So, I have gathered various equipment for free from Craigslist. My wife enjoys beer, so, my intention was to brew her some beer.

Last week I was given about 24 lbs of pears. I also have in the freezer stored about 20 lbs of various fruits.

So here is the plan…..

All the pears finely chopped into a 5.5 gallon fermenter with:

5 Earl Grey teabags for tannin

15 pounds white sugar

A couple bananas for nutrient

A cup of lemon juice

5 gal distilled water (I’m in the desert and our water is horrid)

Lavlin EC 1118 (2 packs?)

And on the fence of comfort about 1 teaspoon pure aluminum sulphate I have in the shed. Talk me into it if it’s actually important.

Any ideas or suggestions?

I have several carboys of various sizes, sanitizer that came with a beer kit(not starsan), bubblers, plugs, hydrometer, bottles, caps, press, ect

Never tried this, however, I have a garden and love the idea of making my own booze from my garden to go with my weed and shrooms. Lol

Thanks in advance for any help!
