„If you are desperate, rum is a good spirit.“
- Tech Ingredients, 2021
Ha! I came here to post the same thing!
Thar be rum and thar be GOOD RHUM. Try some Kaniché XO from Barbados, neat. It just might change your mind. There's also Mount Gay Extra Old from Barbados. Best rum and tonic I've ever had but I haven't been willing to mix the Kaniché with ANYTHING. One day I'll mix it with tonic.
@@David-hm9ic Those are good tips - will add that to my "drinks to try" list. Thanks for sharing!
As far as rum goes, I have not got much experience. But I found that so far, my favorite is Don Papa, closely followed by Botucal.
I would have said, "If you're desperate, it's the Wal-Mart down the street and some Clan MacGregor scotch."
Given the first test run, and maybe a failed one, according to his estimate of 5 to 6 days, my first 50 liters should be ready jusy in time for the opening of bars here in Belgium. This gonna be a good summer
The amount of detail, the quality of these videos, the usefulness of information contained in your videos are overwhelming! Thank you very much for all the content in your channel.
Thanks.
@@TechIngredients I know of no youtuber more competent and prepared than yourself to properly test a critical meme-of-the-age: "could you cook a chicken with enough *sound* ?" Slapping and hurling are insufficient for high watts of thermalization - others have tried. Meanwhile, your sound cannon may be what the world has been waiting for! Just a stray thought, if there's ever a gap in time that needs a bit of silliness :)
"The amount of detail. . . information . . . contained in your videos are overwhelming!" - It's the 'techie disease' and while I can tolerate it because I suffer from the same, it's not the optimum for a general audience.
If you have so much to say, you can be sure that a good chunk of it is not really needed / will fly over the heads of the audience. And that means that the degree to which viewer interest is held is diluted. (I presented techie seminars for 20 years and learned this the hard way). Tightly edited beats 'wordy'.
100%!!
Have you actually gone out and done anything he's taught you though Careca? Tell the truth. Or did you just sit there watching like I did with no intention of ever doing it?
I feel like I learned more in the first 10 minutes, than I did in the last 10 years.
Welcome to the channel! 😁
i learned to program java !!
You sir have a true gift with your ability to explain complex topics in a clear and concise manner without boring the audience to death. Keep up the great work!
Thanks!
I just wanted to say, that i love your channel the most, because you are more practically oriented what works and what doesnt, and you also stay open minded and you arent telling us what we have to use or do, but rather you present it as "this is another way of doing it, if it suits you better" sort of way, i very much appreciate that. Because it leaves people free to make their own decisions.
I still think you are criminally undersubscribed, because your channel is amazing.
Thank you.
That is the scientific method...
Yes, there's is a nice attitude to these videos :)
i know Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid lost the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.
"In the form of urea.
*_Synthetic_* urea."
**Nile red:* has left the chat.
Hahaha
I got that reference, lol.
Lol!
Funny af
why would synthetic urea make him leave? is it in one of his videos?
"I'm going to assume, at this point, that you know nothing."
You're correct my dude lmao I'm fuckin' _stupid._
I was thinking the same exact thing!
"Practical chemistry"
This is the most profound and truthful statement ever. I want you guys on my team in the apocalypse.
"If you're desperate, rum is a good spirit"
Perhaps I commented too soon...
Dude they are lowkey preparing.
More like applied thermodynamics
I know, it’s all intertwined, don’t take this comment too seriously lol
"i have actually tested lemons in new england and deduced that they indeed contain citric acid"
Came here for this comment. And all the other great quotes in this episode. I'm cracking up.
@@peetiegonzalez1845 I've heard before that lemons don't contain a lot of citric acid but then a quick google search says they have tons of citric acid.
The “Home Depot concrete mixer” is what got me. This dude’s hilarious
Proof or it's not real
24:15 Thank me later. 👍
First boats, then gunpowder, now rum. Is Main Presenter turning into a pirate?
Next will probably be swordmaking, saber fencing and making prosthetic legs and hands! 😄

What can I say, you are that special kind of teacher that the lucky among us have encountered once, maybe twice in their life and will always remember...
I’ve found that I have to watch every video of this channel. The information in each one is universally useful.
Thanks!
I don't even drink, but because all your content is so interesting, I had to watch!
Word, here one gets to know some details of any topic at a pace that doesn't overwhelm you and he explains everything with enough detail that you just enjoy the whole process.
Same here and I actually dislike rum generally speaking
I just got my 50 year sobriety chip. F that I'm going to RUM#
If you are leagal age its not too late to start 😂
@@dimash244 Oh trust me, I was in serious training for years, and about to go pro, before I suffered a career ending injury. I've been on the sidelines for 11 years now.
I wish all my science teacher talked like you. Your video are all amazing.
Thank you.
Totally reminds me of one of my college professors. Great guy!! Great video!!
One of the most consistently interesting programs available on CZcams. I appreciate how you use readily available, modestly priced ingredients.
This is the channel that I set time aside for whenever a new video comes out.
When are you going to start making some "Flavored Rum", I'm wondering.
Problem is that it takes 4 weeks beforehand to get the rum prepared for drinking during the show.
@@kenhnsy I agree. This sort of thing takes time that you can't rush. But on the other hand, I don't mind it either since it's good quality.
Been a subscriber for 3 years or so. This channel never disappoints!
Totally agree!
This guy is freaking nuts! He knows about acoustics, rockets, distillation, and he is a great teacher and the videos quality is great!
Thanks!
Check out our earlier videos on lasers.
He knows everything. Is he GOD?
Love the continuous and low edited your videos are and of course the high level of information your videos have. I would love to see a video of you baking a cake and explaining every chemical reaction.
As a European I love it, that you as an American use the metric system. Thank you very much!
12:03 poor camera guy, did he hit a ceiling fan or did someone set a lid down without thinking? I need answers lol
it was defintly the lid.
here is your answer, have a nice day ^^.
Ceiling fan.
Unless, they put the lid on the ceiling.
All you folks who think it's a fan, just watch it again and watch the lid. You can see it fall and make the noise. Kinda disappointing there's so much misinformation given there's a timestamp and it's so obvious...
@@nommy8599 yeh the camara guy just get suprissed and moved his arm because the suprise.
As a rum lover I can't help but notice that bottle of Pusser's in the back. That's "original recipe" rum right there. ;)
Pusser's fan here,too.
This channel with all its depth and broad suite of great videos may be one of the greatest parts of the internet we have now. No joke, think about it - would that ever be possible on TV?
Thanks.
Absolutely not. Very early Myth Busters got close, but drifted away.
I like this guy. Within the first 30 seconds of the video he had my attention by giving me a history lesson. I love history.
That was very interesting. I especially liked the part about acetic and butyric acids mixing with ethanol to produce sweet smelling esters.
Yeah as a beer judge having encountered some of these even in commercial examples, I found it quite informative and surprising. Always happy to learn new things!
I greatly appreciate that you cover a variety of topics. Never gets stale.
I love how in depth he gets with describing everything
The amount of knowledge packed in this video is insane. Thank you for taking the time to make it.
I'm just not a drinker. I have not drank a single drop of any kind of alcohol in 10+ years and for some reason I just sat through a 42 minute video from start to finish to find out to make something I don't even want. I love CZcams.
you are doing a great job by avoiding alcohol for such a long time especially when living in western society which is alcohol crazy and addicted. congrats for not falling for the addiction of alcohol.
I know what u are talkin about , 30+yrs ago here not a drop but my wife uses spiced rum in cherry cobbler after alcohol leaves cobbler is great
because even if you don't want it, others definitely do, there's always a market for booze
24 years here, I watch for the how to logic, smart is as smart does.
It's the channel. You should've said you love this channel.
18:24 molasses is some heavy (dense of course) stuff, that's part of the reason that the Boston molasses flood was so destructive.
I have heard that on some very hot days, you can still smell the molasses.
Buried in treacle!!! What a way to go...
Great job! I've been brewing for 20 years and distilling for 5, and I have to say that this is one of the best treatments of the subject that I've seen in such an abbreviated format. The only think you may want to consider is (especially if using well water), the presence of iron, which can ruin the flavor of either brew or distilled products. Most sources I've seen suggest that keeping iron below 0.3 ppm (mg/L) will result in acceptable water.
I really love that you touched on nuances like mixing, aeration, cooling and heating, etc. Again, Great Job!
Thanks!
I'm new but looking to get into distilling. Can you friend me so I may ask your advice?
I'm just looking to make my own. Not commercial or trade. Just for my own use.
No "competition"
Unless you want to trade with me? I have skills other than brewing. Where are you at? I'm in Hemet California.
I can't overstate how much I enjoy your content. The variety and depth is perfect. Keep up the awesome work!
Waiting for tech ingredients episode on cannabis cultivation.
Amen to that.
@@joshuagibson2520 cough, cough, yeah!
outtake was a good addition, keep it up, going to try to get my dad to work with me like this
Outstanding presentation, I love how your high intelligence shows through in how you can seamlessly speak in technical terms and blend the science into practice. I can't wait for Part 2! Go Team Vanilla!
You guys are the best... a phenomenal resource for for real knowledge, backed by thoughtful explanations and all the necessary detail without the typical over-the-top theatrics of other channels! I've built speakers, working on a drone, and now it looks like a corner of the shop might be dedicated to making some after-work beverages! Many thanks!
I did not expect to find this type of content in this channel. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Alcohol is pretty cool haha. Tbh it’s not just chemistry, but also biology and much more
Liberals don't expect to see anything they don't control.
You can match with the other vids to get the most precise and pristine acoustic tones of the ringing in your ears the following morning
@@dwightswan2265 - Oh come-on! Is no place safe of the rhetoric?! Perhaps, resist the urge, to piss in everyone's _"Wheaties"_ (non-synth, Urea)... Cheers-
You need to get out of your comfort zone more Martin Melka
Yes, I’ve visited St. John USVI, and have toured the remains of the sugar cane production industry used for rum production. Very cool presentation. Thank you!
I had a couple instructors over the years with the level of thoughtfulness and teaching style, I really appreciate the educational value!
From a seasoned science teacher and practitioner, you are an inspiration. And crystal-clear enuciation to boot!
Your videos are by far the most detailed and helpful on CZcams and your ability to share knowledge effectively is exceptional. Thank you for the great content!
Thanks!
Is that a centre console from a boat under the stairs? Amazing instructional videos by the way ! I am already on the road to my next hobby - just have to figure out how I can set up an instructional class or something to cover the distillation going on in my house so I do not get arrested LOL (Canada eh)
commenting to feed the algorithm. Looking forward to part 2. ✌
Looking for this! Thanks cap!
I love rum, and despite not being allowed to distil, I thoroughly enjoy your highly informative videos. Keep up the good work. I'm as always looking forward to the next.
What a sweet person. Love the professionalism and wit.
Man I actually got excited when I saw a new video from you!! The rocket series was awesome
Are they discontinuing it? I thought they'll do some Hybrid stuff
@@cloakedsniper5016 they'll make more videos on that topic. tech ingredient usually make some alcohol related videos as they are into brewing their own and might as well film it because its fun and science. if you follow this channel from before you'll know that its a little bit of tradition to make alcohol brewing videos.
@@lordjaashin I got into them very recently but I'm loving every bit.
I'm actually part of a rocket club and was hoping to learn from their hybrid videos, which is how I found them in the first place.
@@cloakedsniper5016 - Came for the rockets and, stayed for the rum!
Incredible video. Such incredible knowledge well explained.
The detailed step by step accurate scientific no nonsense approach is wonderful.
OMG, you are the best chemistry teacher I saw on CZcams.
Congrats and thank you.
Interesting video. I use a similar setup for the mead that I make. I usually use Fermaid O for the starter and EC 1118 or D47 yeast because of the aromatics they add when aging the mead over the lees. I also add Fermaid K nutrients at the 1/3 and 2/3 sugar breaks to help keep it going. I personally use a "big mouth bubbler" style of fermentation vessel with a spigot at the bottom. That way I usually end up with 4 drinkable gallons out of a 5 gallon brew. I have been improving my method over about 3 years and just added a heating pad with thermometer to the mix, but I still use a blanket folded in half and wrapped around the jug for insulation.
It is always interesting seeing what other brewers do for their setup and look for ways to improve my own brewing process.
From rockets to rum.
Love this channel!
this is honestly one of my favorite educational channels thank you.
In the 1980's I took several crews of men to work in the U S. Virgin Islands. Naturally we were drawn to the, "duty-free" rum on St. Croix. We certainly found the consumption of Crusian Rum a pleasant distraction from 12 hour work days and making rum videos certainly peaks my interest and revives some tropical adventures from close to 4 decades ago. Still loving the science lessons.
Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of Capt' -Morgan's- Tech Ingredients rum!
After watching all your videos of making spirits I feel that this summer I need to make my own. I just need to get the equipment now
Remember to toss away the heads or you’ll go blind 😁
Your tips and content are always excellent. I had fermented the grapes I found by the former owner when I bought my 1st house in central Minnesota. 200 lbs.=67 bottles. One of the most enjoyable chemistry experiments yet.
Thank you Mr Tech Ingredients. Always enjoy your calm, unhurried pace. Very calming, at the same time as interesting. I appreciate your time and knowledge.
I'd love to suggest an addition to your gin basket - bay leaves. There's an incredible rum bar in New Orleans called Cane and Table, and they sometimes infuse rum with bay leaves, the same way you'd make sun tea. Please try it, the complimentary depth of flavor is remarkable. Thank you for all of your videos, I'm getting a lot out of them.
Cacao beans or coffee definitely. Vanilla extract is too common these days. Very interesting video.
My favorite channel for curious adults. Fantastic content , no razzamatazz and no duff duff music drowning out the sound of what's happening and the commentary. Just the best.
Having come from a Lab environment in the Flavors industry I sure appreciate not only the information, but the also the use of the Metric system!! It’s SO easy!! Thank You!!
I wish you would make a indoor hydroponic/soil grow room, and plant some herbs, lettuces, tomatoes, peppers and squash.
I would love to see how your brain builds a self sustaining eco system
It’s not sustainable to grow vegetables in a hydroponic setup.
Most of the time you’ll end up paying more for the produce than the stuff you get at the supermarket.
If you’re into a more balanced and environmentally friendly way of life then you’re better off sourcing your produce from nearby farms that are producing ecologically.
In the EU there’s a certificate the farmers can earn if they uphold the standards for ecological production for example.
In the US i believe you’re out of luck so you’re going to have to actually visit the farms and see for yourself and use your own best judgement.
Ya I’d watch just to see what they come up with. Guarantee it would be a new approach.
Herbs would.pay itself. 4 plants per household !! In Canada 🇨🇦 😎
I vote for adding the cacao!
This is by far the best scientific channel on CZcams. Thank you so much.
Go with the vanilla
This was one of the best instructions I've ever seen on anything. Thank you
Another excellent presentation. Many years ago I worked in a lab where I noted the intense fruity smell of( as memory serves) ethyl acetate. When camping on the West coast of Tasmania( temperate rainforest) we would burn "rubbish" wood in our campfire. One particularly rotten log when cut released a strong smell of ethyl acetate. Thanks for your work.
I've a funny feeling that dude is fond of a few scoops. 👍🍺🍻
Excellent science. Each of these productions makes me increasingly proud of being a patreon supporter.
I got a feeling, your videos will outlive us... keep em coming!
"booze is booze" - main presenter, tautology god
Vanilla...
Thanks for all that you bring to us, your subscribers...
If I was a 18th century rum merchant I would name my ship “booze is booze”
How is this a tautology?
man, i love this guy. im sad i dont get to distill anything in my area,... can we get some Rum in the Merch Store?
As a long time subscriber, I must say that your content continually gets better and better. This is by far the best video on rum making that I have seen. I have dabbled with home distillation for the last few years following my time living abroad in Haiti. I learned to appreciate the complexities of rum and the very dark and controversial history associated with it after visiting the original Barbancourt rum distillery and several of the old plantation museums that show how truly horrendous this industry was during its early years. Barbancourt is often credited as one of the first commercially produced rums, and until recently was even produced in the same distillery using the same recipe that quite literally became the notorious spirit that was prized and traded by the pirates of the Caribbean.
Thanks!
Very interesting as well. The more you dig into the history of what we assume is an unremarkable product it's suprising how wide ranging are the factors that lead to it. Paper is another example.
I was just relaxing on a Saturday afternoon and now I'm suddenly searching for pots and ingredients. I don't think I will do it in those dimensions but on a more reasonable level as it would only be for myself.
Love the variation in your videos and the videos in general.
After watching this I'm afraid you'd have a heart attack watching me make mead. No heating, a bottle and a balloon. I might try adding citric acid, I normally just add a little ascorbic acid. I use citric acid as a cleaner(plus much more) so I always have it around.
Not at all. A good tool is one you can't add anything to, a great tool is one you can't take anything from.
Let's call it traditional or rustic and if it flies...:-) I've seen vessels used for mead production centuries ago and it worked too.
Exact tools and measurements offer less room for error but it can also mean less room for pleasant surprise.
I'm biased as a chemist but brewing has always been somewhere between art, magic and craft.
Great video as always. Just a small point: Aspergillus are mycetes, not bacteria
K
Great detailed information about distilling. I've got a new hobby and I just want to say thank you sir!
You're welcome.
Thank you for an excellent discussion of the underlying scientific factors involved in distillation.
You answered a question that has been bugging me since my bootlegging schoolboy days. I generally fermented whatever I could find for free. The best was when on a whim I added a dirty sweet potato(s) fresh from my garden. The result is on my top 5 list of best things I've ever smelled. I used to wonder if I accidentally inoculated the mix some sort of truffle spores or something. I didn't realize that vinegar, butyric acid and who knows what else react with alcohol.
the acid + alcohol reaction is usually rather slow, one of the reasons aging is necessary
Other thing is when you pour, the handle is hollow to allow air in so it glugs less and pours faster, just needs to be above the liquid level.
Easy way is to stab the bottom with a knife, like shotgunning a beer.
This channel is an absolute gem
Been here since less than 10k, will be here past 1M. I thought this then and I still think this. This is the kind of guy you want as a neighbor or friend. Spiced rum is my favorite thank you for the information!
Now this is a science experiment that should definitely not be done BEFORE your home-made rocket engine projects...
With great power comes great responsibility
@@krap101 [Loud ominous beeping]
On the other hand, that may have been how hybrid rockets were invented.
I just learned that strep and yogurt factoid from that new Walter Isaacson book, The code breaker, about CRISPR @ 7:18
I know what a hydrometer is. I love that you explain it every time.
You are my favorite professor, thanks!
've always thought using Sweet Feed, like for horses, would make an amazing beer to distill. It's got molasses in it and grains and oats and all kinds of stuff. Probably an nice blend between rum and single mat rye whiskey.
There is a recipe loosely based on this idea, but it’s corn and molasses. The distilling channel Still It does one.
Here it is:

Coconut flavoured Rum ftw, though Vanilla will certainly be nice too I imagine.
Cocunut flavoured rum, oh Malibu!!!
@@Cornz38 Malibu & cola ( or lemonade ) is just the best. Shame it's so damned expensive really, but all the same..
You are so concise and detailed in your description of the process. Absolutely fantastic content, thank you. One note on overpitching yeast: It results in acetyldehyde, which imparts a green apple off flavour in the wash. You might want to drop down to 0.5g year per litre.
I could watch you guys watch grass grow. Another excellent video!
You really should do a blend of spices like cinnamon, cardamom and cloves.
CINNAMON VANILLA!!! couldn't vote for 2, but I vote for a blend .
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience in such a concise way.
I'm slowly consuming all of your videos. I like very much what you are doing - a mixed bag of awesome!
Keep up the excellence and thanks for you and your team's efforts!
Being half Japanese, great pronunciation on “Sake”
Being whole japanese person myself. Great attempt at pronunciation of "sake"
Being chapanese I'm pretty sure I'm cool.
@@Questchaun well when your with a bunch of Americans who call it saki it’s annoying as hell haha
Awesome video! What was the bang at 12:03? made me spill my rum 😄
😲🥃 Quick slurp it up!
A lid fell.
Absolutely love your videos, your style and knowledge is accessible for all, from absolute beginner to mad scientists.
Thank you for using the globally more common metric system, while im of an age where i grew up with the imperial system, it's much nicer to have modern consistency.
Thanks again for the varied knowledge you make available. It's extremely important for people to have a resource that presents in an understandable way.
I have pretty reasonable knowledge of distillation, but some of your ideas have been very useful and other topics have opened my learning to completely new areas.
Thank you.
I always add a little rum when making banana smoothies. The kids love it.
when buying chipmunks- do I need to use distiller's chipmunks or will baker's chipmunks be fine ?
To be honest if you own a still and can't get your hands on distilled water you should probably just give up 😂
Insanely educational. Bravo!
Such an excellent channel. Legitimately the smartest guy on youtube
