Hi Jess

Thank you very much for your help with the sloe berries recipe, in England we do have a lot of sloe berries and sometimes they

bring from Europe, last year I made sloe gin which came quite nice, in a litre of gin I added 1kg of sloes and half kilo of sugar,

left in the bottle for months and now we drink with bitter lemon and is a refreshing one.

Now I will do in a different way, less sugar and less berries and by xmas will be ready.

Thank again.

Anibal

Hello, yes as you mentioned, scaling up is very tricky, the kettle is 150lt and I am trying to work it out a recipe for 60 o 65 litres of GNS at 96 abv, the original I have done in a 2.5lt as the courses with 30gr of botanicals, I am concern about cloudy gin because of the oil.
I did in the 30gr, 15g juniper, 8 coriander, x10 botanicals 4.80gr and x100 botanicals 2.10gr the total came to 29.90gr and was v good.
So for the 60lt I worked out
Juniper 900gr
Coriander 345gr
x10 botanicals 360gr
x100 botanicals 153gr
which the total comes to 1kg 863grm.
Some I multiplied by 60 like juniper 15×60 and coriander, the others in different way. But I think I need to add some more.
If comes cloudy can be redistil as you mentioned, also from each batch will be tail to add to the new batch.

I want to have nearly the same flavour as the gin I made with the 2.5lt or closer.

What do you suggest to me? I will appreciate and by the way I love so much that now Alembics lab is on.
Thanks

How to calculate botanicals from a 2.5lt pot (30Gr – 40abv) to 100 lt pot (50lt GNS 96 abv- 50lt water)
if I add to much the gin will become cloudy due the oils.
Please help me with that.
Thanks
