My first try at the panty dropper recipe...going for strawberry, strawberry/peach mix, peach, and pineapple...on my second sugar bath, and will be mixing and straining soon. The peach one liquor I took off is separating into light and dark and I'm not sure why? Any thoughts as to why this is happening are welcome!.
They all smell great, and I'm looking forward to cutting them down to about 20% and testing out the tried and true recipe:)

Re: Tried and true panty dropper recipe(s)
It’s probably from the oils in the skin, which when macerated are washed into the spirit. The oils will give you more flavor however. But as they coalesce it will introduce a cloudiness and it will tend to stratify in the jar, especially larger jars.ndrethma wrote:...The peach one liquor I took off is separating into light and dark and I'm not sure why?

Here’s an interesting read about peach brandy...it may give you some ideas: http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopi ... 0#p7289299
Often times, macerated fruits will be a little cloudy. One solution would be to rerun through the potstill. Another would be to cold filter. But maybe serving in a frosted glass is the best answer....YMMV.

Thanks for the reply...kinda figured something like that, but always helps to get a second opinion! It smells great, I suspect is going to taste even better:)

You can use bentonite to clear the sediment but it may remove some of the flavors as well, cold rash in will help as will gelatin.
