Pineapple Hard Seltzer Recipe Kit
Once known as the most exotic fruit, the pineapple has long been a sign of hospitality and welcoming. Rather than having a pineapple adorn your entryway, welcome guests with a fresh batch of Pineapple hard seltzer – one of our newest flavors! The all-natural crystallized pineapple powder creates a 5.5% ABV hard seltzer that’ll have you dreaming of Hawaii in no time (technically 4 weeks).

Notes from Brad, Northern Brewer Development Brewer:
“Hard seltzer waters are all the rage these days, so why not ride the wave? This kit is a very simple and straightforward fermentation consisting only of dextrose (corn sugar). The resulting product is boozy water, coming in right at about 5.5% ABV and is then flavored with all-natural crystallized lemon strawberry powder.
To ensure the best results with this kit, be sure to follow the directions and add the yeast nutrient packets according to the schedule described. Adding yeast nutrients in staggered additions ensures that the yeast remain happy and healthy and will avoid any off-flavors that stressed-out yeast can generate.
The fermentation will be complete within 2 weeks or so, but be sure to leave this batch sit for a few additional weeks to allow the yeast to drop out of solution and leave behind a clear beverage.
We have also included more flavoring than likely needed, so you can decide how intense to make the flavor – add a little at a time and taste until you are happy with the taste.”
