Batch #46: Pear Mead
Started 8/25/25
Bottled 4/30/26
ABV 10.4%
final Gravity 1.006
Made with locally grown asian pears, pressed for juice, and wildflower honey. Came out with a lovely sweetness without adding any additional sugar. I may have to make a larger batch!
The 12oz bottles are ones left dry as a bone for one friend who prefers it that way and my wife who likes hers at Diabetes sweetness levels.
Hey folks. Need some help on a curiosity question.
I’ve just come into possession of 15 what we thought were going to be five gallon fermenters from a friend who was clearing out his neighbors barn.
Grandpa was a distiller. They gave me the fermenters.
They arrived and they were actually seven and a half gallon, slight blue tinge to the glass. Thick walls.
I can’t seem to find that size online.
Any idea what the going rate for this size is? Or was?
Picture is with five gallons.
