Bananas

[Dirtydog420]

I am getting 50 pounds of bananas for .25 cent a pound..

What do I do with them all?

Make wine.

or, you can always freeze them in small batches for later use to give wines that extra "body enhancement" many of them need.

You can make PIE

Banana Pudding! and it doesn't matter if they start to get over-ripe, they make better pudding that way.

Make a banana/oragge wine. Blend the bananas with pineapples, oranges, peaches etc. Many times a nice blend creates a better flavor than just 1 fruit. Definitely freeze them for now. That will cause the cells to rupture to facilitate the enzymes ability to release the sugar from them.

and I can't resist;
....is bananas....B-A-N-A-N-A-S?

Thats funny..

I think i have decided to make a small batch if banana wine.. might add a but of citrus to give it some charater.. I am def going to freeze them cause all my primaries are full and will be for about 7-10 days... I am going to add some to my blueberry to add some body even though its been fermenting since sat.. should be ok..

The pie sounds like a good idea for a few pounds..

I can only make a 5 or 6 gallon batch cause thats all I have available for carboys.. Guess i need to save money and get some more.. Yahoo.. More toys..

Banana wine doesn't taste bad at all. Actually, its pretty good. Unfortunately it just doesn't taste anything like banana!

What would you call this an Hawaiian wine or tropical blend and how many lbs of each would you use it sounds like it would be worth trying

The recipe I have on here tasted more like Chablis with little to no banana flavor so if I were to try it again Id at least dble the amount of nanners but probably triple or even quadruple it.

Thats kinda what I was thinking but I also almost think it would just be better to save it to use for body on some wines rather than an actual batch but maybe Ill try a one gallon and see what happens.. I dont know yet..

But again a banana pie sounds awesome...

We shall see..
