Per Jessen:

'''2024/07/21''' distilling the redwine I made from the grapes last year. It was completely undrinkable. There is about 5-10litres left in a 30litre vat. Yield was 2 litres at 55%. 
'''2024/07/28''' have discovered a 100litre vat with the remainder of the "redwine". With fruit and stalks, it looks like 50litres. Have dug out the remainder of B2, looks like 25litres. It is now being distilled, with 10litres of water added. It had a pretty foul, almost sour, smell, very unpleasant. I obviously should not have left it for so long.
The distillation did not go too well - temperature in pot1 rose to 95C, followed by pot2 to about the same - with virtually no output, only a few drops. I stopped it - my guess is that
whatever ethanol may have been left in the mash, simply evaporated, the vat was essentially open.

Per Jessen: /* 2006-2023 */

[[File:dansk-julemaerke.jpeg|200px||right|Dansk julemærke]]''[in Danish only]'' Jeg begyndte i 2006 at skrive et par sider med julenyheder og sende disse til familie og venner istedetfor julekort. Julekort har vi sendt i mange år til vores familie og venner der spredt rundt omkring i verden og de sidste mange år har jeg fået et "julekort" fra mine gode venner igennem mange år Kevin og Maria Jenkinson i Erding i Tyskland.

Kevins julekort har netop altid været et par sider med billeder og historier fra året der gik. Jeg gik efterhånden og var blevet lidt træt af at skrive julekort med den samme smøre om dit og om dat, og bestemte mig så i 2006 til istedet at forsøge mig med et par sider med julenyheder.

'''December 2007.'''

Nu er det så andet år jeg skriver lidt julenyheder, og da jeg også havde tænkt mig at inkludere gamle og nye venner og bekendte som vi ellers ikke netop "er på julekort med", tænkte jeg det ville være en god ide

* at sende julenyhederne per email med et PDF vedhæng, og
* at sætte dem op her så jeg blot kan sende et link istedetfor hele PDF'en.

'''Januar 2012.'''

Det blev egentligt ikke til så meget med at sende julenyhederne ud med email, men PDF filerne kan stadig findes her.

Jeg har flyttet lidt om på indholdet på min webside, og blandt andet flyttet julenyhederne herover i wiki'en. Samtidig har jeg også fået opdateret
listen og taget de sidste 2-3 års nyheder med.

<h2>Grape harvest - vat C3</h2>
'''2023/09/03''' Grape harvest started. 
'''2023/09/07''' Grape harvest finished

I think I picked four crates, maybe 20kilo each. Heavy enough to need Aksel to help carry. The first three went straight into the press, branches and all.
Decent amount of juice. The last one I picked the grapes off the clusters. The juice and the leftovers all went into vat C3 - according to a wine blog, leaving the skins
in will help produce a darker colour.
The first batch measured 58° Oechsle, so I added 1.5kilo sugar. I also added 1 kilo at the end.

'''2023/09/14''' I moved the juice/wine into two 30litre VATs, approximately 2x20litres. The leftovers continued to bubble, and I added 8litres of water and 4.5kilo of sugar. 
'''2023/09/16''' I added 12litres of water and 4kilo of sugar.

Per Jessen:

I started distilling on 16 July. Starting with the big 150litre VAT, B1. I was a bit lax with making records last year, but I think B1 and B2 are Schneider.

'''2023/07/19''' Finished B1, added a bit of B2. Yield approx 2litre at 65%. Plus 4-5 litres of lower-volume stuff. 
'''2023/07/23''' Finished B2, apart from maybe 10litres. Yield approx 2litre at 65%. Plus 4-5 litres of lower-volume stuff.

I simply don't know what the rest is - I have two half-full 100litre vats, Cx. Presumably Golden Delicious and Boskoop, but because of my poor record-keeping,
I don't know what is what.
I also a lot of undrunk cidre, plus 25litre of apple-"wine" and some apple juice in the wooden barrel.

'''2022/08/11''' I went out to have a look at the trees at both Freitag and Bentzelheim.
* Freitag
** moschtbire, maybe 4-5-6 trees
** golden delicious, really just one tree,
** zwetschgen, one tree, but no fruit.

* Bentzelheim
** berner rose, one tree, already a lot on the ground
** belle de boskoop, two and a half trees, already a lot on the ground
** schneider, maybe two trees

'''2022/09/05''' Harvest started. 2 crates of Boskoop, approx 50kg. 
'''2022/09/08''' 2 more crates of Boskoop, approx 50kg. 
'''2022/09/09''' Pressed all four, approx 40litres, gave Nicole 3 bottles. The trester went into vat Cx, plus 16 litres of water. 
'''2022/09/12''' 1.5 crates of Boskoop, approx 40kg, plus 2 crates of golden delicious, approx 50kg. 
'''2022/10/10''' Picked 2 crates of Schneider. 
'''2022/10/12''' Picked 2 crates of Schneider. 
'''2022/10/13''' Shredded approx 100kg of Schneider, vat B2. 
'''2022/10/17''' vat B2 bubbling happily. 
'''2022/10/18''' I think there is still a couple of crates of Schneider left, but that is all.

Per Jessen: /* Gin botanicals */

===August 2021===
Being about halfway through distilling the 2020 mashes, the 25 litre glass bottles are filling up. Two full, a third going. Originally I wanted to keep the output from the same fruit separate, and then make a second run, but I screwed it up and accidentally mixed the outputs. I had hoped to have "clean" schnaps from Schneider, Golden, Boskoop etc.

Well, I don't. Not this time anyway. So instead I'll be making gin. I have studied the topic a little, watched some videos etc.
There are two-three ways of adding flavour -

vapour infusion / gin basket.

macerated botanicals

combined, macerate the 'hard', infuse with the soft (fruit, peels etc).

I have also seen someone mention that keeping the macerated mix at 70C over night made for more intense flavours.

====Odin's Easy Gin====
One recipe I came across on my internet ravels - "Odin's Easy Gin":

Per 1000ml of 45% ethanol:
14g juniper, 3g coriander, peel of one tangerine orange.

Macerate/soak for two weeks, filter out solids, then distill. (with immersion heater) 
Macerate/soak for 24 hours, then distill. (indirect heating).

'''New still''' I want to build a new, but smaller still for working on flavours. If I make ten 1000ml mixes, it has to be easy to process them.
I think a 3litre pot will be a good option - 1000ml of mash, 1000ml water. I have two straight Liebig coolers, the 29/32 ought to work. Adding a gin basket might not be so easy though - unless I use one of the pasta cookers I have. Might be something to experiment with.

I guess I'll need to use 12mm copper tubing, otherwise I have difficulty getting the fittings. 
'''2021/08/20''' Went to Bauhaus in Schlieren and did find some 10mm fittings, but no tubing. 
'''2021/09/07''' Have drilled/filed the 16mm hole in the pot lid, can now attach the copper tube. 

'''Clean ethanol for making gin''' I currently have 2-3 x 25 litres of low-grade ethanol at 30% and 35%, respectively. I also have two 5 litre bottles of methylalcohol, that has been slowly evaporating over the years.
For producing a clean higher volume ethanol, I intend to take 12 litres of the ethanol, add some of the methylalcohol and maybe 10 litres of water. Total volume about 25 litres, should make
decent material for three-four runs. Maybe wait to finish the 2021 distillations, there are five 100 litre vats still to go. 5 x 3 x 1.5 = 22.5 litres. In principle, the methanol should come right back out, but when I did the first gin run, I did not get as much out as I put in.

'''2022/09/27''' I have distilled a lot of the low-grade stuff, I think I have about 15litres at 80%.

==Gin botanicals==
Apart from the botanical recipe, there are a few more variables to consider:

* maceration time, 1-2-3-4-5 days.
* maceration in heated ethanol (60-70C) ?
* macerate the 'hard' ingredients, infuse the 'soft' ditto?

I think I will only do the distillation with the botanicals in, i.e. not remove beforehand.

Possible botanicals: aniseed (got some), banana (dried?), taragon (dried?), birnel?

The still I am building is a pot still, without thumper. To repeat the process on a larger scale, I would need to bypass/disable the thumper.
I guess a copper tube direct from the boiler to the condenser? Need 10mm tubing.

Per Jessen: /* 2nd distillations */

I have slowly begun distillations, late as usual.
===30 litre vat with grapes===
'''20220703''' Yield just around 30%, maybe 1000ml. I guess my grapes do not have very high sugar content. 

===Vat C5, Berner Rose===
'''20220709''' It splattered a lot, clogging up the steam pipe, twice. I really need that splatter guard. Yield about 1000ml at 64%. Pleasant nose.
===Vat C4, Belle de Boskoop===
'''20220712''' Have started distilling ~30litres - very little methylalcohol. Yield 1000ml, plus 1000ml 20% for the collection.
 '''20220713''' 2nd portion, ~30litres - very little methylalcohol. Yield 600ml, plus 1000ml 20% for the collection.

===Vat C1, trester, Belle de Boskoop===
'''2022/08/16''' Started on the trester. It was quite dry and hard, so I started with maybe 30kg, then added 5litres of water. 
'''2022/08/17''' Another 30kg, plus 5litres of water. 

Good yield, towards 90%.

'''2022/08/21''' Another 30kg, plus 5litres of water. Good yield, 90%. 

===Vat C9, Belle de Boskoop===

===Vat B1, Belle de Boskoop===
I finished this one before we went on vacation, the one noteworthy thing is that my vapour pipe got clogged up a few times, by splatter.
Very annoying, although easy to clean later. I have some plans for a splash guard.

===Vat B2, Belle de Boskoop===
'''2022/08/10''' Finished today. It produced some high percentages, 80-90% ethanol. I kept the Bartscher at 4, which seems to have meant less of that sticky leakage from the pot, and no splattering either. I will continue with C9, but do C1 separately.

=== 2nd distillations ===
'''2022/09/03''' Started with one of the 25litre balloons, added 2litres of old heads, and 4-5litres of water. The alcohol percentage should be about 30%, but I didn't bother measuring it again. At 0845, I fired it up on 10. At approx 30%, in principle it ought to produce 8litres of pure ethanol, which will likely be maybe 5 litres at 90%, with 5 litres dropping back down towards 30%.
Result = 5litres @ 80%, after that it went grey/oily and down to 40%. 
'''2022/09/05''' I checked the remains with the densitymeter - 0%. Water.
