  How to Fix a Failed Gin Recipe

  brought over from the old message boards:timmur09/29/03 04:15 PMCleaning a failed gin recipe About two weeks ago I tried to make some gin and I wasn’t happy with the flavor. I would like to remove the gin flavor and create a batch of neutral. I was told on another forum that this is not a problem with a good fractionating still. My problem is that when I tried to clean up the flavor, the stuff still tasted like gin (much weaker though). I’m sure the still was going slowly enough as I was only taking off 1 drop a second (the failed gin batch had some feints added to it from previous runs), yet the gin flavor was still apparent. I ran at normal speed (10 ml/second) after removing heads and of course it still had the gin flavor. Do I need to re-distill it several times, or did I do something wrong?Fourway09/29/03 08:59 PMRe: Cleaning a failed gin recipe [re: timmur]redistillthe slower the betterAnonymous09/30/03 05:16 AMRe: Cleaning a failed gin recipe [re: Fourway]Thanks. I’ll just run it back through nice and slow.
