Purée fruit for infusions?

[412CiderGuy]

I typically like a more subtle flavor and clear cider so I just let my fruit sit in a cheese cloth in secondary for a week but my friend swears by pureeing it and dumping in secondary. Which do you prefer or do you have another technique?

 

[Maylar]

I use your method. Puree can make a helluva mess.

 

[GeneDaniels1963]

puree gives a bit more flavor due to residual solids. But it will be cloudy

 

[Pizombie]

I add purees in secondary and add pectin enzyme to make sure it clears.

Puree makes a LOT of sediment & you'll lose a LOT more cider when racking.

What if you dump in a 75 micron bag and let that soak? would it help control the mess?

Take that bag and press it. Add the juice back in.
