I've been making alcohol at home for about a year now. I started with various wines (grape juice, apple juice, sugar water, and even orange juice) and naturally progressed to distilling about 9 months ago. These days, my favorite wines are lower % apple juices or meads, along with ginger ale, while my preferred spirit is vodka, in part because it's cheap, as well as because it can be further flavored after production... eg, going from vodka to gin is very simple For my "drinking wines" (as contrasted with "distilling wines") I prefer making lower % stuff because they have more flavor and are more generally drinkable. Everything I make, I ferment to 100% "dry" (no sugar remaining) and if I want to correct the taste, I'll add artificial sweeteners after fermenting. |
