Copper does remove sulfur!

The pear is subtle but distinctly different from apple cider. It is wine-like with slight residual sweetness. Pears contain sorbitol, an unfermentable sugar alcohol, and this is noticable compared to fully fermented apple ciders.

FWIW, sorbitol is one of the reasons that pear juice and sugar free gum will help ya poop.

Great to know, and it sounds delicious!

Also, I see you're getting in on this thumbring business.

That's my wife's thumb.

i have mine in the BK - but have run through copper tubing when sulphur has been a problem with good results.

I originally thought I'd just run the cider through the copper tube as I was racking into the bottling bucket, but I was worried that wouldn't be enough contact time. Do you think that would have worked?

I worked for me once before. Ran it through a few feet, don't remember how much now.
