    Cheaper dry yeast with pear notes?

    I'm looking for something with as much pear character as possible. WLP570 seems to be the answer, but I have trouble getting liquid yeasts here. Other Belgian golden ale yeasts sound okay, but they all seem to be liquid packet too. What else can I find dry? Preferably stuff that does well...

    Fining cider - huge gelatin waste layer?

    When to Add Herbs to Metheglin/Spiced Mead?

    I'm new to brewing but I have some good bio & chem experience from college so I'm not completely new to some techniques. I'm planning a metheglin in 5 gal better bottles. I'm wondering when to add the herbs and spices. Primary? I could simmer them with some of the initial water to sanitize...
