Oooooooh that's great news!!! Thank you for looking into it:) I was a bit worried about that after reading these posts!

I like where your heads at! And, I must say a ton of work went into that pear wine!!!! I am drinking it! Ha!

Using the marbles from micheals that is!

I boiled them up and tossed them in! So far so good!

Wow!!!! I didn't have that much with my pear!

WOW!!!! That's a lot of pears!!! Good luck with your surgery:)

Sounds good! Just watch it now.... My pear took 2 weeks for the fermentation to slow down enough for me to rack into a carboy.... Don't rush :) This is my pear on first rack added glass marbles to bring the juice to the top of the carboy the other carboys are grapes:)

I just added mine in.... Give it a real good stir and keep stirring as you pour in the bentonite. I heat up some water and mix the bentonite in the hot water, let the bentonite water come to room temp before adding to the must.

Thanks runningwolf:) I feel pretty proud of my babies:) lots of hard work and reading and the help you you guys have made this happen!!! Can't thank you enough:)

Thanks guys!!! I am pretty proud of my babies!!
