This was by far the weirdest distillation I’ve done from a process perspective. I’m a fairly green distiller but usually I can tell when something is hearts or heads or tails but this? Strong Cheeto flavor the whole way through. I’ve never seen color come off a still but it came out with a yellow tint the entire time. Split it into two batches, one just straight on its own and one sitting on a handful of dehydrated Carolina reaper peppers and some other hot peppers. Clocking in at 48% abv. What’s it taste like you might wonder? Wash all the powder off of a Cheeto and suck on it for 5 minutes. After that take a shot of vodka. I think the flavor will be almost dead on to what this tastes like. Admittedly, I poured 750 mL down the drain, I can’t justify using another jar to store a meme. Over all, 10/10 would science again.

Hey now no need for hate, let’s sit down with a nice glass of flamin hot eldrich horror and hash out our differences lol. But don’t worry, it’s only going to get worse from here, I don’t know what’s worse than fermenting and distilling Cheetos but by god I’ll find something even worse than this.

I may have to cross off any oily items from my memes to distill list, my still continues to reek of Cheetos lol. Have it soaking in vinegar now. Gonna run my blueberry brandy through it in the next 24-48 hours and hope it works and the stench goes away, if not I have some copper cleaner coming in tomorrow but honestly I’m half expecting to need a new pot still column, whoops.

As my old teacher used to say, you can do stupid shit, just write it down so you can call it science. This is definitely a science moment and I look forward to many more

I wonder if something can be done using cocoa or chocolate. I would call it “kilo of shit + kilo of sugar”
