If the pie is 20% or higher, it's still good after a year at room temperature. Still effective on underwear, too. 10% can ferment again if it gets some wild yeast in it.Tatt2d wrote:trthskr4 wrote:I had a half gallon of panty dropper do the same thing.

So...your recommending me and the wife drink it up in a quick manner ?!?!

Re: "Apple Pie"
+1 heartcut. I try to keep all mine between the 20% and 30% mark. To avoid nasties from taking over. I have some panty dropper and Apple pie that is 4 or 5 months old. And its actually getting better with age. I've heard it can go bad. But I'm not seeing it yet.

I make mine about 80 proof also. But it is 'soooooo' smooth. Out at the campgrounds, we usually initiate a couple ppl a year, by not warning them of the proof b4 starting to drink around the campfire. They know better, after waking up in a tree the first time

A question on Wineo's recipe. Is this supposed to be made in several jars? Or is each quart jar supposed to have 1/4 cup of raisins, 1/4 cup brown sugar? Seems like with all the raisins, sugar and apples there will be very little room for any shine.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Re: "Apple Pie"
i have been playing around with different mixtures of mashes stripped and then spirit run together for a combination of flavors. for the most current mix i used a molasses and brown sugar strip around a half gallon minus the foreshots and tails after 40% (tails jar ) and the same with a run of corn. i then ran that gallon on a smaller still (dont worry it was diluted) and procured a delicious mix...it seemed all the heads and into the first bit of the hearts was a molasses flavor only and then mid hearts to beginning of tails was mainly a corn flair with a sweet tinge. the tails were well tails and more or less cardboard bland. but the heart cut mixed with the end of the heads produced an amazing flavor that was turned into some of the best apple pie i personally have tried or made to date. The recipe i used this time was:
Simmer half gallon of Simply Apple with 1/2 TSP of Apple Pie Spice, 4 cinnamon sticks, 1/4 TSP All Spice and 1/4 cup white sugar (let the molasses taste carry through from distillate) for 30 minutes at around 140 degrees F. I then let it cool slightly and filtered the mixture through folded up cheese cloth. This is not to remove all the spice just enough to make the sediment in the jars less. I added ~1/2 gallon 80% abv of above mention heart cuts and then jared up in 4 quarts with 3 red delicious slices (skin on seeds removed) and a stick of the previously removed cinnamon. Let sit for a week and then remove the cinnamon stick if being kept long term.
Just thought I'd share my recipe and contribute that in my case the molasses flavors really came through in the final product with the use of less sugary apple mixture... im assuming ~40% final abv but Im a big guy so i like my drinks strong

Distilling is like Fly Fishing. Sometimes you get pissed and get ready to break your s**t, till you remember how much its worth.
Re: "Apple Pie"
My recipe is slightly different but those ingredients sound like the total amount. I put mine in a large 4 gallon ball jar during the infusion stage and bottle later in 1.75L (64 oz) bottles.big cheese wrote:wineo wrote:Heres my basic apple pie recipe.

Re: "Apple Pie"
Is there any flavor difference between using neutral or using a sugar/corn shine recipe? I'm doing a spirit run on some birdwatcher's right now, and really wanna try this. Can't believe I've been in this hobby for a year now and it never occurred to me to make this..

Re: "Apple Pie"
Its not one of the biggest worries because the mellowing pretty much eliminates the alcohol flavors at a higher proof after dilution...i have a gallon of the apple pie that after 3 weeks, some racking for filtering purposes(i hate pulp) is so mellow at 40% even the girls who tried it a week aged and tasted the alc. and burn can put it down now no problem...the sweetness really takes over and mellows the alc. out. Only warning i can give you is do not freeze in with apple slices in it unless you like a pulpy mess...1 apples cut into 8ths in each 1/2 gal mason jar covered the bottom 3in high with pulp after freezing
zouthernborne go with your BW it'll make some good AP shine...on your abv: go strong or go home alone

I've had it sitting in the pantry for 2 weeks now, and used 90 proof Vodka. It basically tastes like Vodka with a tiny hint of apple.
From what I always hear about the apple pie recipe it is extremely smooth and will go fast. I don't see this going any faster than just taking shots.
Has anyone else had success with a recipe like this?
Re: "Apple Pie"
Dnderhead, about how much brown sugar would you start with on your recipe?
Re: "Apple Pie"
thanks for sharing apple pie recipe, its really nice, i do not like apples to eat but i will try it soon
Re: "Apple Pie"
The OP Pintoshine on his first post on this thread was a dead link. to the recipe for Sirius-Speedway apple pie . Im a computer guy I wanted to see the recipe so I tracked it down. I can get data from old deleted or dead links.
Here is a screen shot from that recipe. PS if there are other data that you need from dead links PM me and ill see what I can do to get copy for you.
Its the internet nothing is ever permanently gone.

Re: "Apple Pie"
I know this thread is old as dirt, but I had to bump it. I took dunderhead's recipe and tripled the spices and sugar, bumped the alcohol to 60 proof, and let it sit for a month. It's the best apple pie I've ever had. No burn at all, just pour it on ice.
