I'm going to attempt a grape/pineapple "adult beverage" (don't want to offend or confuse anyone and call it a cider;)). In going to make it a 4 gallon batch and my process is going to be very similar to one of my cider batches. Wish me luck.

Oh man! This stuff is going to be potent! I can feel it! Hopefully delicious too:)

So far I've added 2.5 gallons of the grape juice, 1.5 gallons of pineapple juice, 4 cans of grape juice concentrate and 2 tsp. of pectic enzyme. I went with Wyeast 4766 and will add that also when it's ready.

A little tasty teaser, OG reading coming right up.

I was at fresh and easy and was browsing their 100% juice selection. I origanally wanted to do a pure Concorde grape in a 2.5 gallon batch and another 2.5 of cherry/pineapple but the price on the cherry went up to $3.99 a quart:( I'm not going to pay that much on an experiment, so I went with the grape/pineapple infusion idea:) no idea how it's going to turn out, just know its going to be different.
