Custom Gin?

Postby Sttifyd35 » Thu Sep 08, 2016 5:00 pm

Not sure if this is the right section, but i was wondering if anyone has tried making custom gins? I want to try adding pineapple to the boiler along with the juniper berries and coriander.

Here's a seive I bought from Sainsbury's it will fit nicely inside the Airstill one the handle has been removed.

With all the love in the world mate, this is tapped with a smile on my face :)
You have been a Mashy/Mashey, a Gloria (briefly), and lately a Mash.
Could you become a lunk?
'Cos that one has me grinning ear to ear ;D
It's a good job that I'm not planning on going to heaven!

Smashing it's always good to make someone grin. I forgot that was the thread that got a bit silly :)

Lunk? As in dedicated to the cause ???

That was a totally bonkers time on here for sure :)

Nah, I see a Lunk as a supporter of the Luddite movement.
Progress is all well and good.
But there is nothing wrong with a bit of old school....
And loom wreaking, and writing only with a Goose quill ;D

If you Google "Lunk" it seems to refer to over dedicated bodybuilders. Which some gyms seem to discourage.

The temptation to use the word "jims" was present but I fought it off.

However 'Lunk' could be a good name for a gin.

Better go and do some spreadsheets my brain needs something to do 8)

Now it all depends where you look Mash...this from

"the free dictionary. Slang
1. A tall, brawny man, especially a sexually attractive one.
2. A stupid man; a lunkheaded man."


So which is it mate... ;)
I tried to be normal once, worst two minutes of my life.

Maybe we could just start referring to spammers as lunks, fewer letters, earns it a point from me.
Who says that I am too old to contribute to the urban Dictionary... :)
