I don't dislike many things but pineapple is close to the top of the list of things i do, i hope it turns out well.

Beware the volatile pineapple fermentation, it will try to climb its way out of the demijohn. Blow off tube recommended.

My attempts as a WOW with a litre of pineapple juice
came out undrinkably acidic

Left fruit in for 2 weeks then strained thru muslin bag.Hopefully the only thing that will be blowing of is me after consuming my Brussels sprout wine. LOL.
Took a gravity reading before starting fermentation. if i read it correctly i should end up with around12% proof.

Also heard that pineapple juice gives you one bad hangover

Just done 1ltr rgj with 2 litres pineapple together with 2 dj’s of chippys recommended rjg and apple. The pineapple is certainly going now. Did these on Sunday. I’ve stuck it on a tray and hope for the best, but reading this I’m not sure. Good trying different things though.

Made some with juice last year and it very nice. It does produce loads of crud but cleared on its own

It’s gone volcano. I filled 3/4 but topped up end of day 2. Thinking the worst is over. Wrong. Got up this morning to find it had exploded. In deepus crappus with missus as it really made a mess.
Cleaned dj in warm water, another mistake as it went again!
Oh well, live and learn. Just hope it’s drinkable

I now don't top up until after I have racked for degassing and clearing having had the same happen in the past.
