Start by thoroughly sanitizing all your equipment using a sanitizer according to manufacturer's instructions, including a fermentation vessel, airlock, and stirring spoon.
In a large pot, bring 2 gallons of filtered water to a boil.
Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the light malt extract until fully dissolved.
Return the pot to the heat and bring to a boil again.
Add the crushed pineapple, including juices, into the boiling mixture and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the Cascade hops and continue to boil the wort for an additional 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the pot from heat and cool the mixture rapidly by placing the pot in an ice bath or using a wort chiller.
Transfer the cooled wort into a sanitized fermentation vessel, adding the remaining 1 gallon of filtered water to reach a total of approximately 5 gallons of liquid.
Sprinkle the brewing yeast evenly over the surface of the wort and seal the vessel with an airlock.
Store the fermentation vessel in a dark, cool place at around 65-75Β°F for at least two weeks, allowing the beer to ferment fully.
After the fermentation period, prepare for bottling by dissolving the corn sugar in a small amount of boiling water, cool, and then mix into the beer.
Using sanitized equipment, bottle the beer, leaving about an inch of space from the top of each bottle, and cap securely.
Allow the bottled beer to carbonate at room temperature for 1-2 weeks.
Once carbonated, chill the beer in a refrigerator and enjoy responsibly. Cheers to your homemade Pineapple Mahalo Beer!
