I racked the pineapple wine after a month in the secondary with a PA of - 3% and a total ABV around 13%.
The blueberry wine continues fermenting, bubbling steadily after a month.
The citrus wine (3 weeks in) has about stopped bubbling but hasn't started clearing yet.
The tart cherry wine is still bubbling briskly after a week in the secondary.

Pineapple Wine, Day 2
Today I pitched the Cotes des Blancs yeast with a dose of Motorhead in order to stimulate the "Kilmister Effect" in which organisms continue to survive in high alcohol environments. This is an established scientific fact which I just made up.
For some reason the specific gravity went down after I added the fruit and nutrient and pectic enzyme. Maybe that's normal.

Pineapple Wine, Day One
Let me start by saying that, I AM NOT AN EXPERT in this area. I don't need to be, and I'm not.
Today I started a batch of Pineapple wine, based on the recipe in Terry Garey's The Joy of Home Winemaking.
Heres the recipe as I used it:
1 3/4 pounds of sugar dissolved in
3 1/2 quarts of water with the juice from
2 20 oz. cans of crushed pineapple which went into the primary fermenter with
1/2 lb. of chopped golden raisins and
1 tsp of Wyeast Wine Nutrient.
I boiled the water and dissolved the sugar in it. Then I added the pineapple juice from the cans and measured the PA (about 13%.) I poured the sugar water over the fruit (which I put in a nylon straining bag) in the fermenter and added the nutrient. When the must is cool I'm going to add 1/2 tsp. of pectic enzyme, and tomorrow I'm going to pitch the yeast. Stay tuned . . .
