Bookmark or Share- Vacuum Operation - StillDragon® Community ForumThe project aims to extract flavours from some Amazon's pecial fruits and plants. Extraction is made by maceration in ethanol as solvent. Then we need to recover the solvent and concentrate the flavors, water, etc.. Therefore, besides vacuum chamber, I also need a solvent collector and some cooling system.
- Infusion / Maceration vs Distilling - StillDragon® Community ForumDifferent botanical compounds release their optimal goodness differently. A lower ABV of alcohol vapor can allow for a softer release than a higher ABV that may draw out more acrid flavors for example. Similarly, extracting the goodness by maceration pulls flavor at a different rate. You can get some pointers by the folks here for sure.
- Carter Head vs. Boiler - General Discussions on StillDragon® Community ...I'm not a gin guy by any means, but I had a discussion with a guy who was, and his claim was that different botanicals were better suited towards different techniques, with some botanicals better suited towards maceration in the spirit prior to distillation (with botanicals still in), and others that were not suited towards maceration, and instead should be placed in the carter head.
- Developing Gin Recipe - Recipes Discussions on StillDragon® Community ForumThere are lots of guys with more experience making gin out there. To answer your question yes. You make your "neutral Gin" and that way you get a clean spirit to heat cycle 1 litre recipe tests with the other botanicals. If you do maceration with the Juniper some of the heavy Juniper oils and tannins distort the flavor of the final macerated Gin.
- Maceration and Aromatic Basket - StillDragon® Community ForumThe objective was in total (maceration + aromatic basket) to have 30g of dry plants per liter of 40% alcohol. the heads, hearts, tails had no depth and did not taste like macerated plants. all you could smell was the scent of the plants in the basket. superb taste but no depth.
