You could also get only the chai spices and infuse the cider with those, but I think the addition of black tea would "pear" so well with the juice and spices 😊.
Hey I did not realise perry is referring to a specific variety of pear. That's great to know! I was thinking pear cider was its own thing called "perry"
The Chai Pear Cider recipe sounds good for my next homebrew. Just a note: as you added almost 1 liter of tea, you diluted your pear cider, so the final ABV is actually less than stated.
Hey thanks, good luck brewing. And yeah true but I also added priming sugar so that too would impact final ABV. Didn't feel like doing the extra math and readings to find a true final ABV but if you do let me know!
@@TheBruSho I replied 2 times and I think my reply was filtered because it had links to a calc I used and the resulting screenshot. I had made rough calculations and this should end at 5.5% ABV after dilution taking into account the tea has no sugars and no re-fermentation occurs. Perfect for a summer drink, thanks for the recipe!

That’s a great question, I didn’t take any measurements after adding the tea but it definitely would have diluted it a little bit. If I had to estimate it probably dropped a half percent.
Hm.. I havent experienced that issue before, usually adding yeast nutrient can help a stuck fermentation. How much are you using per gallon? Maybe check to be sure your juice doesn't have a preservative in it. Can also try heating the fermenter slightly to see if that will jump start fermentation.
@@TheBruSho I’m using 1 tsp/gal. I’ve never experienced it before either.. no preservatives in my juice. It just all collects at the bottom of the fermenter. No clue. I’ll try warming it.
Nope, using the priming calculator (linked in description) has never failed me. Gets me the right amount of sugar for the perfect amount of fizz. But if you want a still cider you can pasteurize to ensure it doesn’t build any pressure
@@TheBruSho thanks for the response. Makes sense but didnt think there would be a bulletproof solution for over CO2'ing. Always thought if you want some fizz you have to stop it at some point to prevent bottle failure. Would ypu mind unpacking this in a future vid? Enjoying your content. Refreshing vid style, perfect length with clear measurements. Hold on to your skirt, your channel is going to blow up
@@TheBruSho i am researching the hobby since here in South Africa, all sales of alcohol is banned to prevent mass gatherings resulting in spreading of covid. Brewing and distilling at home for personal use is legal here, but something really caught my attention and i think i want to give this a go
@@VonnCrit oh wow I didn’t know that. Yeah give it a try. Especially something like cider is easy and fun for a beginner fermentation, hopefully you get hooked!
I feel you say you will show us how to make something then never go into the details like the priming sugar. Watched a few of your videos and see the same thing.
I covered it in this video but lmk if you have any questions, happy to help. I just try to keep these vids short and not repeat myself too much. th-cam.com/video/QzeK6keT79o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=k4ebpsX_q3du9aZY
@@TheBruSho but in another video you said you showed it in this video and then in this video you referenced yet another video. So confusing/frustrating.
Way too complicated for me. Try this recipe. I recommend you make fresh juice and mix in alcohol or wine. Try boiling whole apples until they are almost mush. Remove them. Then add cheap wine and some alcohol. Boil for five seconds. It lacks the sparkle of champagne but tastes great.
This looks like the perfect fall beverage to sip on! 🍐🍺🍂
these videos are so high quality. absolutely fantastic
Thank you so much for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
Nice recipe ! Cheers Trent ! 🍻🍻
Thanks bud!
Wow your format and production are so good! And I like you did a small batch. Makes me more motivated to try it out!
Thanks so much! And I love to do small batch stuff, that way I can experiment and try more new things. Will be making more small brews in the future!

Can you juice fresh pears and use that juice?

How much ABV % is reduced by adding the Chai tea? 😊
That’s a great question, I didn’t take any measurements after adding the tea but it definitely would have diluted it a little bit. If I had to estimate it probably dropped a half percent.
Every time I use yeast nutrient fermentation never starts? What could I be doing wrong?

@@Shawn11409 weird yeah let me know if that works.
6.6% ABV HOT DAMN!
Will warm ya up on a cold night!
I dont see you ever mentioning pasturisation. Do you ever experience bottle failure or overflow when opening your cider bottles?

There is no need to buy bottled juice. Just boil the fruit then use a blender when it is cold. Easy as making a smoothie.
