Definitely going to have to give plums a try. Can you suggest a recipe to me that would equal a gallon of mash?

1 word of advice... Don't wait for plums to clear. The French use it a lot for brandy.

I think the French started deviating with their plums.

So much room to be politically incorrect about how big French men's spherical fruit may be.
