New Brew: Peach'n'Apple Stout

I'll be honest, there's not much I didn't cover in the extensive video, but at least I can use this blog for showing you what happened before the camera started rolling. I chopped up some peaches and an apple very thinly, surface area is key to extracting flavors and let them boil for fifteen minutes. I added a touch of molasses before the boil to merry the flavors. After fifteen minutes had passed I was left with about a cup of water, so I topped up to about 4 cups total with some spring water, and added molasses turned the burner on high until it came to a boil. The camera was rolling at that point, so here's a progression of the wart prior to that point:
 While it reaches a boil.
 During the boil.
 After adding extra water and molasses.
 The boil prior to adding any malt.

Hope you enjoy and learn from the video, it was a difficult single take endeavor full of rambles, foibles, and some solid fundamentals of brewing.
