Marco's Young (dumb) Pinapple Mead (test)
---------------------------------

Ingredients-
1/2 lbs cheap honey
3 fl oz crushed pinapple
10 raisins
1/4 cinnamon stick
1/2 clove
1 tsp bread yeast

750 ml recipe (testing)

Mix all of the ingredients but the yeast in the bottle on top of 2 cups hot water and shake the crud up like you hate it. top to 3/4 full with cold water and shake it a bit more. Drop the yeast on top and shake it a bit more. Throw the airlock on it and let it sit as long as you can and hopefully it will turn out good.

This is a test, based on JAOM. Basically, I had some leftovers from my JAOM and got antsy.

There's a mead forum.

OK, sorry. I thought this was a general recipes section.

It is, it just may get more attention with the mead crowd.

If you want to post it for feedback, you can stick it here:

And if it's a tried and true recipe that you've successfully done, it can go here:

This is more of a beer recipe forum so you won't be hitting your intended audience.

Good to know. Thanks. Possibly a mod can move it for me?

I'll move it for you. Hahaha, just kidding I forgot I have no power around here.

Sounds good--I like the recipe and the idea of bottle-size test batches. I know bread yeast is dirt cheap, but still, that's seems like a lot of yeast for one bottle. If you did 3 or 4 test batches at a time you could probably cover them all from that one teaspoon of yeast. But I like the idea of a pineapple mead.

I ran the JAOM on friday at 2 and the MYdPM at about 9pm they are both bubbling about the same rate now. I will probably run the liquid through some cloth.

Your showing up in the mead forum now.
I will be interested in this also, you did not use too much pineapple. When ever I brewed with pineapple it always went very dry and tart.
If this comes out well for you I might shoot to try something similar with an ale yeast.
