I used to run persimmon brandy every couple years or so. Those were just wild fruit trees growing in the mountains. Biggest thing I remember about is you dont use them until they hit the ground, then you had to gather them quick. Persimmon in the tree was too sour and would damn near give you lock ...

I have made persimmon wine & brandy. Time is its best friend with both drinks. Fermentation was slow and messy (over 100 pounds). Wasnt able to get a SG reading since the fruit is so stringy. Most of the barrel would not clear enough to be wine & had an odd taste to it. That is what I cooke...

I know the fruit well, they are usually very sweet and soft when ripe. I have not distilled persimmons (except some with apples) but I think they have a good yield in alcohol, but the flavor I think is very light. i agree they have very light flavour. So, If some one can tell me which way to distil...

What variety of persimmon? I like fuyu persimmons for eating but the other kind would probably work better for distilling as it is sweeter and soft. Its called as sweet persimmon here. I noticed there is two three type is available here. I am not very well aware of verities, just bought from on lin...

perfect, its very less acidic. I think need to balance the PH by adding lemon/citric acid. Thanks for remembering this point!!

I noticed know-one has commented on your post. I had to look up persimmon as I am not familiar with the fruit. Keep us posted on how you distill it and the recipe you used. I am in S.Korea now a days and this fruit is cheap,sweet also having very unique light and wonderful flavour. I will definitel...

Tasting good, very molassesey, a bit harsh compared with my cachaça runs i found very interesting product here in Korea. its high molasses sugar, basically its have about 70 % sugar and rest molasses. So, i thought it would be better to s...

Ravi, I got a rough price to ship you a barrel and it would cost $70aud with a 10lt barrel costing $230 I would expect it to cost $300 for the barrel. That's $262907 KRW. That's double the cost of the China one so it's up to you if you want to try. I know I would struggle to justify paying double b...

They are $220 AUD for a 10lt $187530 KRW How much is the made in china one? with delivery to Korea in 125,000krw. did not ordered yet though.... Yeh that is similar to that my made in chine cost. What is your country like with importing wood? I could look into sending one over if your interested an...

How much is the made in china one?

with delivery to Korea in 125,000krw. did not ordered yet though....

Only 4 to 5 liters of low wines from a 21 liter wash? You’re either leaving some of the goodness in the boiler, or dumping it down the drain. I would expect to collect at least 6 to 7 liters of low wines from 21 liters of wash, ie - roughly 1/3 of the wash...that is if you run deep enough into the ...

also pls share your link of seller

You can add Gin baskets, Sight glasses, Parrots, Bubble plates etc as well.
