I can not help you with the recipe but I want to welcome you to the forum. Nice to see someone from this part of PA!

So basically you are making about 15 liter wine and added 7 kilo sugar to it.
And then here is the sugar in the bananas that have to be counted for.

So basically there is way too much sugar in your must.

If the wine has stopped fermenting then be sure it is done and you will have a very sweet wine.
