clearing Mango pulp

Postby colsmename » Thu Oct 17, 2013 6:16 pm

Hi,
Does anyone have ideas of how to make a nice drink out of mangoes?, Ive read that I can use a clear rum based spirit, and roast them, then macerate them in the rum, but I've tried this,and I just cant get the pulp out, it won't strain out, and no matter how much I beat the hell out of it in the blender it still has that thick pulpy floaty stuff at the top. The taste is good though :-D .

Any ideas?

use some paper towels and as a filter. cheap and effective and the holes aren't as fine as a coffee filter so it wont take as long. its similar to cheesecloth. after doing it 2 times, if you still don't find it clear enough then go with a coffee filter.

Use mangoes for liqueur base at Xmas...

best I've found is cheese cloth, tied and a phone book to stand on... fits well inside the large beer stockpot.

If it were me, I would ferment the mangoes and run em thru the still instead of macerating them.... but thats just me ;-)

:handgestures-thumbupleft: :D :D And yes the dyson does come in real handy :handgestures-thumbupleft:
I'm just waiting on 6 x200l fermenters from Brisbane,getting ready for 2013 crop of mango's and lychees.
The best way I've found is to fill the fermenter a 1/3 full of fruit,dump some sugar in,add warm water,dose with yeast and let it rip. Mix cap in every day or 2 :handgestures-thumbupleft: :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Oakes or white,it won't last long :D
