Rather impressed with myself.....
Posted: Thu Jan 16, 2014 7:00 pmSo this may be old news to some, but I had a bit of a plan for some lolly water (alcopop)
So I made a TPW wash, and passed it through the air still for a 40% spirit. I used the carbon filter to take the taste out of it.
I took a 19L home brew keg and put 1.5 l of brickfords lemon, lime and bitters cordial on 12l of water. I chilled this and gassed it.
I then added 4l of 40% filtered spirits to the keg and chilled and gassed that too.
I am very impressed with the result which is an 8%? (I think) delicious drink that my partner (who swore she would never drink my distillate) really enjoys.
We have ~18l of alcopop on tap, cost was negligible and taste is deceptive (tastes like a soft drink with a slight vodka twang)
This may be a well worn path, but I just thought I would share that this process works a treat if you have someone who likes alcopops in summer.
