How do you make pineapple wine?????
Answers:
If you can get an old glass water jug ( they look like the plastic water cooler ones but just glass should be 5 gallons)
Then You will need a breather for it. This is an item that will let the fermenting air out but wont let any air in. (this will also keep your bottle from building up pressure and exploding.
Take the pinaplles and cut them up. Throw the good pieces into a blender to mash it all up and get the juice out of it. Then dump this into the "jug" try to fill it halfway up .
Then take and do a 1-2 ratio of sugar to water and boil it on the stove so the sugar dissolves into the water. Let it cool and fill the jug the rest of the way up. Leave a little bit of room at the top . You can then add fermenting yeast to the mixture.
Cap and then put it in a cool dark area..ive found 72 degrees works best in my area.
After about 6 months take it out and strain it . After you have removed the puree put the rest of the juice back in the jug. After about two more months it should be done.
take it out and bottle it.
If you really want to be sure its done get a hydrometer. it will measure the density of the wine and tell you when the sugar has been used up.
A 5 gallon jug will make around 2 gallons of wine.
get a bottle of pineapple juice and poke a hole in the top with a pin. Then let it ferment for about a year. WAALAAA! PINEAPPLE WINE! It takes a while but it really works!

I don't know if you have any wine making experience or not. Here is a link to a few pineapple wine recipes http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/request...
If you are new to the wine making process (which is very easy to learn) you may want to go to the main part of the site which has some useful instructions on the process. The main thing I recommend you do is find and use wine yeast. Bread yeast can be used but it doesn't provide the same flavor, strength, or speed as yeast developed for wine.
I do not recommend the leave it open for a while and see what happens method. Although it can work because there are airborn wild yeasts that can find and turn your juice into wine, the odds are better that wild mold, or bad yeasts will get to it first. And it is really easy to do it the right way.
Happy wine making!
