  You can make your own juice concentrates by freeze distilling. &nbsp;I&apos;ve made my own apple juice concentrate with this method when there was a sale on apple juice. &nbsp;Had to reduce the amount of space somehow. &nbsp;<br><br>Using heat will ultimately caramelize sugars and change flavor more than you expect. &nbsp;<br><br>*My method was to pour an amount of apple juice into a cup (to allow for the expansion of water), put the cap on loosely and freeze the entire gallon solid. &nbsp;You can suspend the upended frozen block of apple juice with the lid off over a large jar to collect the concentrate. &nbsp;Sugars melt first (with flavor) this is your concentrate. &nbsp;Once your block has lost most color and mostly looks like a chunk of ice it&apos;s pretty much done. &nbsp;Save the meltwater for sun tea or other fermentable projects as it will still have a pleasant flavor and possibly some residual sugars (there doesn&apos;t have to be waste in this process). <br><br>Hope you find this helpful. &nbsp;✌️

  I&apos;m going to give a secret for people who like to use the cream flavor vodka.. I&apos;m going to give a small ratio and then you can turn that into bigger batches.. 5 lb of sugar 2 lb of cornmeal. Two handfuls of oatmeal. One to two handfuls of rice. 1 and 1/2 bags of marshmallow. 2x2 piece of grated ginger to put in your mash.. your moonshine will have a hint of cotton candy or some kind of cream as it goes down The aftertaste will be creamy or like cotton candy possibly even birthday cake and then you don&apos;t need the vodka cream

  My apple pie recipe, I start with making an apple wine, any apples or even store bought juice will work fine, and in the mash, I put apple pie spice mix and brown sugar to get to a 12% potential, when it&apos;s fermented, I let clear and rack several times till nice and clear looking. Then I pull out what I want to run through the still, and whats left of the wine, I back sweeten with brown sugar, pastuerize, and bottle as wine. I run the unsweetened stuff through the still, throw out the heads, then collect the spirit all the way till the end of the tails. Then put the heads hearts, and some of the tails in together for proofing down, and proof down with distilled water to around 110 proof, then I cut the spirit even more with some apple pie wine for color and flavor, comes out around 90 proof when done, and tastes like a classic apple pie, but in the form of a whiskey/brandy. I then age with toasted applewood chips and a little bit of charred white oak for a month or so, then strain, and cold crash and rack a few times to get the liquor cleared and &nbsp;then add just a bit of glycerin to smooth out, and let sit for another week, and presto.

  Yep. &nbsp;Def need a tart and tangy apple. &nbsp;A better apple if you can get it is a Northern Spy apple. &nbsp;Or spy cross. &nbsp;It’s tangy Spicy and sweet in one.

  Lovely video as always! I would like to share with you guys a traditional apple liqueur recipe from Transylvania. It is the way the apple liquor is made for hundreds of years so if you want a taste of old school booze you should try this: 5 green apples, honey (to taste 2-7 tablespoons), 1 litre of vinars 45-55% ABV (that is wine moonshine or cognac before ageing), 1 litre of tescovina rachiu 45-55% ABV (it is a fermented and distilled spirit from unfermented grapes pomace. Add sugar and water to the pomace, let it ferment, distill and you have tescovina rachiu or tzuica de tescovina). Put all ingredients in a suitable jar and macerate for 1 month. Strain and enjoy or further age in mulberry wood barrels. Now... I know it may be difficult to get all this ingredients but you can substitute as following to get as close as possible: Distil some red demi-sweet wine (dry wine up to 4g/L sugar, demi-dry 4-12g/L sugar, demi-sweet 12-50g/L sugar, sweet over 50g/L sugar) that would be your vinars. Distil some white demi-dry wine that would be your tescovina rachiu. find some &nbsp;dry untoasted or charred mulberry wood to add in the jar. After one month strain, recover the wood and continue ageing until is finished. In winter when you sit by the fire you can drink it hot by boiling it briefly with some cinnamon and peppercorns. Enjoy!
