6\/19\/24 (Day 1)<\/strong>
\n6 lbs Golden Lake Honey
\n1.5 lbs very ripe bananas
\n2 Gallons spring water
\n1 tsp pectic enzyme
\nMangrove Jacks yeast<\/p>\n

Boiled the bananas (peel and all) in about 1\/2 gallon of the spring water.\u00a0 Used the other half to help warm the honey for easier pour.\u00a0 It worked!
\nBoiled bananas for 20 minutes.\u00a0 Added the bananas to a bag while straining the hot water into the bucket.\u00a0 Added the warm honey.\u00a0 Added the rest of the water.\u00a0 Mixed well and let cool.\u00a0 Don’t want to kill the yeasts.
\nS.G. = 1.080 but the water was very warm.\u00a0 Gonna take another reading after it cools a bit. (10.6% potential ABV<\/strong>)
\nI used all of my Golden Lake honey so I won’t have any for back sweetening.\u00a0 I’ll have to use another for that.<\/p>\n

6\/21\/24 (Day 3)
\nAdded 1 tsp DAP<\/p>\n

6\/24\/24\/ (Day 5)
\nAdded 2 tsp Fermaid-O<\/p>\n

7\/5\/24
\nS.G. = 1.000.\u00a0 Removed bananas.\u00a0 Still setting on yeast.<\/p>\n

7\/19\/24 (Day 30)<\/strong>
\nRacked off yeast into new bucket and Stabilized with 1 tsp metabisulphite and sorbate.
\nLeave it for 24 hours.<\/p>\n

7\/24\/24 (Day 35)<\/strong>
\nAdded 3 lbs of frozen bananas, 6 full graham crackers, 1\/4 lb brown sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract.\u00a0 Will back sweeten in a week or two.<\/p>\n

8\/12\/24 (Day 55)<\/strong>
\nRemoved the bananas and graham crackers.\u00a0 Added another 1\/2 cup brown sugar and 1\/2 tsp vanilla.\u00a0 Let clear and bottle.<\/p>\n

9\/4\/24 (Day very long time)
\nBottled today.\u00a0 The labels are dated wrong for the bottle but by only a few days.\u00a0 It’s clear and nice today.\u00a0 Let’s see what it looks like in a month.<\/p>\n

Final bottling gravity was 1.018.\u00a0 It still tastes sweet even though it isn’t.<\/p>\n
