Thought I would share my builds over the last few years after being inspired by all you folk.
Been making rum , whisky, vodka, gin etc
Plan to make a 6" thumper next

Sweet as :handgestures-thumbupleft: is the middle one 6"

Nice work mate :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Noice...

Good work spoonjab. I can see you have put some serious hours into building your rig. Hope to see your build thread for your 6" thumper. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I have also aquired 4 x 20L kegs via gumtree.
One is full of sweet feed whisky with 12 months age
2 are full of rum. 1 just filled and the other has 3yrs age.
3 yr old rum is awesome.
I string a heap of charred oak on some stainless wire which is attached to the bung and hangs inside. Makes it easy to remove and replace.

Recently made a black berry vodka and kaffir lime vodka. Both go great in lemonade.
The kaffir lime vodka is my favorite.

Awesome stuff Spoon! Love to see some more pics/specs :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Are these just macerated? Got a recipe/ technique please?

Kaffir lime vodka
thinly slice 7 leaves
soak in 250ml of 95% until leaves colour fade, took about 3-4days from memory
shake bottle a couple of times a day
stain off leaves
dissolve 50g Stevia with 250ml water and add to 95%
I used another 250ml 40% vodka so you end up with a 750ml bottle at ~40%
flavour is strong so you can add additional 40% vodka to taste

Black berry vodka
use same procedure above for the blackberries
I used 100g frozen coles black berries in 250ml 95%.
Soaked about 10-14 days until berries go pale
add water, stevia, vodka as above

Enjoy!

I have also used lemon myrtle leaves with success, the vodka ends up a light brown in colour

.....oops just scrolled own further and saw recipe..cant delete posts

Hey spoonjab I reakon you should repost that recipe in the experimental section so it does not get lost in the forum. :handgestures-thumbupleft: def will be trying this. I assume it works with any citrus tree? I just bought a cumquart tree to make some perserves :D

And then I read the date :twisted:
