apple brandy from concentrate

[steve541]

I am attempting to make apple brandy from frozen concentrate. I started with 12 12oz. Frozen aplle juice concentrate from aldi's all naturall no preservatives. 12 pounds of sugar, 2 tablespoons of DAP, 3teaspoons acid blend and 1 teaspoon pectic enzyme. Mix apple con. And sugar with acid blend pectic enzyme and DAP with 2 gallon boiling water to disolve sugar top with cool water to 6 gallons or when hydromeetr reads a PA of 15% the add 2 packets ec1118 . I di this last night and it was happily fermenting away in hours. Once it ferments dry my plan is to run this through my detuned 2" mile hi column. Then age one oak a bit. Any comments or sugestions? I decided to try this because the apple concentrate was only. 99¢ and sugar was only 6$ .

Hey there steve!! The only tip I can offer...is that according to the guys here who run apple...the flavor for it is the heads side. So.this is where you'll want to look for those fruit flavors. ie., dont' cut it too lean.

steve, there is a google search function built into this site! Look up to the right...HD Google Search. This prefaces your google search so it only searches within these forums. Gives good, focused results.

midnight maraude rather than use that method that I also used at first you can bookmark it and then easily retrieve from your user control panel. The bookmark is found at the bottom of the page while the user control panel is found at the top.

Thanks for the advie n help. This site is a bit overwheming with information . I've tried the search but i always get too many words matching or something like that. I LOVE this site.
As for this batch its fermenting away still. Im also waiting on a batch of "palatable wines for palatablespirts"

Tried this recipe out last night, but my SG was 1.14 when I filled it to six gallons. Ended up splitting into two carboys and adding a little cane syrup to each to bring it to 11gallons total, with a SG of 1.08. Pitched with redstar Pasteur champagne yeast

Good luck mandilin. Please share results. I'm dealing with a stuck.fermentation on mine. I tried adding more ec1118 but still not moving any further down. Temp is good its right next too a sugar mash with the same yeast. Anyone have any ideas?

[steve541]

Damn I've been away too long. I dont remember this run.
