Hello Everyone

Post by tnypellegrino »

Hello everyone. My name is Tony, I am Italian and for a year I have been enjoying home distillation and my friends enjoy it too when they drink it. Like many, I started with Odino's Easy Gin. I always have some problem that puts me to the test 😂. Gin with blue shades, cloudy gin, gin with a soapy taste 😂😂😂

Welcome here Tony, if that recipe is not your thing somewhere here is Saltbush bill's Gin, Stubbie drainers recipe I believe, Im not exactly sure where here it is but it's quite a straight forward recipe. Having drank it a number of times made by salty and others i can say it definitely wasnt blue, cloudy or soapy. The only genuine complaint I'd have is it was way too hard to stop drinking it :lol:

Welcome, nice to see new members joining again. The cloudy results are the oils over time that will settle not sure where the soapy taste comes from.

That would explain why i couldn't find it :lol: ,
Hit him up to post it Tony, my guess if its soapy ya sailed to far into the tails, would explain the clouding too
