Sailing SV Delos · vídeo

Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of SV Delos, currently anchored in the Bahamas during a COVID-19 lockdown, maintains self-sufficiency by distilling moonshine and managing food supplies. With local liquor stores closed, the crew uses a Turbo 500 reflux still to produce 96% ethanol from a sugar wash, sterilizing the equipment with sodium metabisulfate.16:42 The distillation process involves a closed-loop cooling system that circulates fresh water from the boat’s tanks through the condenser.17:04 To flavor the high-proof spirit, they add Tennessee bourbon essence and American oak chips, diluting the final product to 40% ABV.18:48 The crew also coordinates with nearby vessels, Persephone, Grace, and Avalon, to share fresh provisions and organize social gatherings on the beach while adhering to strict isolation protocols.0:33 Practical lessons include the necessity of maintaining a robust supply of sugar and yeast for independent alcohol production and the effectiveness of using sodium metabisulfate for sterilizing brewing equipment in remote cruising locations.
