Has anyone ever made anything with the green prickly pears? I've looked around on here and noticed everyone has used the red/purple ones. I have about 5# of them that I've cut up and frozen for now. Any thoughts?
Not on me...I'm on a business trip far from home...Yep Chicagoland Winemakers. I was so glad I found that place , I thought I was going to have to go into the city to get supplies.
Homebrewer 99- do you by any chance have a recipe you used?
The red and green ones are all over the damn place here. You can buy them deburred or you can just pick them all over the city.

Last year, I made a gallon from the green and a gallon from the red. The red fruit tastes sweeter, so I'd assume you'll get more alcohol from them. When I bottled, I thought they tasted similar. I haven't sampled since. I might try a blind taste test to see if anyone can tell them apart.
Where'd you get the red ones around here? I have yet to look at Whole Foods, but either way, I assume they are not available at this time.
