Pear cider is ready to bottle
Bottled up 4 flavors of pear cider. Wild rose and Spicebush, dandelion and burdock root, and white clover. Pears came from a neighbor's tree in his front yard and all other ingredients were wild foraged here on the homestead.
Each should be between 5 and 6 percent alcohol by volume. My favorite is the wild rose and spicebush but the most surprising is the white clover very clean refreshing summer taste but still nice and dry.

quoting nevent1q…66z8Took the first tastes of these pear ciders that have been fermenting for a couple weeks.
Six five gallon batches each with different ingredients harvested on the homestead and dehydrated with the Bitcoin mining dehydrator (except the grapes). White clover, dandelion/burdock, henbit, wild rose/spicebush, concord grape, and plain pear with maple syrup.
I steeped the ingredients in boiling water for a few minutes and poured the tea over 10lbs of frozen chopped pears along with some additional water to get to 5 gallons. I added sugar until the starting gravity was at 10 brix.
After a couple weeks the flavors are starting to develop but the cider is still too sweet at 6 brix. I let it ferment for a couple more weeks and taste again. The wild rose spicebush pear cider already tastes like something special.
