Hey Jesse, I'm sure you've thought about this but it may be that the reason it seems off towards the end is because of the increasing temperature causing a reaction between the oils in the peanuts and the ethanol. I would be curious to see the same test done with a vacuum distillation set up rather than a boiler (if you have access to such a thing). I love your content in general and the meme spirits specifically because you try and learn something new every time.

You could always use a neutral vodka to distill a flavor bomb that you can then add to other spirits as a blend when you go to age them. Just take the first half the flavor bomb run, no worries about āwastingā half that base neutral spirit as you didnāt have any time/energy in it. But the flavor bomb could add that essence into a project as a blend for aging.

This looks like a great way to make peanut essence without needing to worry about the oil content (assuming you're happy to lose more than half your starting spirit...). I'd use this in brewing, for sure, blend with a porter or brown ale to get some good peanut flavours in there without needing to worry about the oils mucking up head retention or making your finished beer "slick". Probablky get a lot more control of the overall flavour than just making up a tincture as well.

Ok now that Iāve watched the whole video. I wonder if the fermentation process would clean up that nasty off peanut flavor. I often find that the yeast will chew up off flavors and replace with their own character. Or even a lacto fermented/pickling of the peanuts may keep the overall flavor but again clean it up to be used in a mash.

For the extra peanuts:
Peanut Brittle
Per batch:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup white corn syrup
1/4 cup water
1 cup peanuts (raw spanish peanuts are best, but dry roasted can work if they aren't too salty)
1 tsp. baking soda
(I normally make about 4 batches at a time, which makes about 3 large cookie sheets worth)
Combine sugar, syrup, and water in a large pot and bring to a boil while stirring
Heat until 280Ā°F, then add peanuts
Continue heating to 305Ā°F, then remove from heat and add baking soda while stirring rapidly.
Pour out on cookie sheets (silicon sheets are best, but parchment paper is also good)
Spread out with a spoon while hot.

Interesting! I wonder what would happen if you used a peanut flour instead, like PB2 - those have most of the oils already removed
