challenging part is Mother Nature. 296 00:11:29,172 --> 00:11:30,827 But if we can figure out a way 297 00:11:30,827 --> 00:11:32,896 to make mash work off in these elements, 298 00:11:32,896 -->

know, Beaz has got this order 304 00:11:51,586 --> 00:11:54,206 from a a really, really good client. 305 00:11:54,206 --> 00:11:57,172 And he wants 140 proof corn liquor. 306 00:11:57,172 --> 00:11:59,379 I mean, my whole thought on the whole thing 307 00:11:59,379 --> 00:12:02,586 was to try to do something that we already kinda had built, 308 00:12:02,586 --> 00:12:05,896 -so we didn't have to go into a bunch of... -Well, I understand that. 309 00:12:05,896 --> 00:12:10,379 But I'm-I'm saying if we try to put this in it and screw it up, 310 00:12:10,379 --> 00:12:13,620 then we don't even have a functioning thump keg anymore. 311 00:12:13,620 --> 00:12:15,931 To get a lot of high proof liquor, uh, 312 00:12:15,931 --> 00:12:17,931 you really need a column still. 313 00:12:17,931 --> 00:12:20,758 And that, in essence, strips all your flavor. 314 00:12:20,758 --> 00:12:23,172 We need column still effects, 315 00:12:23,172 --> 00:12:26,068 but we need to retain the flavor that he wants. 316 00:12:26,068 --> 00:12:28,206 That's what we've got to try to shoot for. 317 00:12:28,206 --> 00:12:31,586 I think it will b our advantage if we can get this to work 318 00:12:31,586 --> 00:12:34,172 because 140 proof liquor, 319 00:12:34,172 --> 00:12:36,586 you know it comes at a much higher price point 320 00:12:36,586 --> 00:12:38,000 than 100 proof does. 321 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,896 You're way more help than Digger 322 00:12:39,896 --> 00:12:41,586 when it comes to building something. 323 00:12:41,586 --> 00:12:42,689 [chuckles] 324 00:12:42,689 --> 00:12:45,310 We're building it with two chambers and four pipes. 325 00:12:45,310 --> 00:12:47,931 The alcohol vapor coming into the thump keg 326 00:12:47,931 --> 00:12:51,413 is actually gonna pass by eight whole water pipes. 327 00:12:51,413 --> 00:12:54,862 As it rises from the first chamber, it will pass four of them. 328 00:12:54,862 --> 00:12:57,413 Then it goes over and all the way down to the bottom 329 00:12:57,413 --> 00:12:59,793 of the second chamber and rises again. 330 00:12:59,793 --> 00:13:01,586 The remaining steam, 331 00:13:01,586 --> 00:13:03,689 which should be the purest alcohol 332 00:13:03,689 --> 00:13:05,310 goes onto the condenser. 333 00:13:05,310 --> 00:13:07,413 [Kelly] I'll tell you what worries me more than anything, 334 00:13:07,413 --> 00:13:10,517 is with doing a double thump keg, 335 00:13:10,517 --> 00:13:12,551 and then we add this water to it 336 00:13:13,068 --> 00:13:14,896 to cool everything 337 00:13:14,896 --> 00:13:16,482 that we put so much back pressure 338 00:13:16,482 --> 00:13:18,758 on the pot, we blow the cap off. 339 00:13:18,758 --> 00:13:21,275 The only way that'll do that, I think Kelly, 340 00:13:21,275 --> 00:13:23,931 is if we let this thump juice build up too high. 341 00:13:23,931 --> 00:13:25,758 We'll have to drain it pretty often 342 00:13:25,758 --> 00:13:29,103 because once it comes up past the escape routes for the steam, 343 00:13:29,103 --> 00:13:31,206 it might create too much back pressure 344 00:13:31,206 --> 00:13:33,793 and cause the steel to pop the cap. 345 00:13:33,793 --> 00:13:36,275 I don't think it's that big of an issue. 346 00:13:36,275 --> 00:13:37,758 I'm not sure yet. 347 00:13:37,758 --> 00:13:39,413 Uh, we'll see. 348 00:13:39,413 --> 00:13:42,275 I bet you if it works like we think it ought to, 349 00:13:42,275 --> 00:13:44,758 everybody else will be trying to build one before you know it. 350 00:13:44,758 --> 00:13:46,689 -[Mark] That's okay. -[both chuckle] 351 00:13:58,172 --> 00:14:01,103 [Josh] We're gonna run our carrot apple brandy in the morning. 352 00:14:01,103 --> 00:14:03,586 We got a $20,000 or $30,000 still here, 353 00:14:03,586 --> 00:14:05,413 but I really don't like the fact 354 00:14:05,413 --> 00:14:08,103 that we built a cap that goes on a still 355 00:14:08,103 --> 00:14:10,241 that it's not perfect to do the job. 356 00:14:10,689 --> 00:14:12,275 It makes no sense. 357 00:14:12,275 --> 00:14:14,000 [Henry] The cap that we've got, 358 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000 it's just a little bit too small. 359 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,068 There's just not enough cap. 360 00:14:17,068 --> 00:14:18,862 -It's not gonna work. -It must be wider. 361 00:14:18,862 --> 00:14:21,896 I can't see putting some kind of piece of [bleep] apparatus 362 00:14:21,896 --> 00:14:24,793 on a [bleep] still like that, it just don't make sense. 363 00:14:24,793 --> 00:14:27,586 My concern is not that the cap is gonna blow off 364 00:14:27,586 --> 00:14:29,275 and [bleep] kill somebody. 365 00:14:29,275 --> 00:14:32,000 My concern is that right in the middle of the run, 366 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,310 when it starts steaming over really good, 367 00:14:34,310 --> 00:14:36,758 it starts blowing all our paste out of the joints, 368 00:14:36,758 --> 00:14:37,965 and then we're screwed. 369 00:14:39,620 --> 00:14:40,793 Okay. 370 00:14:40,793 --> 00:14:42,275 Definitely not gonna argue with Henry 371 00:14:42,275 --> 00:14:43,689 and them about what they wanna do. 372 00:14:43,689 --> 00:14:45,275 This is his stuff. 373 00:14:45,275 --> 00:14:47,482 But, just in case this don't work out. 374 00:14:47,482 --> 00:14:48,482 I'm definitely gonna go ahead 375 00:14:48,482 --> 00:14:49,758 and build me another cap. 376 00:14:53,931 --> 00:14:55,862 He's gonna be surprised when he comes back out, 377 00:14:55,862 --> 00:14:58,000 and I've got a brand new super 378 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,344 badass cap freaking ready to go. 379 00:15:03,379 --> 00:15:04,689 Hell, yeah. 380 00:15:04,689 --> 00:15:06,586 It fits perfect. 381 00:15:06,586 --> 00:15:09,310 But, if I'm gonna make this and not get bitched at, 382 00:15:09,310 --> 00:15:11,275 it better be a hammerhead cap. 383 00:15:11,275 --> 00:15:13,793 Because Henry's always going on and on and on 384 00:15:13,793 --> 00:15:16,793 about these hammerhead caps, like Virginia's. 385 00:15:16,793 --> 00:15:19,103 Famous for these hammerhead caps. 386 00:15:19,103 --> 00:15:21,344 From the past, and he's super proud of them. 387 00:15:25,310 --> 00:15:27,793 This would be a whole lot easier if I had some help. 388 00:15:27,793 --> 00:15:30,413 But the last thing I wanna do is ask for any help, 389 00:15:30,413 --> 00:15:31,896 because if I ask them for help, 390 00:15:31,896 --> 00:15:34,068 they're gonna be like, "What the hell are you doing?" 391 00:15:34,068 --> 00:15:35,586 What the hell does it look like we're doing? 392 00:15:35,586 --> 00:15:36,758 We're building a cap. 393 00:15:44,068 --> 00:15:46,482 [Henry] Oh, look at him back there sleeping. 394 00:15:47,482 --> 00:15:49,000 Uh, how we doing, son? 395 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,758 You didn't make it to the house. 396 00:15:50,758 --> 00:15:52,034 What the hell's that thing right there? 397 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,241 What the [bleep]? Are you serious? 398 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,896 [Josh] I've stayed here all night, working my ass off. 399 00:16:00,896 --> 00:16:02,896 -[Henry] You built this overnight? -[Josh] Yeah. 400 00:16:02,896 --> 00:16:05,068 -[Henry] You're bull[bleep] me. -Yeah. 401 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,344 [Henry] Man, look at this. 402 00:16:07,689 --> 00:16:09,275 Hey, Josh. 403 00:16:09,275 --> 00:16:12,172 So you just come in here and built it, just like that? 404 00:16:12,172 --> 00:16:14,172 -[Josh] Yeah. -You didn't build this for the steamer? 405 00:16:14,379 --> 00:16:15,172 Yeah. 406 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,172 It fits tight. 407 00:16:18,586 --> 00:16:20,275 I don't know, man, I wanna look at it. 408 00:16:20,275 --> 00:16:21,586 I like those hammered heads. 409 00:16:21,586 --> 00:16:23,413 I know you do. That's why it's on there. 410 00:16:23,413 --> 00:16:25,310 It's so damn ugly, it's pretty. 411 00:16:25,310 --> 00:16:26,482 [Josh] Henry loved it. 412 00:16:26,482 --> 00:16:27,862 And you know what that means? 413 00:16:27,862 --> 00:16:30,620 That means we're gonna use the new cap that fits the still 414 00:16:30,620 --> 00:16:32,586 versus the cap that don't fit the still. 415 00:16:32,586 --> 00:16:34,172 Where are the cap holes? 416 00:16:34,172 --> 00:16:37,413 It'll be like, a few more hours of work. 417 00:16:37,413 --> 00:16:40,275 You need to let me lay down a couple hours or something, damn. 418 00:16:40,275 --> 00:16:42,000 [Henry] You don't need any rest, you're a young man. 419 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,000 [both chuckle] 420 00:16:51,689 --> 00:16:53,103 [Jerry] My biggest thing is like, you know, 421 00:16:53,103 --> 00:16:54,586 he's wanting this-- this winter rum. 422 00:16:54,586 --> 00:16:56,379 I mean, what are you guys thinking? 423 00:16:56,379 --> 00:16:59,689 Everybody loves the daggone cinnamon style. 424 00:16:59,689 --> 00:17:01,275 -Like, a hot toddy kind of thing? -[Mike] Yeah. 425 00:17:01,275 --> 00:17:04,482 We've got an order of 14 gallons of wintertime rum. 426 00:17:04,482 --> 00:17:06,931 Now, we just gotta nail down that recipe. 427 00:17:06,931 --> 00:17:10,275 What do we have right now other than brown sugar? 428 00:17:10,275 --> 00:17:12,068 [Jerry] I mean, I've got maple syrup. 429 00:17:12,068 --> 00:17:13,792 [Mike] That would be a good mixture. 430 00:17:13,792 --> 00:17:15,172 [Richard] Oh, if we took that 431 00:17:15,172 --> 00:17:17,310 and put a little bit of traditional spice in there, 432 00:17:17,310 --> 00:17:18,758 -holiday spice in there. -[Mike] Maple-- 433 00:17:18,758 --> 00:17:22,896 A daggone maple, brown sugar with a little cinnamon fire kick to it? 434 00:17:22,896 --> 00:17:24,000 I know I'd drink it. 435 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,310 The key thing here is like, you know, 436 00:17:25,310 --> 00:17:28,103 we're having these cold nights and these cool days. 437 00:17:28,103 --> 00:17:29,482 We've got to keep this mash warm. 438 00:17:29,482 --> 00:17:31,758 Basically, what we're gonna do is we actually just make a... 439 00:17:32,793 --> 00:17:34,379 Basically, like a radiator. 440 00:17:34,379 --> 00:17:36,172 [narrator] In order to ferment mash 441 00:17:36,172 --> 00:17:37,482 in the cold of winter, 442 00:17:37,482 --> 00:17:40,620 Jerry plans to build a solar mash warmer. 443 00:17:40,620 --> 00:17:42,517 First, they'll build a radiator 444 00:17:42,517 --> 00:17:46,172 of parallel copper pipes placed inside a black box 445 00:17:46,172 --> 00:17:47,931 that's covered with plexiglass 446 00:17:47,931 --> 00:17:51,000 and fill the pipes with homemade antifreeze. 447 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,689 As the sun's rays enter the box through the plexiglass, 448 00:17:54,689 --> 00:17:57,620 it will heat the antifreeze inside the radiator, 449 00:17:57,620 --> 00:17:59,931 forcing it to flow out of the heater box 450 00:17:59,931 --> 00:18:02,689 and into a coil in a barrel of water. 451 00:18:02,689 --> 00:18:05,310 As the coil heats the water in the barrel, 452 00:18:05,310 --> 00:18:08,758 a solar powered pump will circulate that warm water 453 00:18:08,758 --> 00:18:10,793 through a set of six coils, 454 00:18:10,793 --> 00:18:12,862 one in each of the mash barrels, 455 00:18:12,862 --> 00:18:16,172 keeping the mash above the 65 degrees needed 456 00:18:16,172 --> 00:18:18,689 to sustain fermentation. 457 00:18:18,689 --> 00:18:20,103 [Jerry] Well, let's get started on this, guys. 458 00:18:20,103 --> 00:18:22,103 We haven't got long to burn. 459 00:18:22,103 --> 00:18:23,793 This season, the way everything's worked out, 460 00:18:23,793 --> 00:18:25,793 we've had to overcome a lot of obstacles 461 00:18:25,793 --> 00:18:28,793 and creating things to get over those obstacles. 462 00:18:28,793 --> 00:18:30,034 It's been important, 463 00:18:30,034 --> 00:18:32,275 but not nowhere near as important as this one right here. 464 00:18:32,275 --> 00:18:34,000 [Mike] Lay it to it, Jerry. 465 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,103 [Jerry] This is the final jump in our season. 466 00:18:36,103 --> 00:18:38,000 We've got a big order riding on this, 467 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,689 and we've got to make this happen, 468 00:18:39,689 --> 00:18:41,793 and this is the only way I can think of to make it work. 469 00:18:41,793 --> 00:18:44,275 I say, every time we spray paint all this black, 470 00:18:44,275 --> 00:18:47,275 and this is all absorbing the heat right here, all the surface area 471 00:18:47,275 --> 00:18:48,896 it actually gets reflection of the heat, 472 00:18:48,896 --> 00:18:50,413 the back side of the box is gonna, you know, 473 00:18:50,413 --> 00:18:52,172 heat the back of the pipes up too. 474 00:18:52,172 --> 00:18:54,000 It's gonna be a black box 475 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,068 for this radiator to sit down into 476 00:18:56,068 --> 00:18:59,758 with some plexiglass over the top of it to generate a lot of heat. 477 00:18:59,758 --> 00:19:02,586 So we just gotta start, you know, soldering some flux pipes in 478 00:19:02,586 --> 00:19:04,793 o the ends of the-- the other pipes 479 00:19:04,793 --> 00:19:06,137 and just create this thing. 480 00:19:07,689 --> 00:19:09,379 [Jerry] See what we can do real quick. 481 00:19:09,379 --> 00:19:11,000 We'll put some corks into these things 482 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,586 with a little air to it, just to double check it. 483 00:19:12,586 --> 00:19:13,793 -Make sure it's-- -Let's do it. 484 00:19:13,793 --> 00:19:15,379 We've got everything soldered together. 485 00:19:15,379 --> 00:19:17,551 All of our flux pipes are in and soldered. 486 00:19:18,862 --> 00:19:20,586 It's got air pressure, man. 487 00:19:20,586 --> 00:19:23,620 We're going to take it and pressurize it with iron corks, 488 00:19:23,620 --> 00:19:26,379 shoot some soapy water to them to see how we've done. 489 00:19:26,379 --> 00:19:27,517 All right, y'all, let's test her out 490 00:19:27,517 --> 00:19:28,586 and see what it's gonna do, brother. 491 00:19:28,586 --> 00:19:30,172 -Put the layer to it, hold it. -Flame to it. 492 00:19:31,482 --> 00:19:32,862 -[all exclaim] -[Mike groans] 493 00:19:32,862 --> 00:19:34,172 -Damn! -[Richard chuckles] 494 00:19:34,172 --> 00:19:35,586 I thought you had that thing drove in there. 495 00:19:35,586 --> 00:19:37,275 [Mike] Holy-- Yeah, I had it drove in there. 496 00:19:37,275 --> 00:19:38,931 Sh-- Three more of the bastards were in there 497 00:19:38,931 --> 00:19:41,000 -and that one decided to come out. -[Richard chuckles] 498 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,310 You know it holds pressure. 499 00:19:42,310 --> 00:19:43,931 There's no leaks whatsoever. 500 00:19:43,931 --> 00:19:45,068 A radiator, it's built. 501 00:19:45,068 --> 00:19:46,103 It's ready to hang. 502 00:19:46,103 --> 00:19:48,103 Richard's finishing up painting this thing up. 503 00:19:48,103 --> 00:19:50,103 We've got it set in a box. 504 00:19:50,103 --> 00:19:51,896 [Jerry] It's like, early morning sunshine this way, 505 00:19:51,896 --> 00:19:54,000 late afternoon sunshine that way, we're all good. 506 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,275 That's gonna get hot hot. 507 00:19:56,275 --> 00:19:57,379 Now that we got the heat and the source, 508 00:19:57,379 --> 00:19:58,482 figured it out, got it built, 509 00:19:58,482 --> 00:20:00,000 and now comes the important part, 510 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,172 we've gotta have something to go in this system, 511 00:20:02,172 --> 00:20:05,206 into the heat extension coil to keep this mash warm. 512 00:20:05,206 -->
