Seeking advice on fermentation of figs

Post by Amir Sarig »

Somehow I managed to put my hands on about 20Kg's of figs,
I want to ferment & distill them for the fun of it.

does anybody have experience of working with this fruit ?
Additions? water? acid? yeast type?
Any advice will be useful.
There are no stupid questions, only stupid people.

They have lot's of natural sugar, and I'm sure there's plenty of nutrients to keep the yeast happy for awhile. I would just add water and a starter yeast and let it go! Add some more sugar if it seems to be slowing down during fermenting.
I'd sooner have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotomy.
