Never give up! The difference between success and failure is when you stop trying 😉. Never stop trying until you succeed!✌️ Great video. Loved watching your experiments
Lots of fun experimentation going on there! I am most excited to make my own gin style that is difficult to get in Canada. Specifically, a London Dry with a bigger juniper hit than what is available (Junipero Gin style) at a higher abv; possibly navy strength. I recently did a comparison of Beefeater at 46% and 40%; the 46% really punched up my Negroni. There is a serious lack of basic gin with a big juniper hit and high abv that is needed to stand out in some cocktails. All the new (and overpriced) gins being put out right now are too 'new world' and experimental. I just want an affordable, big bold gin. Surely I am not the only one?
I’m pretty sure I have that exact same hoodie, not that I’ve ever got to wear it, my wife is usually curled up in it. Have you experimented with vapour infused botanicals? Don’t know how you would manage it with your big industrial still, but the copper alembics you put them in a muslin bag and feed the tie string down the spout so they are tucked up towards the column out of the wash and secure them at the spigot. Works especially well with dried citrus fruits and berries.
I am trying to make some tea flavoured spirits, but admitedly not with gin, I am going to use neutral spirit. I have tried a few tea flavoured spirits before that were really good, so I think you should keep trying. :) Also, where do you get the mini still from to do your test batches?
Really like the videos as usual. I had to laugh that if it was any good then Simon wouldn’t have let you share the recipe. Does that mean, what you show in how to videos are only going to be so so recipes 😂
Great vid. Ive found that less is more. Like I am an expert. But I stick with a core gin ingredients and then add 1 or 2 things depending on the flavour or smell I am after. Your changing at least 5 each time and their amounts. Ive not liked a gin yet that's got a mass of ingredients in, gets far too confusing and soapy.
If your getting free rain on making gin... G&B Gin and bru See what happens when you run irn bru through the still Gin and ‘The Tonic’ See what happens when you run Bucky through the still Also if Simon reads the comments... Give BB your Amazon account she going wild on bizarre relativity unknown spices! Brand: The Spiceworks on Amazon delivery Tons of spices you’ve never hear of to experiment with (and your competition haven’t either)
Simon: Buy one of everything you don’t know, if it costs you £100 and you only find one unique flavour that works in a future blend you have a niche product your competitors will have difficulty replicating. Guarantee you’ll find more than one! And if you do me and my wife get a distillery tour (after lockdown, with plenty of notice and assuming I actually find myself down in Avon)

Luckily you can always make the perfect gin for yourself!
@@MissBrewbird Ha! Well, we will see how it goes! Your videos have certainly helped improve my understanding of gin production significantly.
difficult to get mulberrys in Nova Scotia, but I will give it a try, albeit modified. Ill let you know my results!
Give Citra hops a go. I've been using them a lot in what will be one of our launch Gins. The blueberry might be better extracted in the vapour path.
I would have liked to try putting hop pellets in the vapour path.
Just started watching video it sounds wonderful will report back shortly
That was a fun to watch, thanks for sharing the recipe. Any chance can you please tell us more about the distiller you use in this video?
It is a small 2L alembic copper pot still. I think the brand is called Al-ambiq if you want to check it out online.
@@MissBrewbird Definitely, Thanks!

Also you got the date wrong. 17/1/20
Not experimented with it per se, but I have helped make some gin recipes where some of the botanicals are vapour infused.
I wanted to suggest something for your next gin recipe. I tried fresh tarragon (or as some call it, esragon) and it took the recipe to the next level!
🙂
Try my favourite a chai tea infused gin and orange
Ooh I do love chai tea
That vita vlt lemon ice tea branding is sooo close to Lipton lemon ice tea. Are they the same brand? Lays/walkers lynx/axe?
No, it's a totally different flavour. I found the vlt in Sainsbury's and Morrisons though.
I am trying to make some tea flavoured spirits, but admitedly not with gin, I am going to use neutral spirit. I have tried a few tea flavoured spirits before that were really good, so I think you should keep trying. :) Also, where do you get the mini still from to do your test batches?
Sounds cool. The still is Al-Ambiq.
Any details on where to get one of those small stills please.
They are made by al-ambiq.
@@MissBrewbird thank you, found a distributer in Scotland. Very nice looking unit for small batches.
Really like the videos as usual.

I stand behind that recipe! Everybody has different tastes after all.

yeah, I did completely rework my recipes each time, but only because they were so hated😓, lol
Where can I get a sample
Oh I'm sure that mango gin experiment is up in the attic somewhere at the Shakespeare Distillery.
When do you start distilling instead of flavoring neutral alcohol?
I am working on some brewing videos now, should be out in about a month or so
If your getting free rain on making gin...
G&B
Gin and bru
See what happens when you run irn bru through the still
Gin and ‘The Tonic’

Pomegranate juice sounds really good in there! But I guess no one liked it
I still think it could be bangin'. I blame my poor recipe execution skills.
