Vodka Science

Sunset beer at the new work station. This is how beer drinkers make vodka. #sunsetbeer #vodkascience (at Industry City Distillery)

Using the @thecityfoundry lab’s orbital shaker to speed up the triple pepper infusion. #vodkaScience (at The Lab at The City Foundry)

Last night the #Parsons Devices for inquiry MFA class had their midterm presentations and critique at the distillery. Good times! #drinkicd #vodkascience #tcfshop #tcflab #nerds (at Industry City Distillery)

Wet plate photos made by @hastr683 using #TechnicalReserve for her collodion emulsion and varnish. Check out more of her work at Robynhasty.org #vodkascience #wetplate #ambrotype #tcflab (at Pioneer Works)

The new Technical Reserve site is up! We’ve added a whole new “how-to” section where we’ll be showing you everything from recipes to techniques. Oh and #science, so much science. TechnicalReserve.com #drinkicd #vodkascience #highestproof #TechnicalReserve @tcfnyc (at Industry City Distillery)

Beer steaming some laborday straggler lobsters for lunch today. You cook lobsters in lab ware, right? #lobsterlunch #drinkicd #vodkascience (at Industry City Distillery)

We made a cold extracted #juniper tincture for gin-ing up cocktails. 4 grams of finely cracked juniper berries macerated in 30 ml of #TechnicalReserve on a stir plate yields this gorgeous and potent(!) liquid. Smelling beautifully of juniper but not overwhelmingly medicinal in flavor, it makes a great top note to a cocktail. #drinkicd #vodkascience #bitters #tincture #gin (at Industry City Distillery)

Photo shoot at the distillery today. Pro tip: immobilized cell bio reactors are in next season. #drinkicd #thehair #thedress #vodkascience

Who needs chemicals when you’ve got steam? We stream sterilize our bioreactors and all their parts to completely eliminate contamination in our fermentations. #drinkicd #tcflab #vodkascience #steam
