Making Gin in a Still with a Thumper Keg | In The Welsh Wind Distillery

This time at In the Welsh Wind Distillery, I'll be showing you how we make most of the gins for our customers. We use the multi-shot gin distillation method, which means we make a super concentrated botanical distillate which is then cut back with neutral grain spirit and deionised water to bring the gin down to the correct alcohol concentration, and up to the correct liquid volume. I'll be working with Meredith, a 50L copper pot still with a thumper keg. So let's get distilling.

Absolutely fascinating. Thanks. As someone who rather likes an occasional gin and tonic (especially in summer!) this was so interesting to watch.

hey from Nova Scotia, another great vid I enjoy seeing all of the ways a seemingly boutique distillery uses their equipment.

[blakemichaelson]

Great videos! Please keep them coming! Any chance you can further explain the filtration process prior to bottling? Thanks for publishing these!

[ianhui]

Another great video. Love it. Looks the process is easy with simple ingredients. One day might try to distill my own gin. More technical info. please.

Great video! Love the content and your style. Thumbs up!

[peterfinlay]

Hey loved the video . Ive made my own still and am still on a massive learning curve .im wondering what NGS is could you please explain it to me . Thanks

[MrPovsklada]

Hi!!! Cool video! How much time do you spend getting 18L of concentrate?

[chiquitacabeza]

Hi Brewbird! I have a question. If you fill the boiler with 50 liters at 40% abv, that means you put 20 liters of alcohol (ball park numbers). If you collect 18 liters of destillate… you only waste 2 liters of alcohol in tails? That a pretty efficient and impressive!

[StevetheBartender_]

Interesting vid! Where did you purchase Meredith from and what is your multi-shot ratio?

[agustinprestia]

Of the 50 liters at 40% abv, how much are heads, hearts and tails at the end? because I am doing it with a 3 liter pot and it is very cloudy.

Hi Brewbird, thanks a lot. What do you think about the results of one-shot or multishot gin? is the result similar in flavor/taste? Warm regards!

[pranea]

Hi!!! Congrats!! I absolutely love your videos! I was just wondering, at the end of the video you point that your co-worker will filter the gin up, but in wouldn't that take away flavors and aromas? I'm confused, i supposed to filter my gin after i finish distilling it? The info i get on the web says NOT! Help

Мне тоже видио понравилось, спасибо большое, но я могу только читаю комментарии в переводе гугла. Можно кратко описать засыпь? какие вы положили ингредиенты и количество спирта. Спасибо

[madspeed]

Mind sharing who made your still? I'm interested in something very similar

[lukeoskam]

What proportions of NGS to RO water are you using to cut? Why would one use NGS to cut in the first place? Thanks!

سلام
من خیلی به ساخت مشروبات خونگی علاقه دارم اما متاسفانه اما جایی دنیا اومدم که درست کردن نوشیدنی مساوی هست با مرگ شما میتونی بهم کمک کنی؟

[stephanimbeault]

Can you tell me where you guys get the tea bags you are using please

[MrErikb]

Not what I expected :(. Was really hoping for a non-neutral base and the herbs in the thumper, now you are just making an infusion.

[smrettpecca]

hey from I don't like GIN! not just because of it's taste, more likly it's the easiest and cheapest way start a still! Wake me up when you produce sloe brandy or single malt whisky. ;) :) if we talk about distilling as a craftmanship, we definatly don't talk about gin!
