Juniper is rather strong so most London Dry Gins only infuse it in the still or for a maximum of 48 hours before distilling which softens the flavor again.<br /><br />The problem with infusions is that depending on the botanicals your gin will get some color. And when green from herbs, etc. is involved it can turn brown which looks a bit ugly.<br /><br />If you don't distill your infusion I'd suggest using lots of juniper for a short time (max. 24 hours), after that add the botanicals and infuse again. Or just build yourself a still and have a proper gin in less than one hour.Petehttp://www.meticulousmixing.com/noreply@blogger.com
