OK
Posted this on RCB but as it ticks the boxes for mead making, thought
I'd throw it in here as well.
I am after suggestions for a pear bragget. What proportions to use.
Anyone made a pear bragget?
I've got a couple of kilos of honey, some 14.9% aa galaxy hop pellets.
Was thinking some hops, honey, light malt extract and pear juice all
mixed together might make something interesting.
Thinking barley wine strength.
Now have to figure out proportions.
Batch size would be ~15 litres.
I juice my own pears which I let get nice and ripe - a straight perry
made this way is around 6% abv.
It's just past middle winter so ambient in the laundry is anywhere
between 4-16 C.
I'm leaning toward Lalvin 71B 1122 as it has played nice with previous
perries at low temps.
cheers

Nor is it otherwise.
