Please do let us know how this one turns out. Just got back from two weeks in Turkey and swmbo spent most of the two weeks drinking pina coladas! She loves the RGJ and strawberry WOW's plus the other kits that I make, but with the stocks I've built up over the last couple of months - I didn't envisage brewing that much more for a while. But she read your post over my shoulder just now, she has actually sanctioned me making this soon :)

Just a quick update on this , after the fermentation slowed down I racked off as a medium wine ( I forgot the FG reading ) and added the finings and had a quick taste as you do , although its very drinkable with a strong pineapple flavour there is not a hint of coconut so I added about 100g of dessicated coconut and have left to sit in the dark for a few weeks . I will get back to you all with a further update soon .
