I do an additional step. I dehydrate slices of some of the peaches and save them. Once the spirit is made, a few of those slices get added back and sit in the spirit for a few days ( depending on taste). This brings more peach flavour back in to supplement the “character” of the distilled spirit

Honestly, if you really want good peach flavor in a spirit, making a schnapps by soaking peaches in a neutral spirit like vodka is a better option than a brandy, and that's closer to what you are doing with soaking dehydrated fruit. You get direct peach flavor and sugars for a more pleasant liquor. It seems like grain spirits are much easier to control for weird flavors and adding the fruit afterwards is easier.

Ever do this with the germ from inside the peach pit? It's heavily contended as a 'must' by peach jam and preserves makers (some). Has a slight cyanide/almond flavour. You could try your brandy with a drop of a good almond extract to see if you like the neighbourhood before you commit.

You should make amaretto with the pits.

Cheers from Czech Republic, here we use this similiar method for anything from plums to pears and apples. Instead of cutting them you can just mash them in barrel with a bat, ad bit of yeasts and just close the barrel for few weeks (btw: its good to make some one way air escape on top. Otherwise you would have plums all over your basement :D). After that you filter out bigger particles and send it trough destalition process. Ps.: you can put bottle over growing plum, peach, apple or pear, that way you can put whole piece of that fruit in the bottle to make it look and taste even better

Awesome video as always. I have found over the years that when making fruit mashes, it has to be cooked. If you use fresh fruit, you get just that in your finished product. Fresh fruit on the nose and not much flavor. If you cook the fruit, you get more of a “pie” flavor which I prefer. I also use a gin basket with some of bigger chunks of fruit to bump that flavor up a bit. Throw a Madagascar vanilla bean in there and you have a clear peach pie... 😉 cheers

I've always thought that...that in a brandy would be delicious. Anyhow, I wondered about a puree, cooking and reducing the pulp volume, would it increase the fruitiness of the final product or would I have to cut and proof the brandy with juice after? Any help would be appreciated.

Love the way you present! I used to read books that explained how to make your own liquors, and even though they explained the process well, I still felt afraid to try. I even remember visiting a cousin's winery, and seeing all the pieces that go into the process and the strict safety standards... I feel like if I binged your channel for a day or two, I could fill in the missing gaps and make it work. I have my own land and plans to put in a garden that I hope produces more than we can use. Being able to make alcohol after the rest of preservation techniques have been exhausted will be extremely resourceful. Plus, I love dandelion spirits, and the only way I'll get to enjoy them regularly is by making my own.

for the flavor you need to put a bottle on a tree when the fruit is small so the fruit grows into the bottle, then when the fruit ripens you cut it off from the tree straight into the bottle and pour the corresponding rakija (brandy) into that bottle and age it for at least 2 months, can be done with almost any fruit but pears are the best, that's how we do it in the balkans

Peaches taste a lot more sweet when given some time in the box. Fresh from the shop, they are often hard and hardly sweet. But they get softer, juicier and a lot sweeter within a week. I don't know if there is more sugar created in the fruit or if it is only liberated from the structure. But the effect is enormous...

Can't really take the credit for that. One of the patreons mentioned he was using a malt tube. Got me thinking!

If you were to do a stone fruit spirit like this again you could try US-05 yeast, the peach/nectarine aroma it gives off in fermentation would be well suited.

🤣 3:08 best part of the video! Now back to brandy! Great recipe and great improv to take the alcohol and flavour from the pulp. There absolutely no problem to add sugar to get to the right sweetness it is a common think even in the Balkans where I am from. In the Balkans, the real thing it is made only with fruits that fall from the tree when you shake it. If trees full of fruit are not available and fruits have to be bought then some added sugar is perfectly fine as long as it is white (fully refined) so it doesn't impair any flavour. Great dedication in cutting out every single pit out, that is what could be called a 100% hand crafted spirit! There is another method (the one I use when I make fruit brandy or Rakia, the generic term used in the Balkans) and that is that I simmer the fruits for a while until the pits come apart (like a slow cooked roast until the meat falls of the bones) then add the sugar at the end after a gravity reading. Boiling the fruits with the pits gives a unique character found only in very few places even in the Balkans. This is s secret passed on in my family. There is a catch though: if you boil them too much you get too much bitterness and the whole batch is ruined. You need to now exactly when to stop based on continuous tasting similar to when you do the cuts. Next level is Slivovitz!

I love my peach brandy ! Oaked for just long enough to give it a yellow color, then proofed to 80. I add a few peach slices to a pint jar and give it a week to absorb the extra flavor. Awesome !! Just be careful when you eat the peaches 😁

Nice one mate, I like the fact that you are using the T 500, many of us out here have them and aren't really sure how to use them and this helps a lot, nice tip there too using that pot on legs inside the boiler. Chur bro.

I did George's canned peach recipe last month. It is a huge hit with family and friends. I want to try a half canned half fresh as soon as the peaches come into season. Great tips.

That's funny, the very first thing I thought of when you said the gravity was below your liking was, _"Why doesn't he just add some sugar to it? The yeast won't give a shit where the sugar comes from and it won't be enough to alter the flavor.."_ Not a walk of shame in my opinion.

Stumbled across this while I was going through homebrew videos. Great info, I've been homebrewing beer for a while and have always been interested in distilling. Looks like you have a lot of great learning content here. Subscribed and definitely going to be going through more of these.

The ‘chunky stuff pot’ is a game changer. I put all this time into assembling a double boiler and all I had to do was that!?! Can’t wait to do a run will solids. You the man!

I don't know if you still have jars 12 and 13. But an experiment you can try to get rid of that astringency (if it's caused by tannins) is to put about a 1/2 teaspoon of gelatin in them, stir/shake it every few hours, or when you pass by the jar, then let it sit overnight. In the morning, filter it through a coffee filter, or cheese cloth. Gelatin is made from collagen, collagen is made up of proteins, and tannins bind to proteins and are forced to precipitate out of solution, wherein you can filter them out.

Wow coolest idea to put pot inside of boiler. Going to make myself one of those right away. 👍👍

When I make a must/wash, I don't air-rate it. It just helps the sourkruat bacteria out. I heat it hot enough to kill Bacteria off. 150F works because it takes so long to cool off. When it gets down to 100F I add the yeast. Next morning the it is fermenting like you cant believe. I just use bakers yeast. I also use yeast nutrient. I get complete fermentation in of 12-14% 8 to 14 days. The trick is to get the alcohol level up to 6% really fast to inhibit the Bacteria growth. Otherwise you end up with a yucky acidic apple juice smell and taste of the wash/must.

I am going to make a bastard wine. Apricots and local honey. I am in the Okanagan valley British Columbia Canada and we have tons of orchards and beekeepers here. No distilling, just enough sugar from honey that it gets up to the 17% ish point that kills the yeast. So sort of an Apricot mead.

Is New Zealand’s Netflix library just lord of the rings movies? Alton Brown has taught me that freezing and thawing fruit can actually help them break down. So you might extract more sugar if you freeze them and then thaw first. Also if it’s a bit starchy is it possible to convert the starch with some amylase?

I got about 40lbs of peaches that were done for at a store. Real soft and mushy. I was able to mash them by hand to remove the pits.

The winemakers dosage of pectic enzyme is around 6 grams per 100 litres. With stone fruit wines a dosage of 9 grams per 100 litres seems to give better results. With the spirit run, if the low wines need to be diluted, some of the backsets from the last stripping run and be used to boost the congeners. With the wine yeasts, Laffort brand suggests adding an equal volume of the wash/must to the hydrated yeast (after the yeast has hydrated for 20 minutes). Let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes before adding the mixture to the wash/must.
