Strawberries

Post by Shine0n »

My friend called me today and told me she had a bunch of berries for cheap, so I went there to take a look and ended up with 40lbs of fresh picked strawberries. My question is about brandy, I see alot about maceration and infusion. I've looked since I got the fruit, not finding alot of helpful Infor on brandy. From what I've read there isn't very much sugar in them. I'm thinking a 10gl ferment for my 2"pot still, will the addition of sugar help or should I go for a low abv and try and capture flavor? To date I've only run corn and sf. But I couldn't pass up the berries so now I'm committed to doing something new. I don't want to waste them or do a not so good run or just flounder, although I could freeze them till I do further research but while I'm researching any helpful advice is welcome. I have a sf ferment almost ready to go and thought about shooting them in the thump keg after foreshots and heads??? Or a shit load of spd and have every chick I know come and party. Lol nah I want to try new and better ways so I myself can progress in this hobby. Thanks
