I made the Twisted Mist version. Other than jacking up the sugar, I followed kit directions. At bottling time, it tasted like a nice sweet white wine, but not very much coconut so far. Hopefully that will come through as it ages a bit.

I made the Twisted Mist Pina Colada too. I used 1/2 the f-pack in primary with 3 lbs of sugar to boost the ABV. The flavor was very mild. Not what I expected but it vanished when I took it to a family event. They all thought it was a pleasant unoaked Chardonnay with a hint of pineapple at the back. For what it's worth, I was told I'm to bring it to future family gatherings.

How'd this end up 4 ya?

Just starting mine now....for summer enjoyment. Added 4# sugar to jack ABV up close to 12%

Cheers!

Interestingly enough, I just had some on Sunday at my folks' house! Mom showed me where she's been stashing the wine I give her so I picked this one out.

It was pretty good! The coconut flavor might be sneaking through a bit more now. Definitely better chilled. I would make it again except they don't have it available this year. Oh, well! I still have a few bottles of my own left, I think. (Haven't done inventory for a while!)

I've got both Brewers Best Pineapple and Coconut -- so will do some taste tests before bottling to see if any additions required.

Cheers!

Before that kit came out, I was intending to make a pineapple wine and back sweeten with piña colada frozen mix. I may still have to try that someday!

How about pineapple wine fermented with toasted cocoanut?

Hmm, that might be delicious, too!

Hubby is encouraging me to add that to the list. He's such an enabler!
