Cinnamon Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I have just strained my Sloe Gin ready to bottle up for my Chritmas hamper. I had a small sip,for quality control purposes,& its really bitter - not enough sugar in the mix probably Does anyone know if I can add some more sugar at this stage to sweeten it up,or will that be a disaster?

Old Speckled Hen Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 You can add as much as you like at this point. I often make the final adjustments before bottling as my MIL loves really sweet gin and I won't spoil the whole batch hic You could have a small glass for brunch .... quality control, you understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I did the same last night - bottled up 10 bottles of sloe gin, blackberry vodka and raspberry vodka. No visitor last night would have believed that i don't drink! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Great,thanks. I had better pop out & get the shopping & Aubiose before I start,as I see a lot of sipping happening,just so I don't over sweeten it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Mine was the same, it took a small amount of sugar to correct (about a dessert spoon per bottle) without it going like syrup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 It took 8 tablespoons into my big jar & a LOT of testing to get it right. Actually have a bit of a headache today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
