so i harvested some roadside plums... bout 9kg...ive got ec1118 yeast.
if i start a wash with the plums still whole (4.5kg plum, 4.5 kg sugar per 27 litre) can i chop em up in a few days with a paint stirrer? its been said that they will soften if soaked for a while.
otherwise im hand smooshing them in the morn while running some feints.
i know they look a bit green but are sweet to taste and falling off the tree. ive also read that purple plums have a better flavour? happily there is a purple fruit tree next to this one, just not quite ripe yet.
:)) :))
looking foward to this one ..... my first attempt at anything fruity!

I would just let them soften up a few days then tip some hot water in there with the sugar. Let them sit a couple of hours and then go to town with a paint mixer.. Don't wear your church clothes to do this. Then tip into fermenter and top up with water while adjusting temperature. Then throw in the yeast. Stir in the cap every couple of days. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

i think it was from a fruit cherry tree near Young (NSW)... i think it was also from a tree that had been cut and had dried a little before cutting for our use....
