hist-brewing: Need some ideas

[DonTygerTy at aol.com]

I Have not tried raw pears but I dont think much flavor would get through.  
You might get some wild yeast too from what I've read.  My batch was cloudy 
at first but after I filtered it it was crystal clear.  It took a few runs 
through the filer but it worked.
