Alcotec 5l spirit base kit

[brewster]

Hi

Just bought one of theses kits and it states it makes 6 bottles of 70cl alcohol, you then add the essence which it states is one bottle(20ml essence) per 2 70cl alcohol bottles, however on the essence bottle it states 1 20ml bottle per 70cl of alcohol, this kit makes up to 20% ABV can someone advise me on what i should do please.

If your making six bottles the same flavour then add 3 bottles of essence to the full batch, taste it, add some more if you want a bit more flavour. Just add a little and taste as you go... Or add one essence to two bottles and taste that if your wanting different flavours in different bottles?

Years since I did one of these. Just don't go driving for an hour or two afterwards!

Thanks for that mate, how well did yours turn out, was the flavour good ?

It wasn't one of these I did but I have done ones a long time ago which tasted fine. Peach Schnapps was a favourite with freinds especially with mixers...

I once made a peppermint vodka by adding peppermint flavouring (from the baking aisle in the supemarket) to the spirit base too. People still talk about that party now!
