Scorched Brandy

Postby codieb » Sun Apr 27, 2014 12:37 pm

Hi All, I tried to make some apple and peach brandy which i fermented on the fruit, I didn't strain it properly when transferring it into the boiler and scorched the brandy. It tastes like burnt ass hair. I was thinking of running it through the reflux still and making neutral out of it, has anyone tried doing this? Any chance this will clean it up? Or should i just biff it out and take it as a learning lesson?

Not sure you could save it but it'd be worth a try, at worst you'll end up with a burnt arse hair vodka for the inlaws :handgestures-thumbupleft:
