So I found it interesting that in the video they use sulphuric acid as a catalyst. They then heat the material and use reflux to condense it back into a liquid. Apparently Der Wo was on to these tricks already.

Translated: If you use reflux it is also encouraging esters (flavor compounds) to form.

Also: Come back Der Wo!
