Quick and diry guide to fermenting fruit - cider and wine
Appreciate the mandolin recommendation. Made this go so much quicker and easier. This one is going to be made into orange brandy. In retrospect I should have saved some of the oranges to candy them and toss them into the end product but depending on how lazy I get the next few weeks, I might end up doing just that.
Are you boiling them? Why?
Usually I don’t boil fruits or anything. I did with my lemon wine (it turned it a dark brown color) because I had a gallon too much water in my must. so I boiled the oranges for a few minutes for consistency with my other citrus one. I’ll probably remake the orange brandy without boiling, depending on how the distillation goes.
