Easy Gin Recipe

- In this video we make a large batch of a reasonably standard GIN so that we can go on to use that gin to make flavoured Gin Infusions. The recipe is based on ODIN's Easy Gin from the Home Distiller forums. I have added a few tweaks based on my own preferences, and my version is below - if you want to make Odin's original version, you will find it on the home distiller forum as a tried and trusted recipe.
The recipe is per litre of GNS at 43% abv, and is scalable to any volume.
This is a MACERATION recipe, not vapor infusion.
Juniper lightly crushed 12 grams
Corriander lightly crushed 3 grams
Tangerine Peel 0,25 fruit peel
Orris Root chopped 0,25 tsp.
Rose petals dried 1 tsp.
Black pepper whole 1 peppercorn
Almonds ground 0,5 tsp.
• Let that steep in the jar for 2 weeks.
• Pour into your still, straining off the bits of botanicals
• Do a slow pot still run, no bubble plates.
• Collect 10 mls as foreshots and discard. (remember the NGS has already lost its main batch of nasty foreshots) Do not scale the 10ml unless making more than 20L, in which case just double to 20mls.
• Collect 400mls PER LITRE of macerated NGS at between 70 and 80%abv. Adjust your running speed to hit that window - do your own maths on the volume to collect based on how much went into the still.
• Proof your gin down to 45% ABV Leave for 5 weeks before drinking for the gin to balance - if you plan to infuse with other flavours as I do, then go ahead, but ensure the total elapsed time is at least 5 weeks before you drink it.

I intend to try the recipe. For flavor retention, should I add Angelica root and/or Iris root? If yes, both? In what quantities?
Orris root IS Iris Root - one quarter teaspoon is all you need. You should not need both.
Great Job! I'm going to give it a try. If you don't mind...a little constructive criticism...music drowns out your voice in later parts of video. Cheers 🙂
Thanks for your feedback on the audio I will try to avoid that in future. Xx
Awesome video! Do you prefer maceration rather than vapor infusion in a gin basket? Cheers!
Hi George, I don't have a gin basket for this still, so as the saying goes off your only tool is a hammer... I have heard that hard botanicals are better macerated, and softer ones infused, but I have no proof either way.
мацерация и перегон с целой ботаникой попробуйте , не измельчайте !!!
Please ,,, half a theespoon of brown.......?.? Per liter. Can’t hear .. music to loud.... and,, same amount spices for infusion?
Sorry about the music. It sounded fine when I did the editing, but playback on you tube was not so good. The full recipe and instructions are in the video description.
shallow citrus peel, the flesh is bitter
For a better result with the rose petrels, vapour infuse them instead of macerate, great video
Hi Paul I don't have a gin basket for this still, so as the saying goes if your only tool is a hammer... I have heard that hard botanicals are better macerated, and softer ones infused, so I expect that would be good, and it sounds like you are talking from experience. Cheers 🍻
