This is my first Cider attempt, and I wanted to try and get something close to the taste of an Ace Pear Cider. So far, its 12 days into fermentation and I'm getting almost no activity in the airlock. I'm going to leave it in the Primary until tomorrow and then rack it to Secondary for about a week to let it clear out a little. I used Gerber Pear Juice because its the only 100% Pear Juice product I could find.
3g of Tree Top Apple Cider
1g of Tree Top Apple Juice
1.5g of Gerber Pear Juice
2lbs of Light Brown Sugar
1 WLP775 Cider Yeast
1 T Yeast Energizer
3 T Yeast Nutrient
O.G. 1.080
F.G. .999
I basically used the EWAW recipe guidelines to mix my sugar into my juice, save that I heated a 1/2 gallon of Cider and dissolved the sugar into it first, then added it to the Primary. You will get a nice krauzen and very good activity off of this yeast. I have several variations of this recipe depending on how this one turns out to taste once I back sweeten it.
