Foreword
by ANYA FERNALD

MY FIRST SIP of perry was a revelation. I was standing in the backyard of a small farm in Gloucestershire, outside of a shed where bottles of perry were racked up alongside a cider press. The perry was poured into a cold glass from a smoky green bottle sealed with a plug of cork. It was fizzy, dry, sharp, and flavorfulthe essence of pear filled my mouth. Before that first taste, beyond an occasional glass of hard cider, I had never thought much about the full spectrum of strong waters that this book presents.
The farms huge pear trees dwarfed the farmhouse; the branches high overhead were speckled with tiny pears, each no longer than my thumb. These pithy, tart pears were inedible on their own, but they were central to the rich, complex flavor of the perry. I was amazed both that the possibility of creating perry had escaped me up until then, and that such a dry and unappealing fruit could become such a delicious drink after some alone time in the cellar.
The pride and excitement of the home perry producer who poured me that first glass also intrigued metheres something about harnessing the power of fermentation for your own drinking pleasure thats thrilling. When starting a fermentation, you can control the outcome to a degreeyou select the ingredients: the juice, the sugar, the yeast. Then things pass out of your handsfor example, sometimes bacteria are activated by an abundance of sugar and generate additional and highly localized flavors.
Infinite adventures can be pursued within a dark, corked bottle. With patience and experimentation, you can brew a bright idea into a glassful of something wonderful. Some historic strong waterslike my first glass of perryrequire specific varieties of plants and specific methods of production that are crucial to producing the beverage. But those are the exception, not the rule. Strong Waters will give you a sense of the guidelines, tell you where the walls are on this very large sandbox, and encourage you to jump in and play.
A lot of words have been spent describing the many possible pairings of different wines with meals and with artisan products like cheese and charcuterie. As you begin to sample and to produce other fermented beverages like beer, cider, perry, and the occasional bottle of metheglin, you may findas I havethat these drinks are often preferable to wine for pairing with food, as they tend to be lighter, fresher, and more flexible than most wines.
Strong Waters will be a companion on your adventures in making tipple, giving you sound advice and pointers, and just enough direction to use author Scott Mansfields tools and building blocks to develop your own skills. A world of new flavors is waiting for youhave fun!
