@@DDryTaste because it is accessible, and cheaper than ethanol. Most ethanol you can buy is denatured (I.e. been treated so it cant be used for human consumption). The pure ethanol is rather expensive. And everclear can get up to 95% alcohol
Honestly you are one of the most underrated youtubers I legitimately enjoy your content and have been subscribed for around a year so keep doing what you’re doing,
Wow! This video was really fascinating. I think it’s great you’ve branched into chemistry. Thank you also for taking one for the team at the end of the video.
Great video. I did my doctorate in chemistry and I have to say, you did a great job explaining the chemistry methods you used. It is probably worth noting it's not recommended to reuse the boiling chips (anti bumping granules). To extract pure capsaicin, you should do column chromatography on the extract to remove all the impurities and stuff you don't want, but that's probably a deep rabbit hole to go into for a RUclips video.
I recently have been relearning chemistry. It's funny that you did this experiment just as I research this a couple days ago. I'm going to be doing this one as well! Thanks for the videos! You are an amazing person!
Oh love your RUclips channel I have been learning a lot about peppers how to grow them and make some real tasty sausage out of them because of you I started making my own hot sauces using your recipes
Okay I understand thank you for responding to me I've tried some of your recipes and they were my first time fermenting and making hot sauce I think I did good because my family lights the sauce I made with your recipes I can't wait until you put your recipe book out for sale I will definitely buy one thank you and please keep up the good work I have learned a lot from you
I watched an American guy ages ago use this capsaicin in a diluted form to protect his veggie garden from 'critters' as he called them. Might have uses in home defense too, if it's too hot for many in the kitchen? I really enjoy this channel and can't wait to see the 100,000 subscribers come up. Great work.
I saw that video that you are talking about...if it is the one I am thinking of, he didn't do an extraction. I think he used some of his superhot peppers and blended them up with water, and used that in a spray. I don't think you would have too many animals coming near that stuff!
This is one of my favorite channels. Very well made videos, informative, and the taste test makes for a killer ending! I have four different sauces fermenting thanks to you! Keep up all the hard work! I hope my sauces turn out great haha.
I bet you are a great Cannabis grower if you would ever do it, you got the skills and the equipment to do it. I used to do all you do but with Cannabis. Growing is a great hobby no matter what you grow and it's all the better if you can enjoy the harvest afterwards.
I did look into getting a vaccum filtration setup. But I was also trying to keep costs down. If I was doing this on a weekly basis, there are a few things I would add...first would be a proper heating mantle!
Hi there. I am from America and I watch all of your videos. You do an amazing job and very detailed as well. I enjoy your videos. Please keep up the great work. I learn a lot and I am a huge fan of anything hot enough to do something stupid with lol. Hotter the better in my opinion. Keep it up bro. I would love to be on one of your videos and try what you make.

I would love to be in your video showing how hot you make your sauce.
Wow, I thoroughly enjoyed the process. Very similar to making moonshine just on a very small basis. I can t believe you tried it! Mad props to you for being that brave! 😂
Very cool to see how it's done! I'm with you don't like sauces with capsaicin added, Love fermented peppers. Again great video and huge respect for the time you spend making it. Greetings from Belgium!
Thanks for the very cool and informative video. This, for me is one of the best recently as I am not familiar with this process and you have explained it quite simply. Not just wish I had the hardware and time to actually do it... Thanks again for sharing such a great video. Keep em coming... Much respect for trying your extract. Amazing how hot it can be compared to sauce and raw peppers.
That is very cool I use the soak in ethanol for 6 weeks then let evaporate a few more weeks and that is hot enough. That sludge you made had to of tasted like tinfoil and the heat looked to be incredible. Awesome video.
For future efficency, isolate the glasware starting short above oil level, to under the cooler. Less heat loss of the vapor = more ethanol throughput in total. cotton wool filled aluminium foil works nicely
I used to do once a month oil test of stonewool with sohlex extractors, upgraded to Velp Scientifica about 2 years ago. Those were good times Velp is much more hectic to do. Anyway keep up the good work!

Ohh.. before seeing your video, I was going to use water in the pot since the boiling point of water is higher than that of ethanol. But I guess oil would make things even easier.
Could you please make a video on chilli drying? I just can get it right, even in the brazillian heat my chillis won't air dry, and in a low oven they just get tosted.
@@lucasdallagnol It depends on whatever else you'd use it for. I make seasonings, beef jerky, fruit snacks and so on with mine. It depends if it's worth it for you
Man my dude. Nile Red just rotovapped off his ethanol. After spending weeks making anhydrous ethanol I didn't waste it. Thanks for showing that you can just use simple distillation to recover it!
Much respect for trying this, and also for the fancy extractor, and for a minute of mortar and pestle ASMR. I guess us lazy types will continue to just extract it with a bottle of cheap vodka, though. (I don't know if Joe Average could even buy food-safe ethanol here, I think it's all treated with bitterant in Germany.)
Most ethanol I could find was denatured. The stuff I eventually bought was food-grade, but about 4x the price. So being able to recover it and use it efficiently like you see in the video, was a must! In the US and Canada there is something called Everclear that you can buy that will also do the job (really strong alcohol)
I suppose you couldn't go through all that without tasting it. I did buy a bottle of Blair's Ulltra Death a few years ago. The label said to only use a toothpick to try it and one drop will do if adding to food for flavour. I suspect they used a similar process you described :( There is such a thing as too hot. I like hot, but I do like flavour too. Another thing. We can't buy stills in Aus unless it's used for oil extraction from plants etc. Must be a grey area as you obviously need to distill the ethanol off to be left with the oil. Never knew how to distill oils from plants until now :)
you can buy stills everywhere is Aus. any home brew place will have them, as do most hardware stores - either electric/stainess/copper or conventional glass. if you are specifically refering to the soxhlet equipment, it is all over eBay and Wish. I've distilled alcohol for years and added plant extracts for flavour. Only limits are still capacity and product made is for personal use only.
Wow... this was an extremely informative video, great explanation on the process.. To create and extract, I have a greater understanding of what an extract really is and why it tastes the way it does... I haven't had any sauce created with an extract, because it's so crazy hot. It has other purposes like for cooking, and pepper spray... I don't even own a bottle of the Right Hand of Doom from hellfire hot sauces, it's the only sauce, They make that has extract, it's part of the HellBoy series. I look forward to some of your salsa recipes, because I am growing some of my own peppers... Currently.. Ghost and Orange Habanero I'm going to need some ideas on what to do with these peppers when they are fully grown. :-)
@@ChilliChump lol bugger off. I cant deal with a cayenne lol Anyway u got to come up here and help me automate this tunnel and the new one im gonna build. we need to do the update of the challenge too mate, so you can show how you kicked my butt ;)
I have to amend my comment. I come here for your work with chilis and peppers. but good grief, the video editing too, is first rate. this one is annotated with animation!? come on. your effort is heads and shoulders above 99% of RUclips contributors. thank you Shaun.
Great Tube again. Eventually made the fermented chilli sauce - I think I need to work on the flavours, as I don't find the super hots have a great flavour. Thanks very much though for all the amazing advice over the years - Much appreciated.
Try some different superhots. It can be a bit challenging to get an idea of which ones will work well in a sauce, or how good the flavour is (due to being overwhelmed by the heat!). But there certainly are some great tasting superhots. Give the bhut jolokia (ghost pepper) a try. Not as potent as some of the superhots out there, but still a VERY hot pepper. Also I find the 7pot primo to be a really tasty superhot.
@@ChilliChump Cheers - Amazing you reply all the time man. Will keep on perserving. Could you quickly list your favourite Supers for fermented sauce? I've done the reapers, choc habs. Don't get me wrong the sauce is okay (not OTT hot), but it's the smell that you get from the hot habs which is not appealing to me. Any fruity ideas?Much love to you and family.
@@alibimac4214 7pot brainstrains are really tasty for a superhot, also the 7pot primo (although they taste fairly similar to a reaper). You really can't go wrong though with Bhut jolokias (ghost peppers), great tasting
I'll second that, ghost has a lovely smokey flavour. The hotter ones that I've tried start tasting quite soapy, then quite an unpleasant burn. Ghost all the time for me and doesn't disappoint where the heat is concerned.
hot for the sake of hot is a waste tbh, it needs to have a good flavour profile so that you enjoy the taste even if it is hot...if you manage to get a sauce taster to go: god damn it burns but it is soooo tasty! you have hit the jackpot
Good thinking to use a mortar, I had the brilliant to use a coffee grinder for ghost peppers... Even with glasses a mask on, the garage became a no-go zone for a day and glands I was not aware of were producing mucus for hours. Wanting to make an anti-slug spray, ending up making an anti-me cloud.
Good on you for giving the extraction a crack. You gave me a bit of a laugh with the tasting. You're a bit more gutsy than me. I'm not sure hat I would ever be that curious as some plant extracts can be quite dangerous. Just a note, which may have been already mentioned. Such an extraction would normally be done in a fume cabinet while wearing some protective equipment. I'd hate to see others have a crack at it without significant research and practice with less toxic substances. Always like your shows. I have learnt quite a bit from you. Cheers.
Because it seemed like an interesting experiment, with many new things to learn and research. Also I have been interested in capsaicin extraction for a while
I would be interested to see if an inexpensive dried pepper from the grocer used in that process would have a similar use. Thank you for posting. Hope you didn’t hurt yourself.
It is indeed! You just made me search that, and ended up spending 20 minutes reading about Ken Fischer! www.newscientist.com/article/mg13818743-300-technology-barnacle-bill-and-the-red-hot-peppers/
I did some home extraction with brandy. A tooth pick point of the stuff burned me through my skin. It's so strong you feel the spicing trough any point on your skin.
Two questions. How long did the burn last and how painful was the morning constitutional? I was an analytical chemist from 2000 to 2009 and this is the first time I've seen this apparatus. Very cool, weaponized chili.
Great video! You did miss another reason to use extracts and that is if you are making something you do not want to have cloudy like a crystal clear chili gel. Then you also need to get rid of those fatty acids though.
i bought on amazon Mad Dog 357 Pepper Extract that's 5 million scoville for when i make hot sauce and people want it hotter. and just smelling it, gets to me. i can't think what that extract would be like.
Excellent video, insane amount of heat in your extract, I dabble in lots of things but I'm passing on doing that. We all want to see you on the hot ones as a base level for the celebrities that they bring on their show. Celebrity rating is just down to opinion as I'd recognise you on the street instantly unlike most of their guests.

isn't this the stuff they add to marine antifouling paint?
It is indeed! You just made me search that, and ended up spending 20 minutes reading about Ken Fischer! www.newscientist.com/article/mg13818743-300-technology-barnacle-bill-and-the-red-hot-peppers/
They make filter tubes for that.
Impressive process cheers
Absolute animal you are for trying that. always enjoy your videos as usual. love it
Absolutely fascinating
Why did you stick ot back in for a second go around. That's crazy.
I did some home extraction with brandy. A tooth pick point of the stuff burned me through my skin. It's so strong you feel the spicing trough any point on your skin.
Two questions. How long did the burn last and how painful was the morning constitutional? I was an analytical chemist from 2000 to 2009 and this is the first time I've seen this apparatus. Very cool, weaponized chili.
Thank you feel better soon
Great video!
You did miss another reason to use extracts and that is if you are making something you do not want to have cloudy like a crystal clear chili gel. Then you also need to get rid of those fatty acids though.
Where's your backup bottle of milk?
I do love your videos!
and my the force be with you and live long and prosper lol you went all science fiction on us but awesome video keep it up i really enjoy your videos
I wasn’t expecting for you to try it. Very brave or dumb. Lol. Nice video man
i bought on amazon Mad Dog 357 Pepper Extract that's 5 million scoville for when i make hot sauce and people want it hotter. and just smelling it, gets to me. i can't think what that extract would be like.
Excellent video, insane amount of heat in your extract, I dabble in lots of things but I'm passing on doing that.
We all want to see you on the hot ones as a base level for the celebrities that they bring on their show.
Celebrity rating is just down to opinion as I'd recognise you on the street instantly unlike most of their guests.
Excellent video mate ! 👍
You're a sick, sick man...Great video brother! Keep it up!!
