Just starting my next batch for banana and pineapple wine. The images below are of the bananas, locally called pisang raja or kings banana as they are a small very sweet fruit, from my back plot and the pineapple from my potted pineapples, it weighs in at 1.3kg's. The pineapple was grown from a previous pineapple top and i managed to get 6 "pups" when I harvested this one. I will let them both ripen for around 1 week to intensify the flavor.
I intend to make around 20 liters of wine so will need to buy a few more pineapple as none of the others will be ready to harvest by the time I start.
My normal recipe is
10kg very ripe bananas
3kg very ripe pineapples
1 kg raisins
1 liter of fresh orange juice
1 liter of super strong oolong tea
Lalvin EC 1118 yeast
I will add palm sugar if needed to get the starting SG to 1.08.
Will post the process as I go.
