Nice

Mine doesn't have anything like that. Just looks like normal juice with a faint whizzing sound

check if your yeast is ok, mine is only a little sugar yeast and juice following steamy toms receipe

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

Looking good, I see bubbling
I have a hunch this Rhodes Pineapple Crush might just work

How will I know if the yeast is fine ? I also only used the juice and a few tablespoons of sugar and the yeast. I presume if the yeast didn't activate properly then I cannot add new ones now ?

Well let's see. I tried some of this. But far too early to tell whether it will turn into anything alcoholic.

What will happen if your fermentation bucket isnt air tight? I've seen pictures of guys making brews in cooler boxes and open buckets.

an infection could happen

So I want to try this obviously, should I fit a one way vent valve to the bucket lid? So fermentation gasses out but no fresh air in? Would that work?

if you have one or can make one then definitely do it, but if you don't you could get away with it most often provided you steralise everything properly.

Brewers Yeast is used to feed horses.

1kg for 154.34 - https://www.westernshoppe.com/23018/aktiv equine brewers yeast 1kg.aspx

The text on that website seems to imply that this is a live culture, though other horse feed websites imply that horse-feed yeast has been pasturised (ie killed).

Does anyone know?

I'm 95% certain that yeast is dead. A by-product of large-scale fermentation.

 

[petum]

Made 2 batches the same. Ones bubbled like a mofo, the other hardly.. Should I turf the it?

A friend bought some, I suggested he put some in a sugar/water mix and see if it activates.

Seeing as human yeast supplements are dead I imagine horse supplements are too

No, let it do its thing.
