Hi Folks,
I picked up a couple cans of 96 oz Vintner's Harvest apricot today from the LHBS. Planning to make a 5 gallon batch. I was thinking I may put some dried apricots in the primary, and hold back a little of the VH for backsweetening/ flavoring.
I was also thinking I may fortify this batch. Was wondering, should I do that early in the fermentation, or wait til the end? Any suggestions on what to use? Apricot brandies are usually pretty awful, no? I can get Everclear (if I drive across the state line ).
TIA,
JAG
