So I have some very dry Ginger Beer at 10%, options are back sweeten or add it to a Whisky run, I have some AG Barley, Rye and Wheat I'm about to strip. Thinking maybe do 1 more strip of the same and add the GB to the spirit run. Thoughts? :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I think that would be a very tasty drop after a while on oak. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Dunno if I'd be adding ginger brandy to AG whiskey... but let us know how it goes if you do!

I've got plenty of my favourite Whisky, Rum and experiments down aging, trying to think outside the box for something new. I love Ginger BTW. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Go for it, if it doesn't work out rerun it as neutral and make gin! I think it could be quite nice but getting the balance of ag to ginger would be the trick.

I made and distilled some ginger beer with my pot still. I intended to not age it. I got very little flavour carry over and ended up adding ginger for extra flavour. Your mileage may vary..

Running this now, 10LAG low wines and 10L 10% GB, nothing ventured, nothing gained. :D

:handgestures-thumbupleft: def interested in how this turns out..

How did this turn out tas? Too early to tell?

Haven't looked at it since I put it down, will check next march maybe 8-}

You go a long time between taste tests :sad:

Fair enough :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I am surprised you have not given it the old 6 month mark sample :shock:

I have a lot of experiments ageing away, the GB Whisky has not taken much colour from the oak yet :think: Smells OK, might even get motivated to dig it out and have a sample. Just started a new job so I haven't had much time for drinking or distilling the last few weeks. :angry-banghead:

What ratio of oak per litre is it :think:
I find 1 domino to each litre gives good colour over 6 month period. Around 13 grams

I generally only use 1 per 2L, i don't drink much young spirits anymore, unless Im drinking it white, mostly ageing long term now. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Update: tried 1 nip at ageing strength, the wheat needs some more time to settle, nice spice note from the rye ,definite GB bite that fades to a nice malty finish. Will try again in march. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
