Ingredients for Lockhouse New York Style Fine Gin
Method
Distillation Process
- 1
Prepare the Grains
Begin by mashing the grains in warm water (around 65°C) for about an hour to convert the starches into fermentable sugars. Stir occasionally.
- 2
Fermentation
Once mashing is done, cool the mixture to room temperature, add the yeast, and allow it to ferment for about 5-7 days in a warm, dark place until bubbling stops.
- 3
Prepare Botanicals
While the fermentation is taking place, prepare the local botanicals by lightly crushing them to release their flavors.
- 4
Distillation
Transfer the fermented mixture to a still, add the prepared botanicals, and distill slowly. Collect the distillate, keeping the heart cut (the best quality liquid).
- 5
Infusion with Grapes
Add the Niagara Wine Trail grapes to the distillate and let it infuse for a couple of days to enhance the flavor profile.
