cLear and it's just as good.
I'm a Dew-head from waaaaaayyyyy back. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing something this awesome! Appreciated the video from start to end.
Here's an idea for a larger scale fermentation. Buy a box of Mountain Dew syrup. A five gallon bag produces roughly 30 gallons of soda. I'm also curious to know what barrel aged version of this would taste like. I work as a Distiller, I wonder if my boss would let me try this?
I hadn't thought about Cheerwine in a while, but suddenly i'm really missing the stuff from the other side of the Atlantic. Not sure about distilled, though. ;)
Nicely done boys!! Back in the 90s, we mixed Mtn Dew & Vodka and for some reason named it the Green Jesus. Not only was it a fun drink to bring along when skating, it doubled as 'better than water' to use in our bongs. 🤘🤣
Nice to see this collab with @clawhammersupply. Really like both channels as a hobby brewer and distiller. Learned a lot from you guys. All supported by the Dutch Amstel bier. It's all in the detail😂. Greetings from the Netherlands. ❤
American Mountain dew has brominated vegetable oil in it. I noticed when I was serving in Iraq the mountain dew taste different and didn't have that ingredient in it.
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
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.
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.
Mt Dew Liqueur --> Mundu Liqueur Reasoning: it sounds good and it's on point. If you are slurring, MountDew sounds like Mundu I just didn't like the name DewShine, so I wanted to come up with a better name. With inspiration of some Off Brands, I came up with some alternatives: Mountain Concentrate, Pure Dew, Dew Spirit, and Distilled Cloud (As dew ponds are also called Cloud Ponds). Off Brands of Mountain Dew Mountain Lightning (Great Value @ Walmart) Mountain Rush (Shasta from Bargain and Wholesale markets) Mountain Breezee (Signature Select @ Safeway/Albertsons) Mountain Frost (Summit @ ALDI) Moon Mist (Faygo from weird non-grocery places such as a liquidation store or small regional chain business)
"No pretty way to do this" is so true. I dumped dozens of gallons of Mt. Dew on my first day working at Pepsi. The bottles weren't full and the radioactive detector kicked them into the reject sink. I mostly stabbed the bottles with my pocket knife because it was faster and easier than taking the caps off. My hands were dyed yellow for days.
Radioactive detector? May I ask kindly,as a fellow food industry worker but in cheese. Why in the name of the gods is their a radiation detector for mt. Dew..
I remember being in Nelson hospital after a bike versus car incident, on the second day I got up, limped to the "lovely" toilets and had a leak, I was pretty out of it and didn't even think twice about why my urine was pink. I asked one of the nurses later why it was pink, she said, ahh you obviously had kidney or bladder damage and WHY didn't you TELL us ! still whacked on Morphine I just smiled shrugged my shoulders and went back to lie down lol...so it wasn't the mountain dew that I was drinking lol...
There's just one thing that I think COULD still be used as an excuse. They don't want to break the Geneva Conventions.....because that's a f**king war crime you're talking about there.
I liked and hearted this comment. Then I got curious and googled it. I am considering taking it all back haha. Fish in a can is against my religion I think.
OK, hear me out. There's an old Appalacian song my grandfather used to sing called Good Ole Mountain Dew. One line Said "the buzzards in the sky get so drunk they can't fly from smelling that good Ole mountain dew." So I think it should be a Double Buzzard.
ah dear, I am going to get banned for this but when he said concentrated mountain dew and subtitles read concentrated mountain Jew, oh dear. I Shouldn't laugh :/
Mountain Dew - based on origins...the fresh dew in the morning on a mountainside...vigor, refreshing. The dew itself is condensed drops of water... Moonshine...condensed alcohol... If we have condensed both into one then all thats left is "The Shining"
I actually saw that when editing this. Kinda wish I knew about it earlier. Could have worked it into the vid somehow. Malt beverage aye? Interesting I had assumed it was more seltzer like. Cheers mate.
I think you guys should try the same thing with either Sundrop or Cheerwine. These are 2 of western North Carolina's favorite soda drinks. I actually like Double Dewty, it's a great name!!
Since you have created a moonshine derived from Mountain Dew, a beverage with a name that literally means moonshine. And since it did also originate from Appalachian states, you could pay homage to the birthplace of American moonshine and call it, Appalachian Rain... But if you're going to stick with Double Duty, you definitely need to spell it as, Double Dew-Tea. 😊 And if you dew end up bottling it and decide to that name, I'll gladly take any royalties that you might be willing to throw my way!🫡
There's another channel a guy that makes different types of mead at home and even sells a DIY kit to make your own. He actually made and fermented a mountain dew mead (old fashioned type of wine) it's posted on RUclips few months ago.
I am absolutly gonna feed my alcohol addiction because of your channel. On the cheap. Thank you from the bottom of my still beating heart. I cant wait till this obsession kills me.
Great idea, next time i brew some beer i will add some mountain Dew to the process. Using a barley malt, some bavarian hop and a ipa yeast. The last time i add 500g of mate to 35 liter mash.
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.
"Mountain Dew-Shine" "Mountain Done" "Shrek" "Turtle Tonic" "Dew-Shiners Delight" "Full Circle" "Ghetto Blaster" I would buy some if you sold it in stores!
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.
Iv seen someone else do this same thing like a few months ago or they made wine put of it? One of the 2 but it was the color that was the biggest issue
I get that the distilling is collecting a fraction of the liquid, but I'm curious: Is cold crashing not helpful at all? In wine making you want to get as much yeast out as possible. The flavor gets better over time...a huge improvement in a week or two. In distilling, does cold crashing not help with the flavor?
Interesting! I've fermented many store-bought drinks, and also coffee (into a wine). Turned out quite bitter, but it was really nice after cold-distilling. A bit like a cream liquor like Bailey's. I wonder if that would be a thing for you to try?
Considering the silly amount of bottles of Mt Dew you had to buy to do this, wouldn't it have been easier (and cheaper) to just buy boxes of the syrup (Ie. from Sam's Club or equivalent) to serve as the base for the fermenting?
Speaking as a man who loves Mountain Dew, I've never thought it mixed or modified well. "Dew-drivers" with vodka and MD are thin, boozy and dreadful compared to a Jack & Coke, for example. The artificial orange/lemon flavor isn't really complex enough to assert itself in a mix, and also MD is famously low in carbonation (part of why I love it). It has an absolutely UNIQUE flavor profile as they go (witness the abomination that is Great Value Mountain Thunder) but that's really more of a market choice - way more people like Sprite & 7up (which is 50/50 lemon lime instead of 75/25 orange lemon, and is also very fizzy, which I hate, but makes for a better cocktail).
have you ever tried md & tequila? a nice quervo gold ? difference being, mix a tiny dish of salt & a tinier bit of sugar, rather than coating the lip of the glass, just have a dab in a shot glass, sip from the bev,lick your finger tip & tap the salt /sweet mix & lick your finger again, rolling the tastes together! so noice!
I bought this much MtDew when they had it on super sale. Whole shipping cart full... Didn't notice until I was walking out the door that I was wearing a Mt dew shirt!
As someone who drinks nothing but Mountain Dew (even when working in a hot factory....I drink like a 6 pack of bottles just at work).....I absolutely love this idea. Mountain Dew is the Nectar of the Gods and is so amazing you can literally live of off it (not to mention that it's the most delicious thing ever).
Weird question, is there a name for a generic fermented liquid? I make mead at home and have recently started doing juices with other random sugars other than honey . Is that a wine or something else?
This video reminds me of that Asian guy on TikTok that travels back in time and tells people it's an ancient remedy to a disease and it's just Mountain Dew
Interesting, I read the title and immediately thought of the chemistry kind of distillation, which is basically just boiling the stuff to remove impurities. That made me think, wouldn't you just get really really thick sugar syrup?
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.

A moonshine, made from a soda, named after moonshine? We've come full circle!
Exactly what I was thinking 🤣
It's the circle. Circle of Life. 🤣
Apparently Mountain Dew was made initially as a moonshine mixer, so it's recursive on multiple levels.

DEWSHINE should be the name. Like Moonshine, but with Mt Dew. Do Dr Pepper next!
Mountain dew is an old slang word used by Appalachian moonshiners back in the day.
Mountain Shine?
That's what moonshine went by was mountain dew back in 1850's that's where the names root come from.
.....dewshine was an actual flavor of mntdew
Dewshine is precisely what I thought while watching this video as well!

As a Canadian….I just want to say God bless America and thank you for the scientific discoveries you continue to make
Since you're canadian, look in to acquiring some Dr. Enuf, made by the same guys who helped to make Dew more than just regional. Good stuff

So, bleed a green ice pop into everclear and skip steps 2 through 32. Brilliant lads!
Everclear tastes bad tho just the shit its made with
Just dilute the everclear in mountain dew. Something I used to "dew" in my younger and dumber years. Spent a good part of my first leave block after turning 21 doing exactly that; ~3/4" of EC in a slushie cup and the rest is MD. Sit and sip and play far cry while my best bud was at work 👌

I had same thought
We have another soda out here called Cheerwine. It's NC original cherry flavored soda that tastes different from the others.
I did that one last year. I live in salisbury where cheerwine is made. Expensive tho. Box of syrup from the factory cost me $150.

Came for the Mountain Dew. Found swords along the way. An unexpected journey indeed!
Very interesting commentary.... if you listen
why do I get the idea that swords has something to do with peeing at summer camp?
So after distilling such a abomination there is no excuse to not still Surströmming
..."That's weird but this tastes like mountain dew."
There's just one thing that I think COULD still be used as an excuse.
They don't want to break the Geneva Conventions.....because that's a f**king war crime you're talking about there.
I have this hunch that getting your equipment cleaned after Mountain Dew is doable, but cleaning it after Surströmming is absolutely not.

I know that song by the Staney Brothers, It's silimar to "White Lightin'" by George Jones, both are about moonshine.
That was a camp song at my summer camp :)
when getting the PH down, was it all due to the Huge amount of Salt or was it the coloring in the pop. which or all was it ?

They do make Hard Dew, it's sold in store in the south east of the U.S. like Florida, don't know why it's not available through out the entire U.S.
Found it in Fosston and Bagley MN, its rather flat. I would guess dew zero minus Brominated oil>
when you consider that mountain dew was originally created to be mixed with moonshine it start to makes sense

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.
03:58 I've never seen such an epic shot of somebody pouring mountain dew.
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.
Double Dewdy is a hell of a name.
Was this done in AUS because Mountain Dew contains brominated vegetable oil in the US and Bromine is used as a flame retardant?
Iv seen someone else do this same thing like a few months ago or they made wine put of it? One of the 2 but it was the color that was the biggest issue
The Dewski!? No frigging way!!! My favorite soda turnt into an adult beverage!?!? Count me in! 😊
I get that the distilling is collecting a fraction of the liquid, but I'm curious:
Is cold crashing not helpful at all? In wine making you want to get as much yeast out as possible. The flavor gets better over time...a huge improvement in a week or two.
In distilling, does cold crashing not help with the flavor?
Would love to have a bottle of the new dew ! Sounds ds amazing !!
Interesting! I've fermented many store-bought drinks, and also coffee (into a wine). Turned out quite bitter, but it was really nice after cold-distilling. A bit like a cream liquor like Bailey's. I wonder if that would be a thing for you to try?
Favorite book!! Great vid guys
In the US getting that much Mountain Dew would’ve been a trip to Sam’s Club or Costco. Most commonly known as Tuesday.
You can thank Knoxville, Tennessee for that amazing creation of Mountain Dew.
It used to be made with orange juice.
I want to try that final drink but in slushy form LOL.
0:26 Do they use plastic shopping bags in New Zealand?
Considering the silly amount of bottles of Mt Dew you had to buy to do this, wouldn't it have been easier (and cheaper) to just buy boxes of the syrup (Ie. from Sam's Club or equivalent) to serve as the base for the fermenting?
US citizen and lover of Mtn Dew, and by chance was in Aukland when this video dropped. I'm pretty sure the universe is a simulator for my enjoyment.
Speaking as a man who loves Mountain Dew, I've never thought it mixed or modified well. "Dew-drivers" with vodka and MD are thin, boozy and dreadful compared to a Jack & Coke, for example. The artificial orange/lemon flavor isn't really complex enough to assert itself in a mix, and also MD is famously low in carbonation (part of why I love it). It has an absolutely UNIQUE flavor profile as they go (witness the abomination that is Great Value Mountain Thunder) but that's really more of a market choice - way more people like Sprite & 7up (which is 50/50 lemon lime instead of 75/25 orange lemon, and is also very fizzy, which I hate, but makes for a better cocktail).
have you ever tried md & tequila? a nice quervo gold ?
difference being, mix a tiny dish of salt & a tinier bit of sugar, rather than coating the lip of the glass, just have a dab in a shot glass, sip from the bev,lick your finger tip & tap the salt /sweet mix & lick your finger again, rolling the tastes together! so noice!
@@l.scales7516 I am open to the idea. The addition of salt might be what it needs.
I bought this much MtDew when they had it on super sale. Whole shipping cart full... Didn't notice until I was walking out the door that I was wearing a Mt dew shirt!
As someone who drinks nothing but Mountain Dew (even when working in a hot factory....I drink like a 6 pack of bottles just at work).....I absolutely love this idea. Mountain Dew is the Nectar of the Gods and is so amazing you can literally live of off it (not to mention that it's the most delicious thing ever).
Weird question, is there a name for a generic fermented liquid? I make mead at home and have recently started doing juices with other random sugars other than honey . Is that a wine or something else?
This video reminds me of that Asian guy on TikTok that travels back in time and tells people it's an ancient remedy to a disease and it's just Mountain Dew
Interesting, I read the title and immediately thought of the chemistry kind of distillation, which is basically just boiling the stuff to remove impurities. That made me think, wouldn't you just get really really thick sugar syrup?
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.
Dew syrup before you add the carbonated water?
