Nice one Robert

I think we need to revisit essence/gloop type flavourings as well as proper recipes now we've pretty much got neutrals sorted and agreed on double distill.

Kale as nutrient with bread yeast is currently agreed on as best natural sugar recipe for value.

Alcotec vodka star is pretty much agreed on as best combined yeast and nutrient for quick but clean result

E1118 (or 1116) yeast may be a better yeast than bread, but the extra cost is a debate. Similarly, lentils or standard yeast nutrient have their merits compared to kale.

Honey and vanilla....go well together...wonder how it would work with a light rum???

Honey and vanilla are pretty much my favourite booze flavours. I add a drop of vanilla to everything including vodka and a spoonful of honey to most things except vodka.

For a light rum I'm tempted next time to try a little orange rind and cinnamon and/or ginger as well as honey and vanilla. I'm hoping for something less sickly than Captain Morgan. I might need to leave the honey or glycerin out at the start. Southern comfort is a vanilla and orange flavour also?

I liked the essencia kentucky bourbon flavouring both with and without honey. It's the only one I've tried so far. I fancy the southern haze and have been asked to make a gin for which I was looking at the bombay sapphire type?

Hi all,
Newbie here.
I made some Sth Haze with some oaked spirit.
In my haste I didn't read the directions properly and used 40% spirit and didn't add sugar!!!
I tried it and it was VERY spirited.. who knew!
Tried it with Coke and was great, however, very little resemblence to Sth Comf...
Today, I added sugar to my brew and now it smells a fair bit more like it should.
I will give it a week to steep properly and send some feedback.
Cheers for all the advice on the forum, it is much appreciated.

I thought that 250g sugar sounded a little sickly so I just used 150g
It smells lovely but am going to leave well alone for a week to infuse properly.
My favourite so far is the Tennessee whiskey by ss.
I've got the American bourbon one to try now too as I have 12ltrs of the Tennessee!!!!
Such an addictive hobby!

12Ltrs? WOW, do you live close to the NE?

Hi Corps012588 it makes a nice drop but its over sweet if you use 280ml of sugar as per instructions for my personal taste i only add 150 ml to 2.25 ltr spirit
Cheers
