Grandpa’s strongest potion:
1p lbs of sugar
As many crab apples as you can get from your grandpas crab apple tree
Juice them all
Mix juice with sugar in sanitized fermentation bucket (use starsan)
Rehydrate yeast in a lukewarm dilute sugar solution so you don’t shock it.
Add to mash and seal with airlock
Ferment until there’s no change in specific gravity between days
Rack your wash off of the Lee’s into a different jug and start distilling it with a water distillation still.
Once you have a first pass done, distill it again and toss the foreshot this time. Stop distilling when the alcohol content drops below about 48% or when it tastes horrible.
