I've recently stumbled upon some pears and honey and so I've decided to combine these two lovely things.
My situation is as follows:
Now, what do you think, would it be possible to make a perry out of all this? I'm aiming at around 20-25L batch (as my carboy is at 25L capacity).
I've been reading a lot about this all over this and other sites and it seems to me that meadmakers normally use pear juice instead of actual pears. Would it be smarter to make juice via juicemaker out of these pears or just put the slices I have in primary and secondary (as I have planned to do)?
Any kind of advice is much appreciated.
My situation is as follows:
- I've got around 20kg of honey (acacia honey), so for the purposes of this batch, let's say it's unlimited quantity.
- I've also got around 5kg of pears. I've peeled, cut up and threw away the middle part for like half of them and put them in the freezer.
- GoFerm, Fermaid E (European equivalent of Fermaid O, I think), DAP, pectolase, Campden tablets, etc., etc. - I've got it all.
- And, lastly, aroung 100g of EC-1118 yeast.
