While I’m at it!
I’ve done a HBS sugar wash (turbo yeast inc) which I ran through the reflux head and then macerated some gin botanicals in the spirit then re-ran the gin through the pot head with the botanicals suspended under the pot column. It actually produced a decent gin! Now I know how that every noob brew is shit, but the ‘minister for good decisions’ and I are trained in sensory evaluation and we agreed that it was fairly compatible to a local artisan gin which is a commercial brew, have i jagged :happy-partydance: a brew? Is the local brew crap? Or am I kidding myself?
BTW I wlll be doing FFV or TPW from now on, just got a lowan yeast from local supermarket.
