PeteB Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I have distilled several hundred litres of my alcoholic ginger beer that was left over from a festival. Very sippable when cut to about 45% abv. But I have no idea what to call it. I am not constrained by TTB so almost anything goes. I guess it is an unaged "rum" because the alcohol comes from cane sugar. It is not a normal spiced rum because it is spiced pre fermentation. The still was fired with waste cooking oil from the festival so a name that hints at recycling or sustainability would be great. I will be taking the spirit back to next year's festival which prides itself with recycling and composting. If someone comes up with a good name that I use, I will try to send you a sample bottle of the GBSpirit(the best name I have come up with so far) Activate your creative minds.

porter Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Your folks might not understand it, but here in the USA something relating to a '3 hour cruise' or a boat named the 'Minnow" might be appropriate, given that Ginger is in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteB Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Thanks Porter, but I think that might be a bit too cryptic. I didn't watch many of the shows, but did they have a still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artisan Still Design Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Professor probably made it out of coconuts, or where else would they get the gin for all the martinis that Mr, Howell was always drinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejwoodnz Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Tweak it with a bit of chilli and call it "Red Hot Ginga" or maybe then add a splash of liquid smoke and you've got "Smokin' Hot Ginga" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteB Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Tweak it with a bit of chilli and call it "Red Hot Ginga" or maybe then add a splash of liquid smoke and you've got "Smokin' Hot Ginga" There was 10 Kg of chillies in the batch. A couple of bartenders visited my distillery yesterday and had a taste of it, they mentioned the chillie taste. "Red Hot Ginga" is sounding good My daughter gave me some of those spirit essences from New Zealand, sure there is a bottle of smoke there so I will give it a try.

nick jones Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Pete, I must say, I didn't realize how nice of a ring Red Hot Ginger had to it until I imagined it with a Kiwi accent (I'll admit that I can't tell the difference between a Kiwi and a Tazzy accent. I live a hemisphere away... you guys can cut me some slack, right?) Anyway, it got me thinking of one of my favorite movies, and in going with your "recycling" theme I thought that I'd throw out "Dr. Frankenginger's Rum" for consideration. Nick P.S. Let me know what awesome Tazzy movie I should watch to broaden my dialect knowledge Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteB Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 Had a suggestion from a local distillery "Ninger Ginger" Punkin, I like the RRR, although it is a "rum" because the alcohol comes from cane sugar GingeRRRum --- in fine print Reduced volume via distillation, Re-used leftover ginger beer, Recycled cooking oil to fire the still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteB Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 I keep wanting to blurt out "gingerhammer"...... Triple Ginge RRR Brandy (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). I'm in Nsw too so easy to send me thesample. Thanks for all the suggestions. I have decided to call it "R.R.R. Ginger Hammer" So there will be 2 prizes to send out. Could you two winners PM me your postal details. I think it is Punkin at StillDragon; yours will be easy to post. leftturndistilling may be slightly harder but I am sure I can get it to you. A friend of mine has released a fantastic and very high ABV barrel strength single malt called "Velvet Hammer". I had to point out to him that I did not plagerise his name because the suggestion came from USA. He wasn't overly upset as he has almost sold out.
