THIS IS A SIMPLE RECIPE and it can vary greatly.
Be careful but don't be OCD!
Look after your yeast
Sugar does not equal sugar :)
Our recipe was:
• PINEAPPLE BEER step by step RECIPE
2 x pineapple
2.2 kg white sugar
20 g yeast
200 g treacle sugar
2 x thumbs of ginger
6 x earl grey tea bags
1 x lime's juice
to 18 L
Stage 1 - fermentation in the vessel. Leave it alone while it brews. Find an area of the house with stable temperatures so that the diurnal fluctuations are minimized. Leave the mixture to be uninterrupted for 7-9 days in the bucket
Stage 2 - carbonation and finishing are best done in 2L plastic bottles (coke, Fanta, Sprite types). They seal really nicely and also have a maximum loading pressure of 12 bar which is nice.
Refrigerate and drink within the next 6 days or until the next batch is ready
I compiled a list of do's and dont's for homemade pineapple beer to help you make a successful first batch where I talk about the steps and considerations to make a safe and drinkable pineapple beer. These tips have been compiled by asking a group of homebrewers for their input after successfully brewing their own batches and is intended to give you the knowledge required to get through a brew.
• HOMEMADE pineapple beer DO'S and DONT'S
To get "perfect' sterilization of all your equipment a 1 % solution of sodium hypochlorite will do the job (Calculation below). Realistically, most people don't do this and so I have been working on time + sun sterilization step using about 60 - 100 mL of bleach in the bucket.
To calculate your bleach from a known starting concentration use the following formula:
C1 (%) x V1 (mL) = C2 (%) x V2 (mL)
Your bleach (%) 3.5 x required volume (a) = 1% x amount required (2000 mL)
a = (1 x 2000) / 3.5
a = 571 mL and dilute to 2000 mL with water.
PRO TIPS!!!
BE WISE, STERILISE!
Don't boil the yeast
Do include extra nutrition for the yeast
Don't use aluminum
Don't leave it fermenting too long
Don't let it explode
Do use plastic for safety
Do leave bottles in a cooler while carbonating
DO ENJOY!
BE SAFE
