Fruit

Hey there.

OK, I'm EXCEEDINGLY happy with UJSM (thanks a whole lot for sharing that with us Uncle Jesse)... and have 2 going happily into their 3rd run based on fresh corn, and will be starting a cracked corn one soon having finally found a place to purchase the grain.

However.. I am very keen to push onwards, and try something else. I ended up distilling the UJSM's with my reflux still, with the packing stripped back, which worked very well (well, I think so), giving a very tasty 70-60% product, before I switch to keeping tails.

So what I really want to try next, is a fruit wash, to try out my pot still with. Given a 25 litre wash, how much fruit/sugar should I be looking at. I plan to do a tour of the orchards when I am home for XMas, and was hoping someone could give some recommendations for a first time fruit mash recipe.

The recipes I read in the tried and true section that really took my fancy was a peach one, but I'm not sure I can get hold of peaches cheaply... berries are kinda the most common at this time of year here.

Read through the Mash section, B, there's every fruit you could think of in there.

Whizzed up 180 litres of peaches myself yesterday, and looking forward to trying em in a couplea weeks.
