Never had a good experience fermenting OJ. I suspect pineapple would be worse.

Balls. oh well, I guess I will see what happens. Worst case scenario I dilute it with more cider or apple juice until it becomes pallateable.
My hope is that it will work together in some amazing coctail of deliciousness, but i am new to this game. It tasted pretty nice at the onset, so I just dont know...
Thanks

I'm new to this game myself, but I will share this wisdom - as time and yeast increase, sugars available decrease. So if what you're making contains a good deal of sugar, it will taste drastically different after fermentation unless you kill/slow down/remove the yeast somehow.

My brother and I did that with a fantastic tasting honey and a pretty gutsy (read: dry) mead yeast. Honey minus sugar does not taste how you would expect. But then we learned to backsweeten. I guess you could do that to this too... well, let us know how it turns out!

Turns out the whole thing doesn't taste at all like I envisioned. The OJ and pineapple juice did combine to make a nice tangy flavor, the cider and apple juice made a nice cidery booze content. But the the other juices take the edge off. I probably should have put more cinnamon and whatnot in. But I am still pretty pleased with it.

spice it in secondary if you want more and then let it age several months

This ended up tasting like spiced orange juice. Not a fan. But it is in bottles now, and I am hoping that aging it will make it taste better, but I am not holding my breath. After I filled all my bottles I had a little left in my fermentor covering my yeast cake so, thinking "what the hell" I put about a gallon of apple juice on top of it, made an apple tea with cored, peeled and quartered apples, some cinnamon sticks, cloves, nutmeg, honey, about 1/8 of a vanilla bean and some praline maple syrup I found at the store. Let that steep for 30 minutes or so at ~130*F let it cool, tossed it into the jug (i put all the solid stuff into a bag so it would be easier to pull out later) pitched some bread yeast and let it go. about about a month later and it is tasting good. I pulled all the solid stuff out and now it's a waiting/how patient can I be game.

Oh, I also filled the fermentor with water up to the 2 gallon mark.

The second batch was way better than the first.

In other news, the first batch has been aging for a while, and I try a bottle every now and again. The flavor is actually calming down a bit. Not that I would give this stuff away, but it is tasting better. So maybe a few more decades and it will be good.
