Homebrewed alcohol

I came into a big pile of pears that I can't possibly eat all of, so I found a recipe for very simple pear wine online; just fruit, sugar, a few raisins, and yeast. Waiting for a CO2 valve to arrive in the mail before getting started. OP seems pretty experienced, any advice for a noob?

Not OP here. You don't have brewing stores nearby? You can get a c02 airlock for cheap instead of waiting.

I hate when that happens.

How rich are you that you can afford 32 lbs of blueberries?

There is one around, never been but heard about it. It was one of those days where I could drive across the city and end up wanting to kill myself or just tack one onto an Amazon order I was just making. I'm going to that store sometime of course when I really get into the brewing thing.

I always keep a gallon of kilju brewing. This has really helped me stop drinking so much. I don't let myself start a new jug until the old one is done, so I'm restricted to only a gallon every couple weeks or so.

motherfucking kvass. best drink in world. need only bread and sugar. brew only 3 days. best drink in world)))

I pick my own from a blueberry farm. They cost $2.00/lb that way. Pretty cheap considering it will produce 12 gallons of a wine comparable to a decent Merlot. The other ingredients were 18 lbs of sugar, 4 packets of yeast, some pectic enzyme, acid blend and yeast nutrient.
