Want to make beer from pineapples? If you get it wrong, you may get ill – or maimed | News24

Pineapples and yeast are flying off the store shelves, and it’s not because of baking.

If everyone had stayed chill about it the stuff would all still be on the shelves

Someone get the airforce to fly our sommelier @Papa Smurf to Kimberly.

Pine time.

I bought pines last week that have ripened nicely. Will have to find time to whip up a batch tonight.

I know where he got the water from.

I'm just whining cause I can only brew mine on the weekend and then its a week of staring at bubbles and another week of opening the fridge every 5 minutes to see if its ready yet.

Right, bottled last night.
Pineapple beer starting off at 1.062 and finishing at 0.992.
Apple/tea/pineapple beer starting at 1.035 and finishing at 1.01. So suppose to be 9.1% & 3.3% alcohol then I think.

Mead was starting to taste rotten a few weeks after adding raisins to boost the fermentation. Used an empty osa olive oil can and some aluminium tubes to make a rudimentary still.
The can works on my induction stove, at 80 deg, the alcohol cooked out and caught in a coke bottle. The stuff burns with a blue flame, so hopefully mostly ethanol. Got quite a buzz from 2 glasses of the grog mixed with coke.
Tomorrow i`ll buy a 6 pack of alcohol free "beer" and put the alcohol back to turn it into beer.

I spoke to Ryan from Brew Craft this morning. They are doing online orders only but stocks are limited. Managed to get my order in with them and now just waiting on eft to clear and then couriers.

Just wish I had a source of bottles in Durban. Allegedly Console and Nampack are not allowed to sell beer/spirit bottles until level 3.

Wouldnt the 500ml Cooldrink glass bottles (Coke, Fanta, Stoney etc) with its twist cap work a treat for home brewing? Still available at several smaller outlets.. Cafes and so forth. Our Spar here recently stocked them too.

So my 1st batch of pineapple beer has been bottled and I also started brewing a 2nd batch of guava & pineapple.

I had 4 drafts last night, and i completely underestimated the strength. This stuff is hella strong, it has a massive kick.
