The first liter of the recipe was really good, citrusy and fresh, then the flavour petered off into dull cinnamon and wood. Stupidly mixed it together but should have kept it separate.
Thanks Warra; I'm really looking forward to tasting the flavour difference between the different cuts bottles! Did you not like the flavour once blended, or would you have blended differently?
Hi Doc! :smile:
I'd like to start with a more modern style gin, so the less than 25 mins a basket is a bloody good tip! When I run this way, will I have enough Botanicals to do the whole run, if I just times out blond.chaps recipe amount, or do you think I'll need more? :think:
His recipe made out to my boiler/alcohol content (I think) would look like this:
640-960g dried juniper berries depending on preference for lighter to heavier styles
64 almonds
48-80 strips of orange peel
48-80 strips of lemon peel
32 strips lime peel
12 teaspoons full of angelica root
12 teaspoons full of Orris root
8 star anise
8 teaspoons full of ground coriander
Cassia bark 8 scrolls or 16 teaspoons cinamon powder
12 teaspoons full of ground ginger
48 black pepper corns
4 teaspoon dill tips
48 whole cloves
96 grains of paradise
It seems like a lot, however, that batch would make somewhere in the vicinity of 130 to 140 bottles... even with what I drink and give away to friends, I can't see me doing more than 1 batch a year :))
Does that amount seem right to you Doc?
