Having a cider in the rotation was the best decision because of how simple they are to make and mess around with the ingredients. Great stuff BruSho! will definitely have to try this one out.
I was just saying to a friend the other day "yeah I don't really have liquor around these days, just a bunch of different brews" but...you make a convincing point here!
That's so great! This, along with your chai tea pear cider, makes me want even more to brew one for a friend of mine whose favorite beer is a pear Imperial Weisse and who I guess could love the tartness and flavors of a nice homebrewed pear cider
Both of the pear ciders i've made have been some of my favorites of all time, they have a nice complexity to them that you don't get from regular apple cider.
TY, Trent! Trying out your recipe! Two gallons. I used Saf-Cider 1 for the yeast (as it’s all I had on hand). It’s bubbling away nicely … will keep you posted!
I also tried my hand at hard cider (dry hopped), and found something that has not yet been mentioned in most of the videos I've seen on the topic :) My cider (organic, bag packed apple juice direcly from the orchard, no added sugars, Fermentis AS-2 and dry hopped with a small amount of Cascase) came out _very_ dry. I love dry wines, but this cider was severly lacking some sweentness. I tried backsweetening (without stablizing, since the keg will stay below fermenting temperatures at all times), but was way too careful. What I ended up doing (and what worked out perfectly!) was to put a pump dispenser with simple sirup (sugar/water 1:1) next to the tap. One or more pumps of simple sirup, draft your cider on top - perfect sweetening to taste :) , and you don't loose any of the carbonation. At least for Cider, I'll never bother with the whole backsweetening thing again, this is much more simple :) For me, the optimal amount of simple sirup was around 1 cl/300 ml. Just so I can look it up somewhere for the next batch :)
If you go into the baby section of walmart they sell several brands of 100% pear juice cheap. They also make a great value version though it is harder to find.
Hey Trent, thanks for a great video. We really liked the combination of Pears and tequila. Do you think this would work with apples as well? Looking forward to watching future videos. Best, David and Rachel from CFS
Another great idea of a boozy drink! What is your dosage of Potassium Sorbate + Campden Tablet f.e. to 20l batch of sour with lots of fruits? I can not find this information in your videos but I see you are using this often. Cheers!
If using a kegerator, you should be right to not stabalise. At serving temps i've had kegs maintain sweetness for over 6 months. Looks like a great idea for a drink though. Must try it one day! If only pear juice was more common.
That’s a good point, especially if you make a small batch and drink fast. But I’ve had some ferments go through sweetness changes when I didn’t stabilize. But whatever works!
Mh, starting with a juice made from concentrate... I know, it's an Easy recipe, and you took whatever was on hand, but... not even real juice, come on.
Never made a cider…thanks for the inspiration. I’ll add this to the rotation.

Couldn’t agree more. So easy to whip up whenever you need to fill a tap
You should make a video on making a Flanders red sour ale. My personal favorite type of beer.
I am amazed by the frequency of your uploads
Haha just trying to put out quality content that people will enjoy!

Haha never know when you might need to throw some booze in a Homebrew

Wow, Cider with Tequila-like bite sounds oddly beautiful :)
Nice idea for brewing :)
I also heard you can do back sweeting on bottling too!
That sounds super good Trent! I’ll definitely be checking this one out.
Make some and I’ll come hang out!
That sounds delicious! Super simple too, cheers Trent!
Gotta get around to brewing a Cider, itll happen soon thanks to you!
I would love to see your take on one!

Amazing! Excited for you to try it.
We'll you got me again Trent, just ordered some yeast. Lets go!
Nice!! Good luck
Hey thank you for the input. Amazing.
Can you help to make Hard Seltzer from wine ?
Looks so good 😍
Tastes so good too!
Looks Awesome. I have been seeing a couple of pear cider videos out there. i am going to have to give this one a try if I can find the pear juice.
Yeah that’s the tricky part but worth it if you can find it

Wow really smart idea thanks for sharing!
Just reading the words tequila cider gave me a hangover.
Hahah be sure to drink water when watching
Looks delicious!
Thanks braj!

Wow great hack! Thanks for that

I think I’ve had that cider you are talking about! Was it by Mission Train Ranches?
I wish I could remember. It was a beer fest in Milwaukee like 7 years ago hah. But I’ll check that one out

Some of your nutrient made it in to the bucket 👊
Nutrients in the wind. All we are are nutrients in the wind
Jut a thought … could this one be made with kveik Voss and pressure ferment ?
Yep it sure could!
@@TheBruSho btw. do you check/correct PH before fermentation?

Hey Trent! What pressure do you carbonate and serve your ciders at?
Usually around 10-12psi. If I want it fizzy faster I might burst carb for 24 hours
You had me at “tequila”.
Haha a fellow tequila lover!
Looks super refreshing ! Cheers amigo 🍻
Gracias hombre!
When it is made from Pears, it is called Perry. Cider is made from apples only.
Cheers for the Sub haha another awesome Video nice work hopefully get my vids to this level haha 1 day haha
💪😜🤙
Haha great channel! Keep up the good work
Mh, starting with a juice made from concentrate... I know, it's an Easy recipe, and you took whatever was on hand, but... not even real juice, come on.
Then get real juice?
