I've just put 10L each of pear and apple juice to a fermenter with a sachet of Nottingham Ale yeast.
OG 1.051
The density sample is pretty tasty, especially split with soda.
The pear juice was got cheaply from the Shep factory shop and is cloudy. The apple juice is clear and $1/L fromthe A store. Both full juice, no added sugar and preservative free.
I was originally going to combine the pear juice with apricots, but after thinking about their respective ripening/picking seasons, I ditched that idea. They are not natural partners. The apricots ripen at new year and the pears several months later in autumn. Of course with modern freezers etc we can put them together if we wish, but I decided not to. So the revised plan simply pairs the pears with apples :-). 'Tis my latest experiment, and if it turns out well, I'll try to keep some aside for MrsBrown at festival next year.
