Banana wine.
« on: July 22, 2013, 19:26:34 »
I had banana wine years ago so decided to make a gall last weekend.
You start by bringing a bag of bananas to the boil then simmer for 30mins. 



Then strain into a bucket, add citric acid, sugar, tannin, and yeast....don't look great at the moment... :drunken_smilie:

Drinking rum before 11am doesn't make you an alcoholic, it makes you a Pirate.

This was the first wine i ever made from scratch. Back in those days i didn't know the difference between American gallons and UK gallons and it turned out a tad strong. Since i was using a high alcohol yeast, lets make that very strong. 18%. 2 years later and it wasn't actually too bad. Bet if it was made right it would be bloody gorgeous.

The thing i liked most about it was that it actually had body, unlike most fruit wines and even at that strength.
