Let's hear more about the wine to brandy stuff.
I hope to do some wine making at some point. I have two kinds of Muscadine grapes. They are a native southern grape and do make a good wine. Maybe I'll figure out how one day.

I have been assured that they will show me this winter. These guys, in their 80s make wine that if you bought it on the open market would cost $60 a bottle, it is incredible. They said when they have some wine that tastes like crap they make it into brandy. Now it is my understanding they will not show me since it is illegal to run a still in my state they will only talk to be about it. They said they have found some bottles on their front porch which tasted very good. And no they do not know were they came from..........

I made some wine back in the 80-90's era. And to save some time and money, I started with Welch's white grape juice. Then added the sugar and the yeast according to the hydrometer. Not to toot my own horn, but it was delicious. This might be a way to start experimenting with the procedure, then after you have that down, then change the recipe to suit your taste.

No, I've never heard of carrot whiskey, and right now, I'm still wishing I hadn't. I can only imagine how bad it was. But, mankind has been fermenting anything he could get his hands on for since the dawn of time. I'm guessing no matter what the sugar source comes from, it's been tried before.
