Pears would probably work out great with this yeast (provided it is the
actual Lambic yeast, and not just a yeast purchased from the area). The
yeast naturally causes wort or must to sour, but not like vinegar. A
secondary fermentation (usually for ales) with crushed fruit is very good
with this strain of yeast, or so it seems. I just know that I LOVE
Lindemann's Peche, Kriek, and Framboise Lambics. Sour, fruity beer...who'da
thunk it?
