BonafideGinNut Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Hey there, So I recently purchased a 1000 mL master distillation kit from Pellet Lab to start testing small batches of re distilled spirits with botanicals. I have various botanical bills already laid out, but the amounts for these test batches is where I am a little stumped. Anyone have a good idea what's an appropriate amount of juniper berries for a small batch like this? Thanks so much! Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glisade Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 This will give you a very good starting point: http://homedistiller.org/flavor/gin Make sure you have a scale with very low resolution, something like 0.01 grams Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captnKB Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 amounts will vary dependant of if you plan to vapor infuse or macerate. For maceration on that small of a batch 15 grams or so of juniper berries would be a good starting point for you. +1 on glisades remark. Get a good scale with low resolution as when the day comes you go to scale up your recipe .01 grams will make a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
