Liqueur Limoncello, or Italian "mezim"

[Ikra]

Ikra
don't be afraid of the Italian mafia - we won't give offense to our ideological-limonne inspirer

And today I filtered the second batch:

[irysska]

irysska , Thank you! I follow you like a stone wall!
I see the bottles from under Morosha, I'm glad. By the way, I really like the bottle itself, it's so clever. It is convenient to put it in the freezer.

And today I filtered the second batch:

Irina, what did you filter through? Cloudy at first. After how much is it clarified?

Girls, even with my brains in the evening ... I just can't figure out how much for a liter of vodka sugar needs 400 ml or 800?

[Tanyush]

Tanyush, duc 800 ml. ...

Yeah, exactly 800 ml

I went to measure

Girls, wait, like 800ml, and I took 400ml of sugar for 1 liter of vodka ... What is it, I’ll get it wrong now? Today my husband tasted and liked the limoncello very much.

[Ikra]

Ikra, well tell you, how is it right? If instead of 300ml of water + 500ml of alcohol, as in the recipe, you take 800ml-1l of vodka, then how much sugar should you take?

[Ikra]

Ikra, well tell you, how is it right? If instead of 300ml of water + 500ml of alcohol, as in the recipe, you take 800ml-1l of vodka, then how much sugar should you take?

Why is there so much water (800)?

Kamusichek, and where did you see 800ml of water there?

Kamusichek, and where did you see 800ml of water there?

, it's time to sleep. You wrote 800ml-1l, and I interpreted it in my own way.

And I, too, was tempted and yesterday I made the 2nd portion. Just in time for March 8 will ripen

girls, what if you use a very clean moonshine instead of alcohol? the soul does not lie to alcohol. somehow you are sick with our alcohol ... maybe they wrote about the moonshine here, of course, I didn't see it.

D - the amount of alcohol before dilution,%.

P is the amount of alcohol after dilution,%.

The table values ​​are the volume of water in% of the diluted volume of the solution with the alcohol concentration according to the D value in%, which must be added in order to obtain the diluted solution with the desired alcohol content in% (P value).

For example, we need to get a solution with an alcohol content of 40% (as in vodka) and we have an initial solution with an alcohol content of 95%. According to the table, we look at the initial solution by the value of D and look at the solution that we want to obtain - by the value of P. At the intersection of these values ​​we see the volume of water - 144.4%, which we add to the original solution and get a solution with a strength of 40% or 40ο ...
girls, I use this plate to achieve the desired degree, very accurately !!!!

If you are asking me about sugar, then I will say this: I am already completely confused
The sugar in this product is variable because it depends on your personal taste.
For two bottles of vodka I took 300 ml of water for the last time, and 800 ml of sugar. But we are sweet. You can sugar and less - 700, 600 ... Men, however, say: "Sweet", but when they start to make themselves, they still put in a lot of sugar, motivating that "but I can't forget!"
In general, as Stanislavsky said in "Theatrical novel": "But do as you like!"

[Ikra]

Ikra, in general, today my mother came to me, tasted limoncello, took the recipe, said that the sugar was just right and went to make the same for herself, with the words: "By March 8, it will just be ready" My proportion: 400 ml of sugar + 100 ml of water + 700ml of vodka, well, 6 lemons. For myself, next time I can add a little sugar and add.

Irina, what did you filter through? Cloudy at first. After how much is it clarified?

To me on you
Filtered through 4 layers of gauze.
I won't say exactly how much it clears, but this portion, which is in the photo - the sediment is already settling, has become a little more transparent.

And for my taste, half the sugar rate is the thing - not cloying, but not sour either.
I took 400 ml of sugar per liter of vodka, and 300 ml of water

Well, I’m saying: do as you like, your mothers, husbands. We are not in production, but at home, and special standards are not important to us. It is important that there is a recipe that you can start from and modify it to your liking.

Irina, you didn’t answer whether it is possible to replace alcohol with moonshine, did you have such an experience ???

[alenka_volga]

alenka_volga , sorry I did not answer right away. No experience, never tried moonshine at all
So I don't even know what it tastes like. But try at least a half serving first, so as not to spoil a lot of food. From a glass of alcohol, plus syrup and lemons, you get a full bottle of the drink, you can taste it properly and understand how well it turned out. And tell us

thanks for the advice!

To me on you

Thank you, Irina! It's time for the "child" to be born, I will filter.

girls, if you want to get a product without sediment, you need to cut off the bottom of a liter plastic bottle, fill the neck with cotton wool, not very tightly, and filter in this way. I guarantee the complete absence of sediment.

Well ... Now I go and interfere and try, interfere and try ... And he still needs to insist 10 days

[Summer resident]

Summer resident, and right! The process must be controlled

And it seemed to me that after 2 weeks of settling the finished product, it became sweeter. Can this be?

Flax, the extra bitterness and fusel oils just went away, the taste became softer, and therefore sweeter. I think so.

[Ikra]

Ikra,
Ir, maybe the bitterness is gone, but I didn't feel fusel oils anyway. I think that in this case you can add less sugar, I just liked the bitterness very much.

I’m thinking - I have an inexpensive, but crystal vodka (it was bought in a crystal store, but not useful) - it can stir up with it, why stand then What do you think?

[Linen]

I’m thinking - I have an inexpensive, but crystal vodka in my store (it was bought in a crystal store, but not useful)

And what kind of vodka is this, eh, Linen

You can make a lemon light, or you can throw in some other berries. And you can make a juniper, it turns out not worse than gin. You open the bottle, pour your husband a small glass (30 grams), and throw dried juniper berries into the vacant place to the lid. It is better to take berries that are sold in the form of spices, and not pharmacy ones. The latter are more dry and give a yellowish tint. But in the absence of the first, they will do, if the color does not interfere. It practically does not affect the taste. insist the same 2 weeks.

[Caviar]

Caviar
but with juniper berries it will taste like - what does it look like?
and how many berries to sprinkle on 0.5? interesting to try

[irysska]

irysska,
Ir, the producer of vodka plant Crystal

[irysska]

irysska, I wrote everything above - it will look like gin. It is so easy for boys to drink, with a tonic for girls.
Pour in enough so that the berries (they are light and will float), cover all the free space in the neck of half a liter, when a glass is heated from it, pour it to the eyeballs. Gradually, the berries (they also need to be churned out, kept in a dry, cool, dark place) will sink into vodka. After 2 weeks, a good result will be obtained.
By the way, this method can correct any "tasteless" vodka Not low-quality, but which seems to be nothing, but did not go somehow ... I do not know what the criteria are, because I don't drink vodka myself, but my husband sometimes "tasteless"))))

[Caviar]

Caviar
that's how I read it carefully
thanks for explaining, maybe I'll try

Irina, I've filtered the limoncella, we'll taste it on Saturday! It turned out a little more than a liter.

[Merri]

Merri , from half a liter? Something like it should have been. Happy tasting!

Yes, Ira, from 500 ml of alcohol. Everything is as written in the recipe.
I have already applied, I hope the guests will like it, but not like it, so even better - there will be more!

I'm afraid to upset you, but ... will not get it ... Guests - they are!
(A friend made from lemons and oranges, for testing. Guests came, poured a glass ... "No, not that!" ... And they sentenced 2.5 liters in one sitting. So I know their breed! ..)

And I got more than a liter. Probably the lemons were larger and juicier. I baked the cupcake from the extraction three more times, the recipe was settled, ready to lay out

[Giraffe]

I get about 1.25 liters, plus / minus for juiciness.
Giraffe, the recipe, of course, come on, otherwise I have a "cake" in the refrigerator takes place

[Giraffe]

Giraffe, recipe, of course come on

Also abouthu !!!

my "cake" in the refrigerator takes place

Me too ...

[hu]

Also abouthu !!!
Me too ...

I get about 1.25 liters, plus / minus for juiciness.
Giraffe, the recipe, of course, come on, otherwise I have a "cake" in the refrigerator takes place

What are you!
And when I asked what to do with the technical waste, they told me to throw it away!
So I had to put Limoncello again in order to put the technical waste into business this time,: secret: just for the sake of this.

I read the whole topic for a long time, licked my lips, today I finally made up my mind! Exactly by March 8 it will ripen. In the meantime, I'll think about recipes from cake ...

[Piano]

Piano, welcome to our discordant but soulful ranks!

Eh, and when it's already February 23

[Ikra]

My husband and I had something like communion with the liquor. After 3 weeks of aging, the taste becomes more and more multifaceted (oh, how bent)
Today we bought more lemons per serving. Ikra, it's time to create a topic about coding for alcoholism. We are from a family "not drinking enough" into a family "regularly tasting limoncello".

Girls, I didn't want to ... I didn't even suspect that everything would turn out like this!
