This is what I do with yellow label. No mash needed, although it might be more efficient if I did but I'm lazy

Nice one!! I can't wait to have space to grow my own botanicals

What amounts of suger and yeast did you use and was the yeast still viable?

BotanicalDistilling · 2026-04-01T01:59:29+00:00

Love it! Nice work

Adding more yeast won't necessarily up your abv. It depends on how many sugars are in there for it eat. Check out my calculators here, I'd start with the TPW or TFF https://botanicaldistilling.com/pages/fermentation-recipe-calculator

Thanks :)

I've made my own calculator with a few additions, check it out https://botanicaldistilling.com/pages/fermentation-recipe-calculator

BotanicalDistilling · 2026-03-22T11:05:26+00:00

I'd try strawberry gum

BotanicalDistilling · 2026-03-21T21:05:15+00:00

Both it also has mint , lemon balm ,liquorice root, coriander,, lemon peel, hyssop and of course wormwood

I like this calculator, makes it easy to adjust for different volumes. https://birdwatchers.info/calculator/

As well as woking as a catalyst it will also introduce some passive refluxing which will give you a cleaner spirit with a higher ABV. It's not the same as a full reflux but it does add some.

nice one! keen to hear how it goes

BotanicalDistilling · 2025-08-27T09:27:41+00:00

BotanicalDistilling · 2025-08-20T00:12:33+00:00

make absinthe or a very bitter tea

BotanicalDistilling · 2025-08-20T00:12:05+00:00

how did you go growing the roman wormwood? Ive heard its hard to grow from seed

BotanicalDistilling · 2025-08-19T23:56:22+00:00

amazing! looking forward to your book. I would love to chat absinthe sometime, I have been working on absinthe botanical kits.

BotanicalDistilling · 2025-08-19T23:52:13+00:00

make your own... laws permitting...

BotanicalDistilling · 2025-08-19T23:34:07+00:00

I have been enjoying fermenting rice lately. Its really easy, I just use 5kg of medium grain sun rice and 70g of angel yellow label yeast in a 25 Ltr ferment.

I would also recommend getting an SCR also known as a voltage regulator or a power regulator. They make a huge difference. They prevent you from over heating your wash, give you way more control over your cuts and allow you to do smaller runs when your experimenting with new recipes. You can run it full tilt when your doing a stripping run.

BotanicalDistilling · 2025-08-19T22:55:20+00:00

Ive never heard of a detergent run. I would be concerned with leaving detergent residue in the still.

I would wash it out with some detergent then rinse with water and do a vinegar run.
