I am wondering if I could get some advice on making spiced rum using maceration? I bought around 10 ingredients but have no idea where to start with blending them (amounts) or what proof I should be macerating at. I know some things like cinnamon and star anise can be overpowering quick and others take more time to steep. I was thinking of doing each one separately in their own mason jar and then blending the tinctures. Right now I am starting with a full bottle (750ml) of 80proof silver rum and eyeballing the ingredients. I just ordered a scale that does smaller weights since mine only goes down to 1 gram and I thought about making tea bags with small amounts so I could use less than 750ml bottle of rum. Any advice would be a great help! Thanks in advance

Hello Forum Members I am new to distilling, doing it as hobby, and on a quest to make my own perfect gin (perfect for me I hope). Very small batch, have a copper compound still for neutral, then will run in pot still mode for my flavouring run. I have a question on macerating botanicals. How broken up are they in maceration? Take juniper berries for example, are you grinding them up so each berry is broken or smashed into fine pieces such as a coffee bean grinder, or just crushing them as if each berry was passed under a rolling pin? Welcome you help.
