7\/9\/23<\/strong> (day 1)<\/p>\n

4.2 lbs honey (some clover, some orange blossom)
\n2 gallons purified water
\nMangrove Jacks M05 yeast
\nS.G. = 1.078 (if dry it will be ~ 10.88%<\/strong>)<\/p>\n

Secondary:<\/strong>
\n3 lbs bananas (Frozen and thawed)
\n1\/2 tsp pectic enzyme
\n24 Graham Crackers<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7\/10\/23<\/strong>
\n2 grams Wine Tannin
\n4 grams Fermaid – O
\nI added the suppliments today.<\/p>\n

7\/18\/23<\/strong>
\nS.G. = 1.040\u00a0 It’s very “buttery” and smooth.\u00a0 It’s only done 40 points in 10 days.\u00a0 Mouthfeel is very nice.<\/p>\n

7\/20\/23<\/strong>
\nAnother 2 grams Fermaid – O.\u00a0 No SG today.<\/p>\n

7\/26\/23 (18 days)<\/strong>
\nS.G. = 1.022<\/strong>.\u00a0 It’s still fermenting and I don’t know why it’s taken so long.<\/p>\n

8\/4\/23 (27 days)<\/strong>
\nS.G. = 1.000<\/strong>
\nI racked into clean bucket over 1 tsp Potassium Metabisulphite<\/strong> and 1 tsp Potassium Sorbate<\/strong>.\u00a0 I will add the thawed bananas either later today or first thing in the morning before leaving for IrishFest.\u00a0 Tastes like mead though.\u00a0 Smell needs more honey character.\u00a0 I’m hoping that once the bananas start to flavor for a couple of weeks then the Graham Crakers it sweetens up a little.\u00a0 It’s not clear at all.\u00a0 Still very cloudy.<\/p>\n

8\/18\/23 (41 days)<\/strong>
\nNo SG today but I added 18 Graham crackers to the bag with the bananas still in it.\u00a0 I’m not getting a banana flavor right now.\u00a0 So next week I can rack all that off, back sweeten and bottle.\u00a0 Yay!!<\/p>\n

8\/25\/23<\/strong>
\nIt’s got some weird floaties in it.\u00a0 Doesn’t taste much like banana or graham crackers.\u00a0 Gonna give it another week and back sweeten and bottle.<\/p>\n

9\/1\/23 (55 days)<\/strong>
\nI racked off into a clean sanitized bucket.\u00a0 I added: 3\/4 lb brown sugar, 3\/4 lb honey and 3 tsp of vanilla.\u00a0 OMG this is going to be amazing!\u00a0 Bottled and labeled today too.\u00a0 F.G. = 1.028.\u00a0 It’s sweet but tastes amazing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
