tepaceh (fermented pineapple drink)
I like to make every summer its good so i hope you try

1 whole ripe pineapple (3 lb)
12 cups water
20 oz piloncillo or brown sugar
1 3-in cinnamon stick
3 hole cloves

1*cut the pineapple into large pieces but not add the stem
2*place the pineapple,cinnamon, pilonciollo or brown sugar, cloves and 8 cups of the water in a large bowl. cover and let stand in a warm place for 48 hrs
3*strain the tepache and add 4 cups of water

optional 3* but if you want a more strong you can add 1 cup of beer and let stand an additional 12 hrs an then stain and add only 3 cups of water

serve cold, with ice cubes
After a week will vinegary, but still good for cooking

Wow Louis, I have never even heard of it.  Sounds good!

Is there any yeast added to inspire fermentation or does it ferment on its own? Sounds interesting! 

[luisricky]

Quiggs you have to try its really good, i love it
well Mark if you add the beer I thing it can be enough yeast, because if you add more can be too strong and lost the taste but try with out the beer and with the beer, I know you going to find an interesting flavor of either of two ways

I think if I was to try this, I'd use some wine or mead yeast.  I'm not all that hip on wildyeast.  (Comes from my homebrewing tradition.)  Maybe even a mild beer yeast.  (I'd bet that Wyeast 1968 would be good, since it leaves a higher residual sugar level.  Would really compliment that pilioncillo.)  Maybe, some wheat beer yeast(Wyeast 3068).  The banana/clove note would be interesting.
