Easy Peasy Pear

[FatDragon]

Carbonation drops are just sugar and (depending on which drops) sometimes a bit of bottling yeast. There should be no real difference between using them and any other simple sugar.

Have you guys tried a less flocculant yeast? Maybe it just drops out too rapidly.

Or did you try yeast nutrients at the start of fermentation? Maybe the lack of nutrients is so strong at the end of fermentation that the yeast simply is done and has no resources left for the bottle carbonation.

Just bottles my first batch of ezpz Perry.

.75 gal of Gerber's pear
1.75 organic pear juice (expensive but the only thing available)
2.5 gal honey crisp apple juice.

Og-1.049
Fg- 1.010

Very darn tasty. Only thing missing is the carbonation.

Primed with a can of tree top FAJC.

A month before my event. hopefully I have some carbonation before then. I might toss these in a black box and leave them in the sun. Not sure how else to speed up carbonation.

Did you get your carbonation?

It did, yes! I added 160g of sugar totle. A bit more than what you suggested. Waited a full 5 weeks. Carb is perfect but i feel like it takes away some of the flavor. When i tasted the unbottled product the flavor was much stronger.

Also i hAve a bit of trub on the bottom. Is that normal? First time ive bottled.

Also have you ever thought of adding tea bags to this recipe? Ive read tannins help with mouthfeel and flavor profile
