Lockdown booze recipes

Oi I blend mine, much better taste as you actually get pineapple juice I blend as far is it will blend down, then on the 4th day I strain it add apple juice 20 percent per bottle for second ferment leave outside for 6 hours capped then pop in fridge overnight to enjoy the next day super yummy and kicks as well

So wait, if I ferment it for four days before I bottle it, etc, that's too short, but if you do it that way it's fine?

Mine slowed down and I added apple juice for the second ferment so its all done on day 5

Yeah, and how is that any way different to what I'm doing? Sort answer, it isnt. I put mine in on Monday, it's Friday and I'm only now bottling a couple small samples.

Sounds to me like you're rushing things.

Guys, no need to fight. Fact is without a hydrometer, none of you know when or where you fermentation are. It differs from batch to batch and day to day. Today you make this beer and it'll take 4 days to ferment to completion. Do it next week and it might take twice as long. You don't know, because you're not measuring anything.

Just put sugar and yeast together and get drunk. Don't be an ass. Be a happy Papa Pineapple drunk.

Nope. Don't you remember from science class that yeast converts sucrose more efficiently than fructose?

someone told me to add some Tarter as well for extra kick as that is the way she has been making it
im no scientist so i wouldnt know
all i can think is it changes the PH level in the beginning and this causes a reaction with the yeast, water & sugar

I didn't know this. All I know is yeast eat sugar. And you get different yeast strains that eat different sugars at different speeds. I have no idea what baking yeast does.

Got some ginger as well, anyone has a ginger recipe?

Dropping the PH will make the ferment take longer though.

I do the bottom as a base but will add remove things as I feel. You can add cinnamon and play with the brown/white sugar percentages or add molasses etc.
Will be quite strong so add 250g less sugar to drop down to +-6%

6l water
300g ginger finely grated
500g brown sugar
500g white sugar
Juice from 2 lemons
6g brewers yeast

Boil 4l water, cool and add to fermentation bucket.
Boil 2l water add ginger.
Slowly add sugar while stirring.
Boil for further 10 mins
Add lemon juice
Boil 2-5mins

Cool and add to fermentation bucket.

Add yeast

Most of the guys seem to be drinking their beer after simple sugar fermentation is mostly done. If you leave it longer the yeast will process the other sugars as well as clean up some of the sulfers and esters and things then clump together or drop out of suspension taking away the yeasty flavours.

You want ginger beer or a sterri stumpy?
Its high alcohol with a good amount of ginger and I know people who complain its not enough so its not that strong.

You guys are just thinking small. Make 20l at a time then you have enough to leave the other bucket alone for a bit. Its worth the extra few days.
