Pure Distilling Dutch Style Gin Botanicals 80g Home Brew Spirits

Make your own authentic premium Gins! Our thoughtfully curated botanical packs are designed to replicate the distinct flavours of popular gin styles. Ideal for use with a gin basket to craft top-quality gins, mimicking the procedure used in commercial distilleries.

Dutch Style Gin will produce a traditional Dutch Jenever style gin.

Instructions:

• Pour approx. one-third of the botanicals into 2.5L of ~40% ABV spirit and allow them to soak for up to 24 hours. (Note: Soaking in higher-strength spirit, such as 90+% ABV, can extract harsh or off-flavours from the botanicals, so it’s important to stick to ~40%.)
• After soaking, strain out the botanicals and pour the flavoured spirit into your boiler. Top up with cold water to the MAX fill line.
• Place the remaining botanicals into a Pure Distilling Gin Basket and attach it to your condenser.
• Begin distillation. You should collect approximately 2.25L at an average strength of ~40% ABV. The spirit will initially come off at around 70 75% ABV, gradually decreasing as the run progresses. The main hearts cut typically comes off between 30 50% ABV. Stop collecting once the boiler temperature reaches 98 C.

Note: We reference ~40% ABV here because if all collected distillate was combined in one jug, the overall average strength would be close to 40%. However, we recommend collecting in separate fractions heads, hearts, and tails to allow for better control over flavour and quality.
