Bearded - you were the guy who introduced me to this great hobby and I thank you brother. I’ve made close to 100 gallons of cider and learned from you along the way to improve my technique. I have four recipes I’ve perfected and used for my nieces wedding if you’d like to let me know which one sounds best to share… strawberry, lime, mint; blackberry, honey, lemon; tart cherry, honey, apple; and my absolute favorite: my orange creamsicle that will actually take you back to your childhood.
tip: Even in a reflux column you can hang a bag of botanicals for flavor in the column from a filter screen gasket or stacked on top of the copper mesh (keep it loose)
George got me started and you, Jesse & Beaver keep us raising our games so thank you, mate. My big 'tip' for wood aging in vessels is make friends with your local joinery factory to get their off cuts, season 12 mths, toast, and char then start @ 60 to 65% and I drop proof by 1% with water every 2 months. I use beers kegs in my roof with bung and airlock (no fluid) which keeps bugs out and breaths. Amazing results.
That sounds awesome, the lemon juice to maintain color worked like a cham.
Cheers
Awesome video!! Love the content you, Jesse, Randy, George and all the other DIY distilling community have shared!! Thank you so much!!!
Also, Distilling Tip: Watch all Bearded and Bored and Still It videos. Between both of these channels you'll find everything you need on the subject
I would say the best tip to give to people so far. Is don’t worry about clearing out your mash. Before running it. If it’s cloudy or little floaties. That’s fine. If you wanna strain it. Go ahead but it’ll be fine and will not affect run. Unless there is a bunch of chunky stuff like fruit or grain. Hope this helps.
I did a blackberry wine then used the rest to make a “hypothetical” fruit mash with sugar. If I did it again I’d pick more and go for a pure berry mash. I was only working with 15lbs. I’d also maybe try a gin basket packed full of berries.
I put it on fruit as well and came out tasting like bb jam.
Thanks as always Bearded!
I loooove your channel - and like the T-shirts too.
I do hypothetical distillation on my AirStill... and recommend adding 2 to 4 copper sponges to the distillate if there are sulfates to be removed in connection with the 100p hypothetical distillation 🙂

Tip: Don't go to big starting out with this craft. 5-gallon batches are perfect size to experiment and perfect recipes without costing allot. Stick with one recipe before moving on--research it thoroughly--keep good notes. You can always scale up--once you get it dialed in.
Thanks for all of your tips and tricks. You, George, Jesse and Randy are my “go to’s” for recipes and advice!!
so, my distilling tip is this, I made a 5 gallon batch of Birdwatchers, but instead of yeast, I added about a half a cup of sourdough starter just to see what would happen. Fermented fine, and the result was pretty tasty for a sugar wash. Bought some vanilla beans off amazon to age it on, and now have a lifetime supply of kick-ass 130 proof vanilla.

I got scamed
People are asses!
@@kjdevault true..
Love the liquor fairy. I have used them as well. Thanks for the education.
Distilling tip.....always boil your copper mesh for 50 minutes before you put it into your into your colum or sight tube.
Got a blackberry patch in my backyard, picked about 40 lbs. last year. Bulk aging my 2nd 5 gal. batch of blackberry wine right now. Wish I had a liquor fairy. But I ‘d settle for a t- shirt. Big howdy from Oklahoma! Made some blackberry jack from my first batch, only thing I can remember is it tasted delicious!!
That looks great. The liquor fairy makes a couple double batches every fall when they’re fresh. Family consumes most of it Thanksgiving day. Cheers to you and the Mrs. 😊
Tip: make sure if you’re hanging fruit to wash it well first.
Looks absolutely beautiful in the glass. Bravo
Always good. And who'd've thought that a sweetened blackberry brandy would be tasty, LOL. That octopus on barrel shirt is the best.
4:24 The videos have been great. I’ve shared them with all my close friends. Please keep up the strong work.
Thanks Tim!
Thank you Bearded. Will be trying the blackberry when my plants are able to he harvested.
I have enjoyed all of your videos. Which has made me try different infusions with fruits and spices. So thank you my friend. Also here is my infusion for strawberry&peach vodka. I used 80 proof vodka that I made. ( you can use any vodka for this) cut 1 pint of fresh strawberries and half next take six peaches cut them into quarters, half gallon mason jar put the fruit in the mason jar. Pour the vodka over the
fruit. Add 2 tablespoons of honey seal the jar shake that sit in the refrigerator for one week strain do you have a beautiful strawberry peach vodka. You can add three fresh strawberries and one peach cut up presentation jar for appearance
That blackberry was awesome. My liquor fairy friend did rather well with one that aged a month with the berries. Can't wait for this year's blackberry season!!
Love the blackberry idea.....
Love your videos. You and Jesse have become my go-to distilling channels.
Let me take another sip see if it jogs my memory 🤣😂🤣... Love to see you're back making regular videos....
I love watching yours and Jesse’s videos.
last summers were just too dry for a decent (wild) blackberry harvest around here. Quince, sloe and green(!) walnut been the go-tos, each with some vodka, lemon and brown rock candy. The fourth setup last year was sloes in gin. Everything still on the fruit, should find some time now to bottle... and taste...
I too was introduced to this hobby by your entertaining videos. Thank you for all the great ideas.
Thanks for another great video. I'm tired of winter and ready to get out to pick some fresh fruits and berries.
I’d like to have that T-shirt and that brandy. Thanks for the video, Bearded
Thanks for the blackberry memories
I have some into the am shirts and they are awesome. The 2 designs up on offer are great designs. Love your content in the videos too. Keep up the good work.
No tips or recipes here, but I'm jumping headfirst into this hobby with some currently fermenting molasses. Big thanks for demystifying this hobby.
Love the info, recipes, and demos. Try toasted applewood to age white spirits. Toast at 400’F for at least 90 min. Mix and match with toasted or charred oak.
I'm partial to this Bourbon
Recipe:
6.75# Blue Corn
6.75# Jimmy Red Corn
26.5# Yellow Dent Corn
6# Unmalted Rye
4.5# Munich Malt
4.5# Viena Malt
22.5gal water
DADY yeast - Ferment on Grain
You have hwlped me alot with my wines for my mother for her Passover Dinner!
My favorite distilling channel! 🥃
Combo of knowledge and humor for the win!
Thanks for the tasting video. I like that your reviews you go into the tasting notes. I'm good at that at all so it gives me a place to start to see if I can identify any that you point out. I'll have to give this one a try. The orange cello and creamsicle were right up there!
Thanks for the video, always look forward to them!
Never heard of INTO THE AM. I will check them out for sure. Thank you!
It does look great! Will be making this one during blackberry season.
Since I'm from south Africa
I like that challenge between you and beaver diy
Especially the pineapple recipe
Because the basis pineapple beer is what we drank during covid 19
Here's to 2023, year of the brandy!
Hey Bearded. 🤤 Birdwatchers made to Odins Gin Then take 1 liter, put 500 g of Sloe berrys and 250 g sugar in. Let sit for at least 3 month. 🤪 Just made a wash of barley, corn and honey. 1/3 gravity point of each, for an 8 liter whisky barrel. "hypothetically" that is 😉 Happy Distilling 👍
Thank You Bearded! I’ve been totally seeing the world through the lens of home brewing since watching your videos. Keep up the good work! 🍺 🥃
I need to get me a liquor fairy. They sound nice to have around.
Into the AM has the best shirts. So soft and flexable. I got my buddy that Octopuse one and my wife one for christmas cause everyone loves mine so much. I am currently working on a cider using the omega Sundew yeast. Hoping that it makes it taste like strawberry apple cider.
8lbs sweet corn, 3lbs soft red wheat, 1.5lbs 6 row barley 5 lbs sugar. 5 gallon batch
Bearded, thank you for all of the great content.
That looks terrific, blackberry is one of my favorite flavors.
Thanks for all you do! I love the content!
jeżynówka! Your hitting me right in my Polish heritage. I suppose its better than my Polish sausage...wait, nevermind that. Looks great and wish we were neighbors. Love the channel.
I recently "hypothetically" made an experimental run.
Used 3 cans Bacardi frozen strawberry daiquiri concentrate, 3 cans of the Pina colada, and 7lbs sugar. Some DADY and a touch of nutrients. Let it sit for a week and gave a stir every day.
Added some of the blend to my mason jar thumper, and ran it. The flavor was there, but wasn't the PUNCH I was hoping for, so I decided maybe it was better to be a cocktail, but what to use?
I let my pot sit overnight to cool off, went to dump it the next day, and the smell of the backends was heavenly. I took a little sip of it, and it was incredible, so I saved about a gallon of it and went to the store for a bag of frozen strawberries.
I muddled the strawberry and made a simple syrup from them (bottom of a mason jar, coated in sugar) , filled a quarter jar 200ml of spirit, filled with the saved backends to the 700ml line, topped it off with the strawberry simple syrup and threw in a few berries, let it sit overnight, and it was incredible.
My wife doesn't even like alcohol and I couldn't keep her off of it. It's one of those ones you call dangerous, because we couldn't stop drinking it.
In hindsight, I should've added some strawberry syrup to the thumper, something for more flavor in the spirit, but all in all, I'm stoked with what became of it.
This was for a 5 gal run, and I did invert the sugar.
Someday maybe I will get a **hypothetical** liquor fairy. That blackberry brandy looks oh so good!
Thanks for all the info you have provided! Your Limoncello recipe is a hit around my house 😁
Your reaction was priceless. Great work! BTW, yours was the first YT channel I ever subscribed to. No regrets.
Can't wait to try out the recipe, and the shirt! Haha!
Always look forward to your recipes and videos Bearded!
Really Enjoyed Your Video , Thanks !
Bearded started following way back when you clearing that "forest", fell in love with your personality and vibe.
No recipe but a tip though, be careful with cinnamon sticks in the pot while distilling with electric elements. It only takes one stick to lodge in the element, especially those ripple ones to ruin the run.
Also any news on George of Barley and Hops Brewing? George, Jessi, and you rekindled my alternative high-school hobby while I watched SG-1an have helped me improve my techniques greatly, please keep it up.
Love your videos! Can't wait for more! 🤗
Looks delicious!!!!Yes, please
Bearded, you and your t-shirt model friend have the best videos very informative.
Cheers B&B. Love your channel.
I love your show. I made some hard cider and apple jack years ago based on your videos. Thanks so much!
I watch you George and Jessie I get some great. Tips and enjoy you all
Great video Bearded!! My liquor fairy made some choke cherry brandy that looks very similar to yours in the glass!! Great stuff!! Keep those videos coming!!
Wearing the same shirt now. Awsome
I have no idea how to make this but I’m going to try after watching you!
Been a big follower since you started keep up the great job
hope im not to late.
my biggest thing is when fermenting just let it sit till its done. its done when its done.
Yes. I love sweet. I can smell it through my phone!
Loving the content! Keep it up.
I appreciate your GAW.... cool shirts for sure.
My tip is this.... Watch vids, take notes, join groups....learn. Put in some work.
Then keep it simple.
Love it! You’ve made the decision for my next project for me!
Looks good, gonna have to try that sometime. I really enjoy my perry cider so I might have to try making some pear brandy soon. Thanks for the inspiration!
Would love to get a T-shirt!
Tip: suspend fruit in your vapor path to get added flavor
Love your vids, bud!
My mouth is watering!
Started watching your videos recently and also started new in the hobby. Also purchased some shirts after watching your videos,
Love your channel and Jesse’s
Awesome video and really wanting blackberry hopefully can collect enough to pull off decent batch
Looks delish! I'm gonna have to figure out how someone would incorporate a thumber into their 2" sanitary tubing vapor processing system.
I've been working on meads lately, my first batch came out at 15% abv (a little high for what I want) so I started doing a pound and a half of honey per gallon of water for about a 10% abv. First batch I did .75 pound per gallon of dried blueberries, turned out real nice just a high abv, this batch I put 1.5 pounds of honey with the same .75 pounds of blueberries but I added a whole vanilla bean, I'm hoping for a subtle vanilla with a blueberry mead heavy flavor. I also did a pineapple ginger, kind of winged that one...
Love watching you and still it
learning alot watching your info. going to make a peach brandy next run.
Ayyy appreciate the info and a sick shirt!!
We call that drink "Whistling Johnny" 😋
do a ginger beer distillation
I really love your channel! Although I only make wine and mead, I plan to use some of your ideas in my meads. I only have about four brew channels that I watch on here, and you are friends with two of them, so how cool is that. (4 channels counting yours) Keep up the interesting content.
Oh man, that looks so good. I'm going to have to go blackberry picking this year. I bought that same shirt you are wearing and 2 others using your link during their black Friday sale. It is my favorite shirt, followed closely by the shipwreck in a bottle and the first Stillit collaboration shirt.
OK, for extra points, since you mentioned ginger in gin... 2.25l neutral at 43%, 15 grams juniper berries, 8 grams coriander seed, 6 grams lemon zest, 2 grams lime zest, 2 grams ginger, 2 grams orris root, small pc cassia bark and 16 grams cucumber slices. Maserate 24h, remove the citrus zest, and put the rest in an air still... Delicious Gin, I'm going to try the same except Sub tangerine for lemon and lemon for lime when I can get some fresh tangerines, maybe a bit more ginger and cucumber because they combine to give it a really nice fresh taste.
We had a kick ass crop last year too!
Appreciate your work, thanks.
Dangerous and gorgeous, sounds like my wife 😍
Looks like a good blackberry
:) I am glad about your Blackberry liquor! Sometimes you hope and it is not so good :). Congratulations! 🥂
I think INTO THE AM needs an AMerican T-shirt model 😉
Also, I wish the wasps weren't so dang protective of the blackberry bushes where I'm at 🐝🤕
P.S.
With all the talk in Congress about auditing/repealing the ATF, would you consider revisiting the topic of contacting our federal representatives to audit Section 26 of the USC?
Love your videos keep up the great job that you are doing 👏
I'm leaving a comment, because those shirts are f'n bad ass.....and I dig your channel, been a fan for quite a while!!
👍
Now you got me thinking about “Blackberry Jack”
Also looks like Jesse has lost a little weight.
Also I’m going to check with AM about a fulfillment deal Cheers!
Hey Bearded, I'm sipping on some homebrew Oktoberfest as I watch your vid. Meanwhile, bubbling next to me are 4 buckets of Honey Bear Bourbon from HD Tried & True Recipes that my Liquor Fairy should be "hypothetically processing" next week!!!
