first time I've heard of pineapple in beer .... where'd you get this idea?
-
Hey Jake, Shane from Hammond River Brewing ( @Canuck (http://nbcba.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1189) ) posted a similar recipe on the Brewnoser forum a while back and it intrigued me. Hopefully it turns out well enough to share in a month!
-
Hmmmm...this does seem interesting. I bet some Nelson Sauvin would go wicked with this beer! Hope you can bring it to a meeting Jordan. :drink:
-
Definitely Al, I'll bring the results- good or bad. Tasting the OG sample, it didn't have a strong taste of pineapple so we'll see how it ferments out.
This is a pic of the hop/pineapple bag, post boil... tasted a few chucnks with the hop residue, and it was ... interesting

I would think a subtle flavour is all you'd want anyway.
-
Consider adding the fruit during secondary fermentation next time, it would be interesting to see if it is any better.
-
Kegged and sampled this last night... very subtle pineapple taste which is what I was shooting for, can't wait for it to carb up. I'll bring it to the 24th meeting.
-
Sounds really good, looking forward to trying it.
-
Cool. how much pineapple did you end up using in it?
I'll have a growler of raspberry wheat for the next meeting. I used right around a pound per 5 gallons in mine ... results in subtle fruit flavour.
-
I cut up a large pineapple from costco and put in the boil, didn't weigh it. 5 gallon batch

This will preserve a lot more of the fruit aromas, as the more delicate ones tend to get expelled during an aggressive primary ferment
-
Quick update on this one... at two weeks I didn't get much pineapple, and that was the common feedback at the last meeting. But at four weeks you seem to get the pineapple a lot more and it's quite tasty in my opinion

Might be the hops fading...
-
Yeah, that's my initial thought... not sure what I would do differently next time... don't think I would want the full flavour of adding it in secondary
-
After 2 months there is no pineapple flavour present at all... will definitely change methods of adding the pineapple in version 2
-
It was interesting tasting Hammond River's Pineapple PA. I didn't pick up any pineapple. He uses the same method of adding pineapple too... in fact it was his post on the Brewnoser forum that I pulled the idea from.
-
I also didn't pick up on any pineapple flavor from the Hammond River brew. Pretty good beer though.
-
I also had the chance to try it and I also didn’t get any pineapple flavour or aroma. Still a good p-a though
