Ok when you put the copper scrubbies in your pipe to increase the abv. What I would do is cram pack it full of lime and lemon peel and then a small amount of scrubbie. To act as a barrier. It’ll amp up the citrus. Or olive nation. Which I have tried a bunch and it’s kinda fake tasting to me. But idk. Give it a whirl. Love the double maceration technique.

A few years ago I made some "cello's". They didn't turn out great because I didn't remove enough of the pith. So I redistilled it. Came out horrible, super bitter. Set it aside to use as fresh smelling cleaner.... Four months later I needed to clean something. So naturally first thing I did was stick my finger in. And low and behold, all bitterness was gone and I was left with a real clean clear citrus flavor bomb. Work's great for tweaking my gins.

Hi, I also macerate and infuse my botanicals. Usually, like you say I macerate "solids", anything seeds, barks, roots for 3-4 days, filter and then distill with other botanicals in the basket, such as fresh leaves, flowers and peels. The result is usually more complex and with a longer finish than with simple vapor infusion. I sometimes add what I call "homemade extracts" to my final blend, in order to adjust and balance the flavor from one batch to another. For instance, if for some reason the coriander does not come through enough in the end result, I can add a few mL of coriander extract to compensate. Of course you can't adjust if one particular flavor comes too much forward, but that's one way of doing it. In my experience so far with citrus ingredients, they combine very well with Pink Pepper berries or even leaves if you can find some.

I used the double method of infusion and vapour, with lemon peel, in my air still, i was dissapointed with the strength of the lemon, in the final product, however, when i dismantled the still, i noticed a yellow lemon oil dripping out of the gin basket, so i washed the contents of the basket in the final product and that added some more lemon but it did make a yellow tint but it did increase the flavour, worth noting.

Good day bearded, from a sunny Cape Town, South Africa. I have done a couple of Gin runs with my collected aftershots. So basically a chimera style run. I have found the gin baskets to work perfectly as you have a higher surface contact ratio with the vapour. Your basically forcing the vapour to have contact with the citrus peels. With your setup , I'd imagine a lot of the vapour passes by the citrus without having time to infuse. As results go, I have had great success. As my Gin comes out very citrus forward, with your desired crisp citrus flavours. I do have to give a lot of credit to @beaverdiy as it is his original recipe and method I have adapted to get my results. I love your channel. Thanks and keep up the great show. Regards

I have never "distilled" Gin but it is one of my favorites, my wife bought me one of those kits before I started, it is a kit where you just soak the botanicals in the neutral, and that is the way I have been making my own Gin. So you could just add some fresh citrus zest and add let it soak and boost that side, it won't be clear but will tell you you're going in the right direction.

Great video, Bearded! Last year I made a lemon wine from sugar, tree-ripened lemon flesh and juice. I previously had used the peels for limoncello. The wine, once fully fermented, was really, really lemony. It sat around in my shop for months since it didn’t taste very good. To get rid of it I distilled it one and done. Wow! The spirit is intensely flavorful and intensely lemony. Like a lemon eau de vie. No cooked fruit taste. If you added this to gin you might get where you are trying to go. I don’t really like gin so I haven’t tried it. Yeah, weird, I know.

Hi, Bearded! I make an experiment, which is 100% success. Mandarin dried skins infused in 40% ABV without maceration. You need big glass bottle ( I use 2L glass jar with large lid) and you need SS container ( I use big tea maceration SS mesh with mandarin skins etc.) which is before the lid and than you need perfect insulation to make all that airtight. Put jar in the +30 degree Celsius and leave it to 5 days. That`s it! Your perfect flavored vodka/ gin is ready to serve! P.S. This method eliminate bitterness of the skin white stuff, which is very good - you can collect your citrus skins with white stuff without worries. Cheers! 🥂

Hi from a new sub! Great video! About the position of the aroma bag: I'd say that positioning it higher exposes the contents to lower-temperature vapors, which very likely will have a noticeable effect. Being more an absinthe 'expert', that is just a guess. My absinthe distillations have all been macerations, but I think I'll try putting some of the soft leaf herbs into the column of the still (an 'Arabica' copper pot still, 2 liters) and see how it affects the product.
