guess ill be making some more apple mash...

[drinktofabfabtodrink]

recently started making fruit mashes from free fruit from friends houses. made my first apple mash and it came out of the still with tons of flavor! tasted almost like candy apple... thought id let it sit around for a bit with some cinnamon. apparently a 6" stick of cinnamon in a pint of shine is a bit over kill... to say the least! made a second mash of apples, figured i could dilute it with my second run. i ended up starting over,rather then diluting my first run. ONCE AGAIN i put in farrrr too much cinnamon. apple flavor is a bit harder to taste now... but on a positive note; if i ever have to make a "big red" flavored shine i know what to do... anyone have a suggestion for how much to put in for future runs?
