Turning PINEAPPLES Into BEER!

[@gonewiththewynns]

Hope you guys enjoy this one! You asked for it so bust out your aprons and get to brewing. Let us know how your home brewed Pineapple Beer turns out. 🍻 We’re still stuck in Fiji waiting on borders to open, so if you want us to cover something specific please tell us in the comments below. 🙏🏼😍

Lab coats: what yeast? Baker's so LAB? Washing/rinsing off naturally occurring bugs/bad yeast (anything but LAB), yogurt yeasts would do? Bacteria eat sugar create CO2, EtOH, temperature dependent, and the boiled water was what temp? Room temp? Which is? Like a bakers notebook, writing down conditions for reproducing better batches. Just a guess, root beer extract and yeast, I never get temp right.... enough sugar? Isn't the PineApple sweet enough? At least you're not Bored. More kitten videos. Any luck with that adoption? FundRaiser results? Met goal and done?

[@Vivircer]

I know you guys have talked about this before and have a post about it, but as someone looking to move to the nomadic lifestyle I'd be really interested to see an update on how you guys make money! Hope you all are staying well, can't wait to see you guys reunited with curiosity x

To sharpen your knives, turn over any ceramic coffee or teacup and hone hte knife on the unglazed part of the bottom of the cup. Works like a charm!!

I was going to say the same thing! I cook professionally and have had to use that trick many times when supplies got moved/not brought when they were supposed to be!

I wish I saw this earlier. Stage hand Jason coming through with the practical effects was delicious. And God I love bloopers in the credit reel.

[@SkylinersYeti]

the one part of the pineapple you do not use can be planted in a pot and with some care one year later a new pineapple!

[@NMrick505]

AND if not a new pineapple at least a decent looking green plant like I have growing in a pot near a window right now.

[@herranton]

A top from a store bought pineapple will take a lot longer that 12 months. Plan on 24 months, at least.

[@Rudevette]

Now you’ll be diving into the long journey through malt extract kit brewing, then all grain, then the dark side where you ferment sugar washes to distill, before you know it you have a closet full of enzymes..... (I heard that from a “friend”)😜

[@Maxid1]

When I was a kid we made shrubs. Fresh picked berries, sugar and water in a large crockery. These ended up sweet. We made raspbery a lot and black cap because that's what grew around us in the highest quantities. They were really good. We wrote the start date on the calendar. Back when calendars were a thing.

[@apainlessone]

If you have to boil your water, it has to be cooled off so it doesn’t kill the yeast.

[@gonewiththewynns]

Great minds think alike...especially in the morning before coffee :).

Great info, I will have to try that tepache. If you don't have a knife sharpener and a little patience, you can use the bottom of your coffee mug as a sharpening stone.

[@trogdortheburninator3621]

I make tepaché with pineapple (just the skins, I eat the fleshy) brown sugar, water, and peppers. I let it go for a week or so. It gets bubbly,spicy, and a fair good tipsy. Bonus, you can can just refill the water afterwards and make a second batch from the first mix. Also I just burp my jar once a day, keeps it from exploding.

[@csjmoore]

Since you have time, an unbounded curiosity and dull knives make a strop ( or a semblance thereof). If there is a machine shop anywhere around get some polishing paste or go to the grocery store and get anything like sink cleaning compound then find the oldest, widest cowhide belt you can find and saturate the rough side with this paste and start honing :) Fine beach sand in a slurry of suet or lard might be a good compound to start with on very tightly woven local cloth mat. I guess you can tell that I like sharp things and this equates to safe things. Stay safe!

If you have a dinner plate in your apartment that is glass or china and the bottom edge is a little rough. You can use it to sharpen knives. Just drag your knife edge back and forth across the rough edge of the plate as you would if you had a real knife sharpener. It does work.

[@chuckcarpenter6858]

My high school buddy & I tried to collect the liquid from the corn stalks We placed funnels in 9 glass gallon bottles.in the base of the silo. The stalks picked up in the field & blown up into the silo. The con was fed to his dairy cows in the following months & eventually the gallon glass jugs with the funnels became visible.All that was left were broken glass bottles & funnel. his dad laughed at us as we cleaned out the silo & made it ready for more corn stalks. So much for fermentation & corn licker.

@@FermentationAdventure On Eleuthera, the tradition was to top it with gin. As little as a tea spoon or as much as you desire. It is an aeromatic more than a kicker.

Jason, if you can find a flat rock, even cement you can improve the edge of that knife. A flat river rock would be ideal.

[@busog97641]

Jason, about your blunt knife. What you can do to sharpen it is take it outside, find a kerb, or a large stone, and just slide the knife along the surface of the kerb or stone a few times. You will be quite pleased with the result.

[@Tenright77]

I am hoping you all can leave soon. I know you will enjoyed it happens. I started on May 1 traveling. I may had been a little early. I have just put up my first two RVing videos.

[@patrickjoneill5836]

If you're feeling adventurous perhaps you'd like to try distillation, depending on what alcohol level you've got your fermentation up to - if it's up to commercial wine strength, say 11 -12% or more it would work, probably not worth it if below that. It's not the Kentucky-style distillation, which is probably illegal, but on the same principle that alcohol has a lower boiling point than water, it has a higher melting point - so you freeze your brew. Get a clean plastic bottle, decant your brew (minus pineapple chunks, etc), filling the bottle three-quarters or so. Then bung it in the freezer until it's solid. Then take it out, upend it with the cap off. A liquid will run out leaving just clear ice. You may have got something up to liqueur strength, say the low 20% of alcohol. It may or may not be to your taste, but it's fun to try. I did it when I was holed up in Kuwait 25 or so years ago. I thought it would be nice to brew a nice sparkling white wine, so I got some cartons of apple juice and sugar, and scrounged some yeast off one of the many skilled home brewers that I met there. I must have vastly overestimated the amount of sugar, because the fermentation went on and on, in the end I had to put the container in the fridge to stop it - and ended up with a gallon or two of rough cider. It really was potent, probably approaching the limit at which yeast will tolerate alcohol, say 15%+ but made a good mixer with tonic water. I went on from that to freeze distil some of it, and that tasted really firey, although it was probably no more than 25% alcohol. Happy days.

[@lentongrovetrust5201]

Considering that the sale of alcohol has been banned for 8 weeks in SA, this recipe could be rather helpful. Stay safe folks

[@ronvoltz9125]

Been following y'all on and off for 6 years now. Keep up the great videos.

[@garyritter9076]

While your Isolated ,try to watch SV DELOS on you tube. In past videos they Distill and create whiskey, rum, vodka, gin, and scotch on their boat. And they even had it checked out by a Sottish distiller they met while he was on Holiday. He sent it back to his lab . So happy you found a new Life skill to use on your Journeys. May there be enough clouds in your sky,to make for a beautiful SUNSET.

[@TheHokkaidogaijin]

I am fermentation crazy also. I make yogurt once a week, Sauerkraut once every 3 months, eat fermented soy beans, and soybean paste. Make fermented hot sauce, fermented vegetables, cauliflower, carrots, garlic..........

[@MaShcode]

Natto or Japanese fermented soy beans! Which translated means "Not to" be served unless requested 😆 Iceland has a fermented shark dish that is high up on the avoid if you know what's good you list. Even the locals run the other way at the sight of it.

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Looks good! When I was a kid, my parents would male large jugs of wine. I remember the balloons getting big. All the containers were fermenting in our garage. One night there was a loud exploding sound. One of the containers exploded, the balloon, and neck of the bottle shot through the inside ceiling, and through the roof outside.

[@csemarketing2854]

You should call it WINE, because it is wine (Ice wine). I do it regularly. Little tip: Leave it there until the pineapple chunks sink. Then filter it and let it stand warm for another 4 weeks, then you have excellent pineapple wine with about 15% alcohol.

[@srqlisa7881]

Jason turn over a dinner plate or the edge of your big pot there and take your dull knife and sharpen on these edges. It may take a few more strokes and not be as sharp sharp, but it will be sharper. And if it doesn't work don't worry it's not your knife. lol So it works, but how's the buzz? : ) peace see you next on Curiosity.

[@elaca0]

Hi guys! I recommend throwing a clove and a cinnamon stick while it ferments for a nice flavor twist. Also switching your bottles to glass if possible. Plastic containers tend to leach into acidic drinks like kombucha and tepache.

[@gonewiththewynns]

We'd love glass but we're working with what we can get. And yes, we know about clove & cinnamon but we prefer to leave it plain for more flexibility when we're ready to drink it. 🍻

You can bring the edge back up on that knife by using the bottom of a ceramic coffee cup as a sharpening stone drag the blade equally left and right sides at the proper angle across the bottom it's like a very expensive ceramic sharpening stone PS good hack for the boat to.
