Infusion Gin

[PJB]

Hey Guys

Happy new t500....sorry Year...

Ok...so i want to make a gin...infusion only for now...(am sure someone will tell me the way to do it best through my new t500)....Gordons and hendricks have always been my tipple....so something close enough to these is good....any help will be enough....and did i mention....Santa brought me a t500.

nice prezzie PJB.
I would say use your AS for Gin.
If your going to infuse look up
Odins Recipe its either in Recipe
section or the AS section.
I have a T500, great for Vodka and
neutral spirit, but always use As
for gin 2ltr batches.
Make yourself a Sputnik for the As
its fantastic

Started really getting into the double runs with the AS and now I have the new toy....took a few months out of using but always kept a watch on here...and every time im in the pound shop and see the small colander i say to myself "that'll make a good sputnik"...seen a good vid on you tube and other places on how to make a nice Gin....Still Learning Mate...done 2 runs so far on the T500....enjoying it.

You have the perfect Gin setup now. T500 for a good neutral and then a sputnik in the AS.

If you don;t get what you want - back in the T500.


Happy New Gin !

Thanks For the help Guys

And all the best for 2017.

The start of my sputnik....fits perfectly into the top of AS....just need legs now

[PJB]

Now....

Somebody tell me what to put in it....ave got 200grams of juniper berries

[Easydrinker]

You don't need that much juniper.
Corriander seed is a must.
There are recipes on here that people have tried, have fun!

Ave got a couple wrote down to try....especially the one that is close to Gordons...Am gonna mix a few up aswell and see how it tastes...sputnik is ready and ave got a few litres of neutral to play with...

Any suggestions from you kind sir...

Cheers Paul

Only to try a few recommended recipes before adjusting to your own thoughts/tastes.
They may or may not work.
If they don't, simply redistill them to "lose" some of the unwanted flavour.
My own Gins recently have not been good.
When time allows I will try some more.

This is a delicate gin we like..

13 g juniper berries.
8 g coriander seeds
5g Bitter Orange
1g Angelica (large pitch)
0.1g orris root (small pinch)

1 L 40% neutral (to get 75cl to 50%)
1 L water

2 hours - bingo. Standing for a couple of days improves

[PJB]

Cheers Mash

I take it this is all put in the sputnik, do you put it in a bag or just left loose...Bitter orange on order

Cheers Paul

Crush juniper and coriander.
Lob in sputnik and spread it out.

Its a very good method. I use all the time
and am very happy with the results.
