"Still with a dunder charge in the thumper. Umm, for me that would be all 4 of my thumpers
At your version of barrel strenth add your ingrediants and let steep for???
Then dilute and add a tea spoon of molassas if you've a mind too.
Keep in mind that finished abv should take into account all ingredient additions.
In a 3 liter jug filled 2/3 with 65%abv from a multi generation dunder ferment.
2-alligator chared white oak sticks
zest of one orange
4 or 5 dried appricotts
4 or 5 dried pineapple chucks
tea spoon of black tea
tea spoon of black pepper corns
1/2 tea spoon vinilla extract
Let it sleep for...............how long can you wait?
I dilute to proof and add the bit of molassas.
Then let the jellyfish settle (in the fridge) for a bit and strain through a double coffee filter.
Mine does not taste like Captain M's,,,,,,Thankfully.
Lots of ways to add your own take. One of the best parts about this hobby.
My feeling now is that I really do not want my likker tasting like a store bought."
