Got a question, not sure where the fuck im supposed to post it, me and a couple of friends been experimenting making a sour cherry liquer, it was supposed to be ready around october, and back then it was like fermented piss and sour wine, i chucked it into the fridge and today i decided to try it again, its almost there, there is sediment on the bottom and the liquid is clearer than it was before, the taste finishes with a sour cherry but still starts with sour wine, is adding sugar post fermentation possible? best way to filter that shit?

TL:DR: Can i add sugar to home made booze after its done fermenting and how do i filter it best

So did you make a sour cherry liqueur or wine?
You make liqueur by adding sugar and fruits to white alcohol. There won't be any fermentation due to the already high alcohol content.

Your post sort of implies you've fermented the cherries. If so I'd give it more time. If you add sugar it'll start fermenting again (unless you pasteurize or add sulfites to stop the fermentation process)

Then adding sugar shouldn't be a problem.

>how do i filter it best
correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't you get a container with a spout near the bottom, trying to get as little sentiment in the container to begin with.
I would just siphon from the top, trying not to stir up the sediment, only because I could find a hose to siphon for free

mountain moonshining seems so comfy, I wish I was a moonshiner

what abv did you mix it to? if below 10% or so, you might have gotten spontaneous fermentation from yeast on the cherries
