Amaretto Liquor at Home

 Amaretto 

 I made some Kalua type coffee liquor and now am going to try Amaretto which is almond type liquor. 

I also bought some hazelnuts to try for a Frangelica  liquor


 In video: 

  • 1 cup water 
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup cane sugar 

Bring to boil and cool down 

  • 2 cups vodka 
  • 2 tablespoons of Almond Extract
  • 2 teaspoons of Vanilla extract 

I will halve those amounts so :  

  •  1/2 cup water 
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup cane sugar 

Bring to boil and cool down 

  • 1 cups vodka 
  • 1 tablespoons of Almond Extract
  • 1 teaspoons of Vanilla extract 

I'll need to find a bottle for this to put in 

1 cup = .284 l so bigger than a beer bottle. 

 So overall abou2 2 cups, at a guess.

Liquor Kahlua

 Liquors I bought 1litre of Russian vodka 37.5% proof from Kilbirnie Offie for 50$ I wouldn't mind making a few nice liquors like Frangelica, Baily's and other nice liquors.   Kahlua   1 l  =55$  16%ABV  Followed the recipe on the vid below with 2:1 of sugar: moka coffee aurora blend, 1 cup Fiji raw sugar, 1/2 cup coffee and 1 cup vodka and about 1/2 tablespoon of vanilla extract.  Put into a wine bottle and tried it, quite nice. Apparently around 19% proof.  I'll chill it and try later.  I wanted to make a small batch so I could stretch the vodka further, so use it for other things.  So made around 500ml. equiv of 27.50$ for kahlua Cost - 250ml of vodka =  12.50$ Cost of Sugar, coffee & vanilla extract= 4$ (say) So total cost = 16.50$ So about 60% of branded stuff, since I haven't drunk it or bought it for ages I don't know if its similar, but tastes nice and easy to make     Overall, first crack a...

Dry Hopping to give flavour to home brew extracts 2

 Dry Hopping to give flavour to home brew extracts 2 Tuesday 23, September, 2025  I've made 3 batches with hops now, the last one, a Miners Porter (Bock) is currently maturing in bottles . I'd dry hopped it for 3 days prior to bottling.  The first was a Stout and the hops definitely gave it more flavour, but more sediment.  The 2nd, an APA also had more flavour too, and was more drinkable.  Both I needed to chill first otherwise a bit explosive on opening. Also a bit of residue/debris at bottom of bottle, not sure if yeast or the hops, but I need to leave a little bit in bottom of bottle to not get the sludge. A bit of a pain if the bottle froths up on opening as residue is mixed with the froth, so you get warts and all, hence the chilling of the beer.  I've tried to use the filter I got on the line when decanting to new barrel but the filter mesh is too course and pretty mush lets a lot of the residue through. I've been thinking    Beer Filt...
