Read different methods have left me a tad confused, perhaps
someone will help..

I had a 25ltr plastic container full of home-grown pears. Last
Saturday I chopped them, removed the stalks and seeds and placed
the remainder, complete with skins back into the container. I
added water, sugar, yeast and some pectolase. Any activity got
off to a slow start and I stirred the mix once a day for the
first three days. Now it is bubbling and releasing gas about once
every twenty seconds. The fruit looks ok floating on the top, the
liquid is a brown colour and there is about 2cm of sediment at
the bottom of the container.

I will purchase a SG meter tomorrow.

Have I done this right, what do I do next and when please?

Thanks,
Mike.
