F pack

[wctisue]

I've got my peaches and using Waldo's recipe.


How do I go about making an F pack? I'd like to figure it out now while I have the fruit and have it ready if I need it months down the road.


Thanks,


Wayne

F-packs are made by simmering fruit on your stove, running it through a strainer, then simmering the juices to reduce down to 1/3 the volume.


I found this to start. Fruit and some liquid to start? Strain and only use the juice?

F-PAC
How to make a F-PAC = Flavor Pac
Add 20-30% of #’s of fruit what was used in the primary (if
you used 30# in recipe then you will need 6-9# more for
the f-pac) in a large frying pan or pot. Simmer to extract
all "flavor" and reduce the water from the fruit. Strain thru
a kitchen strainer and add AFTER you rack and after the
wine is DRY ( .990) You MUST have added k-meta and
Sorbate before adding the f-pac. Once adding the f-pac
you can add clearing agent. You will have to rack at least
2+ more times. Then
back sweeten to YOUR taste using simple syrup.
