Introduction To Basic Gin Distillation

Book excerpt: This is not an advanced guide, or going to be too technical or Scientific, it will be straight forward layman terms, basic fundamentals on creating a quality Gin for the first time, along with analogies to help paint a better understanding. We will cover the parts of the Still and what each part does, The process of Rectifying spirit, The heads, The hearts and the Tails and Maceration. Then we will look at the botanicals, botanical relationships, flavours and how to apply them to recipe building.
