I ferment at between 18 and 22 degrees C and keep it in the carboys to bulk age (racking of course) for around 7 or 8 months then bottle. Finally popping the cork 4 months latter. So my pear cider is about twelve months old before it is tasted. And at around that time I am looking to harvest my next crop. I agree with you about those corks. It's not easy.

Certain bacteria can convert this to acetic acid, which is essentially vinegar. I wouldn't recommend home pasteurizing the juice, seeing as it will change the flavor. If you add some campden to it you can avoid the problem without changing the flavor though.

I'd be interested to try a bit of this. Let me know if you ever try brewing beer, I'd be interested to check out that process.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04560169341792439511noreply@blogger.com
