Infusion / Maceration vs Distilling - StillDragon® Community Forum
2020年1月3日 · Different botanical compounds release their optimal goodness differently. A lower ABV of alcohol vapor can allow for a softer release than a higher ABV that may draw out more acrid flavors for example. Similarly, extracting the goodness by maceration pulls flavor at a different rate. You can get some pointers by the folks here for sure.

Maceration of Citrus - StillDragon® Community Forum
2014年11月12日 · This worked perfect on an orange. The maceration took no longer than the other way and the orange wasn't harmed (for lack of a better term). I peeled and ate it. It was fine. The only drawback to the entire idea is that it takes a larger vessel to accomplish! I was so sure this wouldn't work, I didn't take a picture of the whole orange before I ...
Any Experince With Carbonic Maceration? - General Discussions …
2021年9月24日 · There may be some benefit to true carbonic masceration (co2 purging) in distillation, primarily due to preservation of volatile organics from the fruit itself (due to the far slower fermentation), and perhaps secondarily in reducing acetaldehyde and other negative oxidation byproducts.
Juniper Maceration - Recipes Discussions on StillDragon® …
2016年6月18日 · Some others distill through the juniper and add the other by maceration. Best commercial gin story I have is from 2014 ADI. Famous master distiller for a rum distillery was there.

Carter Head vs. Boiler - General Discussions on StillDragon® …
I'm not a gin guy by any means, but I had a discussion with a guy who was, and his claim was that different botanicals were better suited towards different techniques, with some botanicals better suited towards maceration in the spirit prior to distillation (with botanicals still in), and others that were not suited towards maceration, and instead should be placed in the carter head.
Still Questions - Steam Boiler, Dephlegmator and Bubble Plates
2019年1月15日 · Are you wanting to do maceration and distill, or are you thinking of 'carter head' designs? After that, I would say that you can run a gin still of 380L to 1000L with 24kW but you may want more for initial heat-up at the larger end . This will also require a big step up in cooling, if water is free or it is cold, your current condenser may work.
Filtration of Gin that has Fruit Extraction using a Soxhlet Extractor
2020年4月3日 · The chemical alternative is a high pH maceration to really degrade the skins, then a pH neutralization. @needmorstuff said: Masceration takes time, space and so i am told is inefficient. I know a raspberry flavoured gin based in the UK takes a month or more to macerate and in my opinion isn't very flavourful...
Developing Gin Recipe - Recipes Discussions on StillDragon® …
2019年1月21日 · There are lots of guys with more experience making gin out there. To answer your question yes. You make your "neutral Gin" and that way you get a clean spirit to heat cycle 1 litre recipe tests with the other botanicals. If you do maceration with the Juniper some of the heavy Juniper oils and tannins distort the flavor of the final macerated Gin.
Vacuum Operation - StillDragon® Community Forum
2021年1月15日 · The project aims to extract flavours from some Amazon's pecial fruits and plants. Extraction is made by maceration in ethanol as solvent. Then we need to recover the solvent and concentrate the flavors, water, etc.. Therefore, besides vacuum chamber, I also need a solvent collector and some cooling system.
