Pear wine is a delicious, fruity beverage made with fresh pears. Peaches can be discarded if they are too ripe. However, you can make wine from them. During fermentation, the sugars of the pears should be broken down and the flavor extracted. A wine yeast that breaks down the pear pulp should be used. Pear winemaking is not possible with non-wine yeasts. Their enzymes are ineffective. Lalvin EC-1118 wine yeasts are the best for making pear wines. Wine yeasts of the Lalvin EC-1118 type have a pectic enzyme, which breaks down fiber in fruit. This allows more flavor to be extracted from the fruit.
Pear juice is then "racked" (remove sediment) into another container using a siphon hose. The sediment in the primary fermentation vessel can be left behind. This may give the wine an unusual flavor. The liquid's movement adds oxygen to it, which aids the yeast in the second fermentation process. The secondary fermentation process typically takes between two and six weeks to complete. The pear wine is ready to be bottled after two weeks.
Pear wine should generally be made from ripe, un-damaged fruit. For the best flavor, only use high quality pears. The fruit will stay fresher for longer thanks to the sulfite solution. It also prevents it from rotting. This will ensure that pear wine retains its pear flavor. You should also check the alcohol content when choosing pear varieties. It should be around 10 to 12 percent. Higher levels can cause wine to be watery or bland.
There are many ways to make pear wine, including blending the fruit with other flavors. Some wineries add honey, almond and gooseberry flavorings to their pear wine. Asian wines may also be based on other fruits. Combining all three methods can create a unique pear juice. The pear wine can then be drank. Make sure that the ph is at least three to four.
Pear juice is sweeter than other fruit juices, but it still tastes good. A pear wine made with raspberries, for example, is packed full of flavor. Pear wine made using table pears will, in contrast, taste bland and watery. The addition of grape leaves or currants may also add astringency. The result may taste like weak moonshine.
To make pear wine, start with a crock and minced pears. Mix the pears, sugar, water and lemon juice. Let the mixture rest for one to two hours, stirring every day. After the fermentation period is complete, pour the finished wine into a secondary fermentation container that is airtight. The tops of the jars should have a quarter inch headspace. This will stop oxygen from entering the mixture. It will allow carbon dioxide to escape.
