Gonna try some papple wine? Cider? this year. Anyone ever make Asian pear wine? My tree went nutso this year and I have all I need to make cider so I figured I’d give this a whirl. Read what I could on the internet, but want to know if anyone has direct experience, could use some advice. https://image.nostr.build/5f7c4dd92728ccfc21764f17b7454cf5393c8da70d81054c5110be73f90e0a46.jpg

 Never tasted! Now I’m curious 😂 
 What I read has it as not amazing, but what the hell, gonna give it a whirl 
 Please share 😁 
 Juice output is disappointing. I had about 40 lbs of papples & have about 1.25 gallons of juice.

We’re throwing some blackberries in the mix - they grow next to each other, why the hell not 
 Never tried making it, but i'm intrigued. 
 It’s gonna take a minute to fully ferment out, apparently this needs to sit on its lees for a while. I would imagine I’ll have a report sometime around this time next year
