My Gin Pot
After working through sugar heads, bourbons, rums, irish & single malt whiskies, and mescal, I’ve decided to dip my toe into the gin tub. From what I’ve read, you need a gin pot. So I made one today. Here it is going through its initial cleaning run. All sealed up and no leaks.
🎱 The struggle is real and this rabbit hole just got interesting.

Re: My Gin Pot
Nice piece. I built one stainless time these days that can be used in "Bain Marie" mode, mostly done with pieces that I found locally and pieces of scrap, I will make a post in a while.

Re: My Gin Pot
I like the riser support and the windscreen! Looks like my first 2 years before electric.
Re: My Gin Pot
Thanks. Thats a temporary support using paracord. I’m going to make something more heat resistant to use in its place. Probably a piece of pipe hanger strap and the paracord. The windscreen is used all the time since I live near the coast and it stays breezy at my outdoor shelter.

Re: My Gin Pot
Kick Ass 8ball! Is that a handle I see on the boiler?

Re: My Gin Pot
That’s a killer gin/maceration/infusion batch still! Love the dimples and character too!
Great compact size for indoors/hotplate afternoon short run. What’s the boiler capacity!
Cheers,

Re: My Gin Pot
Its 1.5L. 1” riser reduced to 1/2”. I added an extra bottom to it with some 24 gauge copper sheet to beef it up some.jonnys_spirit wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 1:40 pm That’s a killer gin/maceration/infusion batch still! Love the dimples and character too!

Re: My Gin Pot
Well, it works great! Made two trial batches of dry gin and trying out the first homemade G&T! Hands down a very good drink.
