How to colour...

Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.

How to colour...

Post by goinbroke2 »

Well I've tried the carmelized sugar approach and found it sweetens the whisky. I just tried putting a tea bag in about 250ml. Let it sit about 15 minutes, little agitation. Slight colour, so left it 30 minutes, looked good and dark almost dark rum colour.


Tasted it :shock: AAAHHHH!!!! horrible tea in alcohol taste! :?

Now what?

What does everyone use to colour their stuff? I like it clear, but it's too obvious when going out or if others see it.

Anyone? :?:
Numerous 57L kegs, some propane, one 220v electric with stilldragon controller. Keggle for all-Grain, two pot still tops for whisky, a 3" reflux with deflag for vodka. Coming up, a 4" perf plate column. Life is short, make whisky and drag race!
