Comment on Watermelon brandy
Idreamofcheesy@lemmy.world 1 month agoAhahaha I’m not against it, I just haven’t broken into distilling yet. And by distilling I mean wood alcohol for fuel purposes, of course.
Thanks for the recipe though, it sounds great.

For sure! Honestly even as a “wine” (it finished fermenting in a week) it tasted good, but it does require back sweetening. Without any sugar watermelon tastes like cucumber. Before the liquor fairies got their hands on it I added a small bit of simple syrup into a small glass of it and it still tasted awesome. I’m not sure how well the flavor would hold over time though, but with my quick test, it turned out great. I did ferment it rather warm, to get some esters to give it some sweetness to it, but it did require backsweetening to get it to taste right.
