Question: I dehydrate my own pineapple. Could I use dehydrated pineapple for this recipe? Do I only use rinds or can I use the actual pineapple?

Hello! In order to get the same results in this recipe, the tepache would really need the bacteria and yeast found on the skin of the pineapple. We believe frozen pineapple peel should work just fine because it should keep the bacteria and yeast in tact once it thaws. However, dehydrating even the pineapple peel could potentially heat it up too high and kill the bacteria and yeast that is needed. Here's another option for you though. You could use a ginger bug starter culture along with your dehydrated pineapple!! Here's how to make a ginger bug: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qaiWk6Svgri9naw.html

I am from Colima Mexico, and the way I do it, is I yes use the pineapple peel, regular sugar, water, and for half gallon of liquid use 1/8 of spoon of wine yeast, this way you going to have tepache in 8 hours, and to me the flavor is the same,.

I made him Tepache years ago and he liked it, however kombuchas have less sugar and are a better choice for regular consumption (for less sugar consumption)… either way, enjoy your fermented drinks! 🍺 🍍 🎉

Gracias. I’m Mexican and I made tepache recently. I used the bottom of the pineapple also. I washed with a scrub. I use a cone of piloncillo and add brown sugar also, and added, the cloves and black peppercorns. I did not use any heat for the process, just I grated the piloncillo. In my country the vendors sale the drink in summer.

Funny, when you mentioned watermelon pickles I had a brief flashback to my childhood. One of my many uncles who was a farmer like my father, he loved fresh watermelon. Every summer when they ripened he would invite the whole family over for a cook out and a horse tank full of ice cold beer and watermelon. He would then sort through the rinds and make sweet watermelon pickles that were amazing tasting. I hit 60 cycles this year and am happy you two are continuing the old ways, bless you. P.S.

If you leave it out of the fridge, it will continue to ferment quickly, which would change the taste and would also become more alcoholic.

@FermentationAdventure

11 ай бұрын

Yes, tepache is typically really active because of the sugars in the pineapple. Any ferments with fresh fruit will tend to be much more active. On these, it's helpful to let it ferment a little longer until the point that the bubbles settle down a bit before any secondary fermentation (bottling). And it's always recommended to burp the bottles every month once they're stored in the refrigerator. Hope that helps! 😄

Greetings from Mexico City!!! Loved your video. I remember growing up and drinking delicious tepache at my grandmother’s house, this was a looong time ago (I’m 50 now). What I recall from her recipe is that she crushed the pineapple peels to enhance flavor (I don’t remember if she also 17:25 added the cores), AND she did use PILONCILLO as a sweetener, which gave the final beverage a nice earthy caramel touch. So, I do encourage you guys to add the piloncillo as an alternative to the sugar/molasses blend. BTW there is also a corn based fermented beverage in Mexico called TEJUINO

We're so happy you're enjoying our videos Jackie! If you're doing a secondary ferment to get pressure for the fizziness, definitely DON'T use a mason jar! They aren't built for pressure and would probably crack pretty easily. If you don't have any of the glass bottles, a thick soda bottle would work but the flip-top caps make it a lot easier. Watch the pressure though! You don't want any explosions. Happy fermenting!

In order to get similar results, we'd recommend making your first batch of tepache with the original recipe in this video, and then using that finished tepache as your starter culture for future batches. Have fun!

Hello! Yes it can certainly be decreased. You could let it ferment longer, which would have less sugar remaining. You could also decrease the amount of sugar in this recipe and see how your ferment does. It should still ferment with much less sugar. Hope that helps!

Hi, Brilliant video's & you two appear to have fun doing them. I want to make Tepache but don't have any brown sugar. I have ordinary white granulated and also have some golden candy sugar which I made for some of my home brew beer recipes. I'm tempted to use the candy sugar as it has a slight caramel flavour & is also inverted so easier to ferment... or should I wait until I can pick up some brown sugar from the store. What do you guys think?

Hi! Thanks so much for watching! We actually just made a batch without molasses (brown sugar) and it turned out delicious as well. It was just more mild and lighter in color. Actually, we let it ferment for just over a week and it tasted like a light white wine! Anyway, we like your idea of using the caramel flavor candy sugar and think that would be wonderful for Tepache. Enjoy!!

I made some tepache for the first time, and I even gave you a shoutout. I was recording a tasting of three variations of it. 😊 Uploaded just today!

@FermentationAdventure ok you said it's ok to use all that stuff in the jar a second time (adding more brown sugar, of course)? My (2nd batch with fresh ingredients) will be ready to strain and bottle tonight and I was thinking about reusing the ingredients from this batch a second time). Also, I haven't been using tester bottles, but I have clear bottles and I've been burping those things (for my water kefir) every several hours just to stay on the safe side. Didn't bottle my first batch of tepache, just strained and put it back in the mason jars and took them to a birthday party with those handle and pour tops like you have. The others really seemed to like the darker one that did have brown sugar.

That's wonderful! Happy to hear it was a hit at your gathering! Yes, you can make a second and even third batch of tepache using the same pineapple scraps from the first batch. Just add the same amount of sugar you used in the first batch. It should ferment a little faster actually, since the culture is already present. Enjoy!

@@FermentationAdventure up to _3 batches??_ Oh you're awesome, thank you! I wish I'd known that when I made it the first time!

Mexican Cinnamon (Canela)is different, crumbles into their coffee pot they make. This is similar to the recipe for pineapple vinegar in wild fermentation by sandor Katz, which is used in Mexico for cooking.

Thank you so very much Daniel! Every pineapple and environment is different, so there's a lot of variables that will make your ferment unique. But bubbles should start to appear within 2-3 days, and we usually let it ferment between 3-5 days. Hope you enjoy!

Wow!❤️

Your video is 👍. Could I use fermentation lid for ginger bud? Especially when I store ginger bud in the fridge?

@FermentationAdventure

Thank you! Great question. Absolutely you can use a fermentation lid for your ginger bug! Even better idea for using these lids while storing ferments like the ginger bug in the fridge so you don't have pressure building and you don't have leakage out of your jar.

Is it necessary to keep the pineapple under the water like in the brine type of ferments ? my pineapple is floating and some are sticking out into the air. Im not using a fermentation lid , Im using a coffee filter with a elastic band to keep it on.

@FermentationAdventure

Thanks for the questions! Yes, it's important to keep the pineapple under the brine the best you can, otherwise it's very likely mold will start to grow on the exposed pieces. We like to use a small jelly jar (filled with water and with a cap) that sits on the top to help hold everything down below the brine.

ty for this. Can you do 2nd fermentation in a mason jar instead of those flip top beer bottles? I got tons of those mason jars. ty

@FermentationAdventure

Жыл бұрын

You definitely could but you don't want to cap it since mason jars aren't built for pressure! The second fermentation is really just for carbonating so feel free to skip that and just leave it in the jar instead to ferment longer if you like.

hey guys! thanks for all the videos. I'm trying both tepache and ginger fermentation. My ginger seems not right, soon will turn a "slime" like you said in the faq video. Maybe my tepache is going to the same way. What am I doing wrong? :/

Thanks for the question Adriano! We've had batches that have gotten thick before and it's not pleasant. The only thing that has solved it for us is starting over, sterilizing everything, and getting a fresh source of the fruit or ginger. It seems to be a weird bacteria that spoils the whole batch. Keep trying and you'll get a good one!

The pitcher you strained your tepache into is exactly what I have been looking for. Could you share where you found it?

Hi Carrie! We got that pitcher at Kohl's a long time ago. We did a quick search for you on their website and couldn't find it... It is a plastic pitcher. Have you tried searching on Amazon for something similar? Here's a link to some plastic pitchers on Amazon: amzn.to/3cVdOYV. You could also search for a color like teal and see if you get prettier results. Good luck!

When i made ginger beer i put a raisen in the bottom when the raison came to the top it was ready.

Good observation Justine! We've heard others do this. Most likely the raisin floats when the soda starts bubbling so it pushes it up. We'll have to try it sometime. 🙂

After carbonating them for 2-3 days ( 2nd fermentation ) you take them to the fridge and you can keep them for how long before they explode? do i need to burp them / release pressure?

@FermentationAdventure

3 жыл бұрын

Hello! You can keep them in the refrigerator for about 6 months for optimal taste. It will stay good for over a year, but the taste will be much more dry and yeasty. Regarding how often to burp the bottles in the refrigerator, it depends how quickly the pressure is building in your ferment. For us, we try to burp the bottles every couple of weeks or so. We've been fine when we've forgotten about the bottles for a couple months, but there's always a risk of them exploding.

Thanks for the video! My second batch of tepache has a syrup-like consistency after 3 days fermenting. What should I do about this? Toss it? Let it sit longer? Should I discard this pineapple? Thanks.

@FermentationAdventure

Hey there! Bummer... It shouldn't be syrup-like. We've made a lot of Tepache and we'll do three batches with each pineapple but have not experienced this. It sounds like some unexpected bacteria took hold on the second batch... I'd start over and clean the equipment very well so that this bacteria doesn't take hold on your future ferments.

Can "bee" honey replaced with sugar ⁉️

Hi, i love your channel and the contribution you keep making - i am working on fermented drinks and Pineapple Tapache was my 1st trial i went ahead with. But don't know if things went right / wrong - the tapache was configured with the peel and additional fruit pieces added to it to maintain the extra sweetness - with less then half of a gallon - (1.5 ltrs approx) and to keep it less sweet i thought of using little more then half cup of sugar - In within 2 days of time - it got in good set of bubbles - i just gave it a stir and tried out the taste - to be frank i don't know what to expect in like and how it tastes when fermented - Following were the properties of the drink i tasted - It was sour - a bit like vinegar - with no sweetness around. Don't know if thats over fermented or what - Don't know how it actually tastes like - what to expect - if you can help me with such questions - it will be awesome!

Thanks for the question! That's one you might have to judge the taste for yourself. We've had some batches that have just a slight vinegar taste but have such a great pineapple flavor since we grew the pineapple ourselves. Other times we've gotten some store-bought pineapples that tasted terrible! Either from the chemicals that were on it or because it was old and possible starting to go bad. If it tastes and smells good to you that should be the main thing. We always throw it out though if we see any mold! Happy fermenting! 🍍

i am trying today, use pineapple from backyard.😁

🤩🤩🤩 Homegrown pineapple tepache is one of the best drinks we've ever made. It's so delicious! One tip is that after we make one batch, we put the rinds and pieces back in the jar and make bonus batches! We've done it up to five times but it gets pretty weak after the first three. Enjoy! 🍍
