Not sure if the flower will carry over into distillate. You may need to just infuse the flower in the finished gin instead.

Yup. Just run 1 bottle full in AS and see what you think.

IMHO don't think it will fly, but I have never tried it. Flavours that come out of bots can really surprise - good and bad. Try it. I don't recall anyone else on here has.

Not sure what you are asking.
The smell of Camomile really does make me want to vomit.
Some folk love it and grow lawns of the stuff.
So it smells nice, when they walk on it.
It takes all sorts to make a world.....

In my (limited) experience, it’ll be more like 5 weeks

That's optimistic if you have no heat.

Ok it's started but i cut back on volume instead of doing 100 litres I've gone for 65 litres of water and 325g of lentils with 150g of yeast , starting gravity is 1.050 it's in the shed outside with a sleeping bag around it i expect it to ferment out in about 2 weeks before it's in the shed with no heating in it.

I constantly marvel, at both the display of knowledge and an ability to produce beautiful looking equipment, that is displayed in so many of Myles' postings.

For myself, a wizened octogenarian, smaller is, by necessity, beautiful. I don't think I could actually lift 6 gallons more than six inches off the ground. For such transfers I use a pump now.

I find reflux distilling tantalisingly fascinating, whilst totally without any experience in the process. Reading comments from those who know their subject is very illuminating, whilst often baffling.

Bigger ferments tend to be Less temperamental than smaller ones.

Note over 100 L. You will need to change the shape of your Fermenter - flatter is better than taller.
