Pear wine

History

Fall 2021

October 11, 2021

4278 grams mashed pears. According to plum wine proportions, should have added 2675 grams sugar, but only had 1,516, so added that. Had to use both my hangari and a gallon kimchi jar, distributing roughly 2/3 to 1/3. Added 7 cups of water and 1 cup of lemon honey wine to each.

Bubbling like crazy! All the mash is at the top of the containers. Continuing to mix at least twice a day.

Separated mash from liquid. Filled up two half-gallon bottles plus half my hangari, so about 1.75 gallons. Filled up my hangari with additional water. Going to mix it all up again with additional sugar once I get a big enough carboy.

Transferred to 5-gallon carboy, filtering out additional sediment. Added four cups of sugar and four cups of water. Probably about 2.5 gallons total, which in theory is about 9 bottles of wine. Stuck it in my closet for the second ferment!
