Ok, i tried my hand at some apple schnapps and it wasn't a success.
Recipe: 13kg blended apples, 8kg of sugar, 80gm bakers yeast and water to bring it up to about 60L,
put it all in the fermenter and waited 2 weeks.
The SG was hard to take as it was a very thick wash so i gave up on that idea and just waited over 2 weeks when i thought it should be ready.
I ran it through the still and collected about 250ml of distillate! hahaha
I guess the yeast didn't end up doing hardly anything? Do i need to add nutrients to a fruit wash?
I dont want to waste all that farm fresh appley goodness so what do u guys think about this?
To try and revive it, i plan to add another 8-10kg of sugar, nutrients some more yeast and more water to make it up to about 80L so i can get 2 ferments out of it. Thoughts?
