Probably a stupid question...

Post by Boozehound »

...but what would you get if you pot distilled fruit juice? No alcohol involved, just juice.

Do you just get water or would it have any flavours?

Cheers.

You'll definitely get things other than water to come over. I imagine you'd end up with something that tasted like watered down fruit juice.

depending on the type of juice and it's boiling point, you'd either get water or concentrated juice out of your worm, probably water.... and the other in your boiler..... I think you'd concentrate the juice, one way or the other.
