Still Behind The Bench

Hey all, It's been a long while. Finally got my computer fixed, and here is the video that should have been posted in late October sometime. So I should be posting videos regularly from now on. It's the last video for developing a recipe, it's specifically talking about making a rum.

Greetings all, Here is a new video on why you should put copper in your still, and what can possibly happen if you do not. I also give some recommendations for people who have stainless steel stills like myself. Below is the link to the study I reference in this video, it is free for anyone to access. Have a great week!

Greetings all, Here is a video on Chlorine, Chloramine, what issues it can cause, and how to deal with it. There is a part where I am talking about granulated activated carbon, and I just sorta skip over some of the stuff written on the whiteboard. I did that because I decided I was skipping over a lot of the info behind activated carbon, and I thought I would just do an entire video on it instead. Thanks, Have a great week!

Hey all, Time for another video to drop! Sorry it's been so long, I'm hoping to be able to get back into the groove of things and get back to a more regular schedule. This video is trying to address the Magic Boiling Myth, by explaining Vapour Pressure, Boiling, and Evaporation, plus more.

Hello All!, Time for another video. This one is on Proofing, and specifically on Diluting spirits and Fortifying spirits. Hope you all like it. This is the 2nd time I uploaded the video, because Youtube was choking on the first version I uploaded, it wouldn't render the HD versions, and would only do 360p. But problem solved! Here is the link for the Canadian Alcoholometric Laboratory Table 1996, the zipped text file is at the bottom.

Hello All!, Time for a new video. This one is on Activated Carbon. How it works, how to use it, etc... To find Gert Strands Book just search for "gert strand activated carbon book"

Hello All!, Time for another video to drop. This time it is a topic recommended by one of you viewers. It's on Diacetyl and Other Buttery Compounds, how to pronounce them, what they are, how they are created, and how to control Diacetyl production in your process. I hope you like the video, and don't forget you can help this channel via Patreon, buying Merch at the Merch Store, or making a one time Paypal donation. Have a great week!

Hello All, Time for a new video, this one took a long time to research. But below are all the links I referenced in the video, as well as some other links/studies I used as references, in no specific order.

Hello All, Time for another video to drop. This one is on Fruit mashes, Grain mashes, Cyanogenic glycosides, Glycosidic nitriles, and Ethyl carbamate. Amino Acid Leucine -- CYP79 +O2 +NADPH -- right-handed aldoxime right-handed aldoxime -- CYP71 (flips hydroxyl) -- left-handed aldoxime left-handed aldoxime -- CYP71 +NADPH +hydroxyl -- nitrile nitrile -- CYP71 + O2 + NADPH -- hydroxynitrile hydroxynitrile -- UDP glucuronosyltransferase -- Epiheterodendrin (Acrospires of malted barley) Epiheterodendrin -- yeast beta-glucosidase -- Isobutyraldehyde cyanohydrin Isobutyraldehyde cyanohydrin -- Thermal decomposition -- Isobutyraldehyde + HCN HCN + H2O + O2 + heat --- ethyl carbamate

Hello all, Time for a new video, this is one based on a post I saw on reddit. The post was about the commonly known 551 cleaning solution of 500mL of water, 50mL of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and 1oz (28g) of citric acid. It is primarily used to clean copper of oxidation, or the development of other salts. I myself have never thought that hydrogen peroxide would be adding anything to this recipe, I don't understand why it is there. So I decided to do an experiment, and make it into a video at the same time. I'd like to thank all my Patreons for helping the channel out.
