I'm fairly certain it's not illegal.

I'll certainly try that. On a side note does anyone know of a place to find a decent sake rice?

I have considered cranberry but I know the acidity would make it difficult. I'll try the black currant. Does sound awesome. I pulled my first batch of grape cherry lastnight and it's amazing, even without aging. Had a little more alcohol than I intended but no complaints. Had a strong pinot noir...

Thanks friends. Unfortunately really good peaches are hard to find in my area. They aren't grown here. But a friend on here showed me a site with peach juice so I figured I'll try that. For now I'll stick with grape, cherry, and blueberry. Any fruit yall would recommend that's good but out of...

@joeswine. No he meant boiling his water for sterilization. Said he never boils his fruit.

Just looked at their site. Everything is exceptionally cheap and a very wide variety of items :D definitely going to order from them!

@dralarms thank you brother. Hopefully something that will please the wife. Just bought 5lbs of grapes and some juice so hopefully that will satiate her for a while.

To who are you asking that?

That's where I use to get it. The frozen concentrate and the 1/2 gallon jugs. Unfortunately my walmart stopped carrying both. That's why I've been trying to use peach fruit instead. Haha if I could still get the juice I'd never bother with adding whole fruit. Any site that sells the concentrate?

And thank each of you for helping me. The reason I even posted was on behalf of my wife. She loved the white grape / peach I use to make but sadly I can't find it anymore. I just want to recreate what I use to make for her and suprise her on our anniversary.

Thank you! That makes it much clearer. I need explanations more than someone just telling me to do something. I appreciate that. Makes sense, could be the pectin metabolizing into the nasty or its "protecting" the fruit from the yeast and allowing it to rot. I use to preboil my water but I've...

@joeswine That could be possible but I usually mix my base juices with various fruits and yet only the peach version faults. I have considered the only peaches method, just worried about that much money going to waste should it spoil. (Forgot to mention that cantaloupe and watermelon have the...

I don't believe cleanliness is the issue. I'm quite thorough on sanitation. I'm wondering if it's the peach itself that has something in it that's metabolizing and producing the off smell and taste. Curious if I can stop it somehow.

I've been making wine for nearly 7 years now and in that time I've had less than 10 wine faults.....Which brings me to the topic of peach wine. Of those approximate 10 faults nearly all were peach based. I start off with a light juice, usually apple or white grape instead of water and to supply...
