Howdy Everyone

Post by Far Ends »

I am from upstate NY, apple country.
I am looking forward to learning this hobby, I have only done a store-bought apple brandy so far but I am already hooked. I like making things, I like cooking, I like nearly every spirit, and I love chemistry and microbiology. I have a feeling I am going to be with this hobby for a long time.

Howdy back.
I love N.Y. Macintosh Apples. We get them here in WA State believe it or not when the season is right in the fall. The best eating apple but delicate in structure, IMHO.
RE: Apples in storage: the sugars change when stored in the reefer vaults and you can I.D. stored apple because the bloom opens up at the bottom and is not tight.
Mackintosh apple juice ferments naturally in the jug in the fridge, one of my vices when a youth.

If you are into fruit look for posts by a gentleman called Cranky (Oscar the grouch avatar). He has posted a book worth on making fruit handling equipment and various brandies.

Welcome to the forum. I am sure you will have a lot to contribute.
