Just be sure you have some muslin or a very fine sieve to strain it through after the first stage...

I will do mate I noticed you mentioned that in your earlier post . I'll get some at weekend from brew. Shop along with any other bits I'm allowed to get chees

Oldbloke can I ask you something my peach is nearly fermented out you say your poured through a Muslim bag in funnel to get the most out of it . Did you just pour everything into the funnel or just syphon of through the muslin bag ? There is quite s bit of pulp like you say ?

 

[oldbloke]

I poured it.
Yes, oxidation risk. Chuck in a crushed Campden and pray to Bacchus.

I have used a syphon with a bit of muslin over the inlet for something else, might work for your peach. At the time I didn't think of it for my peach, and there's so much gunk it could easily clog anyway.

I topped up with 8oz sugar dissolved in 1.25litres of water. It fermented another week or so, then took a bit more than that again to clear.

Slight bitter edge when new, quite nice now IIRC. Might open one tomorrow to check...

" topped up with 8oz sugar dissolved in 1.25litres of water. It fermented another week or so, then took a bit more than that again to clear.
since there been no activity whatsoever and ive added that 8 oz of sugar ive added a little yeast starter to help finish it of will this cause a problem or is it ok to do that .
thanks for your advice :

If you put a Campden in, the yeast will be slow for a day or so, give it a chance.

Dam just got some of this stuff from lidl. Should have looked on here first.
I think i will now buy some more different jucies and split the peach between them to reduce that sediment problem :hmm:

 

[oldbloke]

I'm thinking I might try it again, but using the 4-days-in-a-bucket-then-strain-into-demi system many recipes use for garden/hedgerow stuff with lots of pulp.
It's what I have to do for strawberry anyway, and it ought to deal with almost all that pulp. And the final peach wine was nice.
