    Thanks to Derek, who shared this technique with us, today we see how to distill at home without using the still. In fact it will be a cold distillation, you will only need the freezer in your fridge. But first we must prepare the wine using water and sugar.
    You will need:
    Sugar 1 kg
    Water 3 litres
    Old yeast 1/2 glass (recovered from an old fermentation or you can use these www.amazon.com...)

    About some questions about methanol, hangover etc.
    Methanol is a byproduct of ethanol fermentation, yeast consumes sugars like dextrose and sucrose to produce ethanol. methanol is a byproduct that is produced when yeast gets access to pectin sugar which is present in some fruits, especially grapes and apples. pectin is the sugar that makes your homemade wines hazy and homemade jams creamy. the professional way to reduce methanol production and wine haze is to add pectinase enzyme in must before fermentation to break pectin down to smaller molecules like fermentable sugars. this way yeast will not encounter pectin and naturally, can't eat them to produce methanol.
    another way is not to use pectin present fruits. if you are using refined sugar, palm sugar, cane sugar, corn sugar, fructose, glucose syrups etc. these stuff doesn't contain pectin so methanol production would be very little, if any.
    other thing is, methanol is not a horrifying compound when it's not concentrated. most common way to concentrate methanol is heat distillation, methanol will be one of the first things coming off from drip because it has lower boiling point than ethanol. think about 65 degrees celcius versus 78 degrees celsius, let's say 65 is the boiling point of methanol and 78 is the boiling point of ethanol and you got a a legal distiller certificate and turned your distiller on. you have a thermometer that shows which temperature the liquid at. it suddenly started dripping a clear liquid and you placed your cup under it and said oh yeah finally vodka dripping, you will get very serious health issues because the liquid came around 65 degrees celcius and methanol started boiling and evaporating like crazy, that thing you placed your cup under is almost pure methanol. that's why distillers dump "heads". if you don't use heat, you will not concentrate the methanol. drink this recipe without fear but with caution because this thing still has a lot of calories and ethanol in it :)

      @@mrb4849 depends on where you live but generally this thing doesn't considered as distillation on paper so its pretty legal. you can also freeze condense store bought low abv stuff like malibu coconut rum. %21 to %35ish easily. about acetone, ethanol fermentation also known as acetone-butanol-ethanol fermentation. acetone and butanol are natural byproducts of ethanol fermentation even if there's no other thing present aside from fermentable sugars. about molasses and brown sugar, both aren't considered as pectin sources but in common sense its not very good to use molasses without heat distillation because it doesn't taste very good without aging or distilling. brown sugar is made from white refined sugar which is mostly pure from impurities like pectin. they mixing it with molasses to give color and flavor and silkyness. so its a refined product, almost %100 percent fermentable sugar with some molasses, it will be better in terms of flavor, fermentability and quality.

      I'm in Canada so I'll have to research further; heat distillation is very illegal here, I've never seen a still and have never heard anybody doing it. So refined sugar is pretty safe, I might try brown sugar; I wonder how it would taste? My friend owns a wine station and gave me a yeast kit, I think it was turbo yeast which can create up tp 25% ABV I believe so I'll start with that.

    In some places in the US they commonly use a very similar technique with apple juice. They harvest the apples and press the juice and come winter it's cold enough to freeze the juice on the mud porch or in an out building. The finished product is 30-40% and called Apple Jack, and is famous for giving the unwary a horribly memorable hangover. I have used this technique along with my little stovetop pot still. I concentrate big batches with freezing first, which lets me get a lot more flavors in my stripping run, and yields a richer finish than just the pot still alone.
    You don't see this technique remembered on forums much, probably because of the hangovers. Vacuum distillation is another that's rarely discussed, but also relatively easy.

  • @kb2vca
    @kb2vca 8 месяцев назад +4

    As always, another great video.
    This same technique was (is?) a very common way to increase the alcohol of hard apple cider. In the US the process is called "jacking" ("upping" the alcohol content of a an alcoholic drink by freezing rather than boiling (distilling)), and before prohibition, folk used to leave their fermented apple juice outside in barrels and the freezing temperatures in the winter froze the 6 or 7 percent abv cider. The liquid was removed and allowed to re-freeze, and the process was repeated until an apple 'brandy" of about 25 -30% abv resulted. With a freezer, you have much more control and a faster process and if you begin with a 12% ABV wine, you are already further along the process.

  • @Bamaboompa

    Well hell!
    I just watched your video for Orange wine and suggested you try this with the orange. In the States this is known as Applejack. Over 200 years ago Americans would make hard apple cider. They discovered when the barrel was left outside in winter ice would form on top and the liquid below would kick your ass.
    3 suggestions
    1. Check a local farm supply for feed grade molasses. Fairly inexpensive gallon buckets.
    2. Keep the ice and use it to start the next batch. It has dead yeast and other nutrients to feed the new yeast.
    3. Because it is not distilled by heat, it will contain “the heads” or methanol. That’s where hangovers come from.
    ⚠️NOT telling you to do it ‼️⚠️
    Methanol has lower distillation temperature- approximately 147 F
    What I have done is place the liquor in a glass jar in the microwave.
    I microwave it for about 3 minutes
    checking the temperature EVERY 45-60 seconds until it reaches 150 degrees F. I cover with a coffee filter or towel for about an hour then put the lid back on.
    I do this for three straight days then let it sit for a month or so.
    IN THEORY the methanol will evaporate and give me a much better product.
    Decide for yourself.

    Thanks for all the content in this channel! I'm from Brazil and I love infusions and anything that adds flavor to alcohol haha Distilling alcohol only with a freezer never had crossed my mind. Your ideas and techniques are so ingenious! Here in Brazil we have the famous "cachaça", known as "Brazillian Rum", that is made from fresh sugar cane, and it's highly appreciated here. I would highly recommend to try the "Homemade Malibu Rum" recipe that I discovered by accident: 1 liter of alcohol (white rum is perfect) in a supersaturated coconut infusion + 50g of coconut shell toasted at 150°C for 1 hour (per liter of alcohol), let it infuse for 15 days, strain it through a coffee filter, then add 250ml of simple syrup (if you make the simple syrup with coconut water instead of just water , is even better), mix it really well, and voilá: The best homemade Malibu ever. Leave it in the freezer for some hours, and tastes like exactly like what you want in a homemade Malibu: Stronger, more coconut flavor, sweeter and delicious. About 30% alcohol degree. I've made this recipe for myself and for friends and family, and everyone liked a lot, and praised very much. This channel is gold! I absolutely love your infusions and recipes!

    • @SpaceTimeTraveler
      @SpaceTimeTraveler 6 месяцев назад +1

      @@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato By supersaturated infusion, I mean the whatever alcohol you use, should be in the same level of volume the coconut and the alcohol. There's no exact amount of grams per liter of alcohol, the alcohol should not be above the coconut volume when the infusion is happening, should look like the coconut absorbed all the alcohol. Also, is better to finely grate the coconut, or slice it in really thin slices, to maximize the contact area and extract better the flavours. Really important to filter it after 15 days, throught a cloth and coffee filter, to get a really clear infusion, and only then, add the syrup. Also, the coconut really absorbs the alcohol, so its important to put the infused coconut in a cloth and twist it really good, to extract all the alcohol in it. And you don't need to throw the coconut away after the infusion, still good to do some recipes like the famous "cocada", as we call here in Brazil, made with finely grated coconut and condensed milk. Spetacular recipe!

    Nice practical example! Unfortunately, there are significant losses with this method. Some of the alcohol remains trapped in the water crystals. Productivity can be increased by precise temperature control. Another disadvantage is that there is no removal of unwanted components. I would definitely not use this procedure when processing kvass with stones (due to the methanol content). If you want to see more, look up Fractional freezing and Freeze Distilling.

    Put a drop or two on the palm of your hand - if the warmth of your hand will make it evaporate enough to light it with a match, it's at least 50% alcohol. Traditionally, we would pour the wine (or cider) into a wide but shallow bowl and skim the ice off the top as it froze on a very cold night until no more ice formed. The danger with using cider is the possibility of methanol - hence the nickname for applejack being "suicider"

  • @MrBottlecapBill
    @MrBottlecapBill 8 месяцев назад

    Fun fact, native peoples of the northern parts of the americas would also often use this freezing technique in the maple syrup/ sugar process. Instead of wasting tons of wood boiling down all the sap, you could just leave it out over night in wide mouth pots or bark trays, as it often still gets cold a night during sap season. Or you could bury it in a pile of snow which was still on the ground. In the morning you would just break the ice off the top by hand and chuck it. Then repeat. Only in the final stage would you use the fire, and so save a LOT of wood and work. Of course once metal cooking containers were more common and firewood far easier to gather in large amounts this method was abandoned.

    In Siberia, in the old days, in winter, large iron products, such as a cannon or swords, were placed outside. There, in winter the temperature drops to -50°C. And they poured the mash in a thin stream over the surface of the frozen metal. The result was Siberian vodka, which was called “vymorozki”, from the word “to freeze out”. And the temperature in your freezer does not drop below -24 - 27°C. But along with ethanol, such poisons as methanol, isoamylol, acetone and others are preserved in such vodka!

    @jimfite1684 8 месяцев назад +1

    Public Service Announcement: Great video, but I feel morally obligated to make a couple of points.
    1. If you're in the United States, this is illegal without a distiller's permit. Check your own state laws, as it may well be illegal there, too (and probably is - very few states allow distillation). What this means is that, if you live in a state where unlicensed distillation is prohibited, you can face criminal charges at the state level should you get caught. Even if your state does allow it, however (and some have, in fact, recently passed such laws), you still open yourself up to federal criminal charges, as it remains illegal at the federal level.
    Now, if you're about to say ah, but this isn't distillation; it's freeze concentration - well, yes it is, and yes it is. Here's how the TTB (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, an agency under the Department of Treasury) replied when asked about freeze concentration:
    "However, wine and cider may not be frozen for the express purpose of increasing the alcohol content. TTB has previously held that freezing a mixture of alcohol and aqueous fermented material, like wine, causes some water to freeze and separate from the alcohol mixture. The resultant mixture has higher alcohol content than the original and is called a “high alcohol content wine fraction” and any person who separates alcoholic spirits from any fermented substance is known as a distiller. Because Federal law requires a permit to operate as a distiller and prohibits the operation of a distillery in a residence, in order to freeze wine or cider you will have to file an application with TTB and follow our regulations regarding the manufacturing processes approved for making distilled spirits."
    What came before that "however" was the rule for making ice beer, which is slightly different but still prohibits jacking up the ABV by removing more than 0.5% of the total volume of the beer in ice.
    2. Make and drink sugar wine if you want. Buy and drink rum if you want. Hell, if you're cool with breaking the law or somehow live somewhere where this isn't, in fact, illegal, then distill your own rum the right way (actual heat distillation, a process by which different substances boil off at different temperatures). PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR HEALTH DO NOT DRINK FREEZE CONCENTRATED BOOZE!
    A whole bunch of nasty things other than ethanol are produced naturally during fermentation. Generally speaking, however, in beers, wines, ciders, etc., the concentration is so low it's almost impossible to drink enough of the fluid for them to get you - never mind alcohol poisoning from the ethanol itself. Assuming you know what you're doing, when you distill using heat and a still, then condense and collect the distillate for consumption, you let the bad stuff boil out and be disposed of before you start keeping the good stuff, thus mostly eliminating the issue.
    When you freeze concentrate, however, all you do is pull water out of the solution, which results in more ethanol - and more of the far more dangerous chemicals, like methanol and other potentially lethal impurities.

    I made apple jack before and the tales of hangovers are true. Freeze distilling does not remove impurities in the alcohol and can cause brutal hangovers. It's lovely to drink but beware; freeze distilling can cause hangovers so bad, you want to kill yourself. I will try this recipe also but limit my intake to one or two drinks maximum. Love your channel BTW. Thank you from the Maritimes Canada

      It is not the freeze distilling that causes the hangover, but that your wine is already high in methanol to begin with.
      Apple = high in pectin = high methanol content
      As somebody wrote in another comment, use enzymes to break down the pectin, so you do not poison yourself.

    • @derekpappalardo6809
      @derekpappalardo6809 8 месяцев назад +5

      methanol isn't a compound that produced while distilling, its a byproduct of yeast. when yeast consumes table sugar (sucrose) it makes ethanol from it, when yeast consumes dextrose (also known as corn sugar) it makes ethanol from it but when yeast consumes pectin (found in fruits, especially grapes and apple) it makes methanol from it.
      to reduce methanol production, there's an enzyme named pectinase (also known as pectic enzyme) which converts pectin into smaller molecules like regular sugars that yeast can use to produce ethanol.
      in this method there's no main pectin source present, we don't use grapes or apple or fruit peels so methanol production is very minimal. its safe to consume wine with made straight from grapes that very high in pectin, let alone this recipe. its very dangerous to consume heat distillation methanol because its not around %0,1 amount like that, it has a lower boiling point than ethanol which leads it to concentrate while heat distilling. when you distill spirits the first thing coming off is methanol and other lower boiling point stuff because they will evaporate dominantly in lower temperatures than ethanol.

    You should only freeze distill ONCE. This video is bordering on dangerous, as it didn’t specify the fermentation temperature of around 75-78* Fahrenheit. The problem is that if your not specific on your fermentation temperature, and your not specific on your distillation temperature, as we’re using freeze distillation, which is totally inclusive of all alcohols including the ones (amyl & butyl) produced by fermentation at higher temperatures.
    Each re-distillation concentrates any toxic alcohols as well as ethyl (the least toxic) alcohol, the one you want. People have died in this manner.
    Be specific on fermentation temperature, and only freeze distil once!

    make sure to check your local laws. in the USA all 50 states it is illegal to distil alcohol this includes fractional freezing method without a distilling license. no idea why but that just is how it is. we can brew our own bear, mead, wine and such but no distilling/fractional freezing sadly. not sure what the penalties are i am not willing to risk it so i only brew.
    also fractional freezing does not remove anything like distillation does thus you get severe hangovers since all those things are concentrated as well. this was known as apple palsy back in the old days because they used to put hard apple cider in barrels and burry them in the snow over the winter. then go open them and break the ice on top and pump out the now concentrated apple jack. taste great, smooth, has a kick, but will put you in a rather unpleasant state later.
    so know your laws, and know the risks with this.
