Is this a good assumption? and is this a good or bad thing to happen?
I found the gin flavour was a little too subtle but as this was my first go at it I was happy just to do it.
I think I will have another go but this time will use a diluted neutral rather than going straight off a TPW
cheers

I found when trying for something like this it helps to chuck it back into full reflux when the abv starts dropping and this will stack the good stuff again :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I was thinking the caddy would be after (on top) of the RC so you can go back into full reflux to change the botanical s in the caddy.

I know of at least one commercial operator doing this.
