G'day Guy's,
I've just done a search and I can't believe I didn't put this recipe on the forum :angry-banghead: as in my opinion it is an ozzie version of a toned down ouzo :teasing-tease:

Now in 5 litre of hearts by hearts

50-100 grams of crushed licorice root
1-3 star of anise
1 stick of cinnamon

crush everything in a corana mill and add to the neutral then stir daily but leave it for a week to fully macerate. Then run it thru a pot still and what ever your not drinking leave it at the ABV you got off the still. then just decanter down when required.

I do believe I made this stuff before i joined the forum and decantered a bottle at new years. This stuff is amazing and I'm sure if a few do this recipe it won't take long for it to take off.

Cheers Bryan

Now I did say this stuff was nice and I did set the record at the country hospital after SWMBO thought I was too far gone but I came home and had more as it is just so nice :teasing-tease: :teasing-tease: :teasing-tease:

Now you want us all to start a garden mate, it looks like it takes a couple of years for the licorice root to grow to a point of harvesting.

So many recipes so little time lol

I’ll try this one , since you sent me all that root
Cheers

Wellsy some licorice root is heading your way tomorrow with that bottle of peat mate

You will have to let me know what you want sent back mate.
I have BWKO, 3 months old, NGW 2 months old , got some AG on the go but will be months before spirit run is done or if you are brave enough I can send you a fresh bottle of vodka once I triple distill it.

Thank you by the way for your generosity of spirit and advice mate :)

Well now having a dram or three :obscene-drinkingchug: of this licorice root vodka and just asked SWMBO how easy is a cutting to get going where the answer was NO it won't grow I've tried it.

So if one wants to get one going a trip to the plant shop is needed but be aware this can become a weed and the roots get 3 metres long. But for what we are doing this is a good thing and just let em grow rampant :handgestures-thumbupleft: I'm about to pull up a heap and if any forum members want some and lets say $25 for 500 grams along with $12.50 for postage. Mind you it is a heap of work for me and I am thinking of using the tractor to pull some this out as it has got that rampant :laughing-rolling: Then it's the cutting and drying to consider so I do think it is a good price and just to think if I pulled my patch the 5 star shop would run out in a month :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: and that if he would put it on the product line :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:

Cheers Bryan

How do you recommend breaking this up for the poor person who doesn’t own a Corona mill?
This stuffs harder than an old HB pencil .
And don’t say mortar and passel, the Mrs had a heart attack I was bashing it so hard

We have no intent on selling botanicals Bryan :-B

WTF :laughing-rolling: 5 star distilling doesn't sell corona mills :laughing-rolling: mate maybe time to start selling them as I got mine from a HBS shop for under a $100 for a hand powered one :handgestures-thumbupleft: I'm sure if you asked those chings they would make a good enough to call it a 5 star one :handgestures-thumbupleft: so do it man and I reckon it will be a good seller .

Cheers Bryan

Edir speeling

I don’t think so , not enough room and I’m not Bunnings of distilling :laughing-rolling:

So what you want to send the root back for milling well mate you pay postage both ways and it's a done deal :handgestures-thumbupleft: and in the return postage you can get your bottle :handgestures-thumbupleft: just not be what your thinking but it will give a chilli twist to it :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: Mate this stuff has aged in the bottle for yonks and man is it nice :obscene-drinkingchug: I reckon the vodka version is the one to send.

Cheers Bryan

Na I've been trying to get him to sell something on mine for years but he keeps using that bunnings quote :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:

A.do sell a hand mincer for 20:00 every now and again maybe that would crush it a little

Was meant to be the German supermarket

What about using a Hydraulic press to crush flat and then to put in a blender.

Is there any precursor to making drugs in the roots because ever time i look up ingredient that is a root they say is banned or gives you cancer like kava and then find was all bull shit about the cancer.
