Hi from Melbourne

Hi all!

Glad to be part of this community!

I’m relatively new to this but have a few runs under my belt. My main focus is to produce gin. I’ve booked myself in for the distilling course at Old Kempton Distillery early next year. Can’t wait!

With my set up (T500 with copper reflux condenser), I’ve been able to develop a recipe that I’m really happy with, but I know it can be better. I am now working on transitioning that recipe into a pot (just purchased the Alembic dome pot condenser). I’m expecting that we will maintain much more flavour and subtleties within the botanicals, but wondering if the trade off is going to require a recipe adjustment. Has anyone had any experience with this? Can your trials reduce our errors? Or point me in the right direction to where I can find this info on the forum?

Thanks!

Hi there welcome to the forum :greetings-waveyellow:

Welcome to AD mate.

I would start by running run your normal gin recipe through the pot and see how it turns out then adjust it accordingly otherwise you're starting with an unknown still and an unknown recipe.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking of doing, so you suggesting the same gives me confidence in that approach!

Thanks!

Hi TheHenchman,

How is your gin turning out?

Do you tweet your recipe? if so can you share any learnings.

I'm also making gin and still very very green at it..

Cheers,
