First Muscadine Brandy

Many like to post about a first successful ferment (or first all grain mash), or first still built/bought or first good run of the still. Tell us about all of these great times here.

First Muscadine Brandy

Post by Tito »

I have a freezer full of Muscadines/Scuppernongs and am looking to make my first brandy. One question i have is about the wild yeast. I plan on using Montrachet...will i need to worry about the wild yeast at all? I will be using Ga Flatwoods recipe, but was curious if any body has macerated finished product on crushed grapes for color/flavor or if oaking was perferred? Thanks

I also have a good bit of frozen grapes from 2016 and 2015. Would they be suitable for use?
