Re-distilling Jägermeister to see what happens (Ralfy review link in description) 

As an Australian, and therefore a drunkard, by way of geographic association, I wholeheartedly endorse your vitally important research. Keep up the outstanding work mate.

Imagine having a bar stocked full of these weird versions of the base liqour. The cocktail combinations are out of this world

I think the word "jagermeisterish" might be the most impressive thing I've ever seen RU-vid auto-generated subtitles pick up.

In the early 80's, when I was about 12 years old, my grandmother moved into a nursing home and had about 40 gallons of various home made wines that were no longer fit for drinking. We (my parents and me a quick learner) ran the wine through a water distiller similar to what you use. We would add about a half gallon of water to a gallon of wine in the distiller. The alcohol floats to the top and evaporates first, after trial and error, we figured out approximately how much "mostly" alcohol we would get from a gallon of wine and half gallon of water. To test, we would take a tablespoon of the distilled liquid coming out of the distiller, if it lit on fire, we knew we were getting "mostly" alcohol, if the liquid would no longer ignite, we knew we were only getting mostly water. At this point we would stop the distiller and discard what was remaining. There was always some water left in the spoon after we lit it and the alcohol burned off, so it was not 100% alcohol, but still very high. There really wasn't much of a flavor left in the finished product, one could not tell what kind of wine had been run through the distiller.

At first I was disappointed Clive didn't take anything apart. Then I realized I actually just watched him take apart Jäger. All is well. 😊

You're onto something Clive. More of these videos please!

OMG Ralfy's reaction to the reconstituted Jaeger is priceless! I'm pretty sure he is going to burn the glass he poured it into.

Big Clive has provided us with a cup filled with a liquid that is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike Jägermeister.

Oh no, he's at it again! You're doing important research there BigClive :-)

Milking those thumbnails :-D

Nice video. :) However, please refrain from using a plastic funnel for high ABV sprits. It WILL dissolve some of it and leach into your spirits. Glass, copper, or stainless steel are the appropriate materials for distilling equipment. A stainless steel funnel only costs a few $ and lasts forever.

My best friend Brian and I were both young teens when we had our first taste of this "tonic." His Grandmother Victoria was full blown German and served Jäggermeister as a 'digestif' after meals, tiny little ornate crystal glasses. And straight from the freezer. It was MEDICINE...

Surely since that Co-Op Vodka is in a 70cl bottle it should be Metric Vodka and not Imperial Vodka

So... You've managed to take one adult beverage and distill it into two different off brand spins on itself. Neat-o

re-disills jager: ends up making it sugar free XD

By an accident of fate, I watched the first half of this video, but stopped before you tasted the reconstituted stuff. Later, I ended up watching Ralfy's review of both bottles. The difference in the reactions to that second bottle just proves that fate has a sense of humor.

"Are you seriously re-distilling Jägermeister by yourself ?" "NO I'M WITH THE SCIENCE TEAM ! "

BigClives new feature "Will it still?" That is until Clive descends into more weird and terrible alcohol choices. If there's something that'll ruin it, it'll be Baileys Cherry Chocolate liqueur

I love the fact that you pointed out the clickbait thumbnail you made as you made it. You are amazing Clive

4:05 " make sure the glass is fully empty." Yes, Clive !

The self-aware thumbnail joke gets me every time!

He's so honest about the thumbnail pics and what gets views. And the sense of humor never leaves him through it all. Next he's gonna be wiring through the distillery while using it to clear out the sugar with many lights. H2-OH JESUS THE DISTILLER IS ON FIRE. Lovely sport of a man. Makes my day brighter to watch all his vids.

I like the face. I did the same thing for my last thumbnail lol

You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn’t stop to think if you should...

I wonder what Tom Scott's AI title generator would come up with based on Big Clive's videos?

You go from random electronics to an alcahol science youtuber, love it

Honestly, I'm enjoying watching your experiments, then hopping over to Ralfy to see what he thinks about it [all while remarking about how you're taking the piss outta him XD]. Thank you so much for sharing!

I've been a channel watcher for a while, have always like your fun and interesting videos!

LOL Ralfy's face when he tried the second bottle, laughed my ass off.

I really really want to see the horror that would be distilling Bailey's Irish cream

Hi Clive. Greetings from Gibraltar 🇬🇮. I love watching your videos so much. You don’t take yourself too seriously but your enthusiasm is very addictive. Awesome 😎👏👏👏

I love your sounds, Clive!

If you really want to annoy Ralfy, start a third channel doing trashy drink reviews and see how long it takes until you get more subs than him

Mummy, Mummy... Look what I made ... Vagemeister lol !

Instantly liked and subscribed not for the bottle review but just the quality of the review itself👍👍👍 thumbs up.

Another excellent experiment we never knew we needed. Good job!

/careful sip/ "It'll take some getting used to." /2 seconds pass/ /swig/ It's not bad!"

I'm sure Ralfy can't wait to test it too

I was too busy gaping in awe at the sheer immensity and grandeur of that beard. Good lord, Clive. Teach me.

I started watching BigClive for disassembling electronics. Now i watch him dissassemble liquor! Me Gusta!

Clive has a knack for finding things that I never knew I was interested in finding out about until I see his videos. Genius.

This is truly the cutting edge of science and human exploration. Your research is visionary Clive

This man already peaked my interest in the first 20 seconds. Easiest sub in a while.

I don't drink and I don't know who this is but I watched the whole thing and want more.

A man re-distilled Jagermeister; this is how he went back in time.

It would be interesting to take this a step further and start with a short path distillation set up. pulling off the sugar, color and flavor into separate vessels. And finally the spirits. I'm just intrigued with short path distillation.

Now this is the type of quality youtube content that im talking about.

go for another bottle and use the Jäger syrup to make some 30 second microwave toffee....

"Jägermeister, Leberkleister" - as we use to say in good ol' germany :D

This would be a good way to prank a friend who knows their sprits. “It tastes like Jager but.....”.

Thank you, you've helped me make up my mind about purchasing an air still.

MOAR distillation videos. Also put the clear liquid in the soda stream

Good work with the thumbnail clive - i clicked straight away, liked and subscribed for the first time (been watching for years)

Well that was quite the experiment! I'm impressed!! Thanks for sharing and may have to conduct something similar! U rock Clive!

this would make a great new series! Good Job Clive:D

When it comes to distillates, bigclivedotcom is my go-to channel. Next: vacuum sous-viding with Thunderf00t

"It'll take a bit of getting used to"....as he slugs the rest of it down

Watched you dissect the smart meter with interest, as the one we have has developed lying tendencies. Now watching your whiskey / still experiments. Awesome

It's good that you're keeping the ancient art of Alchemy alive.

i'm beginning to think that you could clone any alcohol-containing drink like this

3:21 When you're that guy who cleans the spittoon in the Saloon.

The algorithm brought me here, I'm happy with this recommendation.

I was waiting for it, more mad experiments from my favourite electrician.

So ginger beer must be next.

That's a great result. I think everyone should see it.

LOL.. you have a very dry kind of humor. I LIKE!! (your vids were suggested to me by YT).. Keep up the work!

I literally laughed out loud at the 'soy face' remark. That was awesome!

Gin next? Or a liqueur? Maybe.... banana liqueur? 🤔😬 (The way your face relaxed after the thumbnail was marvelous. 😁)

I actually loled at the "shake it like a polaroid picture"

This is the first time I saw your face. Hopefully I can continue watching your videos. I still love them.

Didn't expect much. To my surprise this is neither stupid nor useless. Thanks for sharing these great results.

you've made jäger digestif and now I have to too.

Keep these style of videos coming lol... Brilliant.. From the other side of the pond..

I love watching your videos 📹 thank you for taking the time to make them

Why is this guy one of my favorite people to watch on YT?!?!

so without the sugar... would this be DIET JÄGERMEISTER?

You have piqued my interest enough I might actually try this, thanks!! 🤠👍

Your right Clive.That does look a pretty damn good result. Right,Im now off to see what brother Ralfy thinks about you efforts,Clive!

Near where I live is a homeless man who sits on a bench often clutching spirits and gurning at everyone who walks past whilst making various grunting noises. I see you employed him for your thumbnail. A very charitable act I must say.

that $5 hat is going to make you a ton of views

Long time Ralfy subscriber. New Clive subscriber - very interesting experiments!

Never knew i wanted to see this done. But within the first minute I needed to see it done.

You nailed the soy face it caught my attention immediately 👍

The potstill will not remove all flavours, even some sugar would be carried over, but mostly the strong flavours are carried over together with the alcohol. That's the beauty of a potstill.

I loved Ralphy's reaction to the tasting test.

And he hearts comments as readily as his "little brother" does. having a 'celebrity' read and respond to a thing i did invariably makes my day.

I kind of expected a good result because the alcohol gets added after afaik.

Clive Cheeto’s and Jaegermeister would be interesting to see your expression after trying that combination together

i love your videos man! keep up the good work!

OMG! Clive, sticking your finger into that syrup just reminded me of a mistake at the age of 5, thinking the goopy brown liquid in the bottom of the kitchen garbage bin was pepsi or coke... You're just a big kid and I love it!

Watching you say "throw a soy face on" and then do it makes me cry laughing.

It makes me chuckle how you and Ralphy look so alike, it’s as tho it’s one person doing the two channels..haha

I love how this guy gets straight to the point

Big Clive does chemistry, loving it!

I was expecting you to spit it out covering the camera then a high pitch tone with the classic 'Technical Issues' sign displayed thereafter.

These alchemy videos are gold

When Mr. Clive is having fun, he's having fun!

Donnerknispel! Der gute Magenbitter! But very intriguing approach to get some fun back into being an alcoholic ! Also the awesome AVE hammer on your shelf made me subscribe! :)

Buckfast next lol love it

One suggestion, if I may, is that the most efficient way of mixing solutions is by inverting the bottle upside down as it is the air bubble that mixes the solution. Shaking it sideways is counterproductive as it doesn't lead to the liquid moving a lot.
