Want to make Dragon Blood but I can't get yeast Energizer?

[Allie Geiger]

Is there a substitute for yeast energizer I could try? I checked at my local brewing store but they didn't have any. I've read some suggestions regarding throwing a banana in, has anyone had success with this method? I was hoping to start tonight.

I wouldn't say yeast energizer is an absolute necessity....It helps speed things up...but if your really in a hurry, go online and take it on the chin with the shipping...
no other shops in your area???

I am in the far northern reaches of BC Canada, I am lucky I have a single shop, and online would take weeks to get in the mail.
Luckily I messaged the owner of my one local shop this evening, and she said that although they can't get it in to sell, she would weigh me out some from the stores personal use stock and just sell it "under the table". Yay!
