Quick and diry guide to fermenting fruit - cider and wine
Someone said that orange doesn’t ferment well so naturally, I’m going full send. I bought a mandolin and chain mail glove as recommended by someone on a comment from the lemon wine post. That’ll be in tomorrow so today I’m making a yeast starter for the orange brandy.
this makes me want to try using grapefruit without doing anything about the pith
There's a great way to get the juice of the grapefruit without getting any of the pith, try looking for the grapefruit technique on YouTube
One way to find out how it turns out! I’m usually big into trying terrible ideas (mmm flamin hot Cheeto fermentation) but sadly grapefruit is one of those flavors I can’t get behind no matter how many times I try lol
