Welcome from a fellow farmer. Nothing exotic like pineapple, Just corn, soybeans and wheat. Be safe and have a ball running a still.

Welcome aboard.
After living in Hawaii for a year and a half. I got really spoiled on good pineapples. If I was living somewhere that had fresh Ripe pineapples I would so be trying to make pineapple brandy. LoL
