Glycerine, what does it do?

by **Boomgate** » Tue Jan 29, 2013 5:29 pm

Hi guys, I have been reading about the effects of glycerine... but people always say it makes drinks "softer".... wtf does that mean? anyone got a description that makes sense to me?

it takes that bite off it , sort of like putting a stick in it for two months , dont ask me how it works it just does ,,, I use it in everything ranging from 2ml /L (vodka's) to 5 ml / L (scotch)

the SS whiskey profile kit , suggests it in its recipes (thats how i got onto it)... much higher quanitities but. You can notice a honey like run inside the bottle if you swirl it

A thicker syrupy mouthfeel without adding flavour.

It's a modfied sugar.
It's purely textural in effect with no flavour.

a few to describe..
thicker, thicker in mouth, wider mouth feel, flatter, dull even, dense, softer, heavier, fatty, spreads in mouth, sticky to the tongue.

Downsides:
be careful adding too much it can get over the top.
Other issue is in real strong spirit it can turn and go soapy.

Suggestion
It don't replace an extra few weeks of aging. Also your spirit remains more lively, fresh, bright, distinctive, bitey, noticable on tongue, aromas of deep timber...you loose these qualities with Glycerine.

by some of the descriptions sounds like when I'm taking a big cock in my mouth :handgestures-thumbdown: :laughing-rolling: I have tried it (glycerine ) still on the bench with how good it performs if at all.

If you're doing a liqueur like kahlua or midori then it's a must for making a clone as close to the original as possible.

perhaps you wont be so vulgar in future ;-)

You left yourself "wide open" for that and deserve everything that cums your way should you choose to behave like that.

A good time to remind everyone that quite a few ladies frequent this forum :handgestures-thumbupleft:

In the right section of the forum sure, like the banter box ;-)

The thing I'm having a problem with lately is the vulgarity is becoming wide spread, and as mature adults I think there shouldnt be a need to moderate it.

Lets keep the tech questions clear of it and reserve it for fucking about in the dunder pit hey.

Thanks for your understanding :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Glycerine doesnt add the sweetness that glucose does :handgestures-thumbupleft:
