I have made fig wine on two occasions and i have never been happy with it.to dry and not enough flavor.I plan on brewing a batch this year but throwing it in the freezer and only collect what doesn't freeze. Anyone do anything like this? Please comment on the idea/ share input
i read the downside to freeze distilling is that all of the alcohol is captured. W/ a regular still the "first" and "last" runnings or lighter / heavier alcohols are usually discarded due to high methyl/other objectionable content. Liquor distillers have a jargon that refers to this as the heads, hearts, and tails. Ideally one would like to only capture the hearts, but w/ freezing you get it all.
