Pear cider kits

Post by Scotty » Sat Nov 22, 2008 2:11 pm

My girlfriend has asked me to brew a pear cider kit and would like some suggestions on what kit to go for.

I am aiming for a Kopperberg-style flavour (very sweet).

Many thanks
Scotty

Hard to get a sweet home brewed Cider, they usually end up very dry unless you stop the fermentation early or you could add some lactose or artificial sweetener. Never made a Perry kit but Black rock make a very decent cider kit.

Hi Scotty,
I made the Finlandia Pear and Apple - came out medium/dry if I'm honest.. but dissapeared one afternoon at a BBQ with a few of my friends so can't be all bad.. \:D/
best cider I have made so far I would say. Worth a whirl if you/the missus likes pear cider.
