2-4-23<\/strong>\r\n2 Gallons Great Value 100% apple juice\r\n3 1.4 lb cans Pineapple Chunks in juice\r\n1 tsp Pectic Enzyme\r\n2 tsp Yeast Nutrient\r\n1 package Lalvin 71B yeast\r\n\r\nI added both gallons of apple juice to the sanitized bucket.\r\nI added all three cans of pineapple in a straining bag to the bucket. Including the juice from the cans. \r\nI added the Pectic Enzyme to the bucket and 1 tsp of the Yeast Nutrient.\u00a0 \r\nI'm rehydrating the yeast in warm water and I added 1 tsp of the Yeast Nutrient to this slurry.\u00a0\u00a0 \r\nI pitched the yeast to some very cold juice.\u00a0 It was setting at about 60 degrees when I pitched it.\r\nStarting Gravity 1.052. If it goes to 1.000 the potential ABV is 6.89%.\r\n\r\n\r\n2-10-23<\/strong><\/pre>\n
6 days.\u00a0 That’s all it took to ferment this.\u00a0 I didn’t sanitize the hydrometer or the cylinder so I had to taste what I extracted.\u00a0 It went down to 1.000.<\/strong>\u00a0 It’s very dry and has just a hint of pineapple.\u00a0 I’m going to leave the pineapple in for another week.\u00a0 Then I’m going to rack and add some clearing agent.\u00a0 I’d like to leave this racked until the end of the month to clear.\u00a0 Then I will add some back sweetener.<\/p>\n

\nI racked it off the pineapple today.\u00a0 I added 1 tspn of clay to help clarify.\u00a0 Should be ready to bottle on 3\/1\/23.\u00a0 It is still very dry but last time I tasted I added some sweetener.\u00a0 It was very very good with sweetener.<\/p>\n

I back sweetened with 2 cups Splenda and 1 tsp vanilla extract.\u00a0 I transferred to the keg.\u00a0 I had some left out of the 2 gallons so\u00a0 I added 1 cup white sugar and about 1 tsp of bread yeast to bottle carbonate the cider.\u00a0 Hopefully I didn’t add to much sugar.\u00a0 2 1\/2 bottles are in the “Bottle Shelter” in case the go BOOM!!<\/p>\n

I actually keged 1 gallon of this.\u00a0 At first it was wayyyy to sweet.\u00a0 We all tried it and agreed it was to sweet.\u00a0 After setting in the keg for about a week it really kind of mellowed though.\u00a0 It’s still to sweet but it’s very drinkable.\u00a0 I will be trying to improve this recipe.<\/p>\n
Clarity was a 10
\nMouthfeel was a 7
\nTaste was a 6 (to sweet)
\nABV 6.8%<\/p>\n
