Pear Cider only fermented for 1 day ??

[Buster]

We had a glut of Pears this year so I decided to juice them, got around 7 litres of juice in the fermenter, added the usual Campden Tablet and a teaspoon of Pectolase + some Yeast Nutrient and left it for 36 hours then added 11g of Cider Yeast. Nothing for 24 hrs but on day 2 the bubbler was showing signs of life with a steady bubble every second. Day 3 and it had stopped completely so I left it for 24hrs to see if there was any movement and then gave it a gentle stir. Still nothing. I will do a Hydrometer test later today to see if it has infact fermented out but I am thinking more like a stuck fermentation. Any comments welcomed.:hmm:

I forgot to post the reading, it was 1.008 and its still going down so it did literally ferment in 36 hrs. 1.058 down to 1.008 ...wish I had more juice to start with.:lol:

In the absence of anyone else commenting... That's pretty darn quick. I don't doubt your numbers so it did happen. How warm was the room?

According to the temp gauge it varied slightly between 18-20c over that period. I have now racked it off into a Demijon with a bubbler just incase.

Boom. That was quick. But you can't argue with the numbers. It may go a bit lower than 1.008 but it may not depending on the variety of pear.

Enjoy your perry when it is ready!
