Gin

A guilty gin pleasure:

Pint glass, triple of any old Gin, ice, bottle of smirnoff ice.

Tastes just like old fashioned lemonade and makes you very wonderfully pissed.

My friends parents still have a blood stain under their staircase from 15 years ago when said friend and I got smashed on his dads "specail gin" n Juice at his 15 bday party

does special mean it has rohypnol in it?

Also, dirty gin martini's from the Soho Theatre Bar. Absolute blubber juice but totally delicious.

We used to make them with Hoopers Hooch and call them Goochies. (Gin + Hooch).

This drink once lead me to strapping a pair of skis to my trainers and skiing down the 25 step entrance staircase to our local cellar bar. Into a brick wall.

It's fine to do that - gin makes you hurt-proof.

So what happened to all those alcoholic lemonades? Hoopers Hooch, Two Dogs etc?

They all do that ginger beer stuff now instead.
They'll disappear too.

Gin will endure!

Oh yeah the still is in action, home made gin and vodka on the way.

Indeed.

Jesus. Is that safe?

what say you Gin drinkers to the long-founded theory that it makes you maudlin?

a friend of mine who likes his gin told me the hangovers tend to me more miserable and depressed than your standard issue hangover.

Jesus. Is that safe?

Reasonably safe, its a commercial urn with a reflux still head on it. The stuff that comes out the end can be rather dangerous though, up to 4l of 88% alc tonight.

Outstanding!

What do you do to get it to a 'safe' drinking level? Water and botanicals?

If you feel a bit blue in the morning, you should have a nice big gin in the morning to cheer you up. It works for me.

Yeah water it down to 40% then use it as a base for whatever takes your fancy. Will make 4 litres of gin steeping wiht juniper berries, corriander seeds, angelica roots etc. Going to have a crack at making some rasberry schanpps for the girlfriend and have got some oak chips ready to try some bourbon.

Yours will not be a long life, sir, but it will be a merry one!

I'll add a still to my Christmas list, along with the cider press I dream of.

What do you use as your primary ingredient? Grain, potatoes, etc?

Just making dextose base at the moment. Once I get through the 25kg bag of dextrose I'm going to have a crack at Uncle Jim's Simple Sour Mash recipe. Using cracked corn and sugar, will take a few runs but should be making a real sour mash bourbon in about 6 weeks time.

LFGSS; supplying Moonshine to fakengers since 2007.

Anyone tried Patxaran? Nice smooth sloe liqueur from the Basque country. Only 25-30% and an excellent digestive.

Now I know what 'JDB' stands for.

Is your first name Jack?
