So I have been thinking about making a Dragons Milk Clone, which features 2 oz of Jim Beam in the bottling bucket. I was thinking about skipping it and experimenting instead. What do you all think about a Gin Ale? I figure Gin is already pretty dry and bitter, so I was thinking a light, smooth, and caramelly grain bill would do well.
12 lbs 2-row
2 lbs flaked corn
1-2 lbs crystal 20
.5 oz sterling @ 60
.5 oz glacier @ 15
.5 oz coriander @ 15
.5 oz grains of paradise @ 15
Yeast: Nottingham or WLP001
2 oz gin in bottling bucket
I made the recipe according to how I like my gin, and that is in tonics. The coriander gives it the slight citrus taste and the grains of paradise adds to the spiciness of the gin. The flaked corn gives it a light and crisp flavor while the crystal 20 gives some caramel tastes. I want it to ferment clean so nottingham or WLP001 would suffice, I think.
Any thoughts??
