Has anyone tried to use a pear essence?
My plan is approx 19L of Cloudy apple Juice, 4L of Pear juice cans, S-04 yeast.
I'm going to bottle so I was planning to use Pear juice to bulk prime and just work it out to use approx 180g of sugar (I'll just work out sugar content off the cans).
I know the yeast will chomp away at my pear sugars and poo out more alcohol so to keep it a bit more pearish would it be worth throwing in one of those 'top shelf pear essences' bottles? Would it even be noticable in 23-25L? I'd put it in after racking the first time, thinking of adding 125g of Lactose for sweetness too.
Are there any other pear extracts or flavourings that are worth looking into?
