Well.. I thought I had made a rather poor neutral so I ran it thru the AS with my new gin basket ( I can't believe it's not Gordon's recipe)The result was rather poor or so I thought. Today (a couple of weeks later) I sampled it and to my surprise it's actually rather good. In fact it's so good I'm impressed! Just a touch of tonic and a sliver of lemon zest (NOT a slice) and it's rather good. As good as any shop bought Gin IMHO perhaps better. It's my first real success. Big grins all round here!

Re: Gin....
Gins generally benefit from a little "marrying time"

Re: Gin....
It was my understanding that as per ED's comment, that once run, it needs a bit of steeping time to develop the recipe/flavour.......
As I seem to recall reading that somewhere (from Mash, or maybe Gaza?)........

Re: Gin....
Edwatters, it was from the Recipe Section under "Almost Gordons Gin". I am afraid I don't have any spirit recipes of my own yet, as I'm a complete beginner. Hence all my SBQ's (Silly Bloody Questions)
I didn't know about leaving it to steep and mingle the flavours. It's a bit obvious when you think about it! I've learned something new, but then I suppose its a question of knowledge and a large helping of patience! I'll probably do that for other brews in the future.
