Grappa attempt

Post by absinthoman »

Hi again folks,

I'm new to this forum but I've been reading for a while. There's not too many topics about grappa in here. I just had 30Kg of frozed white grapes pomace 2 days ago. I planned to make grappa with it. I just wanted to know if what I planned to do is ok :

Mash
First, I'll weight 7,6Kg of pomace and add 7,6 litres of boiling water. Then I'll liquify everything in a blender. After that, I'll pressure cook for 20-30 minutes. Then add 1,5-2Kg of white sugar and top out with ice cold water in a glass carboy and bubble sterile air for 15 minutes with a air pump. I'll use a starter made from one 5gr pack of EC-1118, sugar and white grape juice.

Distillation
I'll strip run the mash with the residual pomace as fast as I can (with a metal colander in the bottom of the pot). Then I'll do a second distillation with my 10 litres copper pot still.

How does it sound??Any suggestions?
