Distilled ginger beer, name suggestions please

[PeteB]

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.

Thanks

Pete Bignell

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.

[PeteB]

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?

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?

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.

According to Cartman in SouthPark, Gingers have no souls. No Soul Beer.

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.

Gingershine

[PeteB]

Keep them coming, they are getting better. If we get enough I will put them up to a local selection panel. What about Frankengingers Moonshine?

Might have to send 2 samples to 2 winners

I keep wanting to blurt out "gingerhammer"......

[StillDragon Australia]

Triple Ginge RRR Brandy (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle).

I'm in Nsw too so easy to send me the sample.

[tl5612]

all that springs to mind is this ale.

[seventh son]

How about "Captain Ginger" or "Sailor Ginger".

Just kidding....I got nothin.

[PeteB]

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

Ginger-Spiced Rum..... I believe Tim Minchin had something to say about this.....http://youtu.be/KVN_0qvuhhw

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.

Very Cool Pete !!!.... Look forward to it ...
