For the last 10 years I have removed 1/2 of the juice from the cherries top off with High proof vodka, leave in the fridge for 4 to 6 mouths. Drean then freeze cherries, melt chocolate and dip them in, 250+ times. take to work the last work day be for Christmas.
I made this 3wks. ago. it reminded me so much of Lawrence Cherry Vodka I drank in my younger years. I couldn't drink it. too sweet. I gave it all away today. good luck with yours.
I do something like this all the time. I take anything between 60-70% and infuse with just the cherries for a week. Then I proof down to 45- 50% with the cherry juice. I pre calculate how much neutral sprit I need depending on how much juice I got from the jar to get my desired finished proof. I like to plan on ending at a higher proof so I have the option to add water if it’s too sweet
Would love to see you make some cherry wine turn that into real cherry bounce after distillation and take it from there, love your videos Randy. Keep up the good work
And also does it matter where you put your reflux at on the column.. like does it have to be at the top or if you had a break in your column could you put it in the middle
Because a higher abv could combust off the heating element? I have heard other youtubers say 40 or below for safety but like let's say you have a 10 gal. Pot and you have 8 gal of mash so your well above the elements and all that ... like say you stripped and your at like 8 gal of 60 percent
Hey Randy, you ought to do a video on how to make a meade. I think I'm going to try my hand at it on my next brew. And if you could possibly squeeze in how to make that oak barrel porter you did a few years ago that would be awesome.

That would be cool!

That is a great question I think needs to at top just below the out to condenser I have tried near middle and doesn't work as good
Did you see a still in this video? I must have missed it.
Randy, did you say “140 Vodka” (as in proof), or “40 vodka” (as in ABV)? Thanks in advance for your time.
140 proof. Cheers
@@stillworksandbrewing thank you sir
Another Great Video Randy! Keep them coming! How do I get on your Christmas list?
Happy holidays!
I wish you would post your recipes
Working on it!
Thanks Randy another great recipe, wouldn't it be better to remove the stalks or is there a reason to leave them on other than CBF'd
I like the stems use as a little handle cheers
I want to his neighbor now. or at least get adopted.
Cheers!!
What was the proof vodka you started out with.
the Vodka i had was 140 proof
Hello so I have a question why do you want to be at 40 about or lower on a spirit run
Hi B_ran, what I have read and told is it's a safety thing plus you need the volume to cover up heating element cheers
Because a higher abv could combust off the heating element? I have heard other youtubers say 40 or below for safety but like let's say you have a 10 gal. Pot and you have 8 gal of mash so your well above the elements and all that ... like say you stripped and your at like 8 gal of 60 percent
And tyvm for your reply
Hey Randy, you ought to do a video on how to make a meade. I think I'm going to try my hand at it on my next brew.
And if you could possibly squeeze in how to make that oak barrel porter you did a few years ago that would be awesome.
