I read somewhere (can't remember where) recently that fermenting fruit produces more methanol than fermenting grains. I seem to recall they mentioned 3% methanol by volume! I read that it was due to the pectin and the use of pectolase. At the time I thought that this was a load of BS, but is there any truth in it? What does pectolase break pectin down into and would that be the cause?
Whatever, it's not going to stop me making and enjoying wine, but I may have to make more beer :drink:
