- Ultimate Voltarian LOCAL GIN !! GHANAIAN Authentic local Gin !! how palm wine is turned into Gin
Akpeteshie is the national spirit of Ghana, produced by distilling palm wine or sugar cane. In Nigeria it is known as Ògógóró (Ogog'), a Yoruba word, usually distilled locally from fermented Raffia palm tree juice, where it is known as the country's homebrew. Today, there is a misconception that Ogogoro can be pure ethanol, but traditionally, it had to come from the palm tree and then be distilled from this source.
It is popular throughout West Africa, and goes by many names including apio, ogoglo, ogogoro (Ogog'), VC10, Kill Me Quick, Efie Nipa, Kele, Kumepreko, Anferewoase, Apiatiti, Home Boy, Nana Drobo, One Touch among others. It is also known as sapele water, kparaga, kai-kai, Sun gbalaja, egun inu igo meaning The Masquerade in the Bottle, push-me-push-you, and/or crim-kena, sonsé ("do you do it?" in Yoruba language). In the Igbo language it is known as Akpuru achia. Other Nigerian epithets include: Udi Ogagan, Agbagba Urhobo, as well OHMS (Our Home Made Stuff), Iced Water, Push Me, I Push You and Craze man in the bottle. Ghanaian moonshine is referred to as akpeteshie.
History and origins
Before the advent of European colonization of what is today Ghana, the Anlo brewed a local spirit also known as "kpótomenui," meaning "something hidden in a coconut mat fence."
With British colonization of what became known as the Gold Coast, such local brewing was outlawed in the early 1930s. According to a 1996 interview with S.S. Dotse about his life under British colonial rule: "Our contention was that the drink the white man brought is the same as ours. The white men's contention was that ours was too strong...Before the white men came we were using akpeteshie. But when they came they banned it, probably because they wanted to make sales on their own liquor. And so we were calling it kpótomenui. When you had a visitor whom you knew very well, then you ordered that kpótomenui be brought. This is akpeteshie, but it was never referred to by name."
The name "akpeteshie" was given to the drink with its prohibition: the word comes from the Ga language (ape te shie, the act of hiding) spoken in greater Accra and means they are hiding, referring to the secretive way in which non-European inhabitants were forced to consume the beverage. Despite being outlawed, Illicit spirits remained commonplace, with reports that even schoolboys were able to easily obtain akpeteshie through the 1930s. Demand for akpeteshie and the profits to be made from its sale was enough to encourage the spread of sugar cane cultivation in the Anlo region of Ghana.
Distillation was legalized with decolonization and Ghanaian independence. The first factory was established in the Volta Region, taking advantage of the area's supply of sugar cane plantations.

Wow, I meet a Jamaican guy, and I told him pure Rum is from Africa and he was challenging me about that. and I told him he should remember we thought them, because their root is from Africa😄😄
Exactly ✔️✔️🙌🏿
@@yawgh4650, Tell that Jamaican guy that we Cubans have had Rum long before any African set a foot in Jamaica, my country Cuba has longer history making Rum from Sugar Cane than Jamaica, we Cubans always have known and admitted that our Cuban culture, our music, our Rum and food have millions links to the African continent and culture, Cuba has two mothers, one is Spain and the other is Africa.
Jujur saya pigin mau ke luar negeri tapi bahasa susah banget 😅😅

That was really interesting, great work!
Thank you Big sharki ❤
In Ghana, I didn’t seek out palm wine, I drank a lot of Star beer (which is good, it’s like Bud Light or regular Budweiser). I also drank Guinness, and a different brand of local sweet stout (or porter). Everybody: myself and Ghana friends as well often drank a malt beverage with little to no alcohol in it, but it was nutritional and vitamin B-giving. I learned very much and met many great, respectable, & kind friends. I miss Ghana, I adore Ghana 🙏❤️
Thanks😁😁
Wow beautiful
You guys always scare us with voltarians but see how they welcomed our brother from another tongue, well done Ghana
Thanks for watching my brother, please share the video for other to see the wonderful hospitality ❤️
Good 👌👌👌
Thanks for sharing ❤.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the video, and for the question you asked regarding the cutting down of the palm trees.
I think it is more sustainable to extract the palm wine without cutting down the trees. They can still plant more but without cutting them down.
I am Sierra Leonean. we don't cut the to produce palm wine
Thanks for watching, as he explained it give good taste when it down. And When it down that smoked can’t be use to charge up. Thanks for watching, please share
@cookingwithsindaco the palm wine extraction without cutting down the tree has three to four stages. Each stage has its unique taste.
Stage 1
is less sugar, less alcohol content.
Stage 2
Is about 60 to 70 % sugar the remaining is alcohol
Stage 3
Is about 70% alcohol 30%sugar
Stage 4
Is the final (drying out after) with about 80 to 85% alcohol
Depending on the nature of the tree, this process will take about 2 to three months, and about three or more gallons daily.
Interestingly, stage one sometimes can be of very high sugar.
PLEASE SEND ME SOME PALM-WINE 🍷 THIS MINUTE 😂😂😂🇺🇲

This is the process that I know cos they used to tap some opposite our house and that was how they did it😄
Yea after my first video about apketeshi I was told to search for this one. Because it authentic
Wow well done bro 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching, please share the video to showcase
For those complaining about trees being cut down the locals grow them for multi purpose use. Different products are derived from one tree like the palm fruit out of which palm oil is is made out of then the seeds give them palm kernel which yields oil. The cake is used in poultry feeds the dead tree produces grubs as protein which is a delicacy let’s I forget the leaves which is used in weaving baskets and mats there are still more uses than I could remember. Replanting of seedlings is a continuous process by the families who inherited the land and the plantation.
Exactly, thanks for this explanation ❤️🙏🏿

They all came from Africa. Remember slavary took our people to the Caribbean
That is my mother 's village and is nice place
orekodo❤️thanks for watching, please share
Good job. Akpeteshie is not an Ewe word rather it is Ga language. Nye petiashie means to kneel down. Akpeteshie was abolished during Nkrumah's time before. People have to kneel down and drink the stuff. The sellers would tell the buyers to kneel down because it becomes struggle stuff. I am not a Ga so anyone can correct the spelling of Petiashie
Oh wow, It my first time hearing this story tho. Thanks for watching, please shate
Amazing how different every country develops their own methods for brewing.
In my country we sap it from old trees.
A person need to climb to the top of a 40 feet tree to get the sap.
Thanks for watching, please share, yes so many countries get the sap from the top
GHANA..
in papua indonesia we called it Bobo/saguer,
Hmm 😂 this drink
👍
I am British born in UK but I have a sister from Ghana. I will ask her about the trees being cut down, I feel it's pure laziness to be cutting the trees down to get to the sap.
It really laziness when the tree up standing
Please how long from accra to that place
It around 2:30mins also depending on the traffic
Justice for the Dwarf Palm Tree 😂😂
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥slaveryyys naamesss vegetables and fruits etc.🧕☂️🙏☝️🌍
The majority of Ghanaians don't know that they are blessed the majority of them are running to the cities where they don't have nothing to eat what a thing when you have been totally bamboozled if only they would look to help each other instead of fighting against each other then can achieve any thing if they would just unite but like every where else where the blacks are even in the carried beyond it is the same situation the poor fight the poor while the rich live in luxury
True we’re soo bless but we’re blind to see. Thanks for watching, please share
Nice one..Well done ✔️ PROUDLY AFRICAN ...THANK YOU.
Orekodo ❤️❤️🙏🏿 thanks for watching, please share
Watching from Asia. But in Nigeria they don't pull down the tree, they tap the wine with tree still standing.
That explanation was done in the video. About the standing tree
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🥰🥰 thanks for watching please share 😊
....show the process next time
Not sure yet, but I will like to relocate to that part of Africa to work with them. There is something more to that palm wine, the alcohol, and the palm tree as a whole.
Where are you now please
