Gin Distilling

It has been a while since my last distillation run (in June) and stocks of my home-made gin are getting low. So, with Jane and David coming soon, I thought I'd make some more.

As has become my standard practice, I measured out my botanicals and infused them overnight.

I based my recipe on that from Gin#3, 21-June last year, but tweaked it a bit...

Botanical	Last Time	This Time
Juniper	25g	30g
Coriander	10g	12g
Angelica	3g	3g
Cardamom	2g	2g
Lemon Peel	8g	8g
Orange Peel	8g	8g
Fennel	3g	3g
Peppercorns	3g	3g
Liquorice	1g	1g
Cassia	1g	0.5g
Ginger	1g	1g
Grains of Paradise	1.5g	1.5g
Rose Petals	2g	2g
Elderflower	1g	1g

And here we are ready to go...

Dawn rather liked the result. I hope she doesn't drink it all before Jane and David come!
