My biggest problem with Ungava is trying not to think of old Tarzan movies when I hear the name.

I know my memory is bad, but I don't remember any movies with both tarzan and snow in them.

edit : before one of you says it, I know!

Elsa from Frozen's parents died in the jungle on their way to Rapunzel's wedding so their child, Tarzan, grew up in the jungle. (another internet crazy made that up, not this one.)

Just thought that I would resurrect this topic!

Had 1 Lt of 40% neutral spare so dug out my essential oils;
12 drops Juniper
3 drops Coriander
1 drop Bitter Orange
1 drop Cardamon

After several good shakes smells good and a very little oil floating!
Will leave for a couple of days and try a little taste or two.

I’ve certainly made a very good fake Ricard by using the star anise essential oil

After a couple of days used aquarium air pump, might give the fish a little taster as thanks for use of their air pump, and new air stone for a couple of hours. WHAT A DIFFERENCE really smooth and tasted great, cleaned any excess oils by coffee filtering a couple of times. SWMBO certainly took a liking, wants me to make some Parma Violets flavoured gin next time, perhaps it was a mistake after all!!

I made 2 Gins using food flavorings and colourings about a year ago, Both turned out fine. I recently returned to the half empty bottles to find an improvement.

The Gins were, Very Violet and the other Mary Jane (cannabis flavoured).

Spoiler Alert!
I consider my response to life to be liberal.

Being a mod on a 'hookey' site that aims to keep home distillers safe is one thing,and the reason that I am here.

Cannabis has a smell and an effect; and not a 'flavour' that should concern users of this site.

Posters mentioning any UK proscribed narcotics from here on in will find their posts deleted.

No if's or but's, no exceptions. If I see them, I will delete them.

Easy tiger. There is only 3 of us posting at the moment

If you delete Pyro, you reduce the input by to 50%. You you know I tally shite, mosty of the thyme.

Mash, mate you never fail to amaze!
I stated that I would delete posts, not posters...
It is a common problem that people don't ever read a thread properly before responding.
One day, You may choose to mod an open site.
I wish you well with that.
You are welcome to some of the fruit loops that I deal with.

Mary Jane Gin was a knock at a totally legal Canadian product called Mary Jane Vodka which dose have trace elements of the drug. It is a popular over the pond.

The stuff that I produced was produced using food flavourings and colourings which are legal.
It provided some entertainment at one of my daughter’s shindigs.

See https://www.drinkmaryjanes.com/

Food flavourings and colourings can be used to make some interesting concoctions.

Robert. It was a bit of dark humour intended to make you grin. I will put more smileys on next time.

PS. Have spoken to Richard @ lovebrewing. No big leads.

I was surprised to hear hear that the flavours stick and don't fade with time.

I used concentrate that I got on Ebay from http://www.classikool.com

The tint and taste seems to have strengthened with age.

Sorry Pyro, I wasn't really taking a swing at you earlier, but in these days of the fragility of the site, with such little member activity but still 11 "guests" online when I logged in tonight; certain words and topics appearing in posts, which may attract other attentions, whether from Goggle, GCHQ or elsewhere do tend to irk me.
Sometimes my own posts are not as fluent as I wished.
But I try.
Mash knows that I can be very trying!
I too have used classikool as a supplier, no complaints here.

Robert.

The classikool very violet is a real winner in gin with the laydeeeees as I predicted some time ago on here
