Tepache [Fermented Pineapple] {Full Episode}

[@Vehilwen]

I like the vibe of your videos. 😊 Unique and calm. I like making jams so I would be happy to see a video about jam making in the future! Keep up the good work. 😊

[@thesilentchef]

Thank you. I"m glad you enjoy them, and will definitely put some jam on the upcoming content list!

[@GreenLifeInDublin]

You have my full attention! I definitely want to try this :)

[@thesilentchef]

I'm honored! Let me know how it goes and if you have any questions!

[@yusoffzakiabibakar5480]

The silent chef, do you have a breakdown of its contents such as alcohol, sugar etc ?

[@thesilentchef]

I currently can't give an exact number, since I don't have the equipment to test for alcohol content. It will likely be 2% or less though, and will not have much sugar content since that's what the yeast feeds on.

Mannnnnn....what a treat ❤.

[@thesilentchef]

Thanks!

[@marinaagathangelou4049]

I’m a bit confused to what exactly is this? Have you fermented the fruit like you do when making sauerkraut or is this a vinegar like when you make apple cider vinegar or is a wine haha I’m confused as to my knowledge it can’t be a ferment as you add salt to that and making vinegars from fruit takes a month so what is this I’m very curious? Thanks 😊

[@thesilentchef]

No worries! I completely understand where the confusion comes from. So, without getting into too much chemistry detail: this is a yeast(ethyl alcohol) fermentation rather than lacto fermentation. It’s closer to how beer or wine is fermented and therefore will kind of taste somewhere in the middle of those 2 things. I compare it to maybe a low alcohol sour beer in terms of flavor (it’s very unique though and that’s just a rough comparison).

[@marinaagathangelou4049]

@ thank you for your reply! Looks great 👍

[@thesilentchef]

@@marinaagathangelou4049 Of course! Always happy to help!

Will washing the pineapple reduce the fermentation process

[@thesilentchef]

Yes it will, but I cannot definitively say it will completely stop fermentaion from occuring. Buying organic pineapple & organic ginger can give you some extra wiggle room, potentially. (If you have access to these, of course)

[@bishwajeetjha5733]

What was the first thing you put in jar

[@thesilentchef]

Brown sugar. The ingredient list in the description is always in order of appearance/use.

[@jam_brit4572]

Can I still make this without the skin

[@thesilentchef]

Unfotunately no. The pineapple skin is what has the necesary bacteria that drives the fermentation.
