Just an update on the 100% pear. It has only been ~10 days but it is already starting to clear. Never the less, i will leave it for about 21 days.
It might stick it out at 1.012
Phug, you were correct. This weekend, still 1.012. I bottled it as-is without priming or anything.
It had a definite fermented honey flavor. Its a little more pronounced once chilled than it was a week ago.
In addition i started a 6 gal batch with ~4.5 gal pear and 1.5 apple. for the record do NOT get Langers pear juice. It tastes extremely extremely bad. I ended up dumping three 32 oz. bottles it was so bad
Did your bottles develop any carbonation in the last month? or did they sit solidly at 1.012 even after bottling? Tasting notes?
As a complete circle follow up to my 75% pear cider, I bottled it on 4/30/2016 with 4.5oz of corn sugar. It was carbed by 5/30/2016, which was longer than expected.
Its now 2/15/17 and i still have plenty of this batch left. It aged nicely and is still one of my favorites for fruit flavor and easy drinking. Its also super clear and looks really delicious.
Hi All,
Sorry to dig up an old thread, I found this while searching for recipes.
I'm quite the novice, but I want to bring this recipe to an event I'm attending in about a month.
Is there any suggestions to shorten the carb time? I was thinking of some priming sugar, but I want to be cautious of exploding bottles.
You could probably get it bottled but not carbed in the bottle in a month. Depending on how bottling goes you might have a wee bit of co2 in it by then but certainly not finished, I think. Would still be drinkable, probably.
Did you get your carbonation?Just bottles my first batch of ezpz Perry.
.75 gal of Gerber's pear
1.75 organic pear juice (expensive but the only thing available)
2.5 gal honey crisp apple juice.

Very darn tasty. Only thing missing is the carbonation.
Primed with a can of tree top FAJC.
A month before my event. hopefully I have some carbonation before then. I might toss these in a black box and leave them in the sun. Not sure how else to speed up carbonation.
