About this Recipe

To get the best results, the peaches you use for brewing process need to be super ripe. Fresh peaches that are more firm are not the ones you want. The peach needs to almost yield under the pressure of your thumb as you press on the flesh.
Utah has a lot of great peaches. I can usually source them at a relatives house. However, I did have to go to Brigham City, Utah to get this batch. If you have never been, you should check ou their annual Peach Days event. Great Fun!
