how did you prep?
did you boil the water and sugar until sugar was dissolved?

at what temp did you add the yeast?

One doesn't reveal Papa Pineapples brewing secrets easily.

/Sips drink

Same prep as for the pineapple brew, substituted the pineapple for cut up apples and used juice instead of water. My finger told me the temp was lekker but it's been known to be faulty.

Brewmart is also doing online orders. Ordered some stuff last week. They are really low on stock though so had to order Vienna as my base malt...

Waiting on an order from them as well. I took pilsner as a base malt.

We'll have to wait and see if they actually deliver...

Hope so, not looking forward to several months of no beer. They can at least open up the 4% and lower beers and not sell the spirits and higher alcohol drinks. Feels weird braaiing without a beer in hand.

Pineapple sales soar to 90,000 in a day from 10,000 amid booze ban

Home brewing during the Covid-19 ban on alcohol sales pushes up the price of pineapple, while potatoes and avocados are cheaper.

Four weeks into lockdown and without a rotisserie chicken in sight, South Africans are reconnecting with their kitchens. But it’s not demand for humble ingredients such as potatoes, garlic or onions that is rising exponentially, but rather pineapples.

This is probably not because homebound South Africans have a hankering for a Southeast Asian-inspired stir-fry or even a (deeply underrated) Hawaiian pizza. Rather, the right combination of pineapple, sugar and yeast can result in an alcoholic brew with a kick — something consumers are craving amid prohibition.

The numbers speak for themselves.

On the the first day of the nationwide Covid-19 lockdown in March, the Johannesburg fresh produce market sold 10,000 pineapples or so. On April 6 and 7 — a few days ahead of the Easter weekend — 60,000 pineapples were sold, reports BusinessLIVE.

Then this past Monday, volumes skyrocketed to 90,000 pineapples on the day.

Prices have responded — while pineapples sold for about R12.50 a kilo in March , they have shot up 80% to R22.50 last weekend.
