    hola hola! I am from Mexico and we made this drink quite often.. I love other cultures learning our prehistoric culture cuisine.. I was just telling a friend how to prepare this.. but you would be surprise of the taste if you let your drink ferment for and average of 7-9 months.. that's how old mine is and its tastes even better.. I dont dispose the pineapple skins all I do is use the drink and put back the pineapple skins back in tge jar... add more pilonsillo ( or brown sugar and water and if I have another pineapple to add to it I usually add it as well and done.. it's ready for the next time we want more.. mine its so fermented that I only need maybe 3 cups of the fermented liquid and add 3-4 liters of water depending how fermented I want it.. but you can do it this way and this way you would never have to worry about running out. 🤪🥃 🍍

    That "tough woody" center .... liquefy it in a high powered blender etc & pour it on a mat then dehydrate it, pineapple chips..... plenty edible. Personally I don't consider a pineapple ripe until its almost rotting (it will taste sweet like a banana) and at that point the core is also plenty soft (I myself eat most of it this way). I've got to give this stuff a try that you are showing though, I bet it's delicious!

    after five three days you need to check it daily to make sure you didn't make pineapple vinegar. traditionally you add three cloves and a cinnamon stick and three cloves,, a slice or two of ginger adds flavor and it has fermenting qualities

    As an avid brewer of beer, wine, cider, mead, etc, I can say with great confidence that that drink, if it doesn't have much residual sweetness left, surely has a reasonable amount of alcohol. Based on how much sugar you put in and how long it went I'd say 3 to 5 percent. I have beers that ferment completely dry to 8 to 10 percent abv in 6 or 7 days.

    • @psalmandlondonsdaddi
      @psalmandlondonsdaddi 5 років тому +1

      True, but that's with commercial yeast. So if he added WLP-001 to this it would certainly ferment all the way out. But this is fermented with naturally occurring years left over on the skin of the pineapple, wild yeast rarely can ferment out over 1% unless you randomly find a really special strain.

    Greetings and excuse me. If you want to make a good Tepache, you should use a yellow pineapple and not green like the one you use. The Mexican Tepache is not covered either with a cap, use a towel on it. Note, if you leave it for more than 7 days you will not have Tepache, you will have vinegar. Anyway it was a good explanation & a good video.

    I made the Tepache!!! It was sooo good! And I added ginger to it too. I'm just gonna have to keep on making it now as my family are drinking it up rapidly. I barely got to taste my first batch! I transferred it to a bottle and refrigerated it. But, can I use the peels etc. again?

    HI I love this information! I was curious, do you know how long to ferment it until it becomes alcoholic? like a beer percentage? thanks !

    • @BetterDoneYourself
      @BetterDoneYourself  5 років тому

      Alejandra Santos It becomes alcoholic as soon as you add the beer!

      Hey Alejandra, it can be alcoholic if you add brown sugar and let it ferment for say, a week and a half, really depending on temperature. It may not be beer level alcohol, but it'll definitely hit you on the nose. I like to let it ferment outside in the Texas heat, but make sure you keep it closed with a rubber band and thick cloth.

    Can you use the same pineapple skins to make another batch of drink ?

    If I actually wanted to make an alcoholic version in addition to a 'virgin' version do I just have to add more sugar or let it ferment for longer? Or both? Loved the video either way!

    • @BetterDoneYourself
      @BetterDoneYourself  6 років тому

      DuranDuran19 both but you would be better off looking for some commercial yeast and not doing a wild ferment.

    Have you ever done a probiotic fruit ferment with probiotic capsule? I recently tried and it's super bubbly, but a couple pieces of the pineapple are whitish in color. Kinda makes me nervous..lol.

    • @BetterDoneYourself
      @BetterDoneYourself  5 років тому +1

      Ryan Hardman No. Those little pills are expensive and they're unnecessary. The fruit comes with all the bacteria and yeast you need.

    You need to wash / scrub the pine apple really well before you cut it, and I never heard of peppers being added to the tepache!

    after pouring off the liquid i have had good success with a second fermentation,, just a a couple tablespoons of sugar

      Patti S. I did the same thing because the sugar seemed to mellow out the “astringent” tongue feel

    Thank you for this video! I made this last week but because it is winter it is taking longer to ferment. I noticed a spot of what I think was mold and removed it. Is it still safe to drink. I brew my own Kombucha and if it has mold then you have to throw everything and start again. What about Tepache? I removed the tiny spot of mold yesterday. By the way it has been 10 days and I see a thin film forming on top.

    • @BetterDoneYourself
      @BetterDoneYourself  5 років тому +1

      If it's been 10 days, you should have drunk it a week ago.

    • @agnesbfenoli
      @agnesbfenoli 5 років тому

      Better Done Yourself Oh! I just tasted it and it is still sweet. So we decided to just throw it. I will do it in summer. I love how easy going you are when you make your ferments. I think it should be like that. Everything should be fun to do.Thank you.

    • @elsitabebe

      You could have used it, but it would have a higher alcohol level and if you left it for longer you would end up with pineapple vinegar that's delicious as salad dressings or use like you would ACV shots

    Does the fermentation get rid of the pesticides that were sprayed on the pineapple?

    Can I use coconut sugar and i thought the core was suppose to be healthy for you thanks

      Karla Telfer Yes it is. It's just too fibrous to be enjoyable to eat.
