After recieving my  Pharmacuetical Grade Sceletium Tortousum Powder from madtowntripper I started thinking.  Hey this stuff would probably kick ass in neros Absinthe.  I mix a lil in my coffee and it goes with it nicely.  And the active constitutes are alcohol saluable.  So nero would you mind throwing some in the next go?  By the way good lookin stuff I wanna try it....Can I please? :beer:

I think if i have time today i might resolve to distill it on the stove with a ghetto heating mantle rig and jdust pack the distillign column with choreboy. It's not that long of a column so the # of theoretical plates will be very low but it doesn't matter. We'll see what happens.

I must say, USE EVERCLEAR WHENEVER POSSIBLE.  I added the wormwood yesterday morning and expected to wake up this morning to a brownish green (more brown than green) mixture.  To my surprise its a very clear green.  Ill try to get a digital camera to take some pictures.  I hope the other herbs dont dirty the color up, but if they do, I can't say I wont still use it  :grin:

Same here, I used everclear (190proof) and it's a light green. Since the wormwood actives are insol. in water and sol. in alcohol, I used .75L everclear to soak the wormwood. In the directions, it said some of the ingredients were only soluble in water, I will add .25L water after I strain out the wormwood, bringing volume to 1L total. Then I'll add the other stuff and give it a few more days.

There are way better recipes than the ones that come with the kit or are suggested with the kit. But if you don't have the time it still works fine.

I tried a glass of it before I added the additional herbs, so it was just wormwood, and it is very bitter. Even with ice, sugar, and 2/3 water, I couldn't finish it. I think the other ingredients will help out a lot, but I'm sure it will still be pretty bitter.

Kill it with anise... (tastes like ouzo mixed with bile that way)

are you preparing your glasses right?

Adding water and sugar?

You can make it better by distilling it, but most home makers of absinthe don't do it and get by just fine.

I'd be interested how that cron helps the mixture. I'm sure it will give an added kick, and who knows, almost anything can improve the taste.

So is there any reason other than the historical value of adding the rest of the herbs (everything apart from the wormwood)? I mean, can you just leave the wormwood in it for 4-6 days, filter it out, and then try to make a drink with it any way you can? Those specific herbs don't add any psychoactive aspect to the drink right?

I plan on using the herbs this time, but next time, i was thinking of just getting some wormwood, soaking it in the everclear, and trying to make a drink from there. this time im thinking about using rose's lime juice, and who knows, maybe lemonade, in addition to the herbs, water and sugar cube? Is there an important reason not to add whatever you want to it as long as its soaked with the wormwood? Have those other herbs really been tried and true as the best way to mellow out the bitterness of absinthe? i mean, those recipes are damn old no?

>>Subject: Re: Makin' Absinthe So is there any reason other than the historical value of adding the rest of the herbs (everything apart from the wormwood)?

Not really, there's several different ways to make absinthe, but most commonly it involves some sort of licorice flavoring agent like chicoree root or licorice root or star anise. But in general the herbs vary from recipe to recipe but the end result is still a licorice (jegermeister) flavored drink. Other than that you can really do whateve ryou want with the wormwoodized alcohol but you couldn't call it "absinthe" i suppose.

The other herbs depending on what you add can add some psychoactive value to it but i'd say it's negligible. drinkabinsthe.com 's kits come with calamus rhizome. Calamus rhizome contains some various TMPEA's and *could* add psychoactive value but in a solution this large it's not even noticable.

So yeah you could do whatever you want with the wormwoodized everclear/vodka or whatever.

>>is this the kind of distilling that can be done with a pressure cooker. and a Tube?. Cause i think weve all got those??

I've been thinking about that. I used glassware simply because I've got it. I would have taken a picture but i couldn't find batteries to my cam, and i still can't, so i can't even take a picture of the resulting liquid.

I've been thinking about trying to design a tek that uses modifications to a pressure cooker, like putting a tube where the weight should go, but then there's the problem of controlling and measuring the temperature and just how much pressure builds up in the cooker while there's steam coming out of the tube.

So for now i'm not too sure what to do, but the idea of using a PC and a tube has come to mind. When i have some time i'll run some experiments with some sample distillation liquid mixes like vodka and water etc... if nobody else tries it first.

cool, thanks for the info neuro.

when you describe it as jagermeister (though i realize it won't be as sweet as the liqueur) it makes me want to try root beer with it. I don't know if any one has every tried jagermeister with root beer (likely not), but its an surprisingly awesome combo (trust me, i thought it sounded sick before i tried it, but it really goes well together, even if you don't like jagermeister/licorice flavor).
