I'm pretty excited to finally give it a go! The first attempt didn't go quite according to plan. But I think I got it almost dilled in for the second. Here is the recipe I would recommend: 1 L of Neutral / Vodka (0.26 gal) Peel of 2 oranges 6 g of dried naval orange peel 1/2 teaspoon bigger orange powder Macerate for 1-3 days Distil taking around 115ml of heads then hearts down to around 55-60 % ABV. If you are worried about louching at 40% abv you may want to cut this resulting distillate with a little more neutral while proofing it down and adding sugar. I found these proportions to work well. 1 part orange essence (that you just distilled) 0.5 part vodka 0.7 Part 1:1 sugar syrup 0.4 part water This should land you around 40% abv ============================= Popular Series ============================= Safety Net Want to jump into all grain but worried about the process or the amount of gear you need?
