Sorry to wake up an old thread. I was thinking about adding apricots to my secondary. The recipe called for puree, but I was considering buying fresh and pureeing them myself. Would this add any advantage or should i throw them in whole? I intend on pasteurizing them before I do anything...

I think you are right. Sorry I doubted you. Just brewed the another batch of grains I got the at the same time as the previous one and the OG was again significantly lower than target. Looks like I gotta get my own grain mill... ~Saul

Hey there--how did it turn out? Sounds delicious--considering this for my next brew.

I made one a few weeks back, simple copper tubing and silicone hoses over the ends (one connected to the sink and on as an exit hose), but my issue was after the second time using it the silicone hoses were leaking at the ends. I had to significantly slow the pressure down to minimize the water...
