30# of  "local" Red Haven peaches made their way home from the market. I got some freezing to do. Then I think Schramm's Peach Ginger Mel is in the works.

 

Unless someone here has a better idea....

Oh Peach brandy? Is there a recipe?

Dunno I haven't made it.

 

For anyone that has, how many pounds of peaches did you go with? Schramm recommends 12# but says up to 20# is even better.

 

Solid recipe. I have 10 gallons aging.

nah just joking a bit, the Peach Ginger is delightful

[neddles]

I think we used 20-30 pounds per 5 gallons? Seems like 60-80 pounds went into a 15 gallon batch. I can't remember. More fruit is always better.So far, it's mellowed in harshness, but not in ginger flavour.

I found your thread on that one. Sounds like it will be good. Do you remember the FG or one you would shoot for were you to make it again?

[MyaCullen]

I don't have the book

I have a gallon of raw honey and wanna make some.

how much volume are 20 lbs pitted peaches going to take up, what would you use to secondary?

[Corbin]

It's been aging for 3 years now.

I wish I had the patience some of you have.

[MyaCullen]

You just have to make enough of it and then "forget" about it.

just don't forget about the airlocks

I used big bucket, maybe 7ish gallons. I don't recall how much the peaches displaced.

You don't need patience, just a bad memory.
