1. Fruit Selection & Fermentation
Use ripe, sweet fruits (grapes, apples, plums) for optimal sugar content.
Crush fruit, extract juice, and ferment with wine yeast (1–2 weeks) until alcohol reaches 9–12% ABV.
2. Distillation (Pot Still Recommended)
Transfer fermented liquid to a copper pot still for flavor retention. If you’re looking for a brandy still for sale, choosing a high-quality pot still is essential. This traditional method is key for crafting authentic pot still brandy, known for its rich aroma and deep fruit character.
Heat gently; collect "heads" (discard harsh foreshots) and "hearts" (pure ethanol, 60–70% ABV). Separate "tails" for re-distilling.
3. Aging (Optional but Recommended)
Age raw brandy in charred oak barrels (minimum 6 months; longer = deeper color & vanilla/spice notes).
4. Blending & Dilution
Blend multiple barrels for balance. Lower ABV to 40–50% with distilled water before bottling.
