I have been using Zymurgy Bob's gin extract as I can adjust the amount of gin-ness to suit my taste. I like a gentle gin. For those people who like a stronger gin you simply add more extract. That might be something else to consider for your gin adventures.

A little process I found useful was to scale my recipe down and macerate the base/common botanicals separately in 200ml jars (don't re-distill them). I could then taste each one individually and then blend them to my taste. When I found a ratio I liked I could then scale the recipe back.
I think I had 5 jars - juniper, coriander, angelica root, orris root and liquorice.

I have a bottle of extract that I made last year (In my little air still) and while it seems to be less strong than when first made I just use a little more if I want more Gin-ness. I made an interesting "gin" extract with szechuan peppers rather than juniper berries as well.
I have made ink gin, ruby gin and blood orange gin using the extract.
I have a batch of extract waiting to be distilled now. This time I macerated the botanicals and then strained them and reused them in another batch. I will see how this one turns out.
