So I got my book today The Artisan's Guide to Crafting Distilled Spirits and the have a base recipe that go some thing like this 100lt mash 70lt of fruit pulp and 30lt of water 115 grams of turbo yeast and let it ferment for 2 to 3 months. What you you guys think about this recipe.

I'd be wary of the information in any book claiming to be an "Artisan's" guide that recommended turbo yeast...

Cheers,
Prof. Green.

Have a read of the fruit and veg section here first mate! It will give you a good idea what to do with fruit. I'd swap turbo out for EC1118 yeast. Ditch the pectin and adjust the PH. I don't reckon any wash should have to sit around for 3 months! :handgestures-thumbupleft:
