Fermenting & Distilling Tequila (3/3) | How to Brew Everything: Mezcal and Tequila

previously I learned about harvesting agave or making tequila even got to attempt harvesting one myself next up we head to the distillery to finish turning it into actual tequila we just harvested some of the GAVI you walk me through the next step after that we bring the rabbit to the patio we use always in Casa Rosada clay oven we have in this facility 15 clay ovens capacity for each oven are 50 tons and we can use at the time three or four of them it's a very traditional way if we use a huge pressure cooker the flavor energy light is going to change so that's the reason why since 1817 this company we use only the clay oven that's the way how we are going to obtain an unique profile no tequila spoon the specific the flavor the aroma the smell and we could derive it by steam on 26 hours about 20 26 hours we pulling down for 24 hours and then the milling that extracts the juice from the fiber exactly we are the barb 14 liters of water to one liter of a cup of use do you do anything with a lot or fiber the fiber we use as a biomass because we don't make any pollution you know prophecy ghave juice is piped through those pipes to here this is fermenting a fermentation bots are open on top let's go upstairs to see how these use is bubbling so we don't have fire getting to use we don't have something inside okay Andy this is your fermentation process as you can see all the form all the boo-boos look that part so it's not rough fermentation see the GAVI juices goes into here and then there's natural yeast natural yeast from the area Soho East and all this heat is just dangerous it's not well because while bees sealing the sugar prayed the combustion you can feel the heat and we touch the bath downstairs and you feel that Israel about maybe 35 to 38 degree soldier something that we don't control so that's how all tequila's has an unique flavor jump well you know that's just me and these egos is going to take three to four days after fermentation when the use is fermented is very easy to know because we don't see more phone number bubbles and the smells is different it smells like like apple cider like like the another and I have six portion of the volume and the smells like the kick agave but the smells now D alcohol and here if you go too deep there is no oxygen it's only two co2 um booth it's a nice you definitely smelled alcohol sweet boy what percent about holiday right now when you know ago is use the beginning of the fermentation maybe not in yet this just maybe one or two percent acaba up for the three days or four is gonna be one six for saying like like beer okay yep so it's about six percent when they start distilling it yep fermentation give us at least 80 percent of the profile process gave us the smell flavor and I don't my later I will tell you difference between the smell and the aroma but remember we need to use all senses to enjoy tequila so you're saying is a fermenting process is probably one of the most important things for the taste of it jelly yep because our different ways of fermented and are some places they use cover but and then chemical yeast DNA fermentation and that's how they're tequila tastes different there's going to sit distillation alright then what is fermented is brought here for stealing for desolation exactly desolation is a very simple chemical process we are going to split the alcohol from the water we hit the coil that is inside the party steel alcohol vapors goes into the condenser we had covalent change to liquid all the tequila's are these two at least twice okay so from 3500 from 6 to 25 percent alcohol bottom and after the second distillation from the 25 hundred liters we obtain maximum 1,300 liters of white tequila the purity is not in the color the pretty came for your process after you swallow the tequila usually for at least 5 seconds so 2 ingredient is written as all the exercise of bread into your mouth except for you note and return a so that's how you're going to your way for at least 5 seconds mmm now is one of the toasting ways how to drink tequila with the salt on the line other people's they don't like Blanco in a specific because they don't want to fill the Buddha sensations that's right we welcome to H Blanco tequila to make red Pasado's I Nico's electron Yahoo tequila we're going to see the warehouse or we H all tequila's wow there's a lot of barrels we use American way doc we toast the barrel from inside don't get confused if the tequila has a very dark amber color wasn't the better for a long time you should look for the world Reposado the war Reposado means it was Blanco tequila and they keeping the bed for least months is the minimum permitted by the rule if you see each video it has the seal has a day when they filled that Barrow with the tequila Blanco Reposado two months and you know one year actually go all these three years in the barrel and there is no limit you can eat for four year for five four six four seven four eight we used more than three thousand barrels with capacity for 200 liter okay Andy add for the aging process the killer episode when you collect on a hoe is ready to drink are you ready for the tasting yeah okay let's go for tasting room indeed welcome to the tasting room is time to enjoy the tequila signally to enjoy I can feel that something like cinnamon when you do these visual novel exercises is amazing how you enjoy doors are a little to me a little astringent yeah I can really get what you're saying about savoring that and I've seen the entire process and what goes into it like it's it's definitely a drink you can savor and enjoy not something like like most people just need to take a shower with lime and salt and you don't even taste it so I wish you can help
