BobbyB Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Thinking of getting into NA Spirits (0-.5% ABV). I'm referring to things like Seedlip and not soda or juice. Anyone have some knowledge or experience? I'm curious about how what seemingly is an alcohol process gets done without alcohol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenlyon Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I've always thought, given the effort to get a distillers license etc, one would want to make beverages containing alcohol. I can see the appeal of de alcoholised spirits - there is one in BC here that has been wildly successful, but deep down I'm dubious. But, one can always jump on the bandwagon though. For example, I was thinking of doing a non alcoholic vodka. It would be very straightforward, I would simply put water into the bottle, put a great label on it and charge way too much. I suspect it would be a hit for certain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDistillation Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 How would you make non alcoholic vodka? substitute water for ethanol? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silk City Distillers Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Making them is easy, finding the $10 million in marketing budget to be able to actually sell them, that's the tough part... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silk City Distillers Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Really though, look into hydrosols and steam distillation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic.Distiller Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Yeah you'll basically be making hydrosols. The problem is they all kinda taste like flat Le Croix and would disappear in a cocktail. I tried Seedlip and was pretty unimpressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silk City Distillers Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Lots of oils and emulsifiers. Not sure how clear you could get something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
