Man does that floating peach sludge look wicked nasty. I made the mistake of having SJ hold the lid of the carboy for me while I stirred in some nutrient. Maybe in a year she will forget how bad it looked and be willing to drink it?

Finally tried this again. Not a lot of peach flavor considering the amount of fruit in it. Tastes pretty good though. I might add a bit of extract to the bottle...

Peach is pretty delicate, both aroma- and flavor-wise....

Out of curiosity...how much fruit was it ?
