Hello!
I made 3 gallons of pear wine about 6 weeks ago. It is around 13% abv. I made it with winter pears from a neighbor's tree. Unfortnately, it doesn't have much pear flavor. The wine is fairly clear now and hasn't had any fermentation action in a few weeks now. Can I simply add some 100% pear juice to the carboy to sweeten it up and add some pear flavor? Then leave it set for a couple more weeks to make sure fermentation doesn't start again?
Or should I use campden and sorbate, then add concentrated pear juice and sugar?
Thanks for any help!
