since your bearded and bored, why not try mushroom, i heard it's main component is carbohydrates.
That is crazy with the leaves will get you some karee to age on
JUST FYI, I've been a long time subscriber to you, George and Jessie but I went looking for a Tequila recipe/video and noticed I was no longer subscribed to yours. hmmmmm. Miss ol George… hope he is doing well. Just FYI BSG sells totes of Blue Agave. will keep you on your toes with ph watch.
I really missed the pina count this time 😂
On my half molasses half agave wash,I used one of Jessie's favorite's, us-05
The nice thing about this project is even if you don't get the results your looking for, you'll at least get likker from it
Great idea to use the maguey leaves!
Spanish Oak might be a winner!
Another great video! It's good to see you are making progress towards mezcal/tequila spirit. While getting some of the terpenes using the agave leaves is great, you could push the esters. While the Lactobacillus is good for some lactic acid production, DADY really isn't going to push the ester profiles very hard. In Mezcal as well as Aguardiente de cana the fermentation is open and with wild bugs. While you got the open part in your fridge, it's still a closed container (fridge) and the DADY is going to way out compete any microbes that get into your wash. Wild microbes grow pretty slow, except for mold. If you have the patients, you could do a Tepache type of fermentation with this using the microbes from a pineapple to start the fermentation like you have done before, and then finish out the fermentation with a domestic yeast. With fruit being high in fructose, its likely that the microbes on a pineapple would take well to the agave syrup. They should also increase the ester profile. Just some food for thought, keep up with the great videos!
You should keep with the desert theme and age it on mesquite. If you haven't tried mesquite yet, holy crapballs it's good
So.. over the hypothetical liquor fairy.. I get it.. but this is America.. supposedly the land of the free.. I'm sure you've paid taxes on all your ingredients except what you've grown.. but if you bought the seeds you paid taxes on that too.. a man should be able to do ANYTHING.. ANYTHING.. on his property as that wants to.. so long as you aren't hurting other people or endangering kids.. I used to love my country.. lately.. not so much..
So you know.. I enjoy all your videos..
Still on brother.. hypothetically
The pic of the "pulpy stuff" looks like pulled pork bbq
Age it on Amburana wood
Use one of your badmo barrel. It’ll be close to the barrel choices mescal distilleries have from the used barrels they receive from bourbon houses here in the US
Another good one
Have you consider Balsam (Miroxylom peruiferum) or Jequitiba (Cariniana estrellensis) Wood?
Awesome, What a road to go down ! Thanks heaps for travelling. Loved it. ❤
Thanks bearded I gotta try this one.
I love these experimental ferments and hypothetical distillation. Honestly, I think that, as far as aging is concerned, you should stay as traditional as you can.
Red oak and Apple woods.
What about adding some glucoamylase prior to fermentation to help break down those larger chains of complex sugars?
I need to try this. I may have a ton of Q's for you.
Sorry, buddy, but flaming those dinosaur leaves indoors was one of the craziest thing seen on YT. You should have simply grilled them outside if you really insisted. However, not any idea is worth going with. This was one big useless tip. 😀
if you want different, try charred cactus skeletons.
As per usual a great video! I am absolutely going to try this if i can source the leaves
Mesquite may be interesting to age it on
At the moment,I've got about 12 gallons of mash that is half black strap molasses and half agave syrup,I wonder how it'll be?
Great episode, Bearded! You are one crazy wizard! Can’t find pencas de maguey except the whole plants which are cheap! Since I live in the Phoenix area I guess I should plant some 🙄
Thanks!
Love the work mate! So nice to see the effort put in
I checked 5 years ago when I got into this hobby back here in limey land and it's a no go for making tequila. Glad you got some good results though. As for aging.. each sip on my tongue for several seconds will do the job just nicely, for me..
Amburana for sure!! Can’t go wrong.
20 hours in the pressure cooker turned it into something else entirely, I wonder if it even matters what the feed stalk is? Try it with lawn clippings, you know, for science.
Well done, Bearded! I wonder if roasting the sweet potatoes open over a fire would add more smoke similar to a Oaxaca Mezcal. Keep this experiment going!
I've used a paint stirrer (Only used for brewing) to oxygenate worts.
Hey ☺ Great video ! I would take a wee sample and try the "slivovitz" trick 😉, and use roasted light charred Birch wood. And Oak the rest.
Wow Brother you never cease to amaze me with your Alchemy! I just finished my first rum fermentation. Since it's illegal to even own a still where I live I had the "Dark Web Cuts Jar Store" send me a bunch of spirits that ended up tasting like refried dog $%#@! I don't think the fermenters sealed properly. You could smell it and hear the rice crispies but the bubblers were not moving. No mold grew on the wash so I'm not sure if that had anything to do with the foul flavor of the spirit. Also the "Cuts Jars Store" didn't clarify the wash could that have anything to do with the final product? Thank you for what you do bro. You're the best in my book.
Love the reaction at the 24:00 mark… That made me smile.
Could you step feed with the agave to get a higher abv along with your additions of nutrients? Plus it would force checking the pH
Wow, man, that looks so good. I've been wanting to try making some, but Agave Nectar is so expensive in Canada. Amazon has it for $370/4 gallon, there's gotta be somewhere that has it for a bit less. I can't seem to find those leaves at all. I am willing to believe they give you that something extra that Nectar alone can't do. I might actually try this if I find the leaves. On a side note, I miss Adam's videos… he hasn't posted one in a long time now.
Burnt, dark, sugar? like a demarara?
