Re: newfoundland lemon gin?
Did you do the origional recipe that you posted? Did you top the water off to 5 gallons? What was the starting gravity?
Lots of questions lol....

Re: newfoundland lemon gin?
Why the 60 minute boil? There's no hops in the recipe. Also, that's an awful lot of decimal places for your s.g. readings. What sort of device are you using to get that kind of accuracy?

Re: newfoundland lemon gin?
looks good bro.
the one I remember from being a kid seemed lighter then that though. I wonder if out around home they just used sugar? or maybe a much smaller amount of molasses. I think I may eventually give this a go by your recipe. Thanks for sharing it up bro...
