I did 3-4 weeks but that is because I forgot about it. I'm pretty sure all the flavour was in it after a week max. Edit: It's drinkable straight, so just make it to taste and then if you like it after 3, 4, 7, 14 days - then you know how long for to brew it for.

OneLittleFish Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 The Parma violet gin is a revelation. The kiwi, passion fruit and lime rum is a little tart so sweetening it just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So tempted to take the top off and try it, but I'm holding off! Glad it's at my folks, only tempted once a week this way.

Mezhyp1 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 I've left Pineapple gin for like 6/7 months before and it's fine, it's better with a ripened pineapple tho to really get the flavour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokesy10 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Good evening people. I've read a few differing opinions on how long to leave raspberries infusing in gin. Some say 3 weeks some say longer. I'm excited and want to start it this weekend - with 10 weeks til Glasto, is that too much? Will it ruin it? Or will it enhance it?

p.pete Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 On 4/8/2017 at 3:01 PM, Scruffylovemonster said: From recipes I'm following, most seen to be three to five weeks. A couple are less than a week but they tend to be herb or spice ones. Pineapple is three months ish. At a guess if you cut or mashed the plums Id say a few weeks should be fine as the insides are soft. Disclaimer: I've never done this before so no idea how my pineapple Gin will taste yet. : 3 months! Crikey, just started my Gin&pineapple last night. I may have to run the lot through a nutri-bullet nearer the festival and just keep the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.pete Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Does anyone not filter their concoctions before consumption? Previous years when I've added things like limes I've just left them in, nice to have some highly bitter / highly alcoholic fruit to chew on when you get near the bottom. I'm usually concerned about wasting precious booze that's been soaked up by whatever I'm infusing it in too. This year I've stuck a load of ginger in two of my concoctions - one I'll then mix with limes, the other honey. I'll probably take the ginger out first, but does anyone else have any ingredients that they don't bother filtering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of a nutri-bullet I may try a coffee cafetiere then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
