Some friends of ours have a very prolific pear tree and had borrowed a cider press, so last night for very little work I scored 5 gal of fresh pressed pear cider. When I got home we strained/ filtered and pitched 5 crushed camden tabs. My question is what would be the best yeast for a traditional Perry ? I was thinking Nottingham or possibly a white wine type yeast ? What would you do ? And would you add sugar or honey to give it an extra kick or leave it natural & mellow.
