This was by far the weirdest distillation I’ve done from a process perspective. I’m a fairly green distiller but usually I can tell when something is hearts or heads or tails but this? Strong Cheeto flavor the whole way through. I’ve never seen color come off a still but it came out with a yellow tint the entire time. Split it into two batches, one just straight on its own and one sitting on a handful of dehydrated Carolina reaper peppers and some other hot peppers. Clocking in at 48% abv. What’s it taste like you might wonder? Wash all the powder off of a Cheeto and suck on it for 5 minutes. After that take a shot of vodka. I think the flavor will be almost dead on to what this tastes like. Admittedly, I poured 750 mL down the drain, I can’t justify using another jar to store a meme. Over all, 10/10 would science again.
Thank you for your service. I look forward to your future endeavours.
I may have to cross off any oily items from my memes to distill list, my still continues to reek of Cheetos lol. Have it soaking in vinegar now. Gonna run my blueberry brandy through it in the next 24-48 hours and hope it works and the stench goes away, if not I have some copper cleaner coming in tomorrow but honestly I’m half expecting to need a new pot still column, whoops.
Thank you for your sacrifice For Science. Mr. Spock would be proud.
As my old teacher used to say, you can do stupid shit, just write it down so you can call it science. This is definitely a science moment and I look forward to many more
Based teacher. Documentation makes all the difference. Your descendants will need a record of your stupid shit mixed with brilliance.
Instructions about things to not do is as equally helpful as instructions about things to do.
Precisely! Don't make wine with Concord grapes and canned applesauce, which I am doing right now. What's another one? Don't let your airlocks run dry?
