Re: Multi shot gin

Thanks for sharing, probably that's a good way to make better spirits and for sure I'll do it.

I've got a silly question I think.. what about cuts when distilling isolates? Do you think it's necessary to do them or simply collect all the distillate until 40-50% ABV(obviously except first ml).

Re: Multi shot gin

Thanks ginfitz!
In your experience what do you think it's the best way to blend? Maybe adding one by one to base gin or preparing/tasting different options and then adjusting amount and type of botanical?

I've already started to prepare my isolates, sharing results here when done!

PET for storage gin at 43%ABV

Hi! I don't want to start a war but.. what do you think about blending gin at 43% ABV(86 Proof) and storing it for 2 weeks in PET containers? I've read different posts here and most of them are subjective when defining if it's safe or not. Can the flavor change? Is it really dangerous? Ethanol at 96...

Re: Macerating or Vapour Infusing

So you think that there is no "better or worst" method for any botanical, it just changes the intensity.
I guess I'll keep trying different options to get the best product.

Macerating or Vapour Infusing

Hi Guys, my idea is to create this space where we can discuss and share experiences with our botanical's flavor extraction. In your experience, which botanicals are better to macerate and which one are better to vapour infusing? On my last run I used Juniper, Coriander, Fresh lemon peel, Liquorice, ...

Re: Water for diluting/proofing

Hi everyone!

I'm just starting to craft gin. I diluted it with bottled water without any issue.
Is the use of distilled water only to avoid cloudiness? I think a good quality mineral water can be better for the final product.
