Richard Makes Vanilla Rich Bananas Foster Liquor | Moonshiners

we already have the crucial component in our drink we have the spice room with all our flavors in it today we're going to start mashing in our Bananas Foster part of it we're going to mash in some bananas and some sugar cane together and we can get our bananas frosted out of the steel as quick as possible feel like Donkey Kong right hey man I got the sugar cane whoa what the hell I'm just trying to make some good shine boy man that's a lot of bananas man I want to just get the machete and start whacking we got to take the tops off and the bottom off and I mean that's a long process it doesn't take long to peel one banana but think a pill in 300 pounds of bananas some new guys man these guys got money this New Orleans man yeah it's a lot of high rollers out there yeah man you got to be a high roller you're asking somebody to make a banana as far as the Moonshine I got our own tea we have a lot of tried and true recipes that we know make money this is something new to us so the upside for this is if we impress our buyer in New Orleans this can open up a whole new market for us so when we finish with all these what we're going to do next we're gonna borrow them down add the sugar cane to it everything that we've needed to achieve as far as taking out things we don't want in it it'll be done I think this is the end of the line right here man that's a couple of hundred pounds of bananas that's what it feels like now that we have our pot full of bananas we're going to start adding some water light out burner bring it to a boil you know we got to bring to the party now though now we got to chop up some sugar canes oh yeah we're getting a little bit ahead of ourselves thing about cane sugars are they're very very very sugary they have a real high sucrose content to them so we don't need a whole lot of this stuff just enough clean sugar to bring a real true taste through yeah I think it's ready man let's pour in and cool it down now we have a sweet banana with its own sugars and these cane sugars that we provided to it once we pitch our yeast in it they're gonna have a field day this thing is going to blow up all right Craig we're cool enough man ready for the use yeah let's pitch that just what we have right now is a base is awesome we're starting out with a solid foundation you see this vanilla right here it's going to give a nice pleasant flavor just that little bit of vanilla you would think would not be enough to do anything well so you would be sadly mistaken I could take this banana mash right now and just put it straight on top of a bowl of ice cream and you'll think you had one of the most awesome banana desserts ever all right we'll come back in a few days we'll caramelize the nut man look at that thing man you can hug this thing look at that it's nice that's when you got a good match I can see the vapors coming off of there today we're back at the still site and this match is working I mean it's really bubbling it's real hot man that's a thick cap this thing has a huge cap and it's probably six eight inches and you know it's not typical you see a big huge cap like that in the ferment this will probably be ready in a day man look at that vanilla bean vanilla bean why we're letting this work off we'll go ahead and macerate our nuts soak them in our base Spirit that's a real good alcohol if we were just going for that right there we'll be good in a bananas frosted dessert it calls for nuts to be used so we're going to caramelize those today we're going to add them into our spice rum and we're going to let them sit we got acorns my favorite walnuts we're gonna go with almonds mix one of the most serious components of this drink is that the caramelization factor is there and you can taste it and we can dump some brown sugar in here a little bit more look at that I'm gonna give you that whole shot there you go that's good right there when this dessert was made at first in the 1950s in New Orleans it was prepared with brown sugar butter cinnamon banana liqueur Spiced Rum it was flambe tableside by a chef can you taste it in the in the sauce it's ice cream it's ice cream all these things have to be done in proportion and that's what we do we make sure that everything is proportionate so our flavor is balanced and don't kill each other that's what this drink deserves so we're gonna let this simmer a little bit cook down so we'll get a bucket and put that in and we'll start fresh again every step of this drink is amazing we could have stopped a very long time ago with this process and look about done man caramelized and everything this Foundation we know is drilled to bedrock and it will not go nowhere that's what we do when we make alcohol we make sure that our foundation is so solid that it cannot be moved there we go look like a banana sundae good alcohol we went for a real low alcohol content in this banana mash we didn't want to clash with the other room that we had so we didn't use the yeast that produced a real high alcohol by volume all right that's damn near it man that's almost all of it so this thing should be around 12 to 14 which is what we need to get in here that should give us a nice 90 95 hopefully of a real good spirit we're gonna light up we're gonna get some heat under here good deal that's not for looks that's for effective we have the potlit and it's going to take a little while to get the temperature and it's all playing together perfect I think we're on the right track it's hot yeah we're about right here it's good now it's going to take a little while so this is still under pressure a little bit but it's starting to do a second form of distillation here now when this heats up and gets under pressure and builds up enough steam to start carrying over now we got a serious situation on our hands yeah it's down here we go all right there it's almost in the thumper oh yeah we're in the thumper already yeah we should start running here oh yeah I could smell it coming through here man do I need a bucket see I get you a bucket no give me a jar I can start to smell things coming out of the worm now it's getting close the bananas definitely coming out it smells like the Caribbean in here I mean you can even get the hint of the spices coming out of here all right we've got a nice little drip here man we're gonna throw these heads off of here man plenty enough heads don't kill all that poison ivy right there I'm gonna just let her run low and slow like that that's perfect man everything's working it's dripping we have so many different components and one still cooking right now this ain't right it's not right no man something wrong cut that burn off we're sipping on the drinking we're trying to figure out where we're missing we can see that we have the creaminess we realize we don't have the vanilla flavor with this creaminess this is the good stuff Madagascar vanilla beans I didn't put enough into it so we're gonna do this as quick as possible try to hurry up and get this into the thumper and that should change it that should give us what we need as far as a vanilla taste I want all of it in here now that we charge the thumper we have to nail this there's no going back we have to get this right oh yeah she's spitting again oh we're running I thought the last time was the moment of truth but this is a real Moment of Truth foreign [Music] not taste vanilla I told you both that's it that's it it's good too it's what we've been waiting for that's what we wanted that's a relief I mean vanilla is definitely here now now this is a true Bananas Foster now we gotta buy you Buffet going on now we got a true Louisiana delicacy we just did that's the one that's the one it takes that vanilla not tasted and it's not even too strong
