As a professional distiller I want to give you a tip. When zesting fruit you only want the peel not the pith. So none of that white stuck to the zest. The white gets very bitter (in a bad way). Makes world of difference even in "bath tub gin" like what's being made here. Alcohol's change when heated so I'd also suggest your users just add the botanicals directly into mason jars filled with 40% ABV spirits to macerate for 2 weeks and then filtering the botanicals out. My guess is that the taste will be better after macerating. Remember if the spirit is too bold, just mix some vodka back in with it to bring the botanical level back down. This type of gin has a name and it's called a compound gin, but often referred to as "bath tub gin". It's not popular as most people prefer a distilled gin that comes out of the still crystal clear. Close your eyes and drink it and it makes no difference. :) If it taste good, it's good!
Nothing better then a glass of Gin for this Hot Texas summer heat, thumbs up Haste Kitchen! Please make more beverages LIKE THIS so we can all relax with your amazing cocktails, it looks REALLY TASTY! Have a wonderful Sunday morning and keep on making drinks LIKE THIS, Vodka is so clean, one of the cleanest alcoholic beverages because it's made from potatoes, who doesn't love potatoes??
Wow!!! This was very interesting Ian. Personally I'm not a big fan of gin but I do love vodka. I imagine you can do the same technique and make infused vodkas. What a creative technique. Thank you for the wonderful video and recipes. Cheers!
Question? Can I use my yogurt setting on my instant pot. It's temp is 106*-113* and use mason jars, just cook longer? My mind is reeling with the flavor possibilities!
Ollie Mcc A dishwasher. Sounds crazy I know but simply add the botanicals to your bottle of grain alcohol (vodka) then screw the lid back on and add some extra tape then just run it through 1 maybe 2 cycles of your dishwasher.
wow now I know why in some places "gin" tasets like flavoured vodka. I suppose you make whiskey by putting some bonfire ash in vodka? Do you make your own copi luvac coffee too?

Absolutely agree. Nothing better than a nice ice cold gin 👊🏼
Dude, said it before, saying it again. Your channel is so great! Love the variety of your recipes and content. Best wishes, keep making great content!
Thank you so much, that means a lot. 👊🏼
I have an eastern red cedar tree, tons of these blue berries. Still have yet to attempt making gin from them
What are the pouches called and where can I buy online

Awesome! :) Very well presented!

Second video I have seen recently using a Sous Vide. Benji made 24 hour Adobo with his. Looks amazing!
What can i use instead of a water bath?
Thermostat and a pan of hot water. Regulate the heat to keep it the same throughout the process
How do you make it without a water bath?
Is it really that easy? this is brilliant! what do you suggest I use instead of the water bath? definitely giving this a try :)

@@edwardhale9471 that made me laugh, good idea
Ian, could a slow cooker be used? Also, what were the bags you put the ingredients in, just normal zip lock?
Totally agree - not everyone can afford or has the room for a water bath?
I received a portable sous vide for Christmas last year, and I had no idea this was possible despite watching many TH-cam videos! Great idea.
How can gin be made from vodka - love gin but hate vodka???
Vodka makes me sick but gin does not. How is this gin and not just infused vodka? I thought gin was vodka distilled further?
Can i ask what vodka did you used?
Vodka. Vodka is vodka. For this purpose it doesn't matter.
Excellent video - but where do i find those plastic bags?
Check out reusable sous vide bags x
Take the pith off silly!!
Great! I am going to try this without alcohol.
wow now I know why in some places "gin" tasets like flavoured vodka. I suppose you make whiskey by putting some bonfire ash in vodka? Do you make your own copi luvac coffee too?
I till give you like though as it is a good looking vodka coctail ;)
Gin IS flavored Vodka.
Or we could say that Vodka is just tasteless & incomplete Gin.
