Hi there from...

Post by Transatlantic »

..somewhere in Europe where home destillation is highly illegal. :ebiggrin: As you might expect I don't care about that and I have no bad conscience. :ewink:

I'm a moonshiner for about 3 years. I'm using a 5l potstill to usually create fruit-brandies from rare/wild fruits, eg. old pear cultivars, sloes, wild damsons and so on. I just registered to (maybe) add some useful hints for other fruit-freaks. :wink:
Oh btw: To look beyond one's own nose I just started a "Birdwatcher's sugar wash" with bakers yeast. My first try with that, I usually use destillers yeast for fruit mash. IMHO it gives the best result fermenting fruits and also provides quite decent amount of alcohol when adding additional sugar.
