A buddy of mine has a pear tree in his backyard and this year it has gone crazy in producing pears. Mostly due to all the rain in Texas this year. So we had the bright idea of making some perry (Pear Cider) from the pears. So he collects some of the pears from the tree and stores them so they can ripen for a week or so. To make a long story short we spend about 5 horrible hours chopping up pears and feeding them to a new garbage disposal to pulp them and then we pressed them to get all the juice we could out of them. In the end we got about 18 gallons of pear juice and it has been fermenting away. Here is a sample of what we got after grinding them and you can see the full gallery of pictures if you follow the link after the picture.
