Has anyone used cheap asda gin for sloe gin?
Why would you want to use expensive Gin, you are changing the taste ...
I find there is no need to be too prescriptive when it comes to sloe gin recipes. Fill the demijon half way up with sloes and add 100-400 grams of sugar then fill with gin to the brim. You can add more sugar later to taste if you want. Sloes need to had seen a frost before picking. Dont drink until after xmas.

How long does one leave the sloes in the gin for?
Only advice I’d volunteer is never introduce grated almond into your sloe gin mix jar.

I think the minimum one could get away with is about 3 months, but I leave mine in for at least 12 months…

Nor Kendal mint cake,5 litres doon the drain a few years back seemed a good ideaOnly advice I’d volunteer is never introduce grated almond into your sloe gin mix jar.

Mine was only saved after passing to the Chemistry Department (don’t ask) who lovingly ‘pulled’ it through a pressurised filtration system several times before total separation was achieved.

The longer the better, a nuttyness develops when the flesh falls off the stones and they infuse an almond like flavour, this happens around year 5 or 6.
12 months is about the minimum IMO.
