A customer gave me several pounds of figs, so naturally, I want to turn them into an alcoholic beverage.
Honey: 1 gallon of wildflower honey Water: Enough tap water to make 5 total gallons, no heat Yeast: EC-1118 into 1 gallon of apple juice for a starter Fermenting: 3-4months primary 4 months secondary, then bottled. All at florida room temperature (76-82)
When racking into the secondary I added 1.5lbs of mashed fig, and 5 fresh Tahitian vanilla beans. I didn't freeze or soak any of it in vodka. I pretty much left it in the secondary until i needed the better bottle for another brew
Do you actually like the tastes of figs or just wanting to do something with them?
hmmm--fig newton mead?
FIG BRAGGOT. :rockin:
Someone please get on this, pronto.
