I have about 120 lbs of fresh pears picked yesterday (a brute trashcan full). So I decided am going to try my hand at making some perry cider.
I have an electric yard mulcher that is brand new and never been used, to mulch up the pears, and my buddy has a 30 lb ratchet press for grapes that we plan on using to juice the ground up pear.
I have read that people freeze apples to get more juice out of them, I assume this would work well for pears as well. Should I bother freezing them if I am grinding them up and then pressing them?
It seems like the people that freeze their apples end up adding pectin to break down apples before fermentation.
