The perry was kegged, put 5 gallons of Shop & Save Cider on the dregs. This cider will be fruited, blended with mead and oaked (seperate batches). Easy recipe! Took three gallons and froze to a half gallon, making APPLEJACK! Most went out as Christmas gifts, and has been a big hit everywhere served. Saved back a 12 ounce bottle for UMMO Eis-anything.
The other two gallons were blended with a gallon of blackberry wine, cool and refreshing.

PERRY
Not sure how this will turn out, used a 96 ounce can of Vitners Harvest Pear Concentrate, water to 4.5 gallons, 3 pounds of sugar and White Labs Cider Yeast. Hope this turns out, as I'm a few years from pear harvest!
Kegged today, fg at 1006, fairly clear. Taste....very thin, not a winner.
Age is treating this well. It took a third at the HHHC this year. Till my pear tree starts producing, I might be going this route.
