  • Every time I'm in New Zealand, I eat as many of these as I can get my hands on. In the states, they're also known as Pineapple Guava; if anyone reads this, and doesn't know what a Feijoa is. They taste like if a pear, a kiwifruit, and an pineapple had a baby.

  • I wouldn't call that a 'modern' home brew. There are a few issues from a quick view:

    • Sanitize everything
    • take OG readings
    • Don't use wood. Stainless or plastic are better * <=edit for clarity *
    • Sanitize everything
    • stagger the nutrients if you can
    • 4 days on the fruit may not enough
    • take SG readings
    • use a syphon
    • Sanitize everything
    • don't use muslin
    • vodka is better than water in the airlock
    • take FG readings
    • use an auto-syphon - don't put your dirty lips all over the syphon
    • Sanitize everything

    One last point that I didn't mention above but is very important, Sanitize Everything

    PS I make meads and one of my favorite is a Feijoa mead

  • I wish I still had a Feijoa tree to try this out. It looks so tasty and not that hard to make

    • Yeah now you'll have to wait until next year!

      Personally I don't like fejoa (gasp!) but there is always ample stock around in March/April and the rest of the family loves them.
