Make the best liqueurs that you have ever tasted!
Be creative & make your own delicious home-made liqueurs that are unrivalled for the richness of their flavour.
Using usually difficult to obtain & expensive essences, the producers of these kits have created liqueur kits to rival chic imports.
With just water, sugar and one of these kits you too can produce a gallon (6 x 75cl bottles) of the most delicious liqueurs at an ABV of approx. 20% in about 3 weeks at a fraction of the ready made cost.
Key elements:
1. Robust rapid fermentation resulting in the complete conversion of sugars into alcohol.
2. pH control for better fermentation & quality.
3. Develops an approximate fruity 20% base which blends well with all types of flavours.
4. The glucose solids provided with the kit impart a smooth finish.
5. Top quality flavours in generous quantities provide great depth.
Tip: when fermenting keep the temperature at the bottom end of the scale to assist in the production of the liqueurs.

Amaretto (Italian Disaronno Style)
£16.40
Amaretto was originally prepared by a widow in 1525 for Bernardo Luini, a pupil of Leonardo da Vinci, to show her appreciation for one of his paintings.
It is said to have seventeen ingredients in all, the bitter almond and apricot flavours blending well to create a liqueur which is a personal favourite.
The kit is sufficient for 6 bottles or a demi john of liqueur, requiring 2 x 1Kg of (preferably) brewing sugar.

Brewing & Winemaking Sugar - 1kg
£2.10More detail and information
This will produce a finer, cleaner & faster ferment.
The sugar is a spray dried glucose (aka dextrose) which dissolves easily in cold liquids to form a syrup and importantly leaves no after taste.
Being 100% fermentable, it promotes fast fermentation & can be used for priming during the secondary fermentation.
It is is highly recommended for use in making beers, liqueurs and wines in preference to household sugar.
Well worth the extra pence per pint or bottle.
