Making Blueberry Lemonade Alcohol | Moonshiners | Discovery

This is how we make the Moonshine guys we got a lot of money sitting back here $750 worth of blueberries we’ve decided to mash in blueberries and lemons this is going to be a really risky run here but if we make it happen heavy there’s no doubt in my mind

That blueberry lemonade is sell very well if we get the flavor right we got some barrels of mash to do man I know it and it’s going to be difficult because we got to mix a lemon and a blueberry together and those two don’t even live

In the same town no they’re two totally different damn fruits that’s for sure I mean blueberry and lemon together that’s a real complicated MH I can run a simple corn shine right now and put a whole bunch of money in my pocket I mean why are we taking this big huge risk of

Going and run these blueberries I mean this is stupid if you mash it all in at one time and it don’t work out right you’re screwed and the tricky part is going to be to find out how much blueberry how much lemon we put in it so

About the ratio between the two yeah what if we actually could run it separately how you going to do that if we can mash them separately we just got a good lemonade and we got a good blueberry mhm then we build a pot with multiple sections in it to where we can

Put lemon in one section blueberries in another section keep the mash separate in the pot as well but you know they still going to marry together into the c yeah yes but now what if we buil multiple burners and we can move them so we can control the steam flow if you can

Control the heat you can control the steam that’s where all your flavors at you know when it comes to alcohol there’s several different things if you’re looking for taste it it it all boils down to a molecular level so by mixing these via the steam rather than running them individually and mix them

After the fact we’re going to get a much better taste profile which is going to command a much better price so if we taste it on the Fly and all we taste is lemon we can just take and turn that lemon back and we can taste it again get

It to exact thing we want it right there on the Fly hell let it work I don’t know about this it’s overly complicated and in order to build this still will need two sheets of copper and the price of copper is Sky High right now all right let’s get this Mash mashed

In that’ll be lemonade in just a little while I won’t J this stuff’s potent it’s concentrated you know it’s pure lemon juice that we’re trying to mash in here we I think we’re like a 2 two you know lemons are very acidic but ye thrive on a little of a neutral

Environment know one of the things that we can add to bring the pH level up a little bit is baking soda it’ll actually neutralize the acid like it is guys 53 co co baners so ready to move on watch them fingers they just suck it down in there you won’t never get it

Back I promise you we’ll have some Richard midle finger liquor we’ll call it Josh Owens liquor yeah it let’s pick some yeast to get the hell out of here you know we’re coming up with a totally different design for this pot and for the very expensive mash for

The first run of the season if it don’t work it’s make the square zero for me so Jerry’s idea better work cuz we’ve got a lot of money online and a lot ofate let’s get out of here let’s do it
