I just got back in the house after first ever run thruugh new pot still fiiied bought 11gal. diferent stuff run to 50 per got a little over 2 gl. still did great was very pleased.started at around 70 per. want to do two more then put into valved far nuetral spirit am I starting right or just spinnig...

guy that ask me to make some had a bottle tonight 29per abv would I cut it then soak or just soak then cut.he said ha thouhgt it was infused I dont know just want to make him some if I can.I had strong lemon taste and smell and was very sweet.

I was wanting to know if anyone made this. I think it is infused with lemon peel.Can I do this with valved and put peels in gin pot and add sugar when its throug distilling or would it be better to just soak it on peels and sugar?

I was using cork but broke it the other day so I been using flour paste got get more cork tommorrow paste works well but very hard to clean up well.
