Homemade PINEAPPLE WINE with 11.7% of ALCOHOL

[@Josephthinleg]

I watched his video twice and wrote down his instructions and also converted to USA measurements for when I make it. Figured I'd share :) Also, great Video!! Pineapple Wine Recipe: Pineapple - 6.61 lbs (about 3 pineapples) Sugar - 2.20 lbs Water - 1.05 gallons Limes - 2 1 cup of tea ½ tsp yeast Remove top and bottom of pineapple, cut in chunks Add everything except the sugar and yeast into pot and bring to a boil. Once at a boil, turn off heat and stir in sugar. Once at room temp pour everything into container and add yeast, stir, and cover. Shake daily for 4 days, then drain liquid from the fruit For sparkling wine: After 7 days, bottle and add 10g (2 tsp) of sugar per 1 liter (0.26 gallon) of water. After 2 weeks wine is ready to drink.

@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato Oh! No problem! I figured since measurements are different in different countries it will help more people with your great recipe! I made this measurement conversion for myself for when I make it so figured I'd share. I looked up avg size of pineapples, it said most are 2 pounds average, so i assume 3 would be good. How many did you use?

[@christianmpassi3450]

The recipe works with variations on different fruits. I live in Congo, Africa. Many years ago we made such wine for own pleasure using mangos, ordinary yeast and sugar which fermented two weeks. We also used bananas on another occasion. We just lacked an instrument to measure the degree of alcohol.

@christianmpassi3450 hi, so you mean those your drink were good and you were happy with them? I'm in Italy but i like to ferment and sometimes I buy palm wine from the Africa minimarkets :) but i want to make something sweeter myself, with your method (similar to east european rye bread beer "kvass", our friend here cuoredicioccolato made a good video on how to make kvass as well). Cheers!

[@Cruiser4Life5107]

I made this and tonight was our first tasting. It is dry and crisp, and not that bad. Something interesting, I made a total of 6 bottles. So far we have opened 2 of them, and each one taste noticeably different. One had the slight taste at the end of pineapple, the other had a noticeable taste of the lime's rind. I've read people asking about the small bottles. I used 16 ounce swing top beer bottles with flip-top airtight lids and 5 grams of sugar per bottle. I had no problems with them. However, I will say, when I opened the first bottle and it "popped", it made me jump back and laugh. I did not lose any of the product. Thank you for the great video, I enjoyed making my first sparkling wine, it was a cool experience.

How do you get it carbonated???

@@journeytrials the sugar added into each bottle when bottling the wine will start it fermenting again. This secondary fermentation creates the carbonation. (Just like the initial fermentation in the big container) The added sugar at the bottling step is where the 0.5% increase in alcohol content comes from when he was doing his calculations.

I need to add regarding your conical fermenter, you will always get the settled yeast when you first open the fermenter (that one that broke while you used it, The way you are doing it at the end with the bucket \ pail the sediment of yeast is much more controlled as it settles below the tap and won't mix onto the bottles when you decant it into glass bottles!

[@adekunleadebayo5094]

Thanks a lot for sharing your receipe. I made a batch of pineapple wine in the lab by extracting the pineapple juice and then fermenting. Natural pineapple juice has a sugar content of 18% - 20% and you need to add some sugar to get up to 23-24% to give you a wine with 11-12%. The product is a very clear wine at the end of fermentation. I will try adding the tea extract for extra tannins and the lime juice for additional tartness.

Have made white wine from pineapple myself. It turned out to be the best white wine I have ever made. Only used pineapple and raisins. 1 part raisins to 3 parts pineapple. But I let it get a little too strong before I stopped the fermentation. Measured almost 19% on the finished wine.

[@littlebones88]

@@warlockpaladin2261 Absolutely brother. You have to step feed (can't add all sugars at once), though I only add honey twice. And of course, you have to use an 18% alcohol tolerance yeast. Then, if you give your yeast a good environment and add proper amount of nutrients and degas gently (swirling) through the process your yeast will mutate and tend to go above the stated 18% limit.

[@RIRI-el6xm]

The pips or pits are known to make methanol upon fermentation. When it is possible to remove them, it is better. When we do distillation, we remove the beginning of the juice that comes out of the still (to remove the methanol). But in a wine this is not possible, so remove the pits for more safety... I recommend you to make effervescent (this goes well with this type of fruit) There are guys who do this with cana sucre (a sparkling wine) on the French Caribbean islands, using the champenoise method, and it's super nice. At home, if you have bottles, you can use the Champagne method. Refermentation in the bottle, then the base of the bottle is frozen with the dead yeasts and the ice cap is disgorged. Before closing. (don't be mistaken about the amount of sugar otherwise the bottle will burst). In Italy you have the Martinotti method process, commonly used in Proseco or Lambrusco. Very effective, but this requires heavy equipment (pressurized tank) etc.

Everything was going great in the fermenter and I got bubbles in the airlock every 7 seconds. 7 days later, the airlock was still very active but I noticed the pineapple was dropping so I decided to transfer the wine to a new fermenter. After that transition the airlock just don't have activity anymore. It has been like that for the last 36 hours. My question is, is the wine ready or I messed up? Should I add for yeast or should I bottle it? Thanks mate and keep the good work.

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Do you have a hydrometer? Have taste it?

[@DiogoCabral20]

@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato don't have a hydrometer. I did taste a sip from the bottom of the first fermenter. It tasted like a strong pineapple flavour with some acidic and almost bitter in the end. It was mostly dead yeast so I may not have the precise taste of the final product. Definitely could taste alcohol in it and it felt strong and very expressive. I'm just afraid to bottle it too soon.

Hello, thanks for this recipe. I made it 1 year ago and stored some bottles, after some months like 8-9 stored and opened the bottles recently the wine taste so much better and sparkling like a champagne. It inspired me so much that I want to thank you for the good times learning this art. I'm from south america so pinneaples are suitable to make wines. have a question, it is necessary to cook the lemos with the peels or just adding the lime juice is ok? Also the peel of the pinneaple is needed? I made this recipe like 5 o 6 times but want to improve

Ciao. I am making your pineapple wine recipe right now. Thank you for the video. I am going to be bottling in a few days and I wanted to know if I need to worry about explosions? When we put the wine into the bottle with sugar it starts to ferment again. Do I need to put everything into the fridge? Will the bottles not explode? grazie per il tuo tempo e il tuo aiuto

thank you for this great video. Two questions if I may, 1. What is the room where you are keeping it for fermenting? 2. Can you do this without the sugar? Some variety of pineapple are naturally very sweet and hence asking.

Hi, thank you so much for the recipe. I've already prepared the first fermentation batch. I just had one doubt - once we transfer the wine to a bottle with 10g of sugar, do we keep the bottle in fridge for 2 weeks? Or should we keep it outside?

You need more sugar next time follow this recipe kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ6We52pequMmZI

[@Chevsilverado]

@@jean-pierreschall1500 You need to stabilize the yeast before you sweeten it. You’ll add some chemicals to stabilize then add more sugar a week later to sweeten. Alternatively, you can add erythratol to sweeten since the yeast can’t consume that, and it’ll taste pretty much exactly the same as regular sugar in a wine.
