Thanks everyone for your suggestions and advice. So right now, I cranked the thermostat up to 70. My girlfriend nearly fell over when she saw that, haha. It's been about 36 hours or so with the heat up so I just took another reading on the two 5 gallon batches, they dropped from 1.058 to 1.054...

The one I am using for example out of all of them is currently 1.058 and it started at 1.110. That's around 7-8% right? The rest follow suit. Would you think that's enough to let it keep rolling? Ya, I always check airlocks to make sure they are staying topped up with starsan.

Actually, no. I was shocked everything I read was that it would be like jet fuel, and would need to age atleast a full year to be drinkable.....she wouldn't let me cork a bottle cause she was drinking it the night we bottle it. I actually bottled a couple in swing top 750ml bottles I had...

I've made a very small 3 gallon batch of banana. I saw a few different recipes and combined and cherry pick from them. Id have to check my notes. But, I'm pretty sure I heated 2 gallons of water on the stove to 150-175. Right before a simmer. Add a whole case of sliced peeled Bananas, I get them...

So, since no one has mentioned it. Are you sure it's not fermenting? If your using a bucket lid and air lock set up, sometimes they don't seal well and will not bubble cause it's not air tight. It may be chugging away and not look like it. I panicked on a banana I made in a bucket, it never...
