Cartos still have an atty, it'll still fry. The sugar reduces and cruds it up, and at least on the atty I took appart, the coil actually broke. I believe that when the sugar reduces down, it can short out the atty coil, or simply cause it to have hot spots. Also, the atty coil needs juice to flow over it to cool it. It can't do that if it's all gummed up.

how do you do that?

Well. typically alcohol extractions are done using a perfumers still. You'll have to check local regs on that. Some states allow it, some don't. But since you have so much fruit, you could try using a blender on the fruit and some PGA, letting it masserate, then filter it. *shrug*, never done it before.

i am making some blackberry brandy and some blueberry ale. was thinking about trying to make some blueberry/potato vodka.

YUMM. I love potato Vodka, w/ blueberries it must be fantastic.

Kinda off topic, but did you just infuse brandy w/ blueberries? I once made nectarine wine and found I could concentrate the alcohol by "cold Filtering", much like beer makers do to get higher alcohol. Made some really fine liqoure, and I had frozen wine coolers as a side benifit.

i dont know if blueberrie have a strong enough flavor for brandy. blueberry ale is easy though. buy a light ale that you like, mash up abunch of blueberries. drain the juice and add to taste. im too lazy to make it from scratch. as for the blackberry brandy. the recipe i use is my father inlaws. its just a matter of adding berries and sugar with brandy in a glass jar. shake it a few times a day for a week, the 1 time a week for 3 months. then you just strain out the berries. the longer you let it sit after taking out the berries the stronger the flavor gets. now that i think about it, im going to try this with the blueberries. i think ill just have to use 2 to 3 times the amount of berries and alittle more sugar. potato vodka with blueberries is very good! i like to mix it with sprite.
