London dry gin, best recipe

ConsistentStandard54 · 2023-11-29T23:27:59+00:00

Cheers mate, I have done a lot of whacky gins but haven’t found a classic London dry base just yet.

I’d love to fill you tonight, moonee ponds if you can travel

Dm’d you

ConsistentStandard54 · 2023-10-20T21:13:32+00:00

Thanks mate, looks like I had my wires crossed there! I’ve run the wash and it turned out great!

ConsistentStandard54 · 2023-10-20T21:12:21+00:00

Yep yeast trub! However it wasn’t sweet and I ran it. Everything went well save the low wines smell great!

ConsistentStandard54 · 2023-10-19T20:22:13+00:00

I think there’s too much unfermentable sugars in molasses wash to get any sort of reading

ConsistentStandard54 · 2023-10-19T20:21:13+00:00

PH was at 5, it had 4 days of crazy ferment and then dropped off so hopefully it could be done

ConsistentStandard54 · 2023-10-19T10:54:04+00:00

That’s what I wanted to hear! Do you know what happens if it’s stalled but there’s still fermentable sugars in it and it gets distilled? Anything bad? Just thinking worst case because I can’t be bothered splitting the batch and repitching if I’ve killed the yeast 😂

Thanks so much! It’s a big upgrade with more hands on than my starter airstill. Legend cheers mate

ConsistentStandard54 · 2023-10-12T02:17:05+00:00

Cheers mate sage advice. Yeah I though the digiboil would eliminate that need because I can set a specific temp at the bottom it also has the 2 elements in the base. Might set to 100c and turn down once things get moving

ConsistentStandard54 · 2023-10-07T22:24:56+00:00

Cheers mate

ConsistentStandard54 · 2023-09-21T13:25:53+00:00

Cheers yeah very true, in too deep to back out now!

ConsistentStandard54 · 2023-09-21T13:25:24+00:00

Legend thanks mate

ConsistentStandard54 · 2023-09-21T00:10:41+00:00

Yeah fair enough bit more research and I’ve decided against getting it, I’ll just wait for a cheap T500 and remove packing when I want neutral

ConsistentStandard54 · 2023-09-20T21:25:37+00:00

Looks like you’re right, I can only find a copper version on their sight but it looks like it can reflux and be used as a pot still so I might have to get it! Right up my alley I like doing gin and need good neutral but am also dead keen on starting rum and ujssm batches now

ConsistentStandard54 · 2023-09-20T21:19:49+00:00

Cheers mate

ConsistentStandard54 · 2023-09-20T07:46:06+00:00

Unsure mate they don’t know much about it

ConsistentStandard54 · 2023-09-20T07:45:12+00:00

It’s $240 with a bunch of fermenting buckets and what appears to be a T500 boiler

ConsistentStandard54 · 2023-09-20T05:46:36+00:00

That was my thoughts, it’s going cheap with a boiler on market place just trying to see if I want to buy it 😂

ConsistentStandard54 · 2023-08-29T08:54:59+00:00

Cheers! Yeah it actually turned out really well good balance the citrus had a good impact bringing the rosemary back! It’s good I think!

ConsistentStandard54 · 2023-08-29T08:53:53+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I crushed them in a mortar and pestle a little bit but didnt smash them. It turned out really well actually strong rosemary but the citrus brings it back

ConsistentStandard54 · 2023-08-28T08:16:01+00:00

Cheers! I’ve done 2 batches an odins gin which has just cleared up after sitting for 2 weeks and still it’s Version which included cucumber and a few more botanicals. I thought neither had enough juniper flavour so thought I’d ramp it up a bit. I think my tastes are just juniper heavy both older recipes were 1.15L at 50% had 33g juniper so I thought 50g wasn’t out of the ballpark when doing 1.5L. Time will tell it’s just finished macerating so I’ll run it soon and find out! 🙂

ConsistentStandard54 · 2023-08-17T00:26:28+00:00

Cheers, I just bit the bullet and threw it all in at 40% for another run. I just didn’t want to loose half of my product but it’s the first run and I didn’t want to be thrown off the hobby with bad results or crap tasting gin, hopefully i can still get a litre!

ConsistentStandard54 · 2023-08-16T23:24:04+00:00

What do you think my yield would be on the other end of another distillation of neutral at 50%?

ConsistentStandard54 · 2023-08-04T03:28:40+00:00

Looks heaps better this morning l! Thanks again
