I think you've hit the nail on the head. With my banana wine, when it was at its most vigorous, you could actually see the airgap underneath the cap as it was being pushed up the neck of the demijohn!

Sorry about that. I didn't use fresh pineapple, I used juice from Dole. What a mess it made.
I've been so patient with this. I didn't even taste when I racked off the fruit.
But yesterday, I decided to do some maintenance and taste all the batches that are quickly filling my counter.
Both of these have gone dry. The first one is at .990 and the grilled one is .993. The first one is very light and fresh and pineappely. The second one still tastes like pineapple, but toasty and more like the pineapple in baked goods rather than fresh like the first one.
I like them both, but I don't know which I like better. I guess I have to drink a bottle of both and see how it goes. But, I'm going to be a bit more patient. I think they may be even better with age.
