I undertook high school chemistry so many of the terms used like “reagents” and “reduced” I understand what these mean, but I possess none of the skill in being able to apply it. Think of him as a handyman looking at a problem and deciding what tools to use. It’s a very similar thing except he’s thinking of which reagents and equipment he might use to get the result that he wants. This is some serious skill on display here.

Just a cautious FYI for anyone making their own hot sauce: I didn't see Nile add any vinegar at the end (although there was some in the peppers). Botulonium toxin grows in anerobic environments greater than 4.7pH, and is commonly detected when people improperly preserving things like chopped garlic in oil. I don't imagine this sauce would be particularly safe to consume after a couple of weeks unless refrigerated. Also, be sure to sterilise whatever bottle you use!
I don't think most viewers have the time, money, equipment or patience to use this video as a tutorial to make their own hot sauce. Still, this is good advice.
if there is anything i've learned from this man, it's that chemistry is a lot of haphazardly mixing things, then using fancy instruments to carefully seperate it into different things, over and over and over. it's great
This video proves that chemistry is amazing, and why it's one of my favorite school subjects. You can theoretically turnny ordinary items into something like hpt sauce or grape soda!

“I’m usually bad at cooking, but I thought that this is so incredibly simple it can’t possibly be bad.” - NileRed, a Chemist, who works with mixing potentially dangerous chemicals in very specific sensitive amounts for a living.
aye, but how often do you hear him say "there was a bunch of unwanted junk floating around, and I'm not really sure what it is but I think its from impurities" and how often do you want your cook to be saying the same thing
Nilered everytime:- Ah this could possibly kill me and everyone around me in a 1 km radius with fallout that could last years but anyway i started blasting it with a blow torch...
Chemisty is just pure magic to me... Just wizards Every time i hear him talk about bubbling it through something for insane amounts of time, i just have to think "who found this out?" Like you sat down and went "yeah, let's bubble this through [thing] for 12 hours" and your chemist mate next to you goes "don't do that with [other thing], i waisted 12 hours of my life testing that last week" Or how did they find out?!
And how do they find out which chemical they got for the first time? Like, Nile puts it into a machine that gives out a reading... but how did the reference reading was created in the first place?
This content is what so many chemistry classes lack. A contextual goal. Not just molar weight and atomic information, but a context with which you can illustrate the relationships of chemicals, with visual examples of the molecular structure, and you can work backwards from there to the specific details! It makes soo much more sense this way, at least for me.
I don't think it's remotely possible to feature advanced organic chemistry like that without all the boring stuff you have to learn by heart. He took care of all the boring parts and left the fun ones for obvious reasons but you'd go crazy if he showed all the theoretic part.
@@Cookiedible This. Because there is no way you'd wholly enjoy Organic synthesis without understanding the mechanisms first. It's quite fun now that I've learned basic Orgo, I even jinxed it when he said he was gonna use the Permanganate as an oxidant
I think its just intro chem classes that feel impractical, because they are. Stoichiometry and equilibrium constants can be important I guess, but taking ochem feels much more practical. The knowledge of reactions is easily applied in a lab. Even if you never work in a organic chemistry lab, you see so many examples of what you're learning in student labs. Once you have enough reaction knowledge, its fun to know that you could make literally anything with several different synthetic pathways. I might be a little biased as an organic chemist, but these videos show the appeal of the subject. Nile is just an organic chemist who can do whatever sounds cool because he's a youtuber.
@@chancellorpalpatine7486 yeah but even organic chemistry has lots of very theoretical knowledge you need to learn in a vacuum. For example to reach a level where you understand why the right OH reacted from the starting molecule I think it's mandatory in any topic to have to go through boring theoretical stuff before you can hope to reach something you enjoy, and the further you specialize the more the pattern will reproduce
I'm not a professional chemist, but I know that trying to make one chemical out of another just because they look sort of similar is something only a crazy person, or at least someone with way too much time on their hands, would do. Thank you, Nigel, for being the only mad scientist bold enough to do reactions like this and recording it for all of us to see.
But... that's how you make most chemicals both in lab and industrially. You look for a cheap, available precursor that looks chemically similar to the target molecule, then change a few functional groups and voila.
Nile: “It was a little cloudy” Me: “let me guess, separator funnel?” Nile: “so I put it in a flask” Me: “hmm, smart, wise move. That’s what I was thinking all along.”
Every NileRed video sounds like something I would just skip to the end to see the results, but somehow watching chemistry at work in the hands of Nigel becomes VERY entertaining.
facts like i understand chemistry but it doesnt interest me really at this point in my life but after skipping 6 mins in i found myself an hour later writing this comment after not skipping another second.. i think it goes to show that the presentation of this video is just stellar
Simply due to lack of free time, I started in the middle. I was compelled to NOT skip forward at all. At some point I went back to the beginning so I could see how the gloves played into it. Then I went right to the point near the end where I had left off. I loved the entire thing. I have pronounced ADHD. Watching it in this manner didn’t bother me at all.
I love how you included all of the things that went wrong during your experimentation process!! Really exhibits the spirit of this kind of “playing around with” (for lack of a better term?) these compounds and seeing what sticks
As a synthetic chemist, I have to say: the work done here is just so freaking elegant and methodologically sound, that I couldn't stop smiling every time he did the exact thing that I would have done, over and over again :) Have been following this channel for years, and will not stop anytime soon) P. S. I envy that you got to play around with one of those benchtop NMR machines, they look amazing on paper)
Yup, when pharmaceutical companies make new drugs they need someone to just go and make the molecules to test - and it is basically a job that's unsuitable for robots)
Watching your videos after taking Organic Chemistry in uni v.s. when I was in middle school is like night and day.. I actually kinda understand your procedures and recognize some of the catalysts, solvents and reactions used...
I can only imagine the interaction of buying that much vanilla sugar. "So... You own a bakery..?" "I'm making hotsauce." "With vanilla sugar?" "And gloves."
I was peacefully listening to this video while doing other things. I had just sat down at my computer to keep watching it when I accidentally hit 0 on my numpad and the video started over again. That's when I realized it was an hour long and I am never gonna find where I left off at. Thank you Nigel excellent content as always.
I just want to say that it's really impressive witnessing the lengths Nigel goes to for content. This video for example, has been in the making for 2 years?! That's quality, passion and commitment and I appreciate it as a viewer.
well he laid off the idea of making it for... what, a year and six months? assuming it took 4 months to put together. but yeah he's got passion for this
Man ate hot sauce he made with 1 of the 2 main ingredients was pure spice, which he made from gloves and vanilla. He then talked through the pain and explained what it felt like. God speed, Nile.
@@lucasmather4837Once you start adding contaminants, it will never be as spicy. Pure is on an entirely different level from anything you can buy commercially. It's so spicy that it can literally make it into your urine stream.
What's absolutely hilarious to me is the actual amount of switching stuff from one container to another and stirring that chemistry actually is. We had it right as kids
Thats why only clowns believe in big bang and nothing creating everything and that you came from fish ... come on man anything is more belivable then that xD
@@slavplaysgames not really, and it’s called “The Big Bang Theory” for a reason man, it’s just a theory that hasn’t been 100% proven, but it has the most evidence, and I could say that everyone that believes in gods creating things because they were bored are clowns because anything is more believable then that.
@@tjailinht9412 Yeah I respect people who believes in creationism but those who call others clowns for believing a more believable theory are the true clowns.
and by "with gloves" we mean by turning gloves into hot sauce like some sort of alchemist, not as in he was wearing them while making the sauce (though he was wearing some, safety first)
At first, he was unsure whether to taste it. Then, he just casually shoots in methanol and then eats the sauce. That's what I call character development
I now have the utmost respect for firms who produce spicy sauce since they must purchase millions of gloves each year and spend hours following this guy's directions simply to produce a few bottles.
Actually a very common misconception, big companies don’t actually use plastic gloves. That was just for this experiment. They are too expensive, instead they use plastic cups to make the spice.
As a commercial hot sauce manufacturer and fan of your channel, I’d say well done. Fascinating process for sure. Happy to send you some samples of our sauces and our capsaicin extraction from the spiciest peppers in the world. No gloves in our products however.

I really love how Nigel changed through the years. He went from being quite shy and monotone to acting like someone you would love to be friends with, an absolute madlad of an entertainer
For anyone that’s interested in that kind of stuff, the thing that Nile did (Nordihydrocapsaicin) has about 9,100,000 Scoville units, for reference a jalapeño pepper has from 2,500 to 8,000 Scoville units, even the spiciest pepper created to this date (pepper X) has “only” approximately 2,700,000 Scoville units so… when Nile tried it… he ate something that it’s about 3 times spicier than the spiciest pepper, no wonder he got some hiccups from that
Things you normally don't hear Nile say: "this was pretty much the amount I expected" "occasionally just catch fire which we don't want". Grats on finally getting that reaction right
Tbf, that's tend to come up alot, especially in older vid (usually it's something abt the yelding is bad due to wasteful step). The wilding out tend to be on short ot nileblue. NileRed with his long and detail oriented videos is alway a respectable chemist/scientist imo.
@@asdasd1111ish just good-natured ribbing. I'm used to NileRed shorts by now, where he literally made a fireball and played with it.

It’s hard to even fathom the amount of steps, time, and effort you had to put into this video. So much respect to you for making chemistry intriguing and entertaining for those of us who have never really had the chance to be exposed it.
what blows my mind even more, is this whole process took him weeks, and months of calculation, and yet plants have tiny machines inside their cells which make the molecule every day. Cells are amazing. They do the most insanely complicated things, without the organism even being aware of it. Imagine if you had to think your cells through the process of making an enzyme or digesting a food and putting it through the extremely chemically complex ATP pathway to create energy. With all our knowledge we don't have the intelligence to do that. How did it happen? It can't be mere chance.
@@SimonWoodburyForget I dunno, man, based on the molecular clock, we haven't had enough time for the successful mutation of all these biomolecules and systems. The rate of successful mutation is so prohibitively slow, that without some kind of agency directing it, it just wouldn't be possible to get where we are today in the time we have. It would require a universe that was orders of magnitude older than the science tells us it is. We throw the term 'millions of years' at the question as if it fixes everything, but when it's put under testable conditions, biochemistry is discovering currently just how implausible that is. We know the average rate of mutation based on studies on mutation in sperm cells in humans and primates and a bunch of other species. None of them produce beneficial mutations fast enough to cause this kind of machinery in the time we have. Most changes that will affect a biological system's function require a minimum of two convergent mutations in separate influential genes. And that's the minimum. Getting one mutation by chance isn't that hard, but getting two mutations in exactly the right genes to create the necessary change becomes exponentially more unlikely, just like guessing somebody's password gets exponentially more difficult the more characters in length it is. It does happen, but for example in mutations within bacteria it takes hundreds of millions of generations to produce a single change that involves two cooperating genes. When you extend that to multicellular organisms it becomes even harder, especially as those changes need to be made before the gametes of the animal have developed leaving an even smaller pocket of time. In human females for example that would require any mutation to take place while the infant was still in the womb, because after that the genetic data in the gametes are locked and any mutation in the original human will not be passed on. All this adds up to billions of years being nowhere near long enough. Heck, we think that humans evolved over just the most recent 6 million years. The new math of evolutionary biochemistry posits a really heavy question of how that could even be possible without something directing the changes? I'm not saying that we should expect to believe xyz or anything, I'm just saying we have a big conundrum right now that science has yet to fully comprehend or posit a reasonable answer for. We're only just learning about it now.
@@SimonWoodburyForget I'm not sure why you think I'm arguing for creationism... After all, creationism believes in even LESS time than we currently have in our models, and the entire issue is that we do not have _enough_ time. I am not sure you understood what I was getting at at all. The molecular clock is hardly a 'questionable idea about taxonomy' it's mainstream science. It's a well known and well understood metric. I honestly don't know why you would consider that questionable. Or are you referring to the fact that a human female's reproductive ova are genetically set before she's even out of the womb? That's biological fact as well. It's not 'questionable' it's in every biology textbook. Or the fact that most biological features are polygenic? That's basic science too. If you somehow have alternative information than what I stated, then go ahead and present it. You will find me highly receptive, so long as you don't stray into the realm of fiction and stick to the science. I also think it's ironic that you're making statements about finding reasons to believe in the supernatural to fill in whatever unknown there is, when you are doing the same thing you appear to be accusing me of, but using 'time' as your magic bullet. To fill in the gaps in your knowledge. It's just as much a cop out, because we don't know a way to make it solve the problems we have and whenever we look for solutions we find them ineffectual. I trained in Evolutionary Anthropology, that was my major. I know very well the complexities of the internal debate, and I was only talking about issues that are arising _within_ the scientific community. There is really no need to look any further than that. That is the only question that I was offering up for discussion. I specifically said that I was not offering any answers, nor any alternative 'belief' but that there is a problem that science has yet to answer. That is just factual. Try to deal with what people are saying rather than jumping to conclusions. Anyway, I'm not here to begin yet another debate, I was merely thinking aloud and expressing wonder. If that's too much for you to handle, maybe get off the internet for a while.
What's even better is that the store probably started stocking up on it thinking "man, I'm not sure why people are buying so many of these but we need to make sure we have them in stock" only for them to just start piling up when he finished his video.
@@dukeofthedance8062 I can just see the stocking manager getting fired over this then coming across those two videos years later and being like "holy shit, this man cost me my job" then he goes back to his boss and shows him and he's just like "yea, sure, you probably had your friend make these"
It's super easy to make vanilla sugar for baking though. Just get some regular granulated sugar and some vanilla beans. Open the vanilla beans (use the insides for something else if you want, they don't have to go into the sugar, you can still get the flavor from the empty husk!) and put the beans in with the sugar. Shake periodically. It just takes time for the vanilla to infuse with the sugar.
Who knew you could use all those chemicals so efficiently to burn time and money? I picked up some hot sauce from the grocery store last week for $3.95. (jk) My best guess is that impurities in the ethanol in the early steps of the failed attempts is what led to all the impurities and necessary cleaning at the end. Congratulations! Also, a dab will do ya for hot sauce on a wing. You went way overboard. Respect.
interestingly, I have noticed a similarity with the vanillin being added. Some time ago I read about how certain spiders use venom containing vanillotoxins to activate the same receptors as we have for spicy pepper. I remember thinking at the time, "that's a strange name for a spicy neurotoxin..." but now it all makes sense!

Not directly Science-related at all, i guess, but the 'Spirit' of Science (for the lack of a better word) is right-here. This is It.
This has been a wonderful hour spent relaxing to the multitude of distillations and interesting chemistry. I honestly kept watching and thinking to myself. Is it safe to taste it now? All through out the video.
The video presentations of glassware and operations are so beautiful I can't help thinking of them as some sort of conceptual works of art. Eg. 2:05 2:12 4:00 4:24 5:22 6:07 20:04 etc.
He should synthesize this again specifically for the last dab. If he made a large enough batch, I think Sean might be willing to sell a few of the bottles as limited releases, so Nigel could get some extra funding outside of Patreon!

Just a cautious FYI for anyone making their own hot sauce: I didn't see Nile add any vinegar at the end (although there was some in the peppers). Botulonium toxin grows in anerobic environments greater than 4.7pH, and is commonly detected when people improperly preserving things like chopped garlic in oil. I don't imagine this sauce would be particularly safe to consume after a couple of weeks unless refrigerated. Also, be sure to sterilise whatever bottle you use!

@@Cookiedible This. Because there is no way you'd wholly enjoy Organic synthesis without understanding the mechanisms first. It's quite fun now that I've learned basic Orgo, I even jinxed it when he said he was gonna use the Permanganate as an oxidant
I think its just intro chem classes that feel impractical, because they are. Stoichiometry and equilibrium constants can be important I guess, but taking ochem feels much more practical. The knowledge of reactions is easily applied in a lab. Even if you never work in a organic chemistry lab, you see so many examples of what you're learning in student labs. Once you have enough reaction knowledge, its fun to know that you could make literally anything with several different synthetic pathways. I might be a little biased as an organic chemist, but these videos show the appeal of the subject. Nile is just an organic chemist who can do whatever sounds cool because he's a youtuber.
@@chancellorpalpatine7486 yeah but even organic chemistry has lots of very theoretical knowledge you need to learn in a vacuum. For example to reach a level where you understand why the right OH reacted from the starting molecule
I think it's mandatory in any topic to have to go through boring theoretical stuff before you can hope to reach something you enjoy, and the further you specialize the more the pattern will reproduce

For me the quote that did it is: "it was a dirty brown."
Tbf, that's tend to come up alot, especially in older vid (usually it's something abt the yelding is bad due to wasteful step). The wilding out tend to be on short ot nileblue. NileRed with his long and detail oriented videos is alway a respectable chemist/scientist imo.
@@asdasd1111ish just good-natured ribbing. I'm used to NileRed shorts by now, where he literally made a fireball and played with it. I am genuinely happy and proud that this went well for him compared to old videos, shows he's improving. And I love that we got another longer video even if I can barely understand it with my smol brain
There will a point of time in the future where NileRed will post a whole 2+ hour Docu-series of just pure Chemistry and I'm ready to binge watch it no matter what.
bro, for real. I dont know anything about chemistry or half the things he is saying. But god help me if I dont sit through an hour of this just to see how indeed you can turn a glove in to hot sauce. i mean, come on.
Im a Chemist doing my PhD in germany ans i absolutely love what you are doing, its like what chemistry should Look like. A perfect mixture of school chemistry for beginners and actual Research.
Its strayed too much out of practical stuff and too much into theory i'd say , seeing many exams becoming routine without any substatial critical thinkin behind them here in Iran , do you suffer from the same stuff over there too ?
@@akiamini4006based on how the schnitzel said it, i would say its also too much theory.
@@akiamini4006 Imagine watching a guy turn gloves and some vanilla into a hot sauce and then complaining that "there's too much theory".
So go replicate it. Put it on video.
@@WNActivist88 bruh aint no way ! Are you taking weed from your ass ?! I said in academical levels we deal with too much theories and seeing content like this is a nice change of pace ,
@@WNActivist88 i think he meant chemistry in universities
This is my favorite cooking channel.
What a fun and so spicy chemistry lesson. Really great work.
As a pharmacist, I felt like I was stepping back thirty years to the university lab.
Thank you so much.

@꧁ᴍøᴄʜɪ꧂ lmao what? He donated in euros. Where did you get Japanese from? You can tell he's European from his name. Also, what do do you mean by "regular money"?"
It’s hard to even fathom the amount of steps, time, and effort you had to put into this video. So much respect to you for making chemistry intriguing and entertaining for those of us who have never really had the chance to be exposed it.
what blows my mind even more, is this whole process took him weeks, and months of calculation, and yet plants have tiny machines inside their cells which make the molecule every day. Cells are amazing. They do the most insanely complicated things, without the organism even being aware of it. Imagine if you had to think your cells through the process of making an enzyme or digesting a food and putting it through the extremely chemically complex ATP pathway to create energy. With all our knowledge we don't have the intelligence to do that. How did it happen? It can't be mere chance.
@@SimonWoodburyForget I dunno, man, based on the molecular clock, we haven't had enough time for the successful mutation of all these biomolecules and systems. The rate of successful mutation is so prohibitively slow, that without some kind of agency directing it, it just wouldn't be possible to get where we are today in the time we have. It would require a universe that was orders of magnitude older than the science tells us it is. We throw the term 'millions of years' at the question as if it fixes everything, but when it's put under testable conditions, biochemistry is discovering currently just how implausible that is. We know the average rate of mutation based on studies on mutation in sperm cells in humans and primates and a bunch of other species. None of them produce beneficial mutations fast enough to cause this kind of machinery in the time we have.
Most changes that will affect a biological system's function require a minimum of two convergent mutations in separate influential genes. And that's the minimum. Getting one mutation by chance isn't that hard, but getting two mutations in exactly the right genes to create the necessary change becomes exponentially more unlikely, just like guessing somebody's password gets exponentially more difficult the more characters in length it is. It does happen, but for example in mutations within bacteria it takes hundreds of millions of generations to produce a single change that involves two cooperating genes. When you extend that to multicellular organisms it becomes even harder, especially as those changes need to be made before the gametes of the animal have developed leaving an even smaller pocket of time. In human females for example that would require any mutation to take place while the infant was still in the womb, because after that the genetic data in the gametes are locked and any mutation in the original human will not be passed on. All this adds up to billions of years being nowhere near long enough. Heck, we think that humans evolved over just the most recent 6 million years. The new math of evolutionary biochemistry posits a really heavy question of how that could even be possible without something directing the changes? I'm not saying that we should expect to believe xyz or anything, I'm just saying we have a big conundrum right now that science has yet to fully comprehend or posit a reasonable answer for. We're only just learning about it now.
@@SimonWoodburyForget I'm not sure why you think I'm arguing for creationism... After all, creationism believes in even LESS time than we currently have in our models, and the entire issue is that we do not have _enough_ time. I am not sure you understood what I was getting at at all. The molecular clock is hardly a 'questionable idea about taxonomy' it's mainstream science. It's a well known and well understood metric. I honestly don't know why you would consider that questionable. Or are you referring to the fact that a human female's reproductive ova are genetically set before she's even out of the womb? That's biological fact as well. It's not 'questionable' it's in every biology textbook. Or the fact that most biological features are polygenic? That's basic science too. If you somehow have alternative information than what I stated, then go ahead and present it. You will find me highly receptive, so long as you don't stray into the realm of fiction and stick to the science.
I also think it's ironic that you're making statements about finding reasons to believe in the supernatural to fill in whatever unknown there is, when you are doing the same thing you appear to be accusing me of, but using 'time' as your magic bullet. To fill in the gaps in your knowledge. It's just as much a cop out, because we don't know a way to make it solve the problems we have and whenever we look for solutions we find them ineffectual. I trained in Evolutionary Anthropology, that was my major. I know very well the complexities of the internal debate, and I was only talking about issues that are arising _within_ the scientific community. There is really no need to look any further than that. That is the only question that I was offering up for discussion. I specifically said that I was not offering any answers, nor any alternative 'belief' but that there is a problem that science has yet to answer. That is just factual. Try to deal with what people are saying rather than jumping to conclusions.
Anyway, I'm not here to begin yet another debate, I was merely thinking aloud and expressing wonder. If that's too much for you to handle, maybe get off the internet for a while.
imagine not being able to get vanilla sugar for your baking project because local chemist needed all of them for hot sauce 💀
“i coulda sworn they were there yesterday”
What's even better is that the store probably started stocking up on it thinking "man, I'm not sure why people are buying so many of these but we need to make sure we have them in stock" only for them to just start piling up when he finished his video.
@@dukeofthedance8062 I can just see the stocking manager getting fired over this then coming across those two videos years later and being like "holy shit, this man cost me my job" then he goes back to his boss and shows him and he's just like "yea, sure, you probably had your friend make these"
he needed the vanilla sugar to turn plastic gloves intro hot sauce. makes it more confusing
It's super easy to make vanilla sugar for baking though. Just get some regular granulated sugar and some vanilla beans. Open the vanilla beans (use the insides for something else if you want, they don't have to go into the sugar, you can still get the flavor from the empty husk!) and put the beans in with the sugar. Shake periodically. It just takes time for the vanilla to infuse with the sugar.
Who knew you could use all those chemicals so efficiently to burn time and money? I picked up some hot sauce from the grocery store last week for $3.95.
(jk) My best guess is that impurities in the ethanol in the early steps of the failed attempts is what led to all the impurities and necessary cleaning at the end. Congratulations! Also, a dab will do ya for hot sauce on a wing. You went way overboard. Respect.

interestingly, I have noticed a similarity with the vanillin being added. Some time ago I read about how certain spiders use venom containing vanillotoxins to activate the same receptors as we have for spicy pepper. I remember thinking at the time, "that's a strange name for a spicy neurotoxin..." but now it all makes sense!
The more you know....
You ever put vanilla extract in milk? Makes it spicy
@@hunterthompson6808 vanilla extract kindof is spicy honestly
@@_aa546 probably because of the alcohol
We don't have receptors for capsaicin, we just have existing receptors that misfire.
Feel like having a NMR machine is going to be a game changer for this channel.
He got new NMR machine, but at the end of the video he says he wanted to "take a break from doing so much O-chem". I hope his next projects still involve mystery organic compounds, so his NMR is not wasted lol
It already saved this project. Without it he would likely just have assumed that things went wrong again.
The fact that NMR machines exist at that scale is honestly incredible
Doing TLC analysis once in a while would be an even cheaper game changer 😁
Next video he adds a full GC-MS to his setup
As crazy as this video is, the most jaw dropping thing was learning that Micro Center is still around
I love how he goes through 300 steps to make the spicy chemical, but can't be bothered to roast peppers.
Chemistry is easier than cooking I guess
😂😂😂 why is this true?
@@idontknowyet2875 Its a science thing. Its the wow factor. Or its our nerdness. You choose
thats the point of the video and I love it
That’s not science lol
59:44 this is nilered’s Oppenheimer moment. He realised it was possible to make spice artificially, but it was only when he finally tasted it that he realised what hell he had unleashed upon his palette

I've been wondering where you've been... now I see. You've been distilling and putting the results into various separatory funnels! Thanks for all you do, mate. This is a masterpiece.
You forgot to distill this comment and put it in a seperatory funnel
You can check his other channels, where he posts more frequently :)
Back in school, my chemistry teacher put this on a test: "how would you make soap from straw?"; she'd be very impressed with your channel.
Was the answer: burn it and mix it with fat?
Now a lot of questions start to appear in my head
Can we make toilet paper out of potatos?
Can we make vodka out of a carpet?
Can me make anything out of molecules that are gases at room temp and at 1 bar?
@@Emily-me I want to know too

Potato does contain cellulose, so yes.
Whtat kind of carpet? As long its material can be reduced to sugar molecules, yes.
Yes. Oxigen, part of a lot organic molecules, for example.
@@noon7866 You can make lye from ashes, apparently. So this might just work.
watching him actually make the hot sauce in the same format and visual presentation as advanced chemistry was hilarious
i mean hey this is pretty advanced chemistry
1:04:26 ''Why am I doing this?''
Because you literally spent the last two years doing all sorts of MAGIC to make hot sauce from scratch so you may as well go through the pain and consume it all. Absolute madlad
As a physics major having recently started a PhD in the chemistry department, this channel has really helped me understand what my co-workers are doing. Personally I have not been in a chemistry lab in 10 years, but I love these videos!
Wait your coworkers are also making hot sauce from gloves?

bruh he has a whole team behind him doing everything, hes just reading of script and doing the lab stuff
This has been a wonderful hour spent relaxing to the multitude of distillations and interesting chemistry. I honestly kept watching and thinking to myself. Is it safe to taste it now? All through out the video.
Didn’t realise it’s 1h long till seeing you mentioned it. 3 min in, I was like hmm progress bar looks a bit long?
It's extremely relaxing to me too. It's like smart person asmr.
Yeah, of have been licking my fingers all along. This is why I'd be a dead organic chemist.
The video presentations of glassware and operations are so beautiful I can't help thinking of them as some sort of conceptual works of art. Eg. 2:05 2:12 4:00 4:24 5:22 6:07 20:04 etc.
if nilered ever comes on hot ones, he needs to bring this with him
He should synthesize this again specifically for the last dab. If he made a large enough batch, I think Sean might be willing to sell a few of the bottles as limited releases, so Nigel could get some extra funding outside of Patreon!
And spice it up even more
I think it's worth noting that First We Feast has less than three times as many subscribers as NileRed. I think NileRed deserves huge credit for building up such a huge following without having big name guests like Gordon Ramsey and Salma Hayek. People come here for the chemistry, but stay for the Nigel.
@@acartwright10 well, did you hear what he said in the video? this was an extremely long and arduous process that took him several months (and years to actually get to it) just for enough of the chemical for 2 bottles of hot sauce. i don't he can just "whip up some more"
@@acartwright10 While that would be really cool, selling it poses a mountain of legal obstacles.
