Apples
Posted: Thu Feb 14, 2019 8:40 pm
So i got given a couple buckets of apples the other day. I think they are golden delicous... they weren't very big so it took a bit to core them all. Thought i would have a crack at turning them into something drinkable.
Since i haven't got enough to juice and ferment that way, I've just cored them, chopped up and put in a couple pots on the stove to stew down.
I actually froze them overnight after coring, thought this may help get a tad more flavour out of them? :think:
Once they're stewed im going to put it in a food processor and try and get it to a smooth puree. I'll then water it down with some water which isn't ideal or perhaps some apple juice if i can get some. I'm using ec1118 yeast.
I don't expect a fully flavoured drop with only this amount of apples, but i was thinking of steeping some of it in some apples after its gone through the bubbler... see if i could build on the flavour. This is my thoughts so far and open to suggestions. Just a bit of experimenting really. :handgestures-thumbupleft: 8
