How to make Gin at home Eddie Shepherd 2023-09-24 | How to make a distilled gin at home using a small copper still, with a recipe you can enjoy and adapt to your own preferences. This gin recipe is distilled in one go and the method kept simple but without cutting corners so that you can go from your raw ingredients to a finished gin in about an hour and a half and have a really great flavourful gin all of your own. I have a great recipe for Gin Chocolate Truffles which I will make a video about and post soon I hope. I take you through the process, flavours and technique but also cover a little about licensing, legality and safety too at the end of the video. Please enjoy sensibly and do further research to make sure you are working legally and safely.

Add the alcohol and botanicals into the still. Gently heat on 50-60% power (be careful and you you may have to adapt for different stills / heaters).Once the temperature in the still reaches 78C the alcohol should begin to distil. Discard the first 10ml of distillation. Then collect the next 600ml of distillation to use to make our gin (increase the tmereature of the still a little if necessary as the distillation progresses). Dilute the the 600ml of collected distillation back down to 40-45% ABV.You should end up with approximately 1 litre of finished gin. You can drink the gin straight away but it will be best once it has been able to settle for 2-3 days ideally.
Liquid Nitrogen Nettle Soup Eddie Shepherd 2023-08-27 | This is my version of a nettle soup that I serve on my tasting menu, using techniques from Japan along with wild ingredients and a modern finishing touch.I make my nettle soup with wild stinging nettles, a Japanese dashi stock made with dried nettles and a hemp miso stock. Using these Japanese inspired techniques I can create lots of savoury umami and depth of flavour, making something much more delicious and moorish that you might imagine from the title 'Nettle Soup'. Then at the table side I finish the soup with whipped oat cream which is smoked over burning pine branches and then frozen in liquid nitrogen and broken into smaller pieces.

How to make salt from sea water Eddie Shepherd 2022-10-30 | I made my own flakey sea salt from sea water! Here I show you the simple process for how you can make your own salt at home. This was inspired by a recent trip to France and the traditional salt farming in Noirmoutier. So when I returned to the UK on a visit to Wales I collected sea water and went about making my own sea salt from scratch.

Then Filter this sea water to remove any sand particles. Reduce the salt water to about 1/6 of its original weight. So 6 litres will be reduced down to 1 litre. Put this concentrated sea water mixture in a low oven or dehydrator - at around 80C for around 8 hours / overnight, until the salt crystals start to form.You’ll see large pieces of salt crystals forming. Gently remove these from the remaining water then finally put this salt back in that low oven or dehydrator for a further couple of hours to just fully dry off the salt. Store as you would any other salt - in a sealed container.

Smoke the vegetables - You can use whatever smoking method you prefer. I tend to use a small handheld smoking gun as I work on a relatively small scale and like the ability it gives you to use interesting unusual smoke flavours. The Botanical Cure (use at 2.85% weight of cooked veg) 70g Salt20g Black Pepper9g Juniper Mix the ingredients and blend to a fine powder. Add 2.85% weight of cooked vegetables at the curing stage and allow to cure in the fridge for 2-5 days. Remove the cured vegetables from the fridge and pat dry.Innoculate with koji spores - Mix 2g koji spores in 30g rice flour and sprinkle this over the cured vegetables. Incubate the vegetable charcuterie at 90% Relative humidity at 30C for 36 hours. Once the vegetables have a fine layer of koji weigh the veg and log its weight, then gently dry it either in a dehydrator or by ear dating until it has lost at least half its weight - even more for a more intense product. Finally optionally marinade the vegetable charcuterie in oil if desired to round out its flavour and add richness.
