Learning to infuse source of info?

[Ryan S.]

Hello everyone Im a rather new distiller from Houston Texas. Could someone point me in the direction of a source of info on how to properly infuse vodka. Im talking about at the still level not for parties or in a bowl type thing......

Thanks for the info,

Ryan S.

I've been searching for good information on this topic for quite some time as well and I really haven't found anything yet. Please give an update if you find some good info.

That book is exactly what he didn't ask for.

If you have a still with a gin basket you can use that for other infusions too. Then it's on to fun experimentation.

Well I read it differently my mistake, This is a great book for basic infusions to start out with then take them to the gin basket on the still for those that want to try more complex infusions.

Ryan did you get the info you were looking for? I am also a little curious on technique. I am able to stuff my column with flavoring items but as for flavoring vodka I'm unsure about the process. What I have done ,but not efficiently, is distill to 190, proof it down and charcoal filter, then redistill with citrus or whatever items I'm using in the column. The flavors come out great but its very labor intensive. Does anyone else have any other simpler solutions?
