how to make apple mash brandy 

Good video with 3 observations: 1. Don't grate the fruits by hand! It is too extreme! :))) Cut them in chunks and use a paint mixer in a drill to break them down in a bucket. Like the one you used for degassing. By the way, do the degassing in the bucket to the whole mash not in the still. 2. Through in some sugar too when you add the pectolase. It will help to bring out the juice and also give you more end product. About 2 kilos in that bucket should do it and use brown sugar. 3. Do NOT use bourbon or any flavored wood chips from used barrels! You are not making whisky! The purpose of any fruit brandy is to showcase the fruit's flavor and character so you don't want that overpowered by any strong wood with whisky flavor. It defeats the purpose. You can use wood chips but plain and of maple not oak. Those will not overpower the fruit flavor but it will mellow the brandy make it smoother. Also, it will not give that dark whisky color but a lighter yellowish one, whichbfits better to brandies. If its a coniac style brandy, made out of grapes or squished grape skins, than it is OK to use oak and to have a dark collor.

i use a French fry potato cutter easy to mash after

You grated your thumb didn't you 😉 I work in the entertainment industry and also use pvc tape around a plaster or bog roll when I cut myself

I like it

Great job.

Hello! The cider at how many grades was when you begin making the distillation? Thank you!

I didn't see any water or sugar go in. Did you use it, or did I just miss it?

Are both the apples and pears in that mash?

Good job. Looks delicious

Never made this before i think I will try it.

Great , informative vid 👌

Why did you proofdown the alcohol from 72 to 55 before adding the wood chips? And is there a vid of the finished product?
