Gin Tincture Formula (Patreon)

Below is a recipe from the Source Book of Flavours (1981) for a gin recipe that makes roughly 1000 litres. I've reduced it to roughly 750 mL for a small batch gin and for convenience as well as converted it to metric and rounded the numbers. For the tincture reduce the alcohol to 120 mL. There is lots of room to play with, as you can increase or decrease the amounts of any botanical. Currently, the total botanical weight in this formula is 13 grams. I'd keep the botanicals to a maximum of 25 grams total, but you could make even more concentrated gin tinctures if you wish, and it suits your application.

To make the Gin Tincture (4 oz) simply percolate or macerate the botanicals in the recipe below in 120 mL of gin, navy strength is better but 40% abv gin will work well too. You can also cut the recipe in half or double it. 

The recipe attached below also has an essential oil formula (MF316) and I assume it makes 1000L as well. The Source Book of Flavours is a university textbook which hasn't had a new edition in decades and it is a bit wonky with the formulas, and it often doesn't tell you how much a given formula makes. You can back-calculate using ppm if you want.

And if you have any questions, post them below.
