A learner tool, and a hoped for friend for life.

If you made it as an hot maceration it will need tweaking.

My airstill recipe was:-
Ginny №3
2 litres 40% neutral
18.5 g juniper berries.
10 g coriander seeds
20g Tangerine skin
15g grapefruit skin (potato peeled)
2g cassia
1.2g Angelica
0.12g orris root

Do I just scale this up? For the T500? Say double or triple it?

My first tomato wash is nearly ready, hopefully it's ready for Monday.

I don't want to keep the airstill as well if I can get away with it. I'm drowning in brewing kit :D

So with the column, am I best emptying it and using it like that for the gin run?

was made from carrying flavour thru.
I make a lot of Rum etc in mine.
Screw that basket in. It does its job and makes
a good Gin its just a little small.
But you can make a gallon at a time, that should
quench your thirst.

Unless you only want to use it for Gin.
It will get tainted.

A better bet may be using the old Air still for the gin and the T500 for everything else?
Like producing the neutral for the Gin.
I do something similar, with my reflux still.

I am sure others will come back with other advice.

Robert.

I've had a t500, copper column condenser and a botanical basket for an early birthday present.

All great for stripping but can I make gin without buying the alembic?
