Hit it with ec1118. That’ll take care of it.

I spray mine with kmeta. And then roll dry with a paper towel before insertion.

My brother made some wine that was so bad you’d think it was poison.

Need to make a big enough batch to let it age 6 months to a year. It really gets good then.

Checked the sg. .990.

Just an update. Racked off yielded 9 gallons. Only had 7 lbs of banana scrap left. Still has to clear but it was done doing anything spectacular. I’ll measure the sg in a couple days to see where I’m at.

When I make wine I use all fruit. I will use apple juice for some liquid but not much. The only reason to add water this time was to thin out the honey.

I’d rather teach them how to make it. I mean it’s really a satisfying hobby.

Tell me about it. I started making wine in 2012 because my brother gave me some of his and I told my wife I bet I can do better. I started reading everything I could and gathering info. I now make wine that is head and shoulders better than his. Too bad you can’t sell it, I’ve had folks offer...

Thanks. I’ll check it out. I’ve made a few of the wOTM wines, some success but some I’d never try again.

Oh, lol. Just chalk it up to the new guy

Ok. That a new analogy on me. What is “BOMM”?

Didn’t know that, was just guessing with the amount of liquid I already have.

My first banana mead. But I make banana wine all the time. It’s very good. However the way the sugar in the bananas ferments it seems to be stronger than a normal wine.

I like to wait 6 to 8 months. But it’s drinkable on day one. Just gets better with some age under its belt

That’s actually a guess, I don’t worry about yield. I was guessing about 12. But looking at it today it might be more. Freezing bananas and adding plenty of pectic enzyme sure causes them to break down better.

Hadn’t heard that

This is a 20 gallon container.

The frozen bananas will liquify. I’ll take a picture this morning before i stir.

Oh and when I make banana wine I usually use 130 lbs, about 1 to 1.5 gallons of apple juice (just for liquid), and get 12 to 14 gallons.
