Can you please add the actual measurements and full directions in the description or provide a link?
I'd like to make this with a pineapple I have ripening on my counter at home!
Hey Sarah, here's a (slightly different) Tepache recipe! www.bonappetit.com/recipe/tepache
Some of it depends on your vessel size, but I found a lot of different recipes when I googled it and they are all different. Pineapple, 1 cup sugar, cinnamon stick, habanero pepper, about 2 inches ginger, and filtered water to about 2 inches below full. You might want to try "Guarapo de Pina" which only uses the skin, sugar, and water.
I had replied to your comment, but I guess BA deleted it when they pinned your comment.
I don't mean to be snarky here, but I'd say just go for it. You like pineapple, do more pineapple? Want to fire in the hole? Throw another JALEP in there. JUST DO IT.
just wing it and you'll be good..
My name is Vincent so the fact that he keeps saying Vinnie to the camera makes the experience all the much better lmao.
huntakilla1234 I was actually just thinking about how much more fun this would be if my name was Vincent XD. Glad you get more fun out of this lol
who's better than you, Vin?
So goddamn lucky.
Lucky you Vincenzo!
you're lonely, huh?
One of my favorite Brad Quirks™ is when his mouth gets ahead of his brain and he just adds ‘I believe’ onto the end of the sentence.
or when he just stumbles in theiddle of a sentence and doesnt stop and tries to complete the sentence
its a great way to escape blame for anything, just say "i heard" or "i believe" and nobody can every really contradicting or correct you. I use that trick alot of times when i'm not sure about the facts but still feel like talking.
mine is the high pitched, excited "HA"
I feel like Brad's house has thousands of jars of things in various stages of fermentation...
Tina D tbh he probably lives inside a giant fermentation jar
I feel like brad's house IS thousands of jars of things in various stages of fermentation
So did my fridge in college
The Chad Pad 😂😂😂 good one
Fermentation nation
3:21 "Imma add just a splash more wourder". * open the tap only for a nanosecond * "There you go". I cant with Brad 😂
holy crap it made me chuckle first time around but going back it had me rolling
One planck-time
and the sound it makes *blüpe* :D
..this was the first episode I ever watched, and how I discovered Brad and BA
I know right... like did that even make a difference? Lol!!
Masha'Allah.
Idk who's editing these videos, or how much they're paid to do so, but they need a raise
I think the editor is amazing and as a lot of potential in future videos, but some edits were a little unnecessary. For example, at 3:29 the editor points out how the clothing of a coworker looks like that of a minion. There were also some great and really impressive edits like at 6:14 and 6:35. Overall yeah I think they should get a raise if they haven't already.
@@Squilly4 but she did look like a minion
@@Squilly4 I think amiel stanek is the editor.
@@napstablook9880 it's Matt Hunziker(?)
The end was actually kind of relaxing and sort of melancholy at the same time. It’s just Brad looking over New York in a quite place drinking tepache.
Guys- try this. Stir fry some chicken and then deglaze the pan with tepache. Let it reduce and caramelize and you'll have an amazingly sweet, sticky chicken dish. Best over rice
Uuh my grandmother used to do this!! It's awesome!
you're the real mvp
Nick Belanger sounds like a plan dude, ty
Sounds Awesome!
Chicken Tepache - 7/10.
With Rice- 10/10.
Love the way brad always calls Gabby like “GABBYYYYYYY”
8:18 :)
Can't believe you guys are making tepache. That's a real authentic Mexican drink. We normally ate the flesh and just used the pineapple skin for the recipe. Nothing better than enjoying the amazing tepache burps.
This is exactly what I was thinking! My mom used to make it with just the skin leftover
I hate that I am just learning about this, and I lived in Mexico for about half a year. They were holding out on me!
I'm sooo trying this!! Skin it is!!!
How many days on that first fermentation? I haven't understood
@@albertjoseph9810 3 days I just made some this week
I love how at 9:30 you can see the exact moment Brad spots the ship in the bay and instantly forgets where he is and what he’s doing
he's a golden retriever trapped in a man's body
Grumpy Cat that’s a perfect description
Whoever edits this is a genius.
Must be himself editing
Fuad Zarzar vinnyyyyy
It's very entertaining.
matt...hunziker?
Cream Team Gaming yup
An easy way to make tepache:
You'll need the pineapple juice your mom bought you or made u for lunch, forget it at school and find it 3 days later, boom tepache
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣
How can I follow you for more recipes?
“It’s the afternoon, we can start drinking” story of my life
I don't even care what you're doing, Brad! I'm just here for the editing, the cursing, and the atmosphere. :))
wourder! :D
Just a PSA from a friendly ex-farmer. Pesticides, fungicides, insecticides and fertilizers are still applied to organic produce. The only difference is that the poisons are organic in origin. They can be equally or even more dangerous to human health than their non-organic counterparts when consumed. If you're the type of person who feels strongly about washing produce, organic produce needs to be washed too! Organic doesn't mean safer.
I realise that this is an old post but the main reason organic pineapple is used in this recipe is because it wouldn't have been irradiated upon entry into the US.
JesusFriedChrist slight nitpick - increasing yield volume has in many cases decreased nutrient density
JesusFriedChrist BS
@@quintenfranks8024 slight nitpick there are non studies that can confirm that, and there are some that states that nutrient values are the same
If you wash your pineapple, add some beer to give the tepache a yeast-y head start.
Still here in 2019 rewatching old episodes 🙌🙌🙌
I’m binge watching all of them 😂
100%
‘Look at that ship Vinnie. Almost looks like a science research vessel.’
I died
I liked "Ellis Island ---> liberty island" because he got them mixed up 😂
Ah yes, the editing is what I come here for. And wouder.
and some bop-bops!
Mauricio Valdes the editor deserves an award for what he/she does!
Mauricio Valdes wouder is the best kind of lihcked lol
Muu Moo101 wourder*
Reminds me of UNHhhh
This series with Brad is the reason I subscribed
yes
SAME
** Claire **
A video with both Claire and Brad in it is the reason I subscribed. I love Claire, in a I don't mean it as creepy but it definitely comes off as creepy anyway sort of way.
Claire for me, but i LOVE this stuff with brad and the editing that just makes fun of everything. "Wourder"
The crashing noises whenever doors are closed kill me
Lmao Brad being scared to go into Rapo's office.. kinda telling
Was looking for a comment like this lol
@@BeanAlex me too haha
He doesn't have to be scared anymore
Ellis Island/Liberty Island ending is hilarious. 😂😂
Tosh T I'm dying hahaha
"I just won Chopped!!"
Haha yea just found out what building he’s in
Thanks to Brad the empty bottom shelf in my kitchen cabinet has turned into my experiment shelf containing all kinds of fermented and living foods/drinks. I spend the first part of my day checking to make sure everything is growing properly and I love it.
Nice that you've found a new hobby!
Lol I was just about to head over to amazon lol
Your fermentation station? *choo choo*
Yea same
In México we drinks tepache in summer, with lemon and chili. So fresh .
👰🏼👢💍🐱
If carbonating: don't cap a half full bottle, only properly filled bottles. The empty space in a half full bottle will fill up with CO2 and a big, potentially dangerous blast will occur when opening.
He makes me wish my name was Vinnie.
I'm super happy to see tepache featured in this episode! However, I have to point out that being a Mexican dish, it is made with the leftover shells of the pineapple, without the flesh, which was probably served in some fancier dish.
As a poor country we enjoy the pineapple and then use the shells for tepache, instead of throwing them away. This is a cornerstone of the most authentic Mexican food; it's something I love and call: "the elegance of scarcity".
So originally you made tepache only with its peels? Wow
What about the habanero? Is it necessary? I kinda feel weird seeing it inside beverage lol
@@The14541 when we make it at home we just use skin and brown sugar, but the addition of ginger seems like a good idea for some extra spice, habanero seems like too much.
@@ScreamForEly How much pineapple do you use? I usually do 1 per gallon, but it looks like Brad is doing two?
Could you please share your recepie?
Daniel Dwiky Adding chillies to a beverage is a brilliant idea. We have many spicy beverages globally, and several in India. One such Indian beverage I love is a South Indian beverage called Panakam, which is made for the summer-time festival of Ram-Navami, celebrating Lord Rama. The beverage is made of Tamarind and Jaggery (Panela for Mexicans), with lots of cardamom and black pepper. It’s sweet, fragrant, and very spicy, and tastes brilliant when chilled
We don't actually put habanero nor ginger to the beverage just plain pineapple and Piloncillo.
Note. I am from Mexico
Yes, exactly I was thinking.
Thank you carlos, it tastes strange! I am going to do this again soon, with JUST pineapple and piloncillo and it will be MUCH better i am sure!
@@christinegarner1294 and tasty
Y también la canela y clavo!
Can i ask for the ratio? How much sugar to switch for piloncillo , i live in indonesia where there is a tons of very sweet Pinnapple but we dont have piloncillo but we do have brownsugar ,cane sugar. And coconut sugar
Here in Mexico, Tepache is served on a clear little bag with a straw! The original thing is like a wine, tastes like a wine without alcohol, so everyone can drink it :)
God bless the editors of this
Shawnee Union good ole Vincenzo
Yo why does this guy always look like a crab fisherman?
Cazmeus more like a lumberjack
because he's a big old try-hard
He's our big old try-hard.
probably the leather apron
LOL
That look of distrust in Amiel’s eyes 🤣 9:07
RIP BA just for Brad's videos. Seriously. His videos are easily the most informative and useful of the bunch.
I see Brad, I click.
Same! lol
What anime is that xD
I happened upon this video by complete chance. I also just happened to have a pineapple to the perfect ripeness on the counter. I went for it. Tasted it all the way through the process and it was delicious. Bottled it for the second ferment and got a wonderful carbonation. I also just happened to have a bottle of rum. I can confirm that tapache once joined with rum go swimmingly together. Thank you for fantastic live food videos. I can't wait for more.
Oh, that is so cool. On your second batch, I know you said the carbonation was good...how was the flavor compared to the first batch?
I bottled mine as well, but it's in the bottle for less then a day now and there is a, I suppose yeasty layer forming on top of the liquid. Is this normal? Can you drink this? When it was in the larger vessel it all looked very good.
I started mine 3 hours ago. I didn't have a vessel so I put it in two wine bottles. Since I used canned pineapple, i also threw in a piece of active yeast. I just came into the room and one cork had flown of even though i left enough space at the top. The "safe space" on the second bottle was nearly gone. Once i opened it carefully ( scared it would explode) it started bubbling like crazy. Comparable to a champagne shower 😅. I tasted it and it was nice. I'd guess that it shouldn't be this sweet though...
I'll make sure to give them enough space for the night so that they won't explode on me. What should the taste be like though?
I just made this as well and it turned out fantastic! Lots of carbonation which is something I've struggled with a bit when making fermented ginger beer, but I think all of the sugar in the pineapple helps a lot. I'd say the taste is sweet, but tangy which I really like. I also agree that it goes very well with some rum!
Absolutely my favorite series on this channel. Brad's personality is wonderful to watch and to see him interact with the team is so fun, especially Vince. And on top of that, the editing is so engaging and fun! 🎊
Tepache is amazing! So much good stuff happening in Mexico that most of us have no idea about... Never saw one with habaneros and ginger, sounds intriguing. I make a pretty pedestrian one I guess...piloncillo, cinnamon and a couple cloves. But a thousand times better than any commercial soda!
Your right... No chiles or ginger.
omg brad is so cute how flattered he was when Vinny asked about his shirt 😂😍
Victoria Faith Russell 4:57 :)
These videos (and lets face it, Brad) are the highlight of my week.
D-MMA I feel the exact same way.
why is it unbearable anyway?
no its the editing on brads vids
Vin and brad makes the channel.
We made some this week! My husband Sal and I discovered your vids about 2 weeks ago and cannot stop watching! You're a diamond, Brad!
@6:10 with Brad reacting to the spiciness of the drink and Vinnie's train-sound editing. I'm freakin' rolling omgggggg
i love brad more than i love myself
This is the kind of quality content i'm subscribed for. Brad, please never stop being you.
I LOVE all of the annotations. They really make all of these videos stand out above the rest. !!!!!!
I worked in restaurants a majority of my life and out of all the restaurants I worked in only 1 will always stand out in my head. It was called Smokin Lil's BBQ. The atmosphere was perfect. Everyone had a great attitude, helped eachother/worked together and it was like family. Watching these guys in the kitchen reminds me of those days. They're all enjoying eachother and what they're doing and it's entertainment gold to watch! Just need some lovage in the background for music and I'm back in the year 2002! ❤
I like that he had no problem saying that he bought the shirt from the second-hand store. He's even cooler now!
why would he have a problem saying that? he's a rich new york try hard, they all shop at thrift stores.
some people think that is embarrassing to buy things from second-hand stores, which is stupid because I have found very interesting and unique clothes in that kind of stores.
You realise that buying stuff from a thrift store isn't that big a deal? Or are you 12
"what's that Vinnie? Oh we don't have any sponsors" I laughed so hard.
You have such a great personality. Words that rarely come out of my mouth.
Glad to see somebody else mixing beer & ginger beer, people always thought it was strange when I did that; love it!.. great vid!
This guy reminds me of Charlie from it's always sunny in Philadelphia
this guy needs his own channel
I remember my mom making tepache with just the peels and piloncillo. So good.
Exactly
What is piloncillo?
@@rebeccabaxterbard8073 raw brown sugar, somewhere in between sugar and molasses.
I know this video is a year old, but I'm just watching it now. I love these videos and all of the chefs that are part of the series. You all rock and that includes the videographer and editor.

Kraut Source sounds like a German gofundme
He's has very nice energy! Thank you for the video. Just made some Tepache using his directions😊
So much fun! I love it!! I always LAUGH at the translations and picture amendments. Good info plus entertaining as heck.
it's alive is the best series from BA. Brad + that editing = magic
Ok Bon Appétit, if Brad and the editor don't get a huge bonus this summer for these great videos we'll boycott your offices!
Boycott*
Do you normally visit their office? How would they know you're boycotting?
Post production was the BEST!!! Great work.
I love these videos but the editing just makes it gold ❤️❤️
I just opened my first bottle. Oh my GOSH...UNBELIEVABLE! It's thicker than I expected, but it's fizzy and so refreshing. Thanks for sharing this with us Brad!
Me and my brother made tepache in preparation for a trip at the end of the week. We did got everything done and put it in the jar. That was in June, and it’s still on our table. We burp it every once in awhile, but at this point, it’s basically a spicy pineapple wine.
Jan Michael Vincent we still have a bottle from last Christmas that we feed w a bit of sugar periodically & it tastes like a pineapple liquor of some sort. They take shots of it at this point.
Pineapple moonshine
3 years and i found this iconic program rn? Makes quarentine a lot better
The amount of times I rewind just for the edits is crazy lol love you vinny
"Do you want to get ants? Because that how you get ants"
Is that how you get ants Other Caleb?
Other Caleb: Yeah Caleb, that's how you get ants.
Lannnaaaaaaaaaa
@@Marson711 are we still doing phrasing?
This is my favorite show ever. Genuinely lol every time. Bravo Bon Appetit.
The editing of these videos is so great.
this show is like a professional aeries kitchen with julian solomita
everything is edible and looks good. you won't find any banana peel "pulled pork" here.
I see Brad, I click. Easy peasy.
these graphics perfectly compliment brad's quirky delivery. KEEP THIS SERIES GOING REGULARLY.
I love the person who makes the edition of them videos! Any funny situation ends up being 10x funnier lol
Making this today! So excited!!
I'm rewatching It's Alive again.... Please give us another season! Lol
Brad is legit one of my favourite people I have seen on the internet, legend!
give the editor a raise
And an Oscar!
I’m Mexican, and I remember my mom making baches of tepache whenever we had pineapple for breakfast, mind you I was like 8 but it tasted delicious 🤤 probably shouldn’t have been drinking it at that age.
puede ser alcoholico y no alcoholico asi que si te daban puede ser prq zi podias jaja
Should it taste a little like medicine, “cough syrup”
Absolutely love this channel ❤ on UA-cam. Just an informative and make you feel good stuff. Thank you 😊 💓 ☺
So this was awesome, thanks for making this video
I'm brand new to whatever this in and am dying each time he says "Vinny." He is like a toned down Rick Sanchez saying "Morty" and replacing his burps with funny wordor pronunciations
Gabe Videos i didn’t make that connection until now lmao no wonder why i like this guy
I didn't make that connection because the whole world isn't about the Rick and Morty cartoon.
It’d be even funnier if that wasn’t even the cameraman’s name
+Bon Phone DAE NOT CARE ABOUT ?
It's just him addressing the cameraman.
There should be a vinnie counter on this series
*Vinnie counter breaks after 2 episodes*
I actually took this to school for a chemistry project and got an A+ for it, either that or it would’ve blown up in my face, thanks Brad!!
Thanks you so much for sharing it
This dude would make a good cartoon character voice. Haha maybe it's just me. Kinda sounds like one already. Maybe he did some voice overs in a past life. Lol
Maybe a big ole goofy dog
I was cracking up at the last guy who tried the drink and had two pairs of glasses!! The editing is genius, I wouldn't have even noticed.
Loved the presentation. Fun!
Ahhhh the fizz on that second batch, perfecto!..
This is literally my favorite thing in the world, it’s literally sold on the side of the road in México. It’s served with a ton of ice just like any other agua fresca.
Discovered this series today and must say I love the editing. It goes along with Brad’s personality and he has a great one. Keep it up BA!
this came out super well for me!
1 pineapple (cored, use the actual pineapple fruit for something else), cut into chunks>split into 2x large 2L mason jars filled each one about halfway> fill pineapple to cover>add 1/2 cup of brown sugar and a stick of cinnamon to each one>elastic trick worked well! i would suggest partially closing the mechanism too to let something build up> wait 3 days > bottle> wait 3 days> refrigerate (this made 3 grolsh bottles and verrry fizzy, not too sweet!)
Thanks for the translations vinnie!!!
Smooth guy brad opens a bottle with a knife then drops the cap.
Whenever I find a gem like Brad on the Tubes, I know it's gonna be a good day.
Thank you! Finally a video of quality sound. For making pineapple wine.
This is the first time I've watched Brad's series and damn, he's fun to watch. Love the personality and the badda-boom, badda-bing thing he's got going. Plus tepache looks delicious! I gotta try it!
When can we expect an "It's Alive" cookbook???
Brad and Vinnie, I love you dearly. I love you. And I love wourder. too. I love you. Thank you.
littleflower1826 :) we love you too!
The sound and camera affects lol love it
Great editing. Having the mistakes checked and bettered in the after is extremely funny to me 😄 seriously funny.
First time watching these vids and I already love this dude. wouder.
