Notes

A modification of "Cyser The Flying Squirrel" from Nobel Savage

Primary:

Make starter with Go-Ferm
Mix Honey, Apple, and pear juice
Top up to 3 gallons with water
Hand mix Fermaid-O & yeast nutrient
Add yeast starter

Secondary:
Transfer
Added tannin, acid blend, and Sparkelloid
Let sit for 2 weeks
Backsweeten to 1.020

Brewer's Notes:
This was very cloudy, used Sparkelloid to fine. Next time I will try Pectic enzyme in primary. Even after fining still had a astringent flavor, and couldn't tase the pear. Next batch will add more pear, less apple. Took 2 months bottle conditioning before the flavors balanced and could taste some pear, still slightly bitter.
