Kind of pear used matters. Red Anjou is best for sweet pear notes. Slight citrus/bitter uee green anjou. Asian pear adds a light earthy note with a crisp taste.

I made this recipe using amoretti Pear Puree and its stupid good, and stupid easy. 1oz puree in primary, 1.5-2oz in secondary. The only thing I would change is to use maybe 1 tbsp less of erythritol than you did in yours due to the perceived sweetness from the puree. Highly recommend you try it.

Great video, I think I'm going to make this but up abv to 7ish and add pears in both ferm and secondary. Also recommend that you put links to the related videos either on screen or in the bottom description, I want to watch them but have to go searching for them.

For me when it comes to the brewers best flavors it takes some time to get the chemically taste to age out. But it does work.

I definitely agree. I think that it can produce a semi off flavor but over time most meads will meld well enough to hide any odd flavor.

if you are just making for your own consumption and don't really care about clarity, is there any reason you have to do the steps to clarify it - ie mouth feel, taste etc?

Would you be able to use a slow speed juicer to get the juice from the pears to run a hydrometer on the juice, then add the juice? Add the pulp in a bag if it would add any tannin from the skins? Would there be any benefit to this?

What is the black strip on the carboy on the second shelf in the middle? I've seen them before, but I don't know what they are used for.
@ManMadeMead
@ManMadeMead 3 жыл бұрын
It's a temperature strip that tells the temperature of the glass it's on. It's good for monitoring fermentation temps and everything ( I used it specifically while using a heating pad under a mead)

sorry but I am metric so a lot of what you say doesn't really make much sense to me and my rule of thumb for priming sugar is 10 grams per litre, I would love to know how much honey I need in grams per litre, do you have any idea?
@ManMadeMead
@ManMadeMead 3 жыл бұрын
You're looking at 7 grams per liter of mead (when adding priming sugar). As far as honey is concerned it would be .28 oz of honey for every 1 liter of mead.

Why do two fermentations? I see this done alot and I'm not sure why not to just add everything at once.
@ManMadeMead
@ManMadeMead 3 жыл бұрын
So I wanted to keep the pear essence as much as possible. Sometimes you lose a lot of the fruit flavor during the primary as it pushing the fruit flavor out of the airlock!

Hey, I just wanna say that I love this channel! And offer a little constructive criticism - can you go a little slower when you tell us the details? Maybe write critical information on a white board or edit in some text on the screen. Or maybe link a Google document with a more detailed write up. This looks like one I wanna try making!

1. You didn't really star-san cut fruit, did you? (I wouldn't even star-san un-cut fruit.) Pasteurize it. Heating to 140 degrees will break down even more cell walls for juice extraction. Either that, or use canned pears... (Yes, I've made canned pear wine. 😁) 2. You need a wide-mouth gallon fermenter for fruit. Makes life so much easier. 3. I'm not sure a gravity of 1.000 means it's done. I've had a 15% ABV mead go as low as 0.995. I wonder if some of your carbonated meads that you didn't carbonate is due to that...
@ManMadeMead
@ManMadeMead 3 жыл бұрын
I StarSan-ed the fruit and I think that's totally fine! I could have pasteurized it but I didn't think of that at the time! I have some of those wide mouth fermenters now and they're great! You're right - it could definitely go lower!
