If you are interested
I found a recipe online for a pineapple beer .
I have saved you all the time by making it.
The recipe I used
I pineapple chopped and thoroughly scrubbed clean.( skin included ) no green leaves.
1/2 cup of raisins
I cinnamon stick
5 cups of plain white sugar
8 litres of hot water - my tap water is about 70 degrees.
The recipe said hot water - not boiling. It sounds a bit dangerous.
I fully expected to have a big mouldy stinking mess in my fermenter ...but no.
I pitched it with a sachet of good old bog standard coopers kit yeast I had.
However next time I might try something else.
I have only ever made beer before so this was my first attempt.
Maybe a wine yeast or champagne yeast might be better????
finished product.
Friends have all said they liked it and have even had seconds.
I kegged it and gassed up...but the gas up was a bit of a stuff up as I hardly had the gas turned on...
I took it to a home brew club day and nobody that I know of died from drinking it.
My wife has been drinking it with ice and some fresh mint.
