I take the best for the gin.
I don't remove the first 50. IMO you lose too much flavour.
I don't aim for 45% I aim for taste (I know it will be 'in the region of'.
With a litre going in I appreciate there is a little waste, but that can go into my junkohol.

Guessing. I reckon it will be 1l @ 50%. Stopping earlier than a spirit run to keep the flavour cleaner / brighter.

If I wanted to make one single 700ml bottle of of Gin on the Airstill and collect it all in a single flat sided bottle and it’s final ABV to be 45% without any proofing down, what volume of wash and at what percentage should a charge the still with, assuming I might bin the first 50ml to remove any juniper oils.

On that mash when do you stop collecting i do mine at 700ml then water down too 42% .



Its about that. I have to confess this happened by accident the first time but its repeatable and works a treat. Much further and the flavour coming out is undesirable. Quite artisan - done by taste not numbers.

Do tell, I heard using a 20% starting charge makes bottle at drinking strength :)

Does make for very easy cuts if you have a few ::)

Serendipitous in a way because it is fast becoming a one bottle gin machine 8)

It's the flatness that allows the neck to get close to the output.

Well it was hiding right under our nose!

The flat green gin bottle. Fits a treat.
