I was thinking of doing something I have never done for summer and making some apple brandy. I don't have a fruit grinder or proper press so I was thinking of cheating and using apple juice bought from the supermarket.
I am wondering if anyone has done this and did it turn out a success. I was thinking of using wine yeast but not sure how much sugar to use with apple juice and if I should add water as well.
I want to do a 40 litre ferment or maybe even 60 litres if I can get juice cheap enough.
If anyone has some tips or experience with this method I would appreciate to here what they have to say, even better would be if someone has a recipe for this method to follow if they are willing to share it.
I know the general rule of thumb with fruit washes is 1 kg of fruit/ 1 kg of sugar/ 5 litres of water;
But have no idea of ratio if I'm using store bought apple juice.
