    Keep those skins and the core for a low alcohol refreshing pineapple drink called tepache! Takes only 4-6 days for a really good probiotic drink. Really easy and it uses the natural yeast on the skin to ferment with.

    I was watching until you talked about using a funnel to pour your sugar into the bottle with a small head. If someone is so stupid as to need explaining the use of a funnel I want them to spell it all over so I can laugh about it, some of you all video makers need to realize if you keep time taking dribble out of your videos it will get you subscriptions and likes, but when you try to explain then need of a funnel to put stuff int a small space all you get is a thumbs down for thinking your audience is stupid as hell.

    If you are making this to drink right away, no need to add chemical stabilizers. That's only for those lofty enough to want to make wine sitting on a shelf for years so they can one day get bragging rights before they die.

    • @letswineaboutit
      @letswineaboutit 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Because pouring through a funnel would expose the cider to too much oxygen, which is always risky business post-fermentation. Oxygen at this point will contribute to off flavors and flatten out the cider pretty quickly.

    totally awesome explanation for someone who is a novice.

      Usually the only time I can smell it is when my nose is right above the airlock, sometimes when I walk into the room if the air is still after a few days but that's very subtle. The smell is a pleasant smell that for me has a sweet clean air/ozone smell which sounds a little weird but over all its just subtle smell of the good drink your making.

      You can shake it when it's about half filled, particularly important to get an initial amount of air/oxygen in there for the yeast to really grow with. This can be with or without the fruit added, but make sure your bag is well tied if you are using one.
