You can always put it in to taste but you can't take it out

I normally only use 4oz so it can be drunk in the summer with lemonade as a long refreshing drink and I add 1 teaspoonful when I fill the hip flask for the winter,As has already been said suger can be added to taste but cannot be taken out,however you could add more vodka to dry it down a bit......

4oz sugar, 500ml vodka, per 500grams of sloes the suger is to extract the flavour of the sloes add more after 3 months to desired taste

My mate was just saying that it has been a great year for the sloes and most of the bushes are laden with plump jucy fruit.....mmmm

I make several batches and vary between 150 and 200 grams per lt same with the gin. I use several dif vodkas and gins just to have a bit of choice and its more fun trying em out with your mates.

I bought some new white cotton napkins that I use to filter my sloes off, mind you they were only white the first time they were used and they certainly give a clear end result,I just drape them in the funnel and pour through the mix .

We strain the berries off through a sieve and then line the sieve with a doubled piece of kitchen towel roll and strain the liquid through this. Sometimes need to change the paper depending on how many litres you are doing.

go to any beer suppliers to the licensin trade and get beer filters used for draught beers or ask a friendly landlord for a few
