😉😉😉😉
🤣🤣🤣
Glad they made 4 buckets for the learning purposes :D
Cheers! I love the video! As someone who distilled our country's version of this drink called palinka, the only thing I would add, is to swap the sugar with honey, or even honeycomb debrie. It similarly kickstarts the fermentation process, and halts unwanted mold from forming in the first place. Some say in my country that beetsugar fermented alcohol can give you a nasty headache. Not to mention the nice honeycomb taste in the endproduct. It can sometimes kill certain yeast variants as well, but the tradeoff is worth it. In addition you might want to try and remove most if not all of the seeds from the fruit, the cyanide in the seeds might make the end product have an unvanted medicine like aftertaste. Leaving around 15% of the seeds is recommended however because the seedshells also give a nice aftertase to it. I usually remove all of the seeds, remove the seeds themself from the shells and add the crushed shells back in the fermenting container. What a% do you usually dilude for in the endproduct?
Very informative video - thanks! We recently bought a house with 16 plum trees in the garden. The previous owner was Croatian….
Thank you very a very clear, informative and useful video. Well done, excellent job.
Ich liebe deinen Humor 😂
Alkohol selber machen und dient nur zur Ausbildung. Wird nicht konserviert.
Das muss man dir lassen 😂🫶
Bitte nicht verschwenden! Danke für den Film ❤
Really nice and easy for everyone to understand the steps! I'm new at this but it is a really interesting hobby. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Great, very informative video. Thanks for posting this. You have a new subscriber.
Thanks. Very informal for know nothing about it :)
That's a big batch "just for educational pourposes" hahaha... nice video mate, I'll adjust to fruits native to my region, thanks!
See how the liquid collects in the strainer at 8:28? Save yourself some trouble and use a hose to siphon it into another container with some cheesecloth as a filter.
Thank you for such detailed video. I adore your disclaimer - "100+ liters of Slivovitz just for fun, but not for drinking" :-)
I assume, that it is too much chemistry. I use only yeast (5 or 8 grams per 23 liters of water-fruits mixture, depends on producer). No defoamer, no pectoenzymes or whatever is added.
However, distillation process will allow to get rid of any additives and on the exit it would be nice distilled product.
In the meantime, first part of technology for making wine and 40% alc. products is the same, until distillation, that's why for fermenting process in both cases I prefer to use little chemistry, as it is possible.
P.S. Thank you for comments regarding mixer - stainless steel is needed. First time I bought painted mixer and after first time half of paint had delaminated and transferred into liquid :-(
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Nice video!
Thanks!
That is a darn nice barrel.
Thanks :)
Grind or file some grooves into the edges of the stainless steel stirrer used in the drill, should speed up the process of preparation ;-)
Thank you for this, I love slivovitz but have never made it as in the UK the plums cost too much. I'm definitely going to make a batch using your method. Gru
Thanks and good luck
Remove the seeds, it is important, bcs your spirit can get bitter taste
Do u take the plums pips out
great vide thank you very much! although i don't believe for a second that it wasn't for human consumption lol
Hello! What variety of plums did you used? ...or what varieties are recommended?
Thanks for the video.
just use sljiva
sljiva plum
Where do you sell the product?
Fed posting in 2021
When using overripened fruit (as you should) it is impossible to wash it.
Nice, but...
Additional sugar, NO NO and NO. Why? Because, you said 5kg on 100kg of plums, someone could say that is nothing only 5%, but that is not correct. In 100kg of plums you have 10-15% of fruit sugar and you can get about 10-15 l of sljivovica. There yours 5kg of sacharose is 25-33% of all sugar in it.
Additional sugar will give alcohol, but not the aromas. Fruit sugar will get alcohol and aromas. Because of adding nonfruit sugar you will get a tasteless sljivovica.
Greetings
I am going to try this for my father. He is Croatian, Sicilian and Spaniard but born in America. He really seems to be drawn to Croatia though, probably because of his mother who died long before I was ever born. I’d really like to try to make this for him. It’s a really great video. Thank you for making it. I have one question. Were the seeds left in for the fermenting process? I didn’t see them really during straining. Thank you again for taking the time to post this. ☺️
He's American and none of the other 3.
No doubt he speaks no other language but English and has no connection to any of the countries.
You Americans and your heritage obsession is absurd, calling yourselves Italians or whatnot when you're 5th generation US and don't look or sound like someone from the country you have the audacity to claim to be from.
What is the packet? in English 3:01
Black socks with shorts. Lol, very European. Great video. I enjoyed your take on the recipe.
Don’t be a hater. My daughters make fun of my socks with shorts and sandals.
Better than walking in your own house in shoes like 'muricans do.
Where’s the distill videos.
but why bother cleaning the plums if you gonna ferment and distill them? not like any germs or whatever will make it through the distillation
Fascinating! Thank you for the lesson.
Viewing in California
the alcohol will definitely not be drinked **wink2** **nudge2**
I don't make alcohol.
My still does.
My goal is to make good slivovitz
There are couple big problems.
First woter and sugar never go vith brendy. They need to be only from fruit.
Then fermentation whith seeds and finaly destlation only djuss.
All of this proces givs lovest quality of slivovtz
Now try writing that in English again.
Your allowed to make it and drink it -- right ??? You just cant sell it for $$$$.??
Correct
So glad you didn´t consume that.
I will ofcourse not take any inspiration or make any slivovitz... :)
Chłopie wstydzisz się polskiego?
Dear god... Imagine going through this many unnecessary steps to make so little rakija 😂. What a waste of time and effort.
Shockingly, worst way to make it. So many ridiculous and amature moves. 👎
What makes it bad?
Hey what r u doing? No need for all addings u did. Nonesence
