6\/9\/25 (Day 1)<\/strong>
\n2 Gallon batch
\nThe goal of this one is a chocolate covered banana flavor.
\n5lbs frozen bananas that were very ripe going into the freezer.\u00a0 Thaw them today in a clean bucket.
\n6 lbs honey
\n2 gallons tap water
\n1 packet Mangrove Jacks Mead yeast
\n1 full cup Cocoa nibs toasted
\n1 lbs honey for back sweetening.<\/p>\n

6\/10\/25 (Day 2)<\/strong>
\nI could only get 1 3\/4 gallon of water in the bucket with the thawed bananas.\u00a0 I also added 2 cups of tea (2 black tea bags and 1 caramel bag) steeped for 5 minutes.
\n1 tsp Fermaid-O
\nO.G. = 1.110<\/strong> (~ 13.3 ABV possible)\u00a0 Mangrove jacks will go to 18% so not worried about the yeast.<\/p>\n

6\/12\/25 (Day 4)<\/strong>
\n1 tsp Fermaid-O.\u00a0 No gravity reading today.<\/p>\n

7\/1\/25<\/strong>
\nRacked off bananas.\u00a0 Stabilized.\u00a0 1 cup nibs toasted at 400 for 10 minutes added.
\nS.G. = 1.000<\/p>\n

7\/22\/25<\/strong>
\nRacked and back sweetened.\u00a0 S.G. = 1.022
\nLet bulk age for a month.<\/p>\n

8\/7\/25
\nBottled this beast today.\u00a0 The chocolate is really prevalent.\u00a0 I hope it chills over time and the banana starts to come through a little more.<\/p>\n
