Isn't Mr. Shepherd trying to make a pear wine, not jelly? His stated =
purpose
for the bag is to hold "pear chunks and chopped golden raisins", =
presumably
to extact their flavour into the must. If so, he would be better off =

course material, or no bag at all, to extract the maxium amount of =
flavour,
tannins, and colour. A fine filter would be counter productive.
