Cut the tops and bottoms off of each pineapple and cut them into thin rings, including the skins, and add them to the fermenter.

Crush 1 pound of piloncillo in a Ziploc bag using a hammer and add it to the fermenter.

Add water to the fermenter until it reaches 2.25 gallons and give it a gentle shake to mix.

After two weeks, rack the mixture into a secondary container, filling from the bottom up to minimize oxygen exposure.
