Hi guys,
I'm doing a wash to make some liquers for my non beer/cider drinking friends over Christmas.
I've got a 10L wash going with 2.9kg sugar, OG about 1.120 using triple distilled turbo, liquid carbon and nutrient. It's blooping away nicely. The yeast used should yield approximately 15% alcohol leaving some sugar behind as desired for sweetness.
I've got 3 of those little essence bottles to make a few different flavours, but they're so damn expensive at near $10 a pop. I bought 1 chocolate, blue curacao and a hazlenut.
I'm planning on making a coffee syrup to flavour another one (pretty easy but I wanted to know if anyone has any other suggestions of how to make cheap flavouring strong enough to go into a litre of sugar wash?
Any ideas welcome!
Cheers!
Edit: As discussed with bradsbrew, I'm not distilling... Just doing the first part in the spirit making process but NOT performing distillation.
