I have a blueberry bush and a Jack Lalane juicer. Is there a recipe for a 25l mash that I can run through my still. I also have 3 pear trees and acess to apple trees. I am a beginner so something simple and to the point would be great

"Wade is a huge resource for this. Check out these two links and you will find all you need to know. http://forum.finevinewines.com//default.asphttp://www.awsfairfieldcounty.o...inecellar_wade_evans.phpBasically, you are going to make a fruit wine, but since you don't have to store it for months, you don't have to be as careful. You can shoot for a bit higher ABV, and perhaps a stronger fruit flavor for distilling. Originally Posted by: letcher52  I have a blueberry bush and a Jack Lalane juicer.

"A nice trick for fruit wines, is to put all the pumice into a fermenting bag, and at or near finish, remove it, squeeze out juice, then put pumice into a big jar. Cover with sugar and leave. It will pull out more spirit, color and flavor. Pour off liquid when it accumalates. repeat.
After distilling the must, you can then add the collected liquid to color, add some more fruit flavor and sweeten to tast."

That sounds good, what I need to know is how much fruit juice to add to 25l of water and how much sugar and what kind of yeast. Since I going to distill do I need that pectin enzyme and what nutrient might I need?

"Letcher, Unless you have a good bit of fruits and berries, Then this might be an alternative. These have worked very nice for me. http://www.danish-schnapps-recipes.com/"
