[narrator] after stripping off the grappa mash, each distiller's bucket of raw alcohol is judged by proof gallons. To calculate, the judges weigh each bucket and measure the alcohol content with a hydrometer. The weight times the alcohol by volume is multiplied by 2 then divided by 100. Having more proof gallons in the next run will help split cleaner cuts of heads, hearts and tails and blend the perfect jar of grappa. [mark] this is brian's

[narrator] after stripping off
the grappa mash,
00:00:03.669 --> 00:00:08.105
each distiller's bucket of
raw alcohol is judged
by proof gallons.
00:00:08.107 --> 00:00:09.073
To calculate,
00:00:09.999 --> 00:00:11.175
the judges weigh each bucket
00:00:11.177 --> 00:00:14.378
and measure the alcohol
content with a hydrometer.
00:00:14.038 --> 00:00:16.947
The weight times
the alcohol by volume
00:00:16.949 --> 00:00:20.584
is multiplied by 2
then divided by 100.
00:00:20.586 --> 00:00:23.521
Having more proof gallons
in the next run
00:00:23.523 --> 00:00:25.079
will help split
cleaner cuts of heads,
00:00:25.792 --> 00:00:27.725
hearts and tails
00:00:27.727 --> 00:00:30.594
and blend the perfect
jar of grappa.
00:00:31.831 --> 00:00:33.597
