got worried, my banana wine looked dark brown in carboys , so i racked all 3 of them, very, very deep golden color while i racked, the color is awesome, also all but zip on lees, about 18 more months, then bottle time, very satisfied so far,

ok racked 58 bottles half banana and the other half,,, cinnamon-all spice banana, for my brother, the banana was FG 1.040 and spiced banana was FG of 1.030, both are no doubt are dessert wines, now i still have a 6.5 gallon for me, I'm' going to add 1 stick cinnamon, and 5 grams all spice, after about a month soak, I'll rack mine to a lower SG don't know yet my guess would be SG OF 1.000 to 1.010ish ,, my brother don't drink much, and he wanted a dessert wine, shoot I'd have to be eating sweets lol,, but the banana flavor stands out in both,,,

funny . i make wines that are not sweet to me ,, but banana takes the cake for me, I will be crafting mine to more inline with what you traditional vintners make, elderberry, blackberry at a SG of 1.040 is not sweet to me, but this last batch of banana ,, was beyond the pale for me, the way i got it figured is you traditional vintners has to make grape into something, but for me country wines are much simpler because you try to keep said flavor but with alcohol. with what I've read about grape vintners,, i find it hard to believe someone figured wines hundreds and thousands of years ago, the few batches of banana never came off like this batch, but i did tweak this one very differently..
