Our botanical blend we used for a gin:
1 oz. Juniper Berries
1 oz. Sweet Orange Peel
1/10 oz. Licorice Root
1/10 oz. Coriander Seed
Let's make some gin! Today, we'll show you how to make a gin from home. Follow our botanical blend for a gin and get a nice gin recipe that you can tweak to make an Olde Tom Gin or a Bombay Dry Gin, or really whatever gin recipe you want. Making a fermentation for gin is pretty easy, but making a botanical blend for gin can be a little tricky. We're hoping this video will help you with some guidelines for making gin and will also help you formulate a nice spice blend for your gin.

Star anise and grapefruit sounds like a good combo.
Yeahh, going to have to give this a shot!
With gin you never know what you've got until you are finished with the run and do your blending. The botanical flavors come across at different times during the run. Your first jar is going to taste completely different than your last jar. My wife and I were not big gin fans until I started the distilling hobby. I bought her an air still for her gin making and at this time I don't think she has made the same thing twice and she is on batch 13 currently. She keeps me busy making neutrals for her. Every batch is different and she has honed in on her perfect gin. Good Video, Boo. Keep up the good work!
For sure, Tim. It's definitely a long process to dial in that recipe. Very cool how you guys are a team with it, though. I wish I had a distiller wife :( some guys have all the luck. Hahaha!
Never really liked gin, but it's interesting to know you can change the flavor so many different ways with it. I think a gin with a little pepper would be really nice!
Great vid Boo. Gin is magical with some patience...
Thanks, buddy! Yeah, definitely takes a while to get it down to a science, but there have been some amazing gins I've had from distillers that have taken the time to get it down.
Thanks, that was fun! Personally, I macerate warm for 24 hours in 100p clean vodka and then run fast. It's very consistent. In terms of botanicals, the toughest component for me is the perfect amount of licorice; to be barely noticeable for a tad too much and my gin becomes aspartamey.
You got it, thanks for watching! It was fun for us too! Licorice is definitely a harder one to dial in right, that's for sure.
My mother was once asked to be a taste tester by the local milk provider (ok, I'm almost 70 so she's long gone). We would get milk delivered to the front door in our little metal basket. She told the milkman she tasted onions in the milk one week. The next week, they asked her to be a tester as apparently the cows had gotten into a field of onion grass, so our milk was free from then on. I started my career as a taste tester in a lab almost 40 yrs ago (retired now). You've got the tasting genes! Excellent descriptive videos and tasting notes. you are a true professional. Keep up the great work.
Hi, Robert. Loved your story, thanks! Sounds like a sharp nose on the both of you! This was actually a really cool compliment to hear for me, so thanks so much. I try to be as descriptive as possible.
Love from Turkey.Thankyou for your endless work.
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching, my international brother!
Thanks sir.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
I do much the same s you Boo but when my ABV starts to drop I crank up the dephag water so the tails can't get past it plus it's a balancing act with the power but I can squeeze a lot more high proof out, each to there own. Great video mate .Thank you.
Hell yeah, Garry! I bet you do some good stuff on your machine. Thanks for watching.
Great video!! Quick question how many gallons of wash did you distill for the ingredients you listed?
Thanks for watching! We used a 6.5 gallon brown sugar-based fermentation for our gin.
@@milehidistilling1 Thank you!!!
@@gbpd80 You got it!
Good info. You may want to edit between 1624-1700 though.
Hi, Ted. I'm confused, what needs to be removed there? Kept the camera moving part in for some laughs, but not seeing anything else that would warrant editing.
16:58 made this worth watching; lmfao sir!
Hahaha glad you liked it brotha! The cameraman and I had a good laugh at that moment when I was editing, so thought we'd keep it in.
