Brewbuddy Cider. Add pear juice?

[Schnell88]

I have been told that it is possible to substitute some of the sugar for apple juice.
Would it taste like a pear cider if I use pear juice? The logic is there, im just wondering if it will taste OK.

Cider = alcoholic beverage made from apples :thumb:
Perry = alcoholic beverage made from pears :thumb:

Pear cider = From the diseased mind of some advertising/marketing gremlin and doesn't really exist :twisted:

Rant over :lol:

You can of course add any fermentable that you like to replace the sugar :thumb: but if it will taste ok :wha: all I can say is try it :thumb:

Haha, I didn't know that lol.

With that said, brew buddy cider obviously has apples in the kit. Is it possible to not use a kit, just add lots of pear juice, so its all pear?

I know this is a long shot, as kits I guess have other stuff in them as well.

If not, can I buy a perry kit?

can't see why not, then again, pear juice is something you don't see on supermarket shelves..well, i haven't noticed any, but if you did, then you could always make a turbo perry!

Yes it's possible to ferment pear juice into perry :thumb:
Unfortunately getting the right kind of pear juice is the problem I have not heard of anyone successfully producing a perry from juice
Fortunately kits are available :party: CLICKY
